Thanks. So there’s 3 total 45deg couplers. Do I have this right? Blue to blower, shorter 45(SH-275-90) to back throttle body, and bigger 45 degree intercooler-charge pipe?

MAP sensor that came with the innovate is different looking out of the box at least. All I have left is I need to check the fuel pump housing before I can order a RFS since I have an earlier model G37 I may have the 350/G35 housing or 370z housing. Talked to Seb, hoping to have this on and doing the tunes in a couple weeks/by second week of May.

You have it right in the picture, just not in your verbage. There is technically only 1 45* coupler. It goes 60* (Blue) to 45* (IC) to 90* (rear TB).

Ordered RFS from CJM. Now the waiting game. What are people’s thoughts on thermal wrapping the charge pipe? Worth it do wrap it while I wait or a waste of time/counterproductive?

Topgunz full supercharger kits!!
 

Doubt there’s any benefit. The major reason for wrapping is to protect other stuff from the heat. The hot side on a turbo setup for example. There isn’t enough heat on that side to worry about much.

Hey TopgunZ! Still following this :) Love all the happy guys with this kit!

BTW any of these been put a Q50 AWD? :)

Hey bud its been a while. I have not sold a kit to any Q50 owners yet but it looks like you are rockin one now. AWD! :yum:

Yes it's been, never left LOL BMW was fun for like a year then needed a motor and warranty was joke :(. So went back to where I should have stayed. :)

Really thinking about this kit, Just not soon, Wife and I opened a business( See sig) so $$$ is tired up right now but really happy you did this for us!
Thanx man

Has anybody fit the 70mm throttle bodies up to the Stillen manifold yet?

Dropping the car off with Seb this Saturday for install and tune.

It's Monday LOL how'd it ogo :)

Car is with Seb, Will get it back in a week or 2. Might do a new fuel system too so maybe a bit longer.

You're in good hands. :tup:

Are you building your 7AT trans, or is it already built?

No, Seb it should hold fine since it's a Vortech and power builds as opposed to something like turbo. I am adding a trans cooler and large lines though.

Its been pretty proven that the tuner has a HUGE hand in how long the tranny is going to hold for you. I dont think you can top Sebs in this department.

Yes, the centrifugal SC's are by far the kindest to a tranny, and motor for that matter. The torque eases in as linearly as naturally aspirated and do not slam in all at once like turbo's or Positive displacement superchargers (Whipples, Eatons, etc...)

This is why on the ford raptor superchargers you have to upgrade the oil pump to a billet one with the Whipple kit but you can leave it alone with the Vortech since it doesnt jolt the internals.

Been said but with Seb you have NO worries :)

Looking at this kit and the power its gives, this will prbably be the route I take when building up my Z. I did want to ask a few questions to help clarify a few things. I would want the car to last as long as possible, with the improved power, was wondering what parts you would suggest. I have seen threads where you lose power with specific upgrades, so looking for a more concrete suggestion on what parts will result in power gains instead of lose.

Transmission: Should it be upgraded before?
Fuel Pump: 340lb+
ECU: Ecutek with the Omni MAP sensor
Motor: Should it be built to help preserve its life or would the motor withstand the power increase without being built? Regardless what upgrade to the motor would you suggest for maximum gains with this kit?
Oil Cooler: Read somewhere that after 2014, newer oil coolers were pre-installed. Should these still be changed out?

I am probably missing a few things, so if there is anything else that would be recommended to upgrade before installing the kit, please let me know.

Thanks!

How much are you looking at then for a full kit shipped to the UK?

Will it still be plug and play ?

I would direct you to a U.S. 3rd party to handle international shipping/customs and I would ship to them for free.

This is a tuner kit so it will not come with fueling and a canned tune out of the box. But, those are worthless anyway. You can remote tune with Sebs from Specialty Z.

Also would like to know these things!

If you have MT then you are good to go since it holds more max TQ naturally than AT, so no need to upgrade it.
If you have AT then your limit on a stock AT according to RJM id ~450lb TQ safely, anything past that is risking it.

I say get better and more sticky tires for the rear IMHO, and an LSD (quaife or wavetrac your choice), and really good suspension such as a set of KW-V3s.


Thats my opinion at least. :)

The MT will not hold over 400tq for very long. It wont even hold under 400 with aggressive driving so to say "your good to go" is not very accurate. You will need to upgrade to the HD CSC also as that is a ticking timebomb.

If you have the sport or nismo model then you already have a LSD.

I assume you are referring to the clutch limitations and not the actual transmission. No one has found the limit of the MT yet. There are guys running well over 800whp on it with no issues. The clutch on the other hand will need to be upgraded.

Yeah i was referring to that lol. The MT. Not the clutch. Thank you :D

This kit just made 488whp on 91 octane!

Thats my car, haha

I saw that yesterday, thought it must be someone on this forum. Congratulations! Mine goes back into Seb in a week for a pulley upgrade.

Cool man. I'll go back later in the year for fuel sustem/e85 and LSD

Flex fuel is the way to go. You enjoying the new power? I'm also having a Quaife lsd installed while it's there and also taking out my 4.08's and going back to the 3.69's.

Haven't picked up the car yet. getting it this coming Friday. I'm having an extra resonator attached to the exhaust to reduce drone.

Congrats! She will be a blast to drive when you pick it up!

So close... So first of all, stupid question but where do I plug in the VGA style cable from the wideband sensor? I sent Seb a rough idle log I’m sure he’s going to be like “WTH is this?” With no a/f except from O2 sensors.
We got the car idling and it ran super rich sounding like an old american muscle car being started up for the first time in 20 years. We played around with the fuel pressure—it started up originally at 72psi we thought it ran best around 45psi. Guy on twin turbos with stock (or at least smaller injectors) is running 65psi so i should need lower than that for the 1050x injectors.
Hopefully I can’t do too much damage on the motor idling at 400rpms. Damn push button start i just tried to turn on accessory to show my innovate gauge (at least ethanol content seems about right) and of course out of habit pushed in the clutch and the damn car started up! Car ran for a second or two longer after i immediately tried to turn it off—must be the RFS.
Waiting to hear from Seb what to do. Not sure how this flex fuel tuning works. Highly unlikely but perhaps the base tune i have is meant to be on ethanol? Haven’t really got much of an explanation of how it works, tuning the subaru the guys send you a damn bible how everything goes

Worth the wait, you're going to love it. Smart move on the extra resonators. I was running test pipes with my fi cbe with 18" resonators also and it got really loud and had a lot of drone after my sc install. I recently added fi lead pipes with 100 cell mil spec cats and motordyne art pipes. It's so much better. Rasp fromtest pipes is gone and drone is almost completely gone. I can actually drive with the windows down now.

Interested to know why you are going back to the 3.69 diff ratio?

I was going to do the quaife when I did this, but I wanted to wait to see how the 4.08s do with all that power first. Though it'll be evne more extreme when I do e85....

Wow....11psi with the 9pb pulley..::What kind of exhaust are u running? Do U still have ur stock cats on?

My kit ships with the upgraded Si trim impeller. These kits make 11 psi out of the box.

Being boosted, first gear is basically useless. Just too low for that kind of power. Second gear requires a lot of feathering of the throttle.

Is the Si Trim impeller better, similar, or worse than the 928 impeller?
Anyone know? or have ideas?

His signature says what kind I think!
