Welcome to the Board. Yes you can put a Stillen Supercharger on a Auto Z. When you Buy it tell them it's for an Auto.

You could get a vortech or stillen supercharger.

However all these applications have only been tested in the US.

Are the cars in Dubai UK spec or Japanese spec cars?

There might be some difference in the type of fuel the US cars run vs anywhere else in the world.

Like Jeff said I'm not sure of the support you have out there. The stillen would be the best if there is no one to tune the car on a dyno. If you don't have a lot of support there I'd stick with the stillen because you can bolt it on and not have to mess with it. If you have shops out there that can help you, you can make more power with the other setups but they are more work to install and tune. Hope it works out for you which ever way you go.

The stillen kit is installed on some cars in the UK installed by Middlehurst Motorsports.

Dream Workes says you can have the 350Z auto tranny with their positive displacement supercharger. They say they modify the ECU so that the auto tranny shifts quicker, firmer, and it does shift before hitting the rev limiter in auto mode. (Heard some reports Vortech’s kit causes auto tranny to hit rev limiter if in full auto mode, but not a problem if use triptronic.)

Dream Workes says they are going to offer warranties on the engine and drive train for their supercharger kits. For instance, Dream Workes warranty on their stage I supercharger kit costs $650, you have a $200 deductible, with 4 years/48,000 miles unlimited coverage on engine and drive train. Is it worth the $650 in addition to the cost of the supercharger? Only you can decide. They say they think (not a done deal yet) they will be able to offer this warranty on their stage II supercharger for $1000 to $1100 (cost not finalized). Again, only you can make the call if security is worth the cost. Stage II supercharger kit for the 350Z costs $6600 and is supposed to give you 460 hp at the crank on a stock Z. If you add their headers, exhaust (true dual, similar to Injen), and under drive pulley kit (crank and accessories), that 460 hp is bumped up to 490 to 500 hp for the 350Z. Now, these are their claims. We will have to see if reality lives up to these claims as they estimate the new kits available sometime this month. It is a positive displacement supercharger, but you don't have to replace the stock hood or remove the front strut tower brace as you do for the Stillen kit. (I think you have to remove the brace with Stillen – if I remember correctly.)

They say you'll be able to get the Dream Workes kits installed by Nissan dealers that do NISMO and get warranty work there as well. Furthermore, Dream Workes says their fuel management system plugs into the factory ECU and it has "learning" ability so no tuning is necessary. (There have been small ECU tweeks to the factory ECU by Nissan since it came out, I am told by numerous sources, and Dream Works says their FMS learns and adjusts to these changes.)

As many on this board will tell you, Dream Workes is new so we do not have long term experience, yet, with which to rate their products or their claims which I have posted here. Only time will tell. And I'm not saying this kit is gonna be the holy grail of 350Z superchargers, but looks good enough on paper that I think it’s worth keeping your eye on to see if it lives up to the hype.

I got the above info from Goran at Dream Workes last Sat. Now I notice that TheFuture has posted similar info several threads down - "Dream Workes SC Update" Read through that thread also for a lot of the same info, but some info in addition to what I got from Goran.

You are very welcome. There is a picture of the Dream Workes supercharger just posted on the other thread in this forum posted by TheFuture titled - "Dream Workes SC Update"

You could buy a car in the US have it modified and have it shipped to Dubai.

I have heard people in the Middle East have done that before.

WOW!!! Technosquare can't even modify this and they are one of the top ECU tuners...

As I said earlier on the thread (in which this originally appears), I have some skepticism about Dream Workes as well. I haven't preordered or given them any money. But, I want to be objective and fair - so eventually, I suppose, their supercharger will actually be on the market and we'll have objective feedback thereafter. Until then I realize, we're just pi$$ing into the wind trying to evaluate them without any real evidence either way. But their supercharger looks good enough, on paper at least, that I think we should keep an eye on it. I agree that the this a pretty tall claim on Dream Workes’ part and it’ll be interesting to see if they can back it up. But, I think it is important that I and others are posting their claims so that we will have statements with which we can hold their feet to the fire if and when their products do hit the market.

Bottom line, Dream Workes is claiming that their Supercharger does not cause the engine to hit the rev limiter before the A5T shifts while in the fully auto mode (like some reports say the Vortech supercharger does) during wide open throttle acceleration. As I said in a subsequent post, in all fairness to Dream Workes, Goran (of Dream Workes) said he’d have to talk to the engineers about details of this. But, that won’t change the bottom line. Bottom line, it’ll either work as they say or it won’t work. Only time will tell.
