Where's the VQ35HR SC kit?
If a supercharger kit is developed for the HR engine, it will most likely cost the same as a twin turbo kit.
So why wait when a great alternative is already available?

Definitely new to F/I (obviously), but from what I've heard, internals such as...everything in the engine block needs to be rebuilt, strengthened, or replaced, (all synonyms of the word "fortified") not to mention an intercooler and whatever. I was assuming people did this instead of running ridiculously high PSI's and running the risk of blowing the engine...but what do I know, I have an NA car...
I've been looking around for info on possible single turbo kits in the future also. Someone needs to make one. The 350 is now getting into the price range where spending 8k+ for forced induction is absurd unless you plan to build the block or something in the future. When you can get HR z's with low mileage for 20k or less, there should be a cheaper option out there from someone eventually. If not, I will probably end up piecing my own kit together assuming i do get a z which seems likely at the moment.
The less the initial capital investment, the more that can be spent on aftermarket performance modifications within the same budget. Or do you mean now that "financially challenged" individuals can purchase a Z, the aftermarket suppliers should respond to this market and create cheaper kits? LOL.

To me, TT on an HR is a no brainer. Now that flashes are available, it suddenly became more more affordable to TT the HR!
And 450-500whp without needing to build the motor, sounds good to me.

Just want to know why it's better.. I'm not implying that you shouldn't get it. The only turbo kit I know is the Greedy so that's why I'm asking. I want to FI my HR in the future, I was looking into supercharger but many people are saying it's gonna be the same price as TT so... I'm trying to research.

Well for one GTM uses Garrett turbo's which are BB and watercooled...Greddy is not. If you plan on doing AutoX or road race events...go with the Garrett.....if not...both will be a good pick
Dont SC...TT is far better for the VQ platform
those are different superchargerd kits from ORC, Novidem GTS430(made in Switzerland) , blitz

Vortech has manufactured extremely limited numbers of the VQ35HR supercharger kit (http://www.400zfrenzy.com/forum/showthread.php?p=64081) ; HKS has been dragging out the release of the 35th specs, and occasionally letting HR application rumors slip (http://hksusa.com/info/?id=3408); does anyone have any info on an HR supercharger kit? Even a single turbo kit would be nice...I just can't justify an $8,000+ mod for a TT kit, not to mention the internals that need to be fortified, costing an extra I-don't-want-to-know-how-much.
Any word on FI kits for the HR, excluding the ever-present TT kits?

You can only pick two of the three.

So as the price of the z goes down you think the aftermarket parts prices should stay the same or go up???
that's ridiculous. People spending 17k on a car are going to be weary of spending 10k on a turbo setup.

Nothing! If u would search MF u would see that u dont need to build a HR unless u want high HP. At 8psi they are making incredible numbers. Listen here Buttercup please stop wastingour time in the FI section and fcking search before u post esp when u can admit u dont know ****
1.) "If u would search MF u would see that u dont need to build a HR unless u want high HP."
Why is that? how many HR's have been running stock block for over three years that we can use as examples? That was a brainless comment. The reliability of a boosted HR motor is undetermined, not proven. If people run 8psi on stock blocks for 5 years with no internal problems, than you can run your uncontrollable mouth. But how can I search data that doesn't exist?
2.) "Listen here Buttercup please stop wastingour time in the FI section and fcking search before u post esp when u can admit u dont know ****."
First of all, buttercup should not be capitalized because it doesn't have a specific reference point. (i.e. , "Look, it's the president!" vs. "Look, President Obama is over there!.")
Second...I post something with a legitimate question because I am looking to hear wind single turbo or SC setup, while you mindlessly bash people with myriad grammar mistakes and unintelligible lingo riddled with cursing and flamboyant, testosterone-induced rage. Whose time is being wasted? You read the post champ, deal with the "consequences."
Thirdly, I repeat myself, since you did; why don't YOU "fcking search" to see how reliable HR stock blocks are with TT setups after 5 years of use. You can't. You lose.
3.) You didn't pop out of the womb an FI expert, so to say i know nothing (which wasn't even true at the time; I said "What do I know," not "I know nothing." You put those words into my mouth.) is quite annoying. I admit wholeheartedly that I know very little about FI. But so did you at one point. When did gathering information about a topic become such an offense? To say I know nothing is nothing but a direct complement to your ignorance.
Why don't you try to help others who are learning? If you can't do that, then I suggest that you...well...G-T-F-O!

Jay since when are you a FI expert?
