What do the gauges in the Nav Compartment tell you, and are they necessary?

What is the red thing in the glovebox?

Do all SC have that WHINE noise?

Pardon the obviously stupid questions.

Victor, can you host the video he mentioned?

I know one was a boost gauge, and the other is fuel pressure. You'd want these gauges installed, and perhaps an EGT (exhaust temperature) gauge as well. Yes, the whine is typical of an SC; some are louder than others.

The red box in the glovebox is by Aeromotive . . . part of the fuel system, but I don't recall exactly what it was. I'll ask when one of the reps gets online again.

13.3's ?

Just out of curiosity, how is it that the Gretty TT prototype runs 12.9 ET's with 334whp, while the Procharger supposedly pumps out 369whp and runs a 13.3 ?

We would be more than happy to help you out at Altered Atmosphere Motorsports - where we are an ATI Procharger Distributor and installation facility. We are located in Maryland and currently have a project 350Z we will be testing the Procharger kit on, and will be developing a turbo kit with this fall. We can also help you reprogram your ECU on our in-house dynometer. This includes eliminating the speed cut, rasing the rev limiter, and adjusting your fuel and ignition curves (great for forced induction applications).
Hi, I'm a very close friend of YoungJin. (The guy with Black Integra Type-R Turbo) I heard about you and your awesome VR-4 many times. I've been in NOVA area about a week during May9-17th but never got a chance to visit your shop I also heard that you are building a turbo kit and have a 350Z project car. Anyway, I will be in NOVA area again around July 20th, and I hope I can see you and your shop at that time with YJ.

Works for me. That whine is loud though, louder than most other aftermarket s/c that I have heard. It might just be the video though.

Yep.. probably just the video. It's really rather quiet in person compared to some I've heard.

What are you using to play it?

Windows Media Player 9 should do the trick, or even Winamp3. If that doesn't work, let me know and I'll try to compress it in DivX format or something.

NO KIDDING!! 13.3's????

369 WHP??? No way that car would only be running 13.3's if it really had 369 whp. Heck if I had a perfect start and he had a bad start, he would barely beat me the the finish and my Z is stock! Please, tell us something is wrong.

I noticed on one of the pics you have of the Z with the procharger that it has gauges located where the stock DVD player usually goes. What are those gauges? I asssume they are related to the SC?

I just asked that same question in a post about 4-5 up. He said one is a boost gauge and one is fuel pressure and one is possibly exhaust temperature.

BTW, that space is for the stock Navigation system, not the stock DVD player. It doesn't come with a stock DVD player. Sorry if this is picky. You may already know that and it was just a typo.

Just to clarify, I meant that it would be nice to have the two gauges (fuel pressure and boost) and additionally an EGT gauge installed; there was no EGT gauge installed on Randy's car that I could see.

When I PM'ed 2K350Z on another issue, he also said "I believe they were running 4.5psi in the Z today" thus this explains the slower times at the track. The 369hp was achieved at 7psi.

how hot was it? how humid was it? Did the stock tires have a hard time keeping traction? these questions could help shed some light on things

Do you know what kid of power the procharger puts out at 4.5psi? I don't! All I have seen is a dyno for 7psi at 369hp. Do not assume it is putting out that hp at 4.5psi.

13.3's is a pitiful time. the 4.5psi is the only half-way decent explanation for it. but still who the hell wants to spend 6grand on a kit and run low 13's. if that's all i wanted i would have kept my RSX.

looks like i'll be buying the greddy kit and throwing in new rods and pistons. i still can't believe that everytime they release a supercharger kit for an import they charge out the *** compared to what they do for their other cars.

It should put in the range of 315-330 to the wheels at 4.5 psi. Thats my math and I am no expert on sc's but it can't be to far off. A 13.3 is a good time from the pictures he has 19's on his car whith street tires. The greddy car had drag radials that good for a big drop in 60 ft.

I'll have some of what you're smoking

I assume you mean 315-330... and if so, fine. However, slicks don't usually give 4/10th of a second.. and 19's don't do much of anything to ETs, more than perhaps 1/10th.

Either way, 13.3 sucks >_< I need to see ET's at 7psi... and they better be mid-to-low 12's.
