i have a g35 coupe non-rev up, and i was reading about the hks supercharger complete kit.
im curious, i dont really want that much power, im just happy with 300whp and 300 torque, if i dont run it on that much boost, how long will my engine last before rebuild???

Hexxum001 May 24, 2008 02:04 PM

As long as you keep up on the maintenance of the vehicle, there is no reason why you would have to rebuild it. 300whp/tq is well within what this engine can safely handle.

biggz786786 May 24, 2008 02:10 PM

really? ok thats great to know, good thing that im learning to become a mechanic, in fact im on my second year! :D

im happy to hear this, i have lots of friends with force induction, infact on of them has a tiburone running 10psi on stock internals, and hasnt even rebuild and its been over a year

Haterz like u, only make the game sweeter. The limits of the HKS kit, haven't even been reached yet. The HKS blower is more efficient and quieter than the Vortech (haha!:thewave:). Upgrade potential on the HKS is there, especially with GTM making custom pulleys and doing their homework on how to make more power than what is out of the box.

There's nothing special about the Vortech kit and the recent qc issues and recall doesn't make it more appealing. Have fun with your Vortech when the bearings fail and I'm sure ur in really really good hands with RA:rolleyes:

If GTM is making their own pulley's and figuring out how to in house pull more power out of the HKS supercharger, then big thumbs up to them, and I have wholely underestimated the kit. However, until we see results I will stick with my original conclusions.

The JWT kits is superior to any SC setup, so I don't know what your problem is. My only problem with the HKS kit is that unlike the vortech kit, you have no way to up the boost on these blowers besides adding meth injection.

Have you guys gotten your cars back with this SC installed or have charts to share? I'm very anxious to see what this thing is really capable of.

You have absolutely no idea how much work and success GTM has had with the kit (testing pulleys, flow rates, housing, etc.), so it's best u shut your mouth and patiently wait for the results, instead of coming up with your own uninformed conclusions and continuing to smear GTM on the forums.

You also apparently know nothing about the kit (It is very possible to "up the boost" on the HKS blower" and had been done sucessfuly already) and what has been done with in Japan, or at GTM. The out of the box HKS SC kit puts out ~6 psi. Marble's setup is pushing ~10 psi, and will likely be pushing more when he build his mote. So, how do you think the boost was "upped"? I can guarantee you that it was accomplished with GTM know how, hard work, and custom pulleys/machine work, and not RA voodoo magic:rolleyes:

Word is there will be a release thread by GTM that will show dynos, upgrade options, etc, after their testing is complete. Patience is a virtue. But Sam did reveal this so far:

we have one more car that we are implementing meth inj with sc, and that will conclude our testing.

Marble was in our shop and he tested his car, I will let him share is impression .

stay tuned ,full write-up this week

But why are you even paying attention, you seem to be happy with your Vortech and a so called shop that has been banned from these forums?

After all the smearing you have done to GTM/Forged lately on these boards, with Mods noticing and warning you, I think it's best you "bow out" for awhile and let things blow over.

I have not started talking crap about GTM in this thread, so if you want me to continue to act like an a$$ to me. You are smacked around even worse than I am in the FI forums so chill out fanboy. You added nothing to answer what I am anxious to see.

Did I say anything about RA or GTM? STFU fanboy. I don't think I've ever raved about RA on any thread. Chill the hell out.

I am, but I like to learn about everything that is out. RA was banned for no reason whatso ever. Ahero even was demoted for supporting RA. John the motorsports moderator also lost his position for supporting RA. There were a number of other mods who stuck up for RA and Godzilla gave no reason for banning Scott. He just told them if they want to keep their jobs they will drop it. I never did bring up RA though. You seem to be touching thinking I work or speak for Scott, which I don't. I have NEVER EVER to my recollection raived about RA. I didn't even put up a thread anouncing that I went FI.

If I was warned by a mod I should have been PMed. This however is none of your business so shut your fcking mouth! You added no answer to my last post here, which was supportive of GTM and this SC. You are the one who is making this a big deal. I have never brought Scott into any of this nor do I speak for him. I have never pimped out RA or raved about their work.

p.s. you have now destroyed your own thread, since I doubt it will ever get back on topic.

The End

Wow, I have nothing more to say to you Lawd'yu. You can swear and namecall and talk trash about companies one day and try to hide the next, but I'm fairly sure, in the end, you mouth will catch up with you.

So you can say all of this one day, then hide behind it the next? Oh, yea you'll make a great lawyer:rolleyes: If you talk trash about two of the most reputable shops in the country and base your comments on "hearsay" on my350z and here, and are just smearing like a troll, don't expect to not get flamed for doing so.

Scott was fukked over more than anyone by VRT. Nobody has ever been unhappy with Scott or Relentless. Everything you see on the forums about him are nothing more that stupid FI section idiots and Sam and Sharif, pissed off because Scott is telling customers they don't need some of the crap that GTM and Forged push on their customers. A prime example is the whole fuel return system debate on my350z which Scott claimed to be unnecessary and everybody including GTM and Forged harassed him for. Low and behold about a month back GTM orders 10ish of the same split second boxes that Scott said negated the need for a fuel return system lol.

And the reason I can't get the "quote" right, is becuase your trash talking got that thread closed.


Also, Funny how your signature just had "Relentless Autosports" right in the front, but just recently was taken off...hmmmmm.:rolleyes::orly:

Sounds like you have a bone to pick, or a mental problem. Either way, kindly move along.

Just for the record, this warning by failsafe in the thread that was locked was directed at you. Unless you wanna find yourself banned, you should really take his warning seriously. ;)

2) Stop pimping for RA. He was banned from this site for a reason. If you and/or Scott have an issue with then PM/email Kyle.


biggz786786 May 24, 2008 09:43 PM

the reason why im going with vortech is because i live in bc canada, nobody here is an authorized dealer/installer for the hks gt supercharger so that pisses me off, and im not gonna drive all the way to calgary just to get it installed. plus vortech announced its issue about the ball bearing and fixed it, also gave an extra 5 year warrenty incase there is any awkward noises.
and im not going crazy on the hp and tq. i just want 370whp and 340/50 wtq.
but is that possible with vortech?????

jonnylaw May 24, 2008 10:17 PM

^^yes, with the proper upgrades--there are many vortech threads for you to search through. let's try to keep this thread on topic.

Pics of Marble's car posted on my350z (hope he doesn't mind me posting them:) ):

i cant imagine how much "custom" pulleys cost from GTM. Only time will tell if the HKS lives up to all this fanboy JDM hype.

200 bucs :) I'm going hks, because I like the fact that its carb legal, i like how it looks, i really love how it sounds, and i personally like hks, but if it wasn't for the carb legal i would of went jwt tt :icon17: Test drove my car already at gtm, fell in love with it the minute i put my feet on the pedal, too bad i cant take it home yet :p I can't talk about vortech but its most definitely a better system then procharger

Both you "laws" are trouble makers :p

ha!, except I am a GTM customer and supporter, and I don't blindly hate and smear on companies and products I kno nothing about.:biggthumpup:

G37Rider92649 Jun 7, 2008 02:39 AM

Update guys, just got off the phone with Sam today, said my car should be ready for pick up tomorrow! Wooooo! The thing is he couldn't print me a dyno-sheet in time because he was on the way to fly out of state to go tune cars so he'll print me the dyno-sheet when hes back. But off the top of his head he believed it was 380whp 336tq or 346tq cant remember, so im pretty happy compared to my 348whp 329tq from the Procharger, with just an instant SC switch and upping the pulley, plus the car drives x5 better, test drove it my self few weeks ago and ill let you guys know how the ride is when i get it back. :)
