Superchargers for the 370Z?

Crash · 02-07-2009, 07:34 AM

I saw a root-style supercharger kit for the G37 on here somewhere. I think Shumby posted the pic. It's still dual throttle bodies, but it replaces the manifold (like any good root-style charger does). I'm pretty positive it'd fit under the 370z hood.

It's not twin charger though, but I'd imagine it's going to be good for a LOT of boost.

Centrifugal superchargers are junk... Don't bother with them. They're less efficient than the root-style for comparable boost. Newer root-style blowers don't even sacrifice gas mileage like the old ones and the centrifugal ones. (MOSTLY the centrifugal.)

Although, you can get a BIG sea-shell to make massive amounts of power, unless you're drag racing (which I doubt you are since you picked a Z) it's not worth it.
