Who still makes a supercharge kit?

OK...now this just contradicts everything I thought I understood about all this. The thing that's missing from his response is if there might be an ADVANTAGE to an upgraded fuel system? Might there be an advantage to just adding the 1050x injectors?

Asked another way: is there a cutoff horsepower level (or psi) where you need a fuel return system?

I hate when answers don't really go far enough, and only open the door to more questions...

I would assume that it really relies in the tuning.
If the tuning is calibrated to where you have a lack of fuel...
Fuel targets are fuel targets. If you can't hit them you need better hardware, and if it isn't hitting the target, it isn't running right.
If the fuel is wrong target then change it, and a lack of fuel is due to either mechanical issues or target being too lean.

So for example:
If you want to run e85, you need really good A/F sensors, otherwise you won't know if you are hitting the e85 fuel targets accurately or not.

I would also assume when he is talking about serious high HP numbers he probably means 600whp++ or in that range. Maybe 700whp? Haha.

Something I don't understand. You're spending a lot of money on parts to meet your goal of 700hp yet you don't want to spend money on a fuel system to support those mods. Are you planning on trying to hit 700hp on the stock fuel system?

No lol. I am going to definitely upgrade the oil cooler and fuel system, I just want to make sure if I dont need it now, I can spend that money elsewhere, ya feel me?

I am most definitely going to get the cjm s1-se, just not right this moment if I can safely push it aside and get other things like a 928 upgrade and get that out of the way haha.

redondoaveb

Yeah, but you're getting the 928 upgrade so you can run higher boost (smaller pulleys) which means you want higher hp. Why not support that high boost now?

Because its either I get the 928 or the cjm s1 se first. one or the other xD and i prefer the 928 first only because it takes 2 week turnaround time plus the labor of removing headunit from bracket from engine bay then shipping it out lol

He also was aware of me having the 928 upgrade which is what I put in the PM and he still said it would be fine to run 100% stock fuel system (that being the stillen modified kit fuel sysfem), with 1050x IDs.

Im sure if it wasnt good he would recommend me get the S1-SE system.
I was surprised he said what he said as well , dont get me wrong! Considering the amount of boost I will be getting after 928...

But he knows what hes talking about Im sure way better than I can research lol. So I trust him.
I will still upgrade it when I upgrade to e85

redondoaveb

Charles is definitely the man when it comes to fuel systems. So, you're still going to do the 928 upgrade after talking to Vortech?

There is no mention of a Stillen modified kit fuel system in Topz' kit, and he also recommends a pump upgrade. I was hoping to begin ordering parts soon, but now I'm confused which way to go -- with these conflicting opinions...

cupcakez

Oh. Haha sorry I may have used the wrong words.
What I meant by stillen modified fuel system is just the stillen instructions that tell the installer to modify the stock fuel pump housing from the 370z (We had to drill in a hole just enough for I forgot what reason but I remember drilling the hole in the stock fuel pump housing xD And that's all I really meant by, for when saying a modified kit fuel system haha.

cupcakez

Yeah because I want the bearings upgrade.
Unless I can use my triple pulley combination with just their impeller upgrade from vortech to make it an SCi...when I asked vortech, they said they dont know -.-

redondoaveb

Yeah, bearing upgrade is a good idea. I hope my stock ones hold up. The stock sc is the Sci. The upgraded one (which is what I have) is the Si.

Yup and I'll let everyone know how the 928 upgrade holds up -- if I have to create a horror story or a success story. Chances, decisions, chances. Hmm...Haha.

I plan to replace my v3 head unit eventually when I max out the power on that thing with the a2a kit, and will be hungry for a v7. So hopefully the 928 will hold me out until then! (Somewhere in 2019 lol).

For now I want to go little by little safely haha

redondoaveb

Keep the updates coming.

Yessir!!
I most definitely will.
And tbh what also gravitates me toward 928 more than Vortech aside from the fact that Vortech had no idea and referred me to Stillen regarding the triple pulley sizes I asked about...and not willing to put in parts that they did not make even IF the customer signs a waiver saying it would void any warranties and such on the unit.
AND that vortech takes forever / never responds to emails or inquiries I send, and hard to reach even over the phone!!!!

Whereas Carl from 928 responds to emails, Stands by their work completely and has good customer service.
And has a bearing upgrade as well as an impeller...
And the fact that a lot of the high WHP supercharged successful people on these forums have the 928 upgrade inlcuding StillenZ84, I think I am leaning more toward 928 haha

It appears someone bought the GTM/Gamma firesale... There probably are SC kits to be pieced together there.
