i personaly have an auto so i would like a SC kit better. what kind of SC would it be like a vortec style or blow/roots style.

The stock 295cc injectors with a FMU will support 350-375whp, which is all I'm after on stock internals. HOWEVER, as soon as Deac verifies 350Z injectors fit, I'd quickly drop RC bigger injectors too.

Why would I want to meet your brother? What's your status in Tucson and Phoenix area in the next few months? You have a shop yet?

maxGTRvq35de

oh yea i would do a stage 2 kit and i like the SC because the price is better. and thanks for all the support one new stuff for our cars it is about time.

I'm with IceY2K1 on that Stage II Turbo, that is definitely the move for 00/01 Maximas.

Wasn't someone else planning to build that for us here on the org a little while back? I could've sworn I read a thread on that.

Whatever happened to that deal?

I voted for sc simply because of price and the fact that I don't need 500hp. Mid 300s is PERFECT.

SSR Engineering

If you guys wanted something like that
- Ball-bearing,
- Complete Turbo Kit,
- Intercooler,
- Fuel and FMU

That will cost a pretty penny, would you guys be interested in having custom internals built as well?

turbo all the way...

SSR Engineering

Well, the sooner the better, thats what I always say. So for those of you that are anxiously waiting any forms of forced induction, there is a solution. If you want to be the guy that gets the first kit we work out GREAT deals for you. Especially on the supercharger system. We offer to give you cost on the parts, free labor, free tuning, free polishing and other stuff. So PM me for more info.

If you're willing to fly to Hawaii, you can consider me the first guy. But, I doubt it, oh well.

where are you guys located

Just wondering if you have any affiliation or are associates with any shops
in the NJ/NY are that would be able to install this kit- if so I can donor my car
for the SC and take part in the expenses- as a result you'll have "many"
buyers of your kit and referral to the shop that installs it here in the NE- being that a large majority of Max owners reside here...food for thought

Is boosting even recommended for autos?
I just got a 2k auto and maybe in about a year I will have enough money + guts to actually do something like that.

We do have some affiliation with some East Coast Shops, but we need a car here for fitment, welding and other purposes that include fabrication.

A Turbo or SC kit that can put down 300 HP, for 3000-3500$ I would be really interested, If it save all the trouble of custom making and get less fitting, cutting, grinding and welding problem, well than show me the stuff and I'll find the dough to buy one. I can take care of the installation since I'm 5000km away from you.

Ive had several turbo cars. I am really tired of the rubber band
reaction to the go pedal. Only brief drives in SC cars but they seem to have
more of the instant torque feel of a big V8.

Put me on the list for a Stage 1 SC, simple, affordable and effective. Spening 5-6K to boost a maxima is way to much IMO, a 3K SC would sell 10X's better.

Ironlord

Roots type SC have that instant torque because of their design. Nothing puts down more low end torque than a roots except maybe nitrous. The centrifigal is liuke a turbo in that you have to get higher into the revs to feel the boost.

Thats why i want a roots...

But I understand it probably wouldn't fit.

We'll get all of our ducks in a row and hopefully have each and every option available, by summer time.

Id love a turbo, BUT for the cost and what id use it for personally id rather have a simple SC-i that can put down an extra 75-125whp and for the most part still keep the car relaible.
Mine is an auto on top of that, so I would still need to mess with a few things to keep it holding together as well.

MaximaPolak

iTrader: (9)

I agree. S/C is the way to go.
I also have an auto and I want the S/C

woreyah

Question: If both kits were setup to produce the exact same horsepower, say 325WHP, which one would produce more torque? The kit that produces more torque is the kit I want.

hello~

have you had a chance to look into my questions regarding your future SC kit?

-how much boost you plan to run with in stage 2?

-what's included in "fuel" in stage 2? fuel rail, injectors, fuel pump, adjustable FMU and FPR? How are those going to be applied on 2k2's returnless fuel system?

-high boost for stage 3 - how high? 2.62 pulley?

