supercharger looks like procharger.
 

This new supercharger system from gtm looks amazing. But I was just wondering, isn't that technically called a procharger or is procharger a specific brand name for a type of supercharger? I was under the impression a procharger was more like that of a belt fed turbo. I know that a standard supercharger mounts on top of the engine. But I believe a procharger mounts on the side like a turbo. Sorry if I'm wrong. I couldn't really find any major differences.

Procharger is a brand name. The type of supercharger you are talking about is a centrifugal supercharger. The ones that mount to the top of the motor (generally replace or bolt onto the intake manifold) are either roots type or twin screw.

Procharger is a brand name for a self contained or centrifugal supercharger. Those are the ones that look like turbos used in the gtm kit. The "standard supercharger" you mentioned is a roots type supercharger like the ones you see on top fuel cars. Hope this helps.

Edit: Someone beat me to it

Ya I was just reading that. I wish I had found that before I made the post. I'm wanting to buy a nismo 370z and get about 500rwhp out of it without putting to much wear & tear on the engine. At first I was looking at the GTM TT kit but as I was reading about the specific superchargers I've come to be impressed that it would be much safer to use a centrifugal supercharger instead of TT kit. Does anyone have any good recommendations for one or have I pretty much hit the jackpot with this new one from GTM? Whether or not I go with the TT kit or SC kit would it still be a good idea to invest in some forged piston heads, rods, and sleeve the engine?

Probably need a performance clutch, new brake calipers, pads and...anything else?

Kinda off topic but i would defently go supercharged if it was a root style or twin screw style supercharger. The power is the same however the sound of a root/twin screw supercharger is amazing. But since the kits arent those type im gonna have to go with twin turbo..lol. BOV also sound nice.

That's how I pick my power adders. By sound.

awesome response haha

Hopefully not to add any more confusion, but the GTM SC is not a centrifugal. It is a rotrex. I believe the Stillen kit is going to use a centrifugal, though (Vortech).

You are adding confusion! Rotrex's superchargers are a type of centrifugal supercharger.

Vortech, Rotrex, Paxton, Procharger all make centrifugal superchargers.

First post fail:tup:

Lol^^

To do that means top mounted supercharger, with a replacement hood or large cowl to clear the blower.. which most are unwilling to do..

Especially since the engine sits higher in a 370Z/G37 than it does the older 350Z/G35's..

Ok sweet I was starting to get worried. That helps a whole lot. Thanks man.
