I'm trying to find the topic, but wasn't there someone on here who already tried twin screw and the shop that they went to told them there was not possible way to put a twin screw on because of something... lol I don't know...

Okay just took me damn near a half hour to find this and I don't even think it is the one I am talking about but anyway, he is referring to the Vortech supercharger which may be getting installed on his car.

So I lied about it not working, but according to MINI: It will need a new hood! I plan on getting an new hood anyway so that would be cool with me!!!

They stopped using the Rotex a while back. There are conflicting opinions on why.... Some say reliability, others will say it was more of a cost issue. Regardless, HKS thought they could do it just as well on their own because they are using a proprietary centrifugal-style "blower" that is very similar to the Rotex. It has a planetary gearless drive system in a pretty compact size.

My question is: Will my HKS 2.5" exhaust be a bottle neck if I were to get somthing like this?? Below are some clips! :happydance:

Here is a 350z with an HKS charger: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFetQlD5IbI&NR=1

Don't think it will be a problem. The HKS GT S/C will not be a high boost kit, and S/C don't need a free flowing exhaust like a turbo does. A true dual 2.5" exhaust should be sufficient.

Let's not forget HKS spent the money here in the US to get the GT Supercharger for the 350Z CARB certified. No tickets, no referee stations, no changing your car back to stock to get a smog check done so you can get your registration renewal.

I car pool with a friend/coworker who has the GT Supercharger on his 350. It's awesome. He's not going to win a WHP shoot out but it's got lots of useable power under the curve and great response. He beats on it too and no probelms.

hop on over to the stillen thread it is almost impossible to put a twin screw or roots unit on our cars.

What kind of supercharger is the HKS.?

The 350Z kit was a relabeled Rotrex supercharger.

So if they were to do a supercharger kit it would have to be a twin??? Wouldnt that make it cost twice as much?? But also alot more power. Two chargers would sure put alot of stress on the belts and what not!

It's not necessary to have two chargers.. you could do one charger into an intercooler with two exits to the two throttle bodies..

no they can use one two would be sweet but they will only use one.

Two chargers would bring the cost up to TT cost most likely which would negate a HUGE incentive for the SC over the TT setup...

Yeah but have you seen the twin supercharged r35? MONEY

Oh not knocking the idea of twin rotrex units just saying it 1) isn't required to be two and 2) not likely to happen based on the cost to play...

If twins were available though, I'm sure someone would rock them.. I'd be interested to see the results personally...

Your right this is straight money. I would of hated to be the guy who has to tune this thing with twin turbos and twin chargers :ughdance: . I would like to see the Z get some twin chargers like this! might cost alot but you would get a setup that is fast and reliable! Superchargers don't give off as much heat as turbos right???