-Is it worth to use intercooler to cool charging air from a centrifugal SC? will it hurt the performance? Somehow, on a same car, I feel your Stage 1 will be faster than Stage 2.


it is funny to see people making choices without knowing what's really in it.


thank you~

[maxi-overdose]

iTrader: (3)

definitly the turbo kit (if everything works fine). centrifugal SC sucks at producing torque.

woreyah

As apposed to the roots type which most SC pick-ups use?

woreyah

Most folks on the .org are HP happy. But it the system that produces the most torque that will get you down the track faster.

[maxi-overdose]

iTrader: (3)

root or screw type SC system have stronger torque and whp curve than centrifugal because it gives you a full boost at low RPM (that's why a lot of trucks/SUV favors in this type of SC for towing/off roading).

The only advantage of centrifugal SC is that it generates less heat and put less stress on the motor since it is so linear.

the link above is a nice comparison between all 3 types of SC

SSR Engineering

hello~

have you had a chance to look into my questions regarding your future SC kit?

-how much boost you plan to run with in stage 2?

Depends on the setup, what it allows us to do, and what we are pushing with stage one, i'd say 10ish.

-what's included in "fuel" in stage 2? fuel rail, injectors, fuel pump, adjustable FMU and FPR? How are those going to be applied on 2k2's returnless fuel system?

We create Fuel Return Lines, we've done it on the Altima, Sentra and RX-8

-high boost for stage 3 - how high? 2.62 pulley?

This can't be determined yet, but expect stage 3 to be somewhat of a High Horsepower, motor needs to be built kit.

-Is it worth to use intercooler to cool charging air from a centrifugal SC? will it hurt the performance? Somehow, on a same car, I feel your Stage 1 will be faster than Stage 2.

Yes, Vortech is introducing Front Mount Intercoolers on all of their new Supercharging systems (well for the 350z anyways).

thank you~

S/C for sure. i hate turbo lag! also it sounds cooler! so how much for installation?

IceY2K1

iTrader: (3)

By 2000rpm a turbo is SPANKING a Vortech SC and I highly doubt any other SC will be used due to cost and space requirements. I'll take full-boost@3000rpm for a turbo anyday over a SC@6400rpm.

SC sounds better?

iTrader: (1)

You don't need boost to make the 3.5L Maximas a 13 second car...

Boost could get the 3.5L into the 11's with some good planning.

MannyNJ2k2max

iTrader: (3)

An N/A 13 sec Maxima wouldnt be too commuter friendly- would you say?

03BlkSETE

iTrader: (3)

Aren't their already a handful of 02-03's that have hit the 13's with just the basic bolt ons. That's without headers, ECU, and cams.

MannyNJ2k2max

iTrader: (3)

nos and slicks and clutch burning need not apply......I just basically want a 13 sec Max
on street trim that doesnt need to be pushed too hard and sound like a locomotive (headers)...choo-choo!

jessemcd

hey ice12k1, i just ment that the whistle of the SC to me, sounds better than the turbo. but thats not the reason i would choose a SC. it was just a point.

Quicksilver

iTrader: (1)

There would be little to no drivability differences between the current mid 14 second stock setup and a 13.9-13.8 second totally streetable car. Wheels/tires, headers (that actually make HP), ECU tuning...and PRESTO! It's a high to mid 13 second car.

MannyNJ2k2max

iTrader: (3)

sorry I cant take the rumble of the headers on my "family" sedan......
I know the Max can push those numbers N/A..... but rather spend~$4000
on an SC that'll put me in the low 13's in street form and keep my precats....more stealth for what I picture my car to be....when I need boost I'll be revin' high for it.....besides I dont want to blow my first childs ear drums w/in cabin noise/pressure..

thx for the response. I am looking forward to see some picture of the prototype and some dyno result.

I worked on my stillen kit for about 1 year and half. I have come up with few suggestions from what I've been thru.

1.easier access to the SC pulley - apparently the stillen kit sucks at this.

2.easy to adjust SC pulley position for belt alignment - to correct belt alignment on stillen kit...you have to take the entire thing off and add washers between the mounting plate and the blower - what a pain.

3.is it possiblt to avoid using those FHCS (the allen key screws)? I stripped so many of them ever since I got the kit. hopefully it is possible to use regular hex bolts.

4.route the oil feed line to a small oil cooler - it is always nice to have cooler oil goes into the blower.
