Default HKS Stuff for 350Z???

I suppose this is mainly aimed at the dealers. Do you know anything about all the new stuff HKS is planning on launching for the 350Z? Especially the supercharger.

I'd love to know if there's an actual release date for the new BOV......

An actual date, not "4-6 weeks"......

Apparently there making an ST, a TT, a SC, and various other mods for NA tuning. Wether or not it gets released anywhere else other than Japan, we will have to wait and see. By the way, i'm not saying that any of this is certain, it's purely speculation from the road and track review.

The new BOV will be on the shelf by early next month. No plans for TT or single T in the USA....its not going to happen.

The new SC setup will be relaunched shortly...new and improved.

I talked to a company about a rotrex supercharger around 3-4 years ago and they told me very bad things about them. They had to quit selling them because they superchargers were falling apart nonstop. So thats probably why HKS also quit selling them. Those things are junk.

Sharif, I know it's unlikely, but would you happen to know if the "NEW" SC will be CARB exempt?

Why would you waste your time waiting for a HKS SC when so many other viable options are around?

Jeez! Everyone tells me the same thing. I'm looking at both the Vortech and the HKS, but am waiting to see what the specs are for the 'new and improved' HKS unit. I like HKS, i think they make some quality stuff.

From what ive seen you'll get an hks kit that will end up costing you 20-30% more, and put out 20-30% less power than a vortech kit.

HKS is quality but it seems their "kits" are very conservative, and way overpriced.
