Man...you're killing me! So close to pulling the trigger, but all the extra supporting mods is pushing me over my limit right now.

Tell us what you're getting and how much it is. I did most of my shopping on black Friday, but have links to all the places I got stuff from and what I paid.

$5650 if $100 cheaper than what I paid for my kit and that WAS a black Friday deal. You should get it! :)

I’ll need to get injectors and research the fuel system I need. That’s confusing me the most. I’m going to have Seb tune it since he did my current tune. I’m not looking to go balls out in power since I have the 7AT. Just want a reliable driver that I can track once in a while.

Topgunz can get you injector and PnP adapters.

Charles at CJM is the best to talk to. He can list everything you need. You're probably looking at the S1.E Fuel System. Pump. Pump Wiring Kit. I think you can get away without the pump hat, not sure. I went a little overboard on my setup so can't just tell you what I got.

If you're gonna track, you'll need an oil cooler. I just went with the Z1 oil pan spacer for now.

Well I got everything in and the car runs so that's good news. I took it around the block and made it back to my garage which is also good.

Something I noticed when I brought it back in was that the supercharger was ticking. I didn't notice anything vibrating off anything metallic and I also checked the supercharger oil level.

Make another video twisting the SC side belt.

Here is the link with the sound: https://imgur.com/a/gfU1Ijx

At idle the SC will rattle. It is simply the backlash in the drive gears as the engine is constantly changing RPM during idle (it is not an electric motor, it changes RPM as each cylinder fires). Once the SC has a load on it it will be quiet.

Many thanks to everyone for answering all of my questions. It helped immensely!

Here is a link to the pictures I took during the installation.

Congratulations!

I was having flash backs looking at your pictures. Not a simple job but VERY rewarding!!!

Have fun and be safe!

I haven't seen any, but a 1/4 time from any Z with similar HP would be the same. 500 HP = 500 HP, regardless of how, or even where in the rev range, it's made. The tires couldn't care less where or how the power is made.

Some people around here will tell you a positive displacement supercharger like the one from RJM will be faster, even if the HP is the same because it has better low-end torque. Complete nonsense. Any 500 HP car has MORE than enough power to break traction from a dig. The key is modulating the power and having more of it down low, in 1st gear, just makes that task more difficult! Once you get to that 6000-7500 RPM range, where all of the racing is done, it's all the same. 500 = 500.

Does anybody have any 1/4 times non pump gas then? I only see one guy from Guam running 12.7s. I would be pretty bummed to spend $7-$8k to supercharge my Z and be stuck doing high 12s only. If i seen people cracking low and mid 11s I would of bought this along time ago. I've been waiting for people to post there time slips with this kit but I haven't really found any yet..

I dont think you understood my answer, but I hope you find what you're looking for. Be sure to post some links if you find it. :driving:

Is this the guy you are talking about? He’s *not* running this kit, and his car is not tuned. A stillen 370z with their tune sometimes makes no more than a full bolt-on 370z.

Fast Intentions went 12.4 then 11.4 with the same car. Like I said it’s all in the launch and controlling the power. They did this on only 8 lbs of boost on their turbo kit.

Here's Evan's running an 11.6. If I'm not mistaken, that was on 12 psi.
