Looking for some HELP regarding supercharging

reldas

Hello all, i am hoping to go supercharger soon and i am just working out all the supporting mods i would need to make sure everything goes ok and will last. my car is 7AT so i know i will have to build up the transmission to make sure that doesn't blow out, i am dealing with this separately.

The supercharger will be Stillen with the frozenboost heat exchanger and a 9 lbs pulley.

here is my current list that i think i will need, i plan to buy everything from Z1 since getting parts in Australia is a bitch and ive never had any issues with Z1.


Z1 370Z Urethane Transmission Mount - Z1 Motorsports 370Z/G37 Urethane Transmission Mount

Z1 370Z Urethane Motor Mounts - Z1 Motorsports 370Z/G37/R35 Urethane Motor Mounts

Z1 34 row oil cooler - Z1 Motorsports 370Z/G37 Oil Cooler Kit

Stillen Transmission Cooler - Stillen 370Z/G37/Q40/Q50 Auto Transmission Cooler

CSF Radiator - 370Z / G37 Automatic Upgraded Radiator with Condenser

DW 850CC injectors - DeatschWerks 440cc-850cc Fuel Injectors

GTR Spark Plugs x6 - OEM VR38DETT Spark Plug

Aeromotive 340 LPH Stealth Fuel Pump - Aeromotive 340 LPH Stealth Fuel Pump 11142(Offset Inlet, Inline)

Uprev GT Mafs x2 -http://www.z1motorsports.com/g37_370z/product_info.php?products_id=4720

I would like to get all of your opinions on whether all this would be suitable or if i should change anything. ive tried to do as much research on this as possible by myself but im no expert.

Thanks all.

Ben, whatever you do, do not go overboard on boost ... there are any number of engine failures when pushing s/c beyond modest boost levels ... I'm sure that you;ll get feedback from experienced hands in the USA.

There is at least 1 Stillen kit in Sydney .. but I am stuffed if I can remember who it is.

Yeah i know, im only going for like 7-9 psi to keep it safe.

Spark plugs + larger heat exchanger are a must, you can use the GTR one's or HKS make an equivalent also if you can't source GTR plugs, I know in Aus, HKS plugs were going to be much cheaper than GTR plugs and that was cost price on GTR plugs at the time (6 months ago).

you don't actually need anything on the list of items you have listed except maybe the Auto trans cooler, I'm running the stillen kit on a manual.

The only reason to upgrade fuel pump/injectors would be to run E85, even though you'd probably want 1000cc injectors over the 850's.

We already have an oil cooler on our cars stock in Aus, so adding an extra will still benefit but again not required. I see you have the 09 model from your profile, maybe double check this as I've got an 11 model, not sure if it was added to later models or came right from the 09's

So basically up to you but I wouldn't waste money on;

Fuel Pump/Injectors/MAF's (unless running E85).

yeah i not going to run E85, so thanks for the advice on that.

Definitely an oil cooler is needed. I have a '12 and while stock the oem oil cooler couldn't keep up when pushed hard. Adding way more power adds way more heat. I've got a huge oil cooler and it keeps the temps in the "normal" range... As for more supporting mods, far gauge, boost gauge, and oil pressure gauge are very good to have.
