Reflections on GTM over the years

bullitt5897 · 02-12-2015, 01:14 PM

By the way I am revamping alot of stuff on the car... so it is on jack stands for the moment. We may also be pursuing another tuning avenue outside of Uprev... The car drives like a big turbo supra... about 400rwhp in the low rpm while its spooling then bam light speed! I have yet to take a full throttle pull.

How much power does the car have now?

I know the big fuel pump was pulled out of it because it was found in one of the rescued cars that ended up getting finished and tuned somewhere else.

Is the GT-R manifold still on your car? I was under the impression that was also pulled off and put on the same car.

If a business has a long reputation of bad or problematic transactions and you still decide to patronise their services, you have nothing to complain about and nobody should feel sorry for you. If you get burned before the problems are known, complain away, help prevent others. If you stand up for a lousy business and try to convince others "this time will be different", ask yourself why you are setting yourself to look bad and shouldn't you bare some guilt when more people get screwed over? I got no dog in this fight. But I have seen this over and over in all car forums.

Its a local walk-in-only family owned machine shop. I wouldn't post their info to a message board without their consent... especially this thread.

Most shops that rebuild engines can install a stroker kit. I believe the only specialty equipment an engine builder needs is just a cylinder honer, or whatever the hell it's called

phunk · 02-14-2015, 05:38 PM

Sort of... But in the VQ's case, a stroker generally involves wet sleeves; now removing most machine shops from the equation. The guy I know has a large investment into a Mazak machining center that is dedicated to performing wet sleeve installation. He also has experience with wet sleeving Nissan 60 degree V6s.

Also, a high end machine shop has an endless list of specialty equipment well beyond boring and honing for engine balancing and assembly. If the only equipment your builder has that you have never used before is for boring and honing, your odds of a successful build will be greater somewhere else.

I know the member who got my parts... We already had a several hour phone conversation about it.

We went even larger on the fuel pumps I will attach a pic of it next to an oem unit and a 340lph that most run...

Yes I still have the GTR intake manifold as well see my avatar...

bullitt5897 · 02-14-2015, 08:53 PM

As far as power is concerned... I am having the car gone through by a local mechanic that I trust. Once that is finished I will start a thread on this specific build.

Well posting your fuel pump photo certainly re-qualifies the car to me! Not to assume you cared what I thought... but when I was imagining your car just having a stock pump module back in it now, I wasnt figuring to myself that that car was quite as high of power as you may have thought. But I am glad to be pleasantly surprised.

Keep us posted, or better yet, start the thread so I can sub, lol.

Ah an Aeromotive in-tank.

I wasnt sure on the intake, just assumed it was yours that made it to his car.
