GTM turbo kit feedback thread
it is not GTM engine management, it is uprevs engine management and GTM's fuel map for the turbo kit. uprev is not a piggyback, it is a reflash(reprogram) to the car's ecu. You can not tune until you get the car running.
1- install turbo kit
2- down load software(osiris standard & cipher) from Uprev.com's support page
3- reflash ecu using osiris with the cable that will be with the kit and the tune I will email you.
4- You will do a data log using cipher( labtop connected to car, driving)
5- you will have to email your data log to a tuner.

When this thread was posted I was going to keep my involvement to a minimum, after all it is for customer feed back and that type of feed back is what will allow us to improve our product and services. I will be the first to admit that there were some issues brought up that need to be addressed and we took them very seriously.
We do apologize for any inconvenience we may have caused, having said that I can assure everyone that we will not stop until we have met and exceeded your expectations.
Here at GTM we believe in doing things right the first time, arguably we have built and installed more turbo systems on the Z and G than any other company in the world. On average we have anywhere between 30 to 40 cars in our shop that are sent to us from all over the country and outside the US, just by looking at the shop build section you can see that. We always followed a simple rule: Nothing ever leaves the shop until it is 100 % done right, and passes several QC checks.
Now when we decided to become a turbo systems manufacturer, we took the same approach and we didn't spare any effort or expense in doing so. Having installed many JWT,APS, HKS and GReddy turbo systems we wanted to come back with some thing better and far superior in quaility, completeness, and upgradability - we wanted to come back with the ultimate forced induction solution period. Even when it comes to R&D cars we purchased designated cars for that purpose, from a 350Z DE to a 350Z Rev-up, 350Z HR, 370ZVHR, G35 and a G37.
One of the things we wanted to offer with our turbo system is upgrade-ability. And we have seen many customer have to switch kits two or three times we wanted to come back with a turbo system that can grow with your power needs so when some one goes FI on a stock engine and then a year later wants to build a 1000 WHP car they can start with a stage one or two then when the time comes they can install a dual GT35R and not have to replace the turbo kit. We are the only company that have such a capabilty with 6 stages and 9 different turbo options which also makes the kit installation a little more technical than other kits
So we spend a great amount of time trying to come back with the most comprehensive tear down procedures, parts list, and installation manual.
Here is some of this info .....

What you need to worry about!
Instead of worring about what parts it has or how to install, worry about whether GTM will deliver the parts to you once you have paid. I paid for 649.80 of HR cooling mod pipes for the vqde and Sam will not ship them. He has been paid in full, I took my car out of his shop and he says he doesn't have the pipes...Im 3000 miles away in FL Sam, I sure don't have them..But I have PAID for them none the less....be careful of doing ANY business with GTM as you may not get what you pay for. I am living proof in this little way and sevral others with SAM.
BEWARE!
BEWARE!
You can expect only 500 crank HP. As this is the max rating from crank that GTM recommends for these turbo. If you wanted to go higher you should have probably ordered the stage 2,3, or 4. Stage 1 is fine for non built engines but if you are building your engine and pushing higher PSI and expecting higher numbers than say 425 whp then you are going to need larger turbos.

Well, the stage 1 turbo is rated at 500hp. They informed me that this was crank hp so when you take into account the standard 20% drivetrain loss it puts you at 425whp. Maybe you can push them to 500whp but I myself wouldn't push it and risk blowing them. Nice build by the way!

Oh really?
"Here at GTM we believe in doing things right the first time. We always followed a simple rule: ]Nothing ever leaves the shop until it is 100 % done right, and passes several QC checks."
[lol!!! SAM ASSEMBLED a 4.0 TT long block for me and sent it over to Tim at SFR to install since Sam had screwed me on many other parts, invoices etc so that I had to get a lawyer.
The engine was never turned over once to see if there were any issues. Tim rec'd the motor and could NOT turn the engine over, so he droopped the oil pan and Sam or his crew had not clearance the block for the crank properly...What if Joe Blow was installing it himself and blew it?
FORGET that BS marketing snake oil stuff...100% right my ***.....

I have brought the GTM stage 1 350z turbo kit off these guys a month ago and have emailed them three times and have herd nothing back on an rough time frame when it will get delivered and I am starting to think that I never will, Customer service is VERY POOR from these guys, soon I will be demanding a full refund due to poor service and the long time it has taken so far

Get ur money!
Yea, get ur money IF YOU CAN....you will be lucky to get all the pieces u paid for...I paid for recirc pipes and got open dumps....paid for ceramic coating on numerous parts and it either wasn't, painted black and/or poor workmanship..
At least they don't have ur car like they did mine....the place was a ghost town when I checked on my car Jan 2012...car is now at SFR...
Sam Zawahara is both a liar and a thief (at least he was to me)....
Built me a nonfunctioning long block and TIm at SFR had to repair it...was robbed of 3-5k worth of parts and 1.5 yes of Time,only to get a fucd engine
DONT FUC WITH SAM OR GTM! THEY HAVE GONE TO SHEET!11
