I mentioned the possibility of a SC to the machine shop owner he said not to with 11.0.1.

^ look into what the zr1 compression ratio is, and its super charged. its all in the tune

why not? with bigger injectors and a walbro pump, and a good tuner.....you'll be just fine. that'd be my plan if the car sticks around

Cool now the question is which SC and what amount of boost. (although I suppose I need to install the motor first)

Classy

iTrader: (7)

You do need to install the motor first! stock compression ratio of a 350z is 10.3:1, 11:1 is not that much more, and people boost on that ALOT! Yes they blow motors, but we have forged and strengthened internals and everything is balanced nicely!

I am personally planning on a Vortech V3 Tuner kit with a walbro 255lph and like 600cc injectors running the 3.33 pulley, maybe a 3.13 but I think I will have PLENTY of power with a 3.33. Another thing about a supercharger is, that the more free flowing your motor is, the EASIER it is on the motor. This is what I understand from my research before I go on and someone blasts me... lets say a stock motor no mods 350z get a vortech stock set up supercharger. lets say it makes 8-9 psi, on the SAME supercharger set up, free flowing exhaust, cams and anything to help it breathe better, the supercharger might only make 6 psi, BUT your HP numbers will be much higher. SO, on my set up, I might only have like 7 psi from a supercharger, and with everything forged, I am very unafraid of a supercharger that is set up right and tuned well. On a side note, there are alotta mustang guys that run higher compression like us and run a supercharger on purpose. Higher compression boosted will always make better numbers but you begin to push to that danger threshold easier. You need to find that happy medium which I think I am not going to push the limits of my motor with a supercharger. Just my 2 cents on the matter

im thinkin the v3 too. i would only wanna do like 8-10 psi. that should let me see 4--whp numbers easily

How much are we talking about for that kit all in?

Classy

iTrader: (7)

The vortech kit? You can get the V-3 Tuner kit from Summit.com for like $4050 shipped, another $500 in injectors, $100 for a walbro and whatever it takes to tune it+misc bs so alittle over $5k

So I'd have 30k in mods into a 18k car. Sign me up!

I got my car for $12.5k... lol just for fun, I wanna ball park numbers here
12,500 350z
$8,000 (ball park) engine build and cd009 tranny
$1,000 misc supporting engine mods
$800 JWT clutch/flywheel
$2200 Suspension
$1200 Wheels and tires
$1850 Wilwood brakes
$1300 misc exterior mods
$700 audio
$29,550 (approx) my total investment including the car... That is kinda depressing, haha.

After an upgraded radiator, oil cooler and all the stuff to supercharge it, I will be climbing to $40k!

ewww. ill be buyin a used kit lol i dont like new retail prices at all

Classy

iTrader: (7)

I can't buy a used supercharger, that is just one of those things I won't let myself buy used, and for $4k NEW, that is not bad at all!

V3 is definitely a very capable and attractive compressor, but I promise you that what's in the work now will be a little more expensive but very promising if you plan to run only 9-10psi like I do. When things are a little more concrete, i'll be sure to let you guys know on the details. It wont' be dissapointing (i hope, haha).

used but upgraded/replaced/rebuilt blower lol

Damn that's a bargain... I don't keep a master record anymore since the total sum will make my eyes bleed and my sack shrivel. I keep a sheet for every 4-6 months when I think i'm at a certain milestone, whether it be real or a fake, now I'm at milestone 10.

There was a kid with a Blue 350z HR at the shop today, and he heard me just pull in when he was inside and he came out and said, your car is loud, haha. He should have stayed for 1 dyno pull!
