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.

I guess it's gonna be a while for all the x'ers... A sad time in history.
|
Hey I'm waiting on this also.. More of my concern it the T-Case tho.. I know with a tranny cooler and UPREV and a field they are messing with to help the VB issues we have with FI. So that being said has anyone asked about out T case. FN this is small man looks like a shoe box.. LOL I'm worried with the extra TRQ and WHP that thing will SNAP.?
Saving $$$$ anyway :) Hope for this time next yeat to be SC'd. |
Well, I guess we'll all save our money and keep our fingers crossed that Sam starts working on it because I rather SC the car I love instead of buying a new one.
|
Well. Sam has an X himself. It'll happen. But who knows when. I'm fine waiting. Getting the 7AT rebuilt with the new clutch packs etc. will be additional cost. More time to save up. ;)
|
Bringing it back from the dead. I'm getting impatient. I need to hide the money for when it comes out.
Anyone hear any progress yet? |
call GTM! that's the best way of finding out instead of asking the forum
|
Will do. I'll post the response.
|
The TT kit for the X model is done, We are just doing final instruction and all the documentation for the installation, this was a big deal to make probably one of the most challenging kit we had ever done witch will defiantly pave the way for the SC system. I think the pics can give you an idea of how compact the AWD models are .
Sam Here are some pics of some the final product , This is a 4.2 L stroker with 800HP Package running a pair of GT3071 turbos .

hey sam, what are you going to do with the trans and diffs to handle 800hp? also i need to take sometime to give you a call to get some advise.
|
Sam, so stoked to hear that you're done with the TT and will now begin work on the SC. I cannot wait to purchase and install the final SC product on the X. Please keep us updated on the progress of the SC kit for the X.
|
TTx is finally done!!!! Those are beautiful images... /weep
(please ship asap):drool: |

Definitely looks like a tight fit! Good job again GTM :biggthumpup:
|
Good looking stuff Sam, cannot wait for that SC kit!
|
Full press release yes please :D
|
Just like to inform everyone that since our X Twin Turbo development is complete, we are starting on our supercharger kit for the X model. The X Supercharger kit will take supercharger the G37 to a completely different level. We are very excited, so stay tuned for some exciting development.
Sam |
This is awesome news! I cannot wait for the finished product. Money is currently being hidden from the wife, haha.
|
AHAHAH maybe you'll change your mind after I install my Stillen SC next week with tune.

Will do, All my parts arrived yesterday and I will be dropping my car off either tomorrow or Saturday.
|
Any updates on this?
|
SC kit is a must!! That kind of power with all the grip in the world! Would feel like driving on rails!!
|
On mine yea. Car pulls really good, 9 PSI getting tuned a week from this Saturday.
|
ANMVQ, you're running the stillen SC Kit right?
|
Yes I am. Their kit is really good. But can't that much for their customer service ;/.

Can you fill me in on the details please? Cost, installation, tune, fit? Shoot me a PM if you can. Thanks.
|
I'm still waiting, I have four months left in the Middle East to wait. Just want to compare and contrast systems. Knowledge is the key to power and in this case 500+whp worth of power.
|
|
My final numbers where 365WHP and 275 WTRQ. Super low dyno, The mustang down the road( Same shop) would have been 412 WHP and 300 WTRQ... Cost for all was 10k :)
|
Bumping this to see if any headway has been made with this
|
Good Bump, checking on the twin SC thread too!
|
Dead thread. Any experience with these? Why was Sam banned?
|
Mods. What about just deleting this thread all together?
|
Because then I won't have the answer? Looking to FI my XS coupe. Not a lot of information.
