GTM Performance Engineering 370Z SUPERCHARGER KIT PRESS RELEASE

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------$4995

We are pleased to announce the GTM supercharger system for the 370Z. Our GTM supercharger system will be utilizing the Rotrex C38 supercharger, The Key to the Rotrex supercharger is unique compactness, efficiency, low noise and reliability and its state of the art traction drive technology.

Great speeds and low noise are just some of the advantages of traction drives over traditional gear transmissions. Traction drives transmit power through friction forces between its rolling elements.

The Rotrex traction drive uses an elastic annulus with a small pre-span to secure contact between the roller planets and the sun shaft with a reasonable force. The patented "ramp effect" increases efficiency and reliability in the transmission by regulating the torque transfer capability on demand through self-adjusting planet geometry.

To enhance performance, the Rotrex traction drive uses a special traction fluid. These fluids are a new family of synthetic hydrocarbon oils and greases offering a series of unique performance advantages. Developed specially for its use in Rotrex superchargers, the SX100 momentarily increases viscosity under high surface pressure, enhancing the traction drive performance by securing the optimum friction between rolling elements while cooling and protecting the system.

This traction drive combined with the latest technology in centrifugal compression, characterized by high adiabatic efficiency and low noise, gives Rotrex superchargers an exceptional competitive edge over any other forced induction solution.

The GTM Supercharger kit will Have four different Rotrex compressors to chose from: C38-61 Trim,C38-71 trim, C38-81 trim,C38-91. Combined with our custom compressor housing we will offer three different stages .

Stage zero up to 450 HP (carb approval pending)
Stage one up to 500 HP
Stage two up to 525 HP
Stage three up to 550 HP

All of our Supercharger kits are available in two forms. The tuner kit form, so the professional and the end user have the flexibility of choosing what ever fuel and engine management they may desire and feel comfortable using. The second option being a complete kit including fuel and engine management solutions. With that being said, GTM will also offer an extensive range of fuel system and engine management modules to go with our Supercharger kits.

Below is a description of all the components of the kit :

-Rotrex C38 supercharger

Some Key points about the GTM supercharger kit

After literally installing and tuning every supercharger kit available for the VQ platform and seeing their short comings, we got the inspiration to develop a kit superior to all others. Problems with the other kits that we wanted to address with our own include: not supplying a descent amount of power, belt breakage and slippage, obnoxious gear lash noises, limited power expansion and lack of the OEM look. Some of the key things we did to achieve our goal are:

SUPERCHARGER NOISE : We chose the Rotrex unit, a very QUIET supercharger compared to anything else on the market .

SUPERCHARGER BRACKETS : Our supercharger bracket is 3 dimensional made out of of thick billet aluminum to prevent any flexing, we also mounted the supercharger unit as close as possible to the engine to limit the amount of flex possible, as well as keep the belt length down between pulleys.

BELT AND TENSIONER DESIGN : We have over 80% belt wrap on our supercharger's pulley and with utilizing the factory automatic belt tensioner over or under tightening is simply not possible.

POWER EXPANSION : Changing the pulley on the super charger is less then 20 mints job

AESTHETICS : The GTM Supercharger kit maintain the clean oem look

ENGINE MANAGEMENT: With using the GTM flash we are to able to maintain the OEM drive ability so the car will run like stock, only with a lot more power .

POWER DELIVERY : The GTM supercharger is best bang for the Buck out of the box

Maintains stock appearance, ive never heard of a Rotex supercharger...wondering if any of you guy have any feedback on a system like this. $4995 is very inexpensive for over 120rwhp...heres a lil feedback from another user as for drivability and such...sorry if im boring any of you guys...

GTM Supercharger-My Test Drive Impressions

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I thought i would start a thread to document my impression and build for those interested in this kit..first off i'd like to state that im not a GTM or Stillen fanboy..i've never purchased any products from either vendor.

On saturday i was invited to drive Sam's supercharged 370...for some reason i expected the car to be at least a little "rougher" or have some hiccups as compared to a bone stock 370..but that was not the case...

It started up just the same as my stock Z and idles exactly the same as my Z...when i got on the throttle the increase in power was immediately felt..from a dead stop you can feel the car pulling even at low rpm all the way up to redline..it feels like the car doesn't want to stop pulling!..

It feels different from a turbo car..the power feels VERY linear to me as opposed to waiting for boost to kick in...also i found it very interesting that at higher rpm (5k n above) the car actually felt SMOOTHER than my stock Z...i wasnt expecting this at all..

While i was hammering on it i tried to find something about the setup that i didnt like...i couldn't find anything..I'm seriously impressed.

do you have to run withought a front bumper??????:confused: :D

fat jack will still kik ya butt:aetsch:
Lol i think luckily the front bumper can still be put back on if desired :aetsch:

And im coming for Jack, ive still got spray sittin in the garage thanks to Chris :D:D:D
 
AA uses these units in their BMW M3 superchargers, but I am not speaking from personal experience. You may want to check them out on www.activeautowerke.com
 
Lol I'm feelin the love :) just an eddies just scared the lil black Z is just eat some 10's!! (just kiddin guys I'm not a moron) ;) thanks for the link, I was just seeing if these guys have heard of them.

And mby the way...I traded my 4-wheeler for my dads built 95 ram 1500 4x4 club cab (jacked up) so I'm still kinda cool right?

I pulled up that article about the SC but it reads different than what you copied???:confused: :dontknow:

the Rotex looks like a "ricer" exclusive charger, cool deign, they claim 20+ psi reliably. id go for it
 
i was thinking the same thing Ironleg, Khalua drink in the cupholder...lol Cody know we have to bust his balls. i bet he has The Fast and Furios in his DVD player right now.
 
There is a guy that built a 1970 Nova with twin Rotrex c38-81s on a 402LS2 it was in a old Super Chevy article but I can't find a link. It made 1100 horsepower so not to shabby. From everything I've seen they are pretty awesome in a very small package. The downside being they were mainly for smaller european cars originally so the few housing designs they have don't flow enough CFM for bigger cube V8s, and I have not seen many kits. I believe they make a kit for 05-08 mustangs now. They are supposedly superior in effienciency to centrifugals in every way. Now if they would just make a kit for a SRT-10, it might be hard make a bracket for 6 of them tho.
