GTM supercharger for G37X?
I hear they are coming out with a TT kit for the g37x, but what about a supercharger kit? I know they g37s and X engine are basically the same, just the filter and oil pan are in totally different places, so im not sure how this effects installation.
I plan from now on to save for a SC kit. No more little things. For anyone who cares, i decided on a superchargers for a few reasons 1) they sounds amazing (but so does the TT kit, so no big deal change) 2) Ease of instal, im a DIY kind of guy, unless my G needed a new crank i wouldn't be caught dead in a mechanics shop. I looked at the G37 tt kit instal DIY on the forum, as well as read the GTM SC instal guide online. The SC is a MUCH easier instal and i can easily do it myself, unlike the TT kit which is much more difficult. 3) I want a big project to make me feel good about myself :) |
There is less room around the engine block on the x models. But they will have something. It's probably quite a ways off though. That just means more time to save up the $... and they have to beef up the 7AT as well.

^^ speaking of that, ive heard the 2010 g37x ha the same tranny as the fx50, if thats so it should easily be able to handle the extra torque. The instal seems quite simply actually.

^^ thanks weiboy! im going to wait about a year like i said anyways. Im generally a pretty relaxed driver (when i accelerate normally i normally dont go over 2.5k revs). I maybe push the g to around 5k once every 2 days. redline very seldomly (generally at the drag strip/highway if needed). I think with my driving style it would last a while, since the SC wouldnt be kicking in constantly.

wouldnt u want to go with a turbo if you have an auto instead of s/c
|
^^^ it wouldnt really make a difference. plus if i want to instal myself the turbo is out of the question.
|
steve you should call sam and let us know what's up. (ask for the TT too :D)
|
i may give him a call in a bit, i mean its a year away for me, so i hope by then they will coem up with one, i read a post he made a while back that the TT kit should be coming out any day now! and i hope a SC kit as well
|
Bringing back the dead, I got an e-mail from Sam @ GTM and he said that they are finishing the TT system for the G37x and when they finish that they will start to tackle the SC system. I'm patiently waiting (well not too patiently) maybe if all the x'ers show some interest it will get produced quicker. I think an AWD SC'ed G would be a beast!
|
haha, sadly OP has already ditched the G and gone down the STI route.
