Sam > Any chance you want to clear the air regarding the lack of real world abuse/track testing on your companies SC kit? Have you done this already and just not reported? If not, will this be done?

Considering our supercharger kit will be sold in Europe with TUV approval, and also sold in Nissan dealership as an option on brand new cars through out the middle east (UAE Dubai- Qatar Doha ) backed up with Factory warranty, real world abuse/track testing was part of the development sense day one. i have been to Dubai 5 times in last 4 month and will be going over there again in the next couple weeks as our supercharger kit delivery day is approaching .

Our real world testing is still on going and we will have a complete write up in the coming weeks .

You won't be disappointed .

SAM.... I have had turbo'ed and sc'ed cars including a supercharged e46 m3. With the different power levels of the sc'er and turbo applications which would you recommend for maximum power on a stock block and everyday drive ability with the least oil temp issues if that is even a concern and why ? I know we haven't heard much from the twin turbo'ed guys and i'm assuming it's because of the overheating issues that are being worked out.
I feel that this car would be perfect at 450whp-500whp. Anything over that and traction would be a major issue..... and I have no desire to build a block.
thanks for the info
and great job....
also do you have any plans to run water meth ?

G35s-Q8 · 03-07-2010, 04:52 PM

Hey Sam, why did you chose Bosch plastic bypass valve (it looks plastic) over some other forged stuff? For example all of my friends driving BMW 335i and VW's swapped their stock bypass valve with (Forge Motorsport) bypass vavle, here's a link:

Forge Motorsport | Alloy Fabrication

What's the reason that made you go with Bosch bypass valve instead of other brands? And do you think it's ok if the BOV you supply with the kit got replaced with something else if it was made for the same boost level?

Sam

Will you have different maps available for bolt-on mods like Hiflo Cats, headers, and aftermarket cat back exhaust?

Also I live in the Mile High City so do you recommend a different tune for high altitude?

Sam,

This may sound simplistic but: -

Would you consider using something like a Racelogic Vbox to do a 0-60, 0-100, 80-120 , 1/4 mile times etc for these types of upgrades. I think it would be fab to have these done for some of the turn-key packages you will be doing, so the average joe can get an idea of the improvements in performance these packages will provide.

i think not only from an interest perspective, but from a marketing perspective it might make some sense. I know id love to know!

That would be pretty cool but I wouldn't be surprised if an independent party (i.e. a buyer) would have to be the one to do these tests.
