he's right. i saw the stillen but did not see the vortech nor the hks for the 350z.

 

just a thought, why not just throw in some Bigger injectors instead of the ones that
hks includes and then throw in the test pipes and headers.........
i had a supra before and just installed 550cc and a walbro fuel pump and i was mad
rich! with 3in downpipe,test pipe and n1 catback. had to use the s-afc to tune down the fuel....unless properly tuned of course your not gonna be pushing much more
power but at least you'd get a little more and still be safe in the a/f
....good post guys this thread is why im considering HKS

 

Exactly what I plan on doing.

Larger primary injectors, bigger pulley and Vpro instead of fcon sz.

I really like the HKS SC kit.

 

keep us posted on your progress, guys. good luck! my kit isn't making huge numbers, around 300rwhp, but i really love this kit.

 

I plan on adding JWT cams to mine next month. I just wish HKS would release a smaller pully

 

My knowledge of superchargers is limited.

smaller pulley = more boost? less boost?



<edit, nevermind I looked on google.. "A smaller pulley will allow the supercharger to run at a higher rpm thus creating more boost and more boost equals more power." when I typed bigger pulley above, I suppose I really meant smaller pulley, bigger boost.

 

More boost due to a lighter weight (which = less rotational mass)

 

thank you

 

As of 11/7/05, the kit is still not CARB approved.

 

Makes sense, but I've always heard people say I want a bigger pully for more boost.. So what does that mean.

 

Yea and no support for rev-up motors as of yet.

 

The diameter of the pulley dictates the maximum amount of boost that will be achieved. It's like a wastegate for superchargers.

 

rotational mass has nothing to do with it. a smaller pulley on a s/c will create more boost because the compressor is rotating faster for a given engine rpm (as opposed to a larger pulley)

 

lol.. sounds like rotational mass to me. Or lack there of.

 

The mass of the wheel has nothing to do with it, as arizzee posted. It is a gear ratio, the smaller wheel physically makes more rotations than a larger one when driven by the same crank pully. The greater the number of rotations the pully makes, the faster it turns, and the faster it turns, the faster the compressor wheel turns. The pully's mass has nothing to do with the compressor speed. Hope that clears it up.

Thanks! Makes sense to me.

 

any new news on hks superchargers? dont hear to much about them any more just turbo this and turbo that

 

planning on one in the near future.

 

That's the awesome WIKI encyclopedia that's on the other 350Z site. Awesome forum as well.

 

Good info there, especially for someone like me who needs to have his hand held while being walked through the visual aids...

Ill, you're a HKS ho-bag. Are you sponsored yet?
