it was a procharger sc...when they are working well/tuned right they're nice, but they've killed a few VQ's (sounds like tuning problems rather than a product problem)...i think i'll wait till the other guys work out the bugs .

 

it's video night. :bubbarubb



that z has some balls. is the sc the only mod?

 

that's a ton of power....nice.....wonder how the manual m3 would do....

 

it would lose just as bad.

 

damn that Z hauls, def a 12 sec car

how much is it puttin to the wheels??

 

Here's the guy's post. He has alot more than just the procharger (sig at the end):

Procharged getting faster, and first kill Video
I installed the the procharger friday. I tuned the car and was really impressed with the performance. Only problem Im having is with the brake pedal (see my other post) Anyways, as I drove more and more the car, the car just started feeling faster. Im seeing boost increase a little faster also. I believe it must be the procharger starting to break in decreasing some friction, making the blower build boost a little better. Anyone else notice this the first couple of miles?

Heres also the story of my first kill, luckly it was against a new M3.

Cars:

ATI Procharged 350z, Borla Dual exhaust & Headers. Driver and Passenger.

2003 SMG M3 coupe stock, Driver and Passenger.


First race was from a dig. Im still learning to launch the car with the procharger so I got MAYOR wheelspin on 1 and 2 gear (stock worn out radials). Check out the top end though...

Second race was a 1st gear roll. I gave the M3 the jump.

Hope you enjoy, right click "download and save as"

just read another post; 387 whp.


The car dynoed 387rwhp with C16 race fuel to be safe. We havent taken the car to the track yet. Only 70 miles with the procharger

Javi: Gracias por esos saludos de nuestra isla vecina. Algun dia estaremos por alla en Salinas con el Nissan. Estan siempre invitados a nuestro hotel aqui en Santo DOmingo cuando esten de visita.

 

how much is the blower for the Z??

 

I think it's around 6 or 7k installed.

 

Wow... that pulled harder in 3rd and 4th than I ever pulled on an M3 (with the turbo)!

That will be a tough car to beat... damn! Probably will run high 12's on street-tires and mid-to-low 12's on slicks.

 

damn thats pricey

 

damn that z booked it on the m3. this guy has money to have a supercharged z and a turbo'd IS especially a toyomoto one.

 

That is crazy! I want a 350 now.

 

Damn that Z smoked the M3. Now thats a real s/c.

 

notice he didnt have his hazzards on the 2nd run... cocky m3 driver

 

I need to start saving...

 

You are being pulled to the darkside bro... You may not have said so publicly, but I know what you're thinking :-)

 

Yikes....that sucker pulles like a raped ape!!!

 

Don't worry Dinan already has an SC on the way for the E-46 M3, and that will be the end of that story!

 

We will need to see the rematch ya know

 

any numbers for that yet??

 

 

it will probably look something like this.

 

Woah, major pullage from the Z. I Love to see BMW's get spanked.

 

nice m3

 

holy shit that z is of the hook

 

Supercharger on an engine that has 11:1 compression? Sounds ominous. In any case, it's run-what-ya'-brung, and as of now the M3 got owned.

 

w/ ecu and IC it'll be fine

 

fast

 

true...but with a total investment of 55k for the car (conservatively, new) and probably upwards of 8k for this sc. The Z can be had new for 30k plus 6 to 7k for the sc. not saying i don't love m3's (cus most here know i do) but the performance for the buck for an FI Z wins in handling and power....many more FI packages to come for the Z also. Point is, the z has alot of potential for what it costs and comparing a 63k dollar car with a 37k dollar car is kinda unfair.

 

Hmmm.... I think a 400+whp CL-S is in order

 

Think about it. Whatever you can do to your CL-S you can pretty much do the VQ35, the one big advantage being the 350z aftermarket is growing exponentially both here and in Japan.. I'm not dissing the CL-S or Acura at all; I think the CL-S is a beautiful car and it has a lot of innate and realized potential. I just think that there are a lot of companies focusing on the Z right now, and I don't see that trend dissipating anytime soon. All that competition and focus= good for the consumer.

 

Additionally, it's possible to get a built 3.5 VQ with lower compression forged pistons, forged connecting rods (the achilles heel in the VQ) for under 6K. Where there's a will there's a way..

 

nice video damn that 350z moves
