Hello all, new here and this is my first post so sorry if its in the wrong forum. I will be getting a fully built Vq35DE later on this year with 11:1 compression, fully built internals with Tomei 280 cams, cometic gaskets, etc. Is it safe to run say a Vortech V3 SCI Supercharger on this with low boost/medium amount of boost and be reliable? Would I need to run E85 if I choose to? Thank you.

 

 

Blowers LOVE compression with good fuel!

 

I run high compression with a V3 Sci and upgraded 928ms impeller, 15psi and e85. My Z is very fun to drive and has a good amount of low end with the added compression ratio. Do it!

 

what everone else said ...

I'll add, you can dial back your timing and running a slightly richer air fuel ratio in your boosted sections of your tune to ensure safety and longevity.

I'd also add an oil cooler to ensure your oil temps stay in-check.

Can we assume you are running an intercooler?

If you want to go one step further - look into mods that'll keep engine bay temps down ... hood vents, exhaust wrap, wrap your intake charge pipes, etc
