Talking My Z is Gone! Getting a S/C installed !!

Yep, my Z will be FI by Friday. Eric in San Gabriel is installing it as we speak in 104 degree temps. Poor guy. Better him than me I guess. Can't wait to get on the Dyno Friday and get some numbers. I have a fully stock vehicle except for this mod. So will be interesting to match it up with numbers from guys that have exhaust and plenums...

Scuba,

Congrats on the install and the supercharger. Eric will do a good job.

I'm curious on the numbers as well to see if there is a difference on the kit or the motors.

You will like the install.

Nice! I should have skipped all the intermediates, like 3 sets of wheels before I found what I liked, intake, exh, etc and just went straight for the SC. would have spent about the same by now.

Hi scubadj,

You mentioned Eric is doing your install? What shop is Eric from? I'm just curious and want to keep some information for the future. I'm still debating on SC or TT but leaning towards TT.

Thanks,

Eric is a guy that lives in San Gabriel. He doesn't have a shop right now, but is looking. He's has been involved in the auto industry for a long long time. He was in many different field of auto engineering. He has already installed a system for another member and the member said it was excellent workmanship. I talked to him on the phone before letting him do it and this guy knowes his stuff. Not only that, but he told me all the little extras he does that makes it count. Things that most shops with tons of customers waiting for their cars would not do. That is the problem with most mass shops as they have little time to spend on the small details. So I took my car to Eric's house. Which is in a nice neighborhood and has a locked fence that would possibly keep any bad apples out. He's a little more expensive than most, but again, just after talking to him for a hour, I knew this is the guy that would BABY my Z.

I will also post after thoughts when I get the car back.

Nice to hear somebody support mechanics like us.... Most people think if we don't have an official shop, we don't know what the heck we are doing. I'll put my work up to a "pro" shop any day.

I'm just getting into Z's now. Hopefully I can carry my experience from Corvettes, Camaros, Firebirds, and Mustangs over. I'll be doing a SC install on a 350Z next week... Should be fun!
