Mark@Abbey m/s Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Exciting news just got off the phone from Gamma Motors that brought all the rights of GTM when they went out of business. We can now again supply the excellent GTM Stage 1 SC kit with air to air intercooler for better IAT control; Pricing I am waiting for but very excited as the GTM Stage 1 kit worked very very well and on the 370Z with Ecutek it will work even better. 350Z HR guys hold on we have another stand alone ECU in development which will be a lot cheaper than Syvecs ( not as good) but still a good upgrade with knock control and full traction control.

OllyB Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Good news, now do I want a smaller pulley for my kit????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy james Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 This is great news as it was such a shame GTM didn't harness such a fantastic product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodyboarder81 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 (edited) That's great news ..... Would have been better 6 months ago From all my reading the gtm kit is better than the stillen , shame it wasn't about when I went fi Edited November 2, 2015 by Bodyboarder81 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodyboarder81 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 It's not so much the cast manifold that bothers me , it's the position of the maf sensors with the stillen kit. I know Nic yours has the extra sensor put in and I'm hopefully having one installed . .... But this should have been sorted from stillen from the start .

nissanman312 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 i think that is the source of the heat soak tho mark do you know what sort of iat temps you get with the gtm kit ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OllyB Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 (edited) On my 350 I see an increase in inlet temps of about 6 or 7 degc when driving, based on odb values, dont know how accurate that is...

OllyB Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 When, just driving or when stationary. It will go up to 50ish when parked but soon comes down. I didn't see higher than 30degc on track at brands with 20 deg ish ambient outside... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodyboarder81 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I don't think our kits Nic will run hotter than the gtm when you are moving , it's when sat still that I think ours will become hotter quicker and take longer to cool down than the gtm air to air system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark@Abbey m/s Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 The Stillen with its water/air charge cooler will never control the IAT like a air to air intercooler. The issue is the charge cooler in the inlet manifold is too small. We have been involved with charge coolers a lot lately with our heavy involvement with the GT86 and SC units. With the upgraded charge cooler rad we see a rise in coolant temp due to the depth of the radiators all wanting air to cool them. I can stitch together some data from a pair of 370's one running Stage 1 GTM another running Stillen but both cars running EcuTek to show the difference in IAT control.

Thanks I be interested to see that Mine was hitting 70 degree in the dyno with the stillen rad. It still hits high 50s on very hard throttle it just recovers so much quicker with the bigger rad But as mark says I've seen a rise in engine temps now because of the air flow the bigger rad consumes More air flow needed Edited November 3, 2015 by nissanman312 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodyboarder81 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Maybe converting the stillen to air to air is the way to go then ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richf Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I see IAT's of 50+ ie 30 degrees above ambient on my n/a 370! Would be interested in finding out how much a drive in-drive out price would compare to the Stillen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark@Abbey m/s Posted November 3, 2015 Author Share Posted November 3, 2015 NA always shows hot IAT's when sat still as the exhaust gas rises and heat soaks the AFM which houses the IAT. Going to air/air would be the way forward but expensive. Will sort a price out for GTM conversion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodyboarder81 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Mark - if going to air to air on the stillen kit would you then put the maf / intake temp sensors post charger and would the standard maf be ok / cope with this ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we have what we have now mate it is what it is As long as your mapped accordingly then no harm done just means you can't push the car as hard I suppose. to extract all the power from the kit Edited November 3, 2015 by nissanman312 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
