Thanks for the input. Considering I only average 22 or 23 now that sounds pretty good. I may have hit 25 once or twice on trips.

Sometimes I think its so ironic that people care about mpg in the forced induction section of a sportscar modification forum.

The short answer is that it will not be better, it will be worst, a lot worst. If you want better mileage get a prius.

Back to snuffing baby foxes and melting the icecaps please.

Yeah I really don't understand it either. MPG is the last thing on my mind when I'm buying/modding a sports car.

I don't think that some concern with fuel mileage is unwarranted; I doubt people are looking for it to improve but if it stayed the same as stock or maybe a bit less, that would be an additional bit of icing on the cake.

I wonder if the TT guys are experiencing better gas mileage?

RCZ: I thought we were going to see BOV's and boost controllers?!?!? I would really really like to see this! If it works I might buy a FX suv and do the same ;)

See, I can't tell if you are being condescending or not. I would assume you are since you made sure I knew the FX was an suv and there's a wink at the end. I know a lot gets lost on the internet though, so I'm gonna just assume you're not being a jackhole and you're just being clever.

Been thinking about it, its theoretically possible! Considering I'm running at less than half steam of what the unit can do, one could roughly estimate that I should see 9 psi of boost from 3500rpm to redline. Obviously there's no way of knowing without trying it. Also, only one boost controller would be involved and at least 15 bov's though, can't have enough BOV's.

It was done on a SC'd mustang before, its on the web somewhere if you look it up. The result was instant torque and a flat power curve.

man i really want to SC the FX but need to get this trans thing sorted out first.

Hahaha you crack me up with this BS! I am not out to get you RCZ and I am not going to keep repeating that!

Now, as for the FX, there is a guy here in Houston that has a turboed FX with a BBK Etc. I love the new look of the FX and I know its only a matter of time until they do away with the VQ35 and add the VQ37. As of now I know Protech makes a supercharger for the FX. I’m sure one of the SC makers with make one for the FX37 when it comes out. I currently have a turbocharged SUV but a Supercharged SUV would be nice too if it had a VQ37 in it! So am I being condescending...NO... And you are right it is hard to judge peoples demeanor only by the words and icons they choose to use in a post. And I think the FX37 paired with a supercharger could be a good contender for a Porsche Cayenne! The Cayenne has 500hp to the crank, and other companies are getting the automatic tranny beefed up soon so I think that the price of a supercharger with tranny upgrades would put me right in the golden zone vs. going turbo. I think there is an AWD version of the FX too! A supercharger on the FX would make it a blast to dive and if someone found a way to add BOV’s would make it even better ;)

FYI the FX 37 is already out in the UK. Now to get to the point i want a SC on my FX%)S. way better then SC on FX37.

And don't forget it is me that is out to get RCZ. the stillen nut swinger

haha, I just can't keep track of who hates me and who doesn't anymore, my apologies.

With regards to the FX, meh I don't really get that either. I wouldn't spend money making my truck faster. Whats the point lol? Its supposed to be the chill-out grocery getter. I'd rather just get a cayanne S or an X5 and call it a day.

Shumby, you sly fox you.

X5 boooo your tast in BMW's is as bad as your taste in SC's. The X6 would be the way to go.

The Cayanne S is 60-70k though. I love to mod all my rides and plus going to get groceries while hitting boost is a blast :happydance::driving: Not a huge BMW fan :( Maybe a Cayanne S if someone makes a turbo or what not for it but then I would be over budget! ALl my rides got boost!

Edit: would not suprise me if Stillen did somthing for the FX!

Ya and if it is as good as the SC for the G35 and now G37 we all know we need to stear well clear of it.

If you ever supercharger the new FX, those brakes need some serious beefing up after all the tests showing a huge amount of fade after a few panic stops (even after Infiniti's fix). Other than that, I rode in one and it felt like the chassis far outclassed the powertrain.

35 or 50?

Stoptech makes a bbk for the FX ;)

Honestly out of all the SUV's I prefer the X5. We used to have one a few years ago. The 4.4L and it was an amazing car. I would buy one in an instant. They do offer a X5 M JB, thats a twin turbo 4.8l V8. A little fiddling with the ecu and you are looking at 600hp.

Stop picking on these people! :hello: :stirthepot:

Stillen are you atleast workign on the issue of some of your kits and the pre detioation? Are you looking at tunes? hardware? any chance of an update?

detioation is not good. Sounds like people should buy a HKS AFK2 when they buy this kit so they can keep on the look out for knock!

I just re-read that....15 BOV's, wow thats allot of BOV's. Thats at least 3k in just BOV's! Where will you fit 15 BOV's???

I wish there was a way to get the A:F to display on the camp 2. factory sensors are wideband and the ECU reads it . So why can i not display it?

I'd like to meet the one that said detonation is good. LOL

they wont read it because HKS wants you to spend more money and buy the knock amp.
Frank

...........:stirthepot:

Detonation is good, and we should detonation N Korea right now.

$800 for a knock amp is absolutely outrageous. I can't even listen to music while I'm logging data!

I agree and thats why i will never own it lol
Frank

Who said engine det is normal?? I guess I didnt catch why this joke is going around.

...........:stirthepot:

Sam is stirring the pot?

Sadly, I'd rather talk about fast SUV's....

Sam isn't stirring anything. LOL then talk about fast SUVs

I want to put a super charger on my xterra not much gain though
Frank

Hahahaha Rob I dont want to be the one to answer this one!

There ya go! Nothing wrong with a man wanting to hit boost, no matter which one of his vehicles he decides to drives!

[QUOTE=JB-370z;823106]Hahahaha Rob I dont want to be the one to answer this one!


me either thats why I didn't answer and just stired the pot.

Actully RCZ buy you asking you were stiring the pot thats why i put it there lol
Frank

Why can't you? buy the nav tool and you are all set

I was curious because the gas mileage for the vvel is not very good to begin with. For an everyday driver if it is going to adversely affect the mileage I would scrap the idea because I have another car that is purely a weekend driver that I will spend the money on. Putting the SC on my infiniti was just one possibility for me.

If detonation is not normal and therefore should not not happen as some of you are promoting that belief, then why do all modern day engines have anti-knock sensors? The truth is, detonation can happen under certain conditions of loading in all engines and therefore it is normal to expect any engine to have detonation but not all the time of course. Just sayin'....:tiphat: Now, back to your bashing.

Detonation = new 4.5 stroker block. Its only $$$$$$$$.
stock stroker block 11.1 compression with bolts on's would make 375 rwhp easy.
No sc issues, no tranny issues. and i bet that it would sound great.
7 At + stroker, 4.08 gears 3200 stall conveter and a VB. That would be one fast Z.

Z

So how can a car detect knock and therefore adjust timing in order to prevent it? By detecting it in the first place. :icon23:

And than retard timing to PREVENT it cause it is UNwanted!
