If everything works out as planned sounds like a win win.

Thank you, finally someone understands. especially for a new car, the owner of the test car will be very lucky.

as stated before, the owner will be taken care of if any issues araise with the kit or without.

GarageGT you have to remember that most of the guys who want to go TT are cheap bastards and would like anything they can get for free.....

I am not a noob on how to setup a car...I have had an IMSA and SCCA Pro racing license for a long time now.....This is why I am so "Car Crazy"

All the top speed cars that run at my track use 19 and 20".....mostly 20"..Ford GT, Lambo,some of the Vipers,and even a Koenigsegg CCGT which runs on 21".

But thanks for the info.


BTW.....I did not say you were criticizing anyone.....I just said that it gets painful when another shop does it....

And like I said before...the more shops the better for us. "Competition is a breading ground for lower prices."

So I wish you luck with your plans.
I figured you were into roadrace, we don't like drag neither.

please click on the left tab to see specs, they are running 330/40/18 all around, I think this is the ultimate setup. You might want to consider some wide 18s

These guys are just trying to create a kit for us G drivers, make a good reliable kit with power I'm hoping, make a customer happy and make them happy when they make money, durrrr.....

Even tho I'm a loyal GTM customer

GL to you Cenk and the rest of the GarageGT crew on finding someone who will test fit it, if I had a G37 I probably might do it myself if i wasnt with gtm, im not worried about free or pay sh*t, unlike alot of you whiners, i have money eh
Thanks for understanding. it had been tough to be here so far..

I wish we had the luxury to give this kit out for free, but at this time all we can offer is semi-sponsorship which is free labor/fabbing/tuning, and pass the cost on parts, also lifetime warranty.

I'd rather have this discussion leading to technical specs etc rather than a poll kind of thing. Decision is made, and we will not change our mind.



regards,

EMS will come with plug & play jumper harness, so it will be easy to install without cutting into factory harness. Cruise control with not work since we are not using drive by wire throttle body. Pedal conversion should also be fairly easy.

Tuning will be %99 accurate but it will need fine tune as all motors are different, our tuner, Mitch Pederson experienced it many times even on factory crate engines.

For instance, JWT kit installed on a Z here, running 11.9:1 under fullthrottle, customer thinking of getting some bigger injectors..

Now THAT is standing behind your work. My only concern is this. You guys have been around since 02, but I've looked at your project cars on your website, and 42R supras and 35R wrx/evos are not groundbreaking projects.

Do you guys have any other customer cars that we can see? I do my research before jumping anything like this, and I'm sure others would like to see your guy's work too. Modding is 95% research and 5% action, at least for me.

Sorry for the O.T. GarageGT, and good luck with your kit development.

This is the recent project we finished, a custom v-mount intercooler kit for the 04+ STi.

I trust in the fabrication quality,
Install and tune is also solid,
The new turbo kit project should be fairly smooth for us.
