Superchargers for the 370Z?
 

Calling all sponsors/anyone with any type of info!!!

Does anyone know if there will be superchargers available for the 370Z?

Is Vortech/HKS/ATI/Stillen working on anything?


Please don't turn this into a TT vs. Supercharger debate. I've already been the TT route on my 350. I want to try something a little less complex this time around and won't be looking for much of a power increase.

Thanks

It's a little more difficult to S/C the 370Z since it is DTB. There was word of a twin centrifigual S/C setup from Vortech for the HR motor, but I haven't seen anything yet. I'm still trying to figure out how Stillen would make a roots style work with the DTBs. Maybe they can chime in. It's all going to come down to how you route the piping. If you can get the brackets to work on the motor; then you should be able to get the piping routed.

There is this:

Filed under: Tuners , Supercars , Nissan If the Nissan GT-R’s 478 horsepower twin-turbo engine isn’t powerful enough for you, the tuners at Power Enterprises has some hardware to put Godzilla over the top. PE has two kits available and a third coming to the Tokyo Auto Salon in January. The 35GTR 560 (as in 560 hp) kit features a PE P-Map ECU, PWR Air Impulse II air filters and an upgraded intake kit. The 35GTR 600 kit has the above upgrades, plus upgraded wastegate actuators and a Supersonic Titanium 89 mm exhaust. For those among the GT-R crowd that could simply never have enough power, Power Enterprises is also working on a twin-charger setup that adds twin superchargers to the mix. the Four Charger System adds a pair of Rotrex C30-94 superchargers to bump the power quotient to 650 ponies. More importantly, the superchargers should provide nearly limitless mid-range torque, making turbo lag a non-issue. We’re guessing track day would be a hell of a lot of fun with that setup, and we’d imagine that a twin-turbo, twin-supercharged GT-R would sound something like Doc’s time-traveling locomotive from Back to the Future . We’ll be on the lookout for more twin-charger details closer to the Tokyo Motor Show on January 9.

Probably be the first twin charger 370Z owner!!!

^ you do realize that kit is for the GTR not the 370Z right?

If yes, I'm confused as to what you meant by posting it.

Im sorry, but what does DTB stand for?

Dual Throttle Bodies (2 intakes) :tiphat:

I saw a root-style supercharger kit for the G37 on here somewhere. I think Shumby posted the pic. It's still dual throttle bodies, but it replaces the manifold (like any good root-style charger does). I'm pretty positive it'd fit under the 370z hood.

It's not twin charger though, but I'd imagine it's going to be good for a LOT of boost.

Centrifugal superchargers are junk... Don't bother with them. They're less efficient than the root-style for comparable boost. Newer root-style blowers don't even sacrifice gas mileage like the old ones and the centrifugal ones. (MOSTLY the centrifugal.)

Although, you can get a BIG sea-shell to make massive amounts of power, unless you're drag racing (which I doubt you are since you picked a Z) it's not worth it.

:werd:

Thanks for all the info guys. I had actually forgotten about the DTB's since my last three VQ's were single. I guess superchargers may not even make it into production this time around....

I apologize for the confusion, I meant, you could do some research and perhaps come up with something similar to that of the Twin Super Charger setup. Although, would it be possible to have two belts coming off the crank pulley?

^^^ It'd be easier just to have one LONG belt! LOL

Are any companies developing a supercharger kit for the 370Z yet? I'm really interested in supercharging mine since I don't want the huge power gains/costs of a twin turbo.

Honestly, I'd like to see a twin super charger kit for the Z. It's got the perfect platform for in.
