Has anyone looked at supercharging their 35s? Vortech make a pretty cool bolt on kit to get you about 400HP at the engine - and its only $6k landed from the USA. Could be a bit of fun :yes: I believe it comes with timing and fuel computers or something. Perhaps we could do a group buy down to Aus?

Not that I'm in a position to get one, but I found a while ago that the Greddy twin turbo kit was pretty much the best value of the lot.

i know a few people in the states have them and are quite happy.

I considered a turbo kit but my V35 is auto, so i thought a supercharger would be nice and fluent with the power delivery. Plus i have no intention on rebuilding the engine so about 8psi on a blower would do me fine?

I have a HKS S/C kit on my car and I love it.

Nice and quiet (unlike the Vortec)

It only boosts 5 psi which is plenty if you want the engine to survive long term.

Gives more power everywhere.

Only 300hp to the the wheels which is enough for now.

Pre tune (about 270hp) ran the 1/4 at 13.7 with traction issues

Whereabouts did you get your kit from? And did you fit it yourself? What ECU do you run, and who tuned it?

My kit came off a 350Z

Yes fitted myself

The kit comes with a F-Con pro piggyback computer and was tuned by XSpeed here in Perth

Unless they've fixed it, the GReddy kit isn't a complete kit. I forget what parts you need to get on top, but when you spec it out it ends up being almost the same price as the APS. And I've read mixed reviews about it.

I've driven a 350Z that had the HKS supercharger, and then the HKS single turbo kit, and the turbo is far superior. While they both made the same peak power the ST feels a lot stronger, and is easier to crank up the power on.

I'm not a big fan of centrifugal superchargers, either.

When I run my 1:09 at Wakefield in street-legal NA tune, I'll probably investigate the HKS ST.

Far superior?

I beg to differ

My V35 Supercharged versus a 350Z HKS ST on same dyno

Agreed easier to turn the wick up on the ST but at the risk of engine problems

Just got my V yesterday and I reckon its got some bloody good poke in auto natro form. I really cant wait to charge it!. I definately think the Vortech kit looks the go but Im not sure what u need ECU wise for it. The HKS kits always impress me so i may lean that way. Any hidden surprises with yours mr R34?

No but plenty of surprises for LS2's and STI's :laughing-smiley-014:

The HKS is pure stealth which is the way I wanted it ...Vortec's are very noisey

Nige, is that a photo of your engine bay?

Nah they wont sell me one because the say my wife will kill them and she would, I get a new car every 6 to 12 months so I don't like pumping big dollar into my cars now,

I am not to far off 230 rwhp and a few more big mods to do as I would like 240 to 250 rwhp in NA as they drive quite well, I will run any one I would in my EVO 8.

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
