Aux injectors
A note on the Aux injector method.
I currnetly hace a KenneBell setup on my trcuk and it operated in a similar fashion to the DW.
Generally the reason these setups use Aux injector(s) is:
a) the ability to leave the factory injectors and ECU pulse maps intact , make meeting emissions and CARB) much simpler. The aux injectors are only used when positive boost (ie bypass valve is shut).
b) the Aux injectors (often dual, bank fired) for capacity, are useually placed just before the "screws/rotors" and after the TB. This helps in a few ways. - the screws guarantee a well mixed A/F stream (no puddling), - the cooling effect of the pre-screw (rotor) spray help lubricate , cool and improve efficiency.
I welcome some more input on the subject for DW, and feel free to critique. They may later the factory injectors and maps, but I kinda doubt it.

Is there any way to tell yet what dealers are going to install/warranty this supercharger? I am hoping that Smithtown Nissan will ,but I haven't seen them around the forums lately.

I've been looking forward to this kit for some time now, however it seems to be delayed, delayed, delayed. If you do some digging and assume that Dreamworks is the 3rd party contractor for Alpine Development you'll find that the first post about this thing was about a year ago. Also according to past posts the kit should've been done a couple of times now.
That said, this kit seems to offer just about everything I could want for my Z... any information on it would be greatly appreciated.
Engineered products take time. In haste some 350 Z friends purchased and installed other kits and now are having problems.
This is not our goal. Profits are what every company seeks; however, we are only spending our money on development, not yours (from selling our incomplete product).
Our ECU with fuel management is perfect; we intend to rape our competitors on the street and track. We engineer for what we refer to as a "0" rate of failure, we expect to market nothing less.
As far as Alpine Developments, Dream Workes has ownership in Alpine, as well, they are one of our distributors on the west coast.
The strut brace will work. However upon final fitment this may need a small adaptor. If so, the adaptor will be available. (Possibly included in kit).
Shipping is set for January 2004.
Speed is for Pilots.
