Hey guys, i really need help with finding the procharger brace made by altered atmosphere motorsports (aam). They made these braces back in 2008. I have called aam recently and they dont have them or more them anymore. I have had a built motor with procharger for four years now and i have shreaded countless belts. Im finally sick of it. Any help is appreciated. Im either looking to purchase the brace or id like to get my hands on one to give it to a machine shop to copy then return the brace to the original owner. Im at my whits end. If i cant get a brace soon im Parting out my procharger setup. The 7psi kit worked flawlessly. It just destroyed belts at 9psi+. Again, any help please. Any other braces out there? Any other fixes?

My car is. 2003 350z with fully built motor, 6-speed transmission, utec.

Also i need some help locating a tuning shop in northern new york state, eastern ontario, or western quebec. Thanks

 

Can't help ya on the brace issue, but where about's in Northern NY are you referring to?

 

Im located in massena, ny. Im 3 hours north of syracuse. Im closest to ottawa ontario and montreal quebec, but im willing to travel. Id also really like to see a 600 hp 350z!! Very nice looking car

 

Suprised they won't fab one for ya. They still have their machining equip. and the tech..Try to talk to Mike about fabbing one ..Good PR for them..

 

Hey i will give them a call tomorrow about fabbing one up. Im sure anyone can fab up the brace for the right price. Im not looking to really spend anymore then $300 here. I think that anything more is a little excessive considering its about 5$ worth of aluminum.

 

make sure to mention that when you call AAM

 

Oh it was already brought up in our first conversation. They agreed that it was a 5$ hunk of aluminum compounded by several man hours of machining.

 

No help out there? I know im not the only one looking for a procharger brace!

 

I've been searching too and found nothing so keep me posted if you find anything

 

I would personally make a turnbuckle that goes to the outer most part of the bracket and mounts to something solid. I always felt the AAM bracket was an overpriced and mediocre solution to the flexing problem.

 

Something like this would be cheap and easy to do yourself.

You would have to run it to the block though if you don't run solid motor mounts.

 

Will do!

 

Id love to put a turnbuckle on my procharger. There is a perfect and easy spot. But i use oem engine mounts.

Any idea on where do get some components like that turnbuckle? Im willing to try anything

 

Ok its a new week, any new ideas or help out there? Im calling AAM at 10am EST. any ideas on turnbuckle and the 350z?

 

Alright, as expected, AAM said there was no way that they could help me to either make or locate a procharger brace. They said they dont even had any CAD draqings for it.

So with that said fellas, is there anyone out there with a brace currently that could give me measurements. I have full access to a machibe shop thar could fab one of these. Just need some measurements to cut down on man hours. Also would like to know some instructions and bolts used. Thanls in advance,

 

Bump

There must be some people out there that can help!? I just need a brace to copy and fab

 

Bump for help

 

Can you post some better pictures of your setup? Maybe some pictures of behind the blower and what not. I may be able to help. You could also email them to me at z33art@hotmail.com.

 

Ok as soon as i get done with work i will both post and email you some pictures. If i had the solid mount set up there would be a perfect area to mount a turnbuckle, however i have oem mounts. Thank you

 

Go solid then! Your car will feel completely different in a good way (IMO)!
