Superchargers for the 370Z?

Red370 · 07-27-2009, 01:22 PM

the company that makes that kit is called ORC, they had one for the G35, supposedly good for 456whp, w the VQ37, 500whp seems reasonable.

I have a concern and would love to get some of your opinions.... GTM and Stillen offer FI kits for the 350 that offer "mild" gains in the namesake of being "safe" GTM, for $8,000 offers 50 hp and 60 ft lbs of torque. I think Stillen stage one is about the same. Am I the only one that thinks this is REALLY steep for those gains.

In my opinion if Stillen is to come out with a FI Supercharger kit, the "safe" gains would have to be at least 75 whp and over 75 ft lbs of torque. And the price should be under $7500 all done....everything needed for a proper install and tune. I mean worst case scenario! Guys at Stillen can you comment on this logic? Anything with less gains or greater price would cause me any MANY others I know to be happy with our cars power or wait and buy our next car with more power from the factory. Maybe this is just a rant....thoughts???

I can't comment.. but I can say that I think you'll be happy..

But keep in mind.. we sold ALMOST NO stage 1 supercharger kits. That was a non-intercooled kit, and was purely for price. We didn't even offer them for later flavors of the VQ35.

We'll have more details soon.. and the goal is all of the additional benefits.. CARB approval.. engine warranty.. bolt-on reliability.. all the good stuff.

Hmmm...so at least +75 hp and 75 ft.lbs. of torque, huh? Can't wait for more info. CARB legality and engine warranty is definitely a plus!

lol.. soon as in as soon as they let me open my big fat mouth.

At least stillen is actually making a supercharger for the 370z, but any info would be nice, at least tell us what type of supercharger it is?
