Decided to take a dive in to the abyss. Started replacing the 3 center gauges with some 60mm Defi gauges.

At this point there is very little of the original pods left in tact.





The other two were ripped out shortly after.

Hey dude, how does the dual Derale 40 Row oil cooler compare to the more traditional 34 row 370Z oil coolers, or even against the AAM R line oil cooler?

So the derale 40row unit is rated at 67k BTUs/hr The setrab 34row is rated with a range of 43-59k BTUs/hour according to setrab literature. I am not sure what the range is about. Either way it seems I picked up at least a marginal increase in going with the Derale coolers.

Plus the price is hard to beat. Once you start routing braided lines and buying AN fittings things add up quick. Setrab units definitely have a slightly better fit and finish. However I would say these units seem pretty damn solid for roughly half the price. One day I might eat my words but I am not worried in the least about my decision to go with these vs setrab.

Didn't look in to the rline type. So can't comment there.

Thanks for the kind words. Felices fiestas! To you too.

Should have some updates soon. I have my wheels and tires and the Moonbeam kit is stateside but seems we have to sort one form out before it will clear customs (just some clerical BS)

My personal opinion of Gamma as a company is mixed. If you are willing to chase them a bit (I.e. call instead of email) you can generally get a response. I hate calling and my success rate with email is less than 50% at this point. Personally I think k this indicates a lack of organization and a short-sighted business model. After all it is 2016, email is easy. Either way people seem to be having successful transaction with them and the quality is top notch.

The other option is to see what RJM comes out with. Personally I would have liked to see some innovation on a centrifugal blower but if they pull off this roots type it should be pretty badass.

Then of course there is Stillen. Guys seem to be modifying these and getting g equivalent HP numbers or maybe a little higher than the Gamma.

Overall I am a SC guy. I like the linear way in which they make boost. 450-500whp was my goal and I am happy with the cars balance at this level. If you think you will ever want more than that go turbo.

Thanks for the info man. I like the rotrex supercharger so I've always been eyeing this kit. Seems to make good power as well. The stillen kit with air to air conversion kit seems to do well but I'd hate to drop that money on a brand new kit and then spend another 2k going air to air. I prefer supercharger as well because It's just easier lol. I wish someone made pro charger type kit

Im in the same boat as you George. I was originally planning on Stillen with A2A, but the added cost for doing that plan makes it a bit steep. So decided it's probably better to go Gamma, already has A2A, is quality and cheaper.

But then I might hold out for the RJM SC, might wait lol the power bugg is really itching me...

got around to installing the new CS fenders and front bumper.

i have never installed aftermarket fenders before, so i have no real reference on how long it normally takes to get them aligned, but i spent a long *** day in the garage getting them done. i would say fitment vs OEM is like 8-9 outta 10.

next step is test fitting the overfenders and then start hacking bits off the car.

photo of what i thought would be my final cooler setup. turned out that the 40 row on the RH side interfered with the intercooler piping, so i had to step down in size. literally didnt work by about 3/8" I'd mocked it up before starting, but the final setup just didn't clear. I'll post final photos soon.

Can't wait to see your completion of the Moonbeam install. I have a MB spoiler sitting around for almost a year, it's painted but still deciding if I'm going to install or not.
