GTM: never too late for another SC kit
I'll give more details soon, but to appease a little bit of your curiosity here is the dyno from last week.
thanks you'll not find much about the AAM Kit in a built Z or G. They came up with it really late. However I like the borg warner efr turbos and their headers. Nice integrated design, well for the narrow space conditions in a Z.
1st dyno, not bad. Torque bumps up at the bottom end, typically Turbo kind. Can imagine where this ends up with a proper haltech tune and e85.
Great low end torque. I'm assuming this is a 91 tune and that the timing was pulled heavily after 6k rpm. Looks like you'll easily break 550hp with e85. Are you going to up the boost with the haltech tune?

You are right it's on 91 and we are looking to go quite a bit higher on the boost side.
Give the guy a break. How would you feel if you got screw out of $20,000 by GTM, Plus all the waisted time. Think about.
OK, so he bitches about it a lot......so what! I would too. I'd badmouth the guys all over the internet as much as I could. So that GTM does not screw over anyone else.
Fellow 350z members should back one another, so that we as a group have power against Vendors and manufactures like GTM.
Filing a Law Suit against GTM already in Bankruptcy will just waist more of his money and time.
This Fourm is for Support of other members. If we don't do that as a group we are powerless...... Remember that guys, for the time when you get screwed and need support.

However, the way he's going about it and his rediculous grammer is another story........

Been meaning to give you guys some progress on this project and finally got some time to do it.
All of the GTM SC kit obviously came off the car and many OE parts had to be purchased to return the car to an OE like status for the AAM to bolt up correctly. It was expected but the extend of the parts needed was quite a surprise. As days goes by and as things comes off unveiling the work of GTM, i become more and more dissapointed in Sam and my decision to believe that people can change. When this project is complete i will, as promise, write a summary on my experience with GTM and close this thread.
As for the current status of the car, we simply just bolted on the AAM kit as-is meaning.
- 4.15L 11:1 engine
- Cosworth intake manifold
- 5 angle port/polish head with GTM stage 3 NA cams 302/292 11.5/11.0mm
- Motordyne XYZ Y-pipe
- Tanabe Medallion exhaust
- AAM EFR Twin Turbo kit
- Aquamist HFS3 with two pre FMIC injection
- Haltech with FlexFuel and boost solenoid
Fuel system had to undergo some changes due to some issues in it while tuning the Haltech with E85 so we had to get a new regulator, re-plumb, and new injectors (ID 1300). Still waiting on the latter and the project will resume.
I'm fully aware that the setup is not optimal on paper, but for the sake of money and time we'll just let it be and see how it all runs together.
FYI, the graph i posted a few weeks back is running on Uprev, no Aquamist and 91.

very true. but i hate the way the stillen charger is set up. I like the oem look that it has. buuuuuuut i think im sol with their kits....on to turbo(s)
Gabe, just saw your car at ZCG while they were test driving it. It sounds great. Rob said he thinks your clutch was slipping on the dyno but you were pulling something like 580? Looking forward to updates.

i want to keep the oem look. that gtm gave. the vortech requires the throttle bodies to be moved to one side. the oem intake mani seems to be holding up to boost much higher than what im looking for. unfortunately it seems like my only option is turbo

AVOID THE NEW GTM RIPOFF (GAMMA MOTORS) BY SAM COKSUKAZAWAHARA!

Really sad to see you parting ways with your car, hopefully you'll keep true to the nissan bloodline.
I'm contemplating selling the kit as a whole or parting it out. If you are interested then i can give you a killer deal on it. Let me know.

If you want to deal with a known cheat, liar, thief, crook, go ahead...your
call.
Make sure the IC piping fits correctly, that the turbos are newer gtX models, that IF you choose external wastegates that the internal ones are welded CORRECTLY shut, that the steering coupler doesn't need modifications, that the instructions for the water cooling lines for the turbos are CORRECT...These are all issues I have had to deal with from their. kit.
DO NOT TRUST SAM COKSUKKA ZAWAHARA WITH YOUR MONEY...If you do purchase it, do it in person with some form of documentation...He WILL lie to you...been there, done that many times when dealing with him. He's a snake!
