I did consider just buying the Stillen kit as-is, but like everyone else here, the few issues with the Stillen kit bug me, and I don't want the A2W gear on my car. I like the simplicity of the A2A.

Couple quick questions:
1. Front bumper support, I see most people are using the F.I. support. Does that mean you remove the impact absorbing foam? I have also seen pics of cars with a cut-out OEM bumper support, can the TopGunz IC be cleared with a cut up OEM support? I'd like to keep the impact foam TBH.

2. I have UpRev for my other Nissan and it works well for that vehicle. I spoke with my UpRev guy and he said with an upgraded MAF he can tune the car just fine. Since I am going for a mild SC setup, what do you guys think?

3. For my basic setup, I just need the TG A2A kit and injectors and fuel pump, right?

Thanks guys!

TopgunZ, I saw your new website, it shows the FMIC and says "aftermarket tow bars easily fit" Is it possible to carve out the OEM bumper bar to clear the FMIC?

A friend of mine used spacers to maintain the clearance, which seems to be the cheapest way to solve it.

Better using more free flowing aftermarket exhaust. At least removing the stock cat.

Does anyone have a dyno comparing a stock or lightly modified car to one with this A2A kit?

What do you mean for "lightly modified car"?
Stock = no mods?

I imagine he might be thinking intake and exhaust.

My 2012 Sport 7AT with Typhoon intakes (bought the car with them), Z1 ported upper and lower intake, Z1 test pipes, and Borla catback made 316/268, dyno tuned on Uprev at/by Z1. I don't have my post-SC install numbers since I was T-boned before I could get on the dyno with a solid tune.

HapaZ · 05-24-2019, 10:37 AM

Yeah intake/exhaust and maybe a tune. I want to see how the power/tq curve compares across the rev range to get a sense of how my car would feel with this kit. For example, would the power in a lightly modified car like mine at 6k rpm feel like the A2A supercharged car at 3 or 4k rpm and so on?

The only way to get a "feel" of how the car would drive would be to drive one with the supercharger on it, built to the exact configuration that you plan to build yours to. Looking at a dyno printout and trying to imagine how it feels would be an exercise in futility. Not to mention, the way one car's dyno reads will, in most cases, be different to the next depending on: supporting mods, tuner, location/elevation/temperature, year of car, miles on engine, and almost any other variable you could think of. As they say: "No two cars are the same."

But, to get a sense of the power/torque curve, it's similar to stock in that it's linear except the #s are higher.

Here's a dyno sheet of my a2a upgrade if it helps you out. As North Style stated, it builds power linear but I can tell you it pulls like a freight train and feels nothing like a lightly modified car.

Is that a built motor?

Oh, yeah, definitely e85 at 16.4 psi. At the bottom of the page it shows the 4 different boost settings and fuel.
