if you read the description it states its for a 370Z not the HR.... I would call them directly before making any orders.....

Obviously copy and paste. The 370Z is an HR.

A lot of progress have been made, the supercharger kit is already on the car and we are just finalizing couple of the brackets. We were hopping that a lot of the 370z parts will transfer over the 350z HR but it did not work that way, so we had to make some of the brackets from scratch.

Will be posting some progress pics shortly

Actually, We are expecting better results then the VHR since the HR has less overlap then the VHR.

One way to find out... testing.

Here is some pics of the development progress about a week ago, We are hopping to be on the dyno with full press release in the next coming week. The price on the web site is introductory price. we are shooting to ship kits out the same time as the 370Zand the G37 witch is suppose to happened in the next 30 days .

Stay tuned

Sam

Sam,

I hope the VQ35HR S/C kit finished product is as refined as the VQ37VHR kit. I have already paid for the VQ35HR kit sight unseen going by what the VQ37VHR kit photos looked like in order to get the introductory price. Just looking at the photos from both build threads the VQ37VHR looks alot more refined as far as the accessory mount plate and pulleys so far.

Yes it will be, If you go back and find the development pics for the VHR kit, you will see the same process. the final finished product will look a lot better.

Sam,
I have an 07 nismo, will the front strut bar still fit? I know some turbo kits won't allow for it.

thanks

GTM redesigned their pipes to allow for the install of the factory strut bar. i have not gone in for this change yet because of a few questions that i had about the performance of the redesigned pipes. Anyways we're thread jacking..
Sam work looks amazing, cant wait to see some of these kits out there. Im loving the TT no problems with reliability and still going strong.

You could always look at the HKS GT Supercharger for your DE

This thread ain't for the DE. Look somewhere else.

Very interested in the final product and HP/Torque curves.

I have been keeping up with this. If it all comes out good and for around 5k for the kit, which is not bad at all you guys can count me in to purchase one by summer even if it means to take a loan lol. I just want to see some legit numbers on a HR that someone has installed. Keep it up!

Keep in mind that it will be well over 5k when all said and done.

Depends on the introductory price and whether or not the purchaser has the skill level needed to install it themselves! Unfortunately for me, my tuner is 4 hrs away.

The final cost will differ for each person who buy's this kit. I hope the Dyno #'s are legit. Becuase those #'s will determine how many people choice this route over Twins. I wouldn't want the #'s to be exaggerated in anyway.

The whole "turn-key" kit idea is just a cheap way to go F/I. Yea, the car will run but for how long? IMO cheap + F/I don't go together in the same sentence. Going F/I the right way isn't cheap. I'm all for a S/C tuner kit though.
