Well I finally got my car back from the shop with the HKS Supercharger installed. All I can say is WOW. I have a 2003 Z, i am very pleased with the way it performs. I also had the complete nismo body kit and intercooler sprayer put on also. Dyno numbers were 369.9 RWHP, 371 torque. I have a vid of the dyno going to try and get it up soon. A/F ratio is great. Before the install of the supercharger I already had the nismo cams and nismo catback exhaust. These 2 mods evidentally dont conflict with the HKS unit. Ill try and get the vid up today
Nice! What psi did you dyno at?

How much did it cost in terms of labor? Additionally, did you get your ECU flashed to help with tuning.

Thumbs up

Saw it for myself last night.. you have a great ride there. I was the guy with the black G35. Before seeing your car I was skeptical about the HKS kit but now I've reconsidering.

Let me know the next time you guys are going to head over this way.

Yeah, HKS is an awesome company. Most people don't realize that they make a lot of stuff very conservative. They are not all for crazy power! (unless its their car). When they offer stuff to the public a lot is reliability and quality. Although I hate superchargers, HKS made a very nice kit. The only thing i hate is that damn little intercooler. Looks like the Z has a broken tooth or something (when no grill is present). Cant wait to see pics!

Default Can a grill fit over the inter-cooler??

??? I'm just wondering because I may want to go this route. I get my HKS exhaust installed Monday along with a JWT pop-charger.

$750 for the install? DAMN!

No pully yet ChromiumBlue but I plan on having one milled by AAM soon.

NINJA-Z your 03 must be a 6 speed? I could only get 290 out of my auto with just the SC and nismo Exhaust. how much HP does the cams add?

Is it true HKS super charger can't work with other mods? I heard the car has to be stock.

Also, is HKS loud?

Wow. Those are the best numbers I've seen from the HKS unit.
