RJ MFG Supercharger kit Feeler...

LENTZ · 01-31-2018, 02:21 PM

I am the odd one out I guess. I like the hood, looks aggressive. However, it would look cleaner if we could drop the cowl an inch lower to make it not as extruding. It would flow so much better if a little bit lower versus how tall it is in the design.

Much better than I was expecting.

Put me in the like column! Can you render that with some color applied to the car?

This is very different from anything that's out there at the moment. Considering the supercharger that this is going to be covering. I feel that this design is probably the only one that makes sense. I'm on board.

Now the only thing that needs to be delivered is that this kit isn't just a marketing spoof, that it can hold up to it's hype and promises of reliable power.

Whenever I click on this thread I think, "this would set my Z apart from the crowd"

Let's keep up the progress but within a decent time frame. No more overpromising and underdelivering, i get enough of that from work

Can you make the pictures bigger so that I can see them.

Juztin · 01-31-2018, 09:59 PM

That hood lucks MUCH better with that raised area. I'm an HR, but I could use a hood exactly like that to clear a GTR manifold with 6 additional injectors/fuel rail up top.

Dumb Q, but anybody know if 370 hood will drop onto a HR 350z? I originally sold my HR hood to a DE owner, and it bolted right on and lined up perfectly. If it's possible I will keep an eye on this hood and 99% probably run it to clear the GTR manifold.

For me to view them. I have to put them on a 25" screen.

They're just too big for my laptop.

2 Screens wide... I like it. Should make it my screen saver.

Korstix · 02-01-2018, 09:43 AM

What about a rendering on a stock body?

bullitt5897 · 02-01-2018, 05:36 PM

For those that don’t like the hood. You can always cut the hood. I and rjm have always said the hood would need a cowl. The supercharger sits 1.5” above the strut bar and runs as far forward as the serpentine belt and pulleys. So if you maintain that height you will see a hood cowl is absolutely necessary. If you want someone else to develop a hood I and rjm are more than happy to share the dimensions. It takes a lot to develop a hood like this. But we are happy to help the community find a hood option everyone will love.

Rusty · 02-01-2018, 06:26 PM

When you are sticking that far above the oem hood. The cowl hood is the only way the cover everything. Get over it people. It's how you style and blend the cowl into the rest of the hood.
