Cool New here...and to the 350z

Hey everyone I've recently purchased a 2006 350z GT Roadster that is decently modified. After checking it out it looks like the next thing that can be done is supercharging it. The car came equiped with a full Stillen exhaust and intake as well as a Kinetix manifold. Othewise I believe the rest of the engine is stock but I'm not 100% sure. My question is....if I were to have a Stillen Supercharger installed are there any other engine componets that would need to be upgraded to make sure I don't blow the damn thing up. I don't drive the car much and it has under 30k miles but I don't want it to go to **** just because I wasn't sure of what I was doing.

Thanks

not sure if I would spend the money to supercharge a roadster, but obviously that is why it is your car not mine. Regardless, welcome to the forum!

Well he's right.

The stillen roots kit is a no go.

Hot air, low volume, not a lot of power, and that whine does not fit a v6 lmao.

Get a vortech and go home.

The investment can reach past 20k depending on how things go. You ready for that?

If not, for performance put on a DE lower plenum, spacer, maybe rear diff and shorter gear. That's it.

1. sell the stillen super charger
2. buy a turbo kit...nuff said

the stillen supercharger is imo weak. i wouldn't worry about anything just install it and start driving and make sure you do oil changes more often.

In what part of the OP's post did he/she say they had a supercharger to sell? I see intake and exhaust

he picked stillen because he has stillen stuff on his car already I assume. If he does the research he will decide against it im sure.
