Supercharger
We finally have someone brave enought to attempt a supercharger on our beloved 3rd gens. I dont know about you but Im goin to be down on a kit after he's done. Check in the general section about 3 pages back and you can see how much hes done..I wonder how much psi hell be runnin..

for one, the "supercharger" is waaaay too small.. he'll be lucky to get 3lb of boost with it, as the turbine on a turbo needs to spin WAAAAY faster than what that thing would spin, even if the engine was at 6000rpm.
two... he's bolting it to the frame of the car and expecting it to contact the engine's belts? what happens the first time you touch the gas pedal? that's right, the engine moves and the belts either move away from the pulley, or rip the belt apart from stretching it.

oh reallllly? everything there is to know about superchargers, eh? he must really know a lot then..
I'll believe it when I see it running. just like all these other turbo posts.. "Yeah, it's almost complete, but I cracked this and I turned this off and I havent' tuned it yet, but I'm making about 15psi without an intercooler."
yeaaaaahhhhh.. pics? dyno slips? track runs? videos?

well if the end result is flawed its pointless, thats like if I decided to buy a turbo and started cutting holes in my manifolds and posted pics, yeah Im doing something but it doesnt mean a damn thing.

he gotta make his engine run at an insane speed to make any usable boost. but props to him for trying

sure Greddy blew some engines but they new the fundamentals behind what they were bulding, Im not telling anyone how to think I just feel that you have to accomplish alot more than supa max has/will with his setup to be more than "talk"

End Result? I"m sorry but i'm not going to my little brother just because he lost at his championship game and telling him he sucks because you lost and nothing else matters. Point is he tried, and he gave it his best shot. And give the kind of encouragement to make them try harder and train better next time. Good Luck with the supercharger!

Im dead serious, In late august or early september Im going to have hlh0501 install one of his turbo's on my car and once he does mine (or anyone that gets there before I do) he will have the dimensions and bends etc... so he can just sell the kit without having you drive all the way to kentucky. Im pretty sure he sells the 4th gen and 5th gen kits for around 4K so once he does a VE I would think he would lower the price down around there.

All i was sayin is its good to see someone actually attempting something then jus talk because imo the 3rd gen is one of the best maximas around and either a supercharger or turbo kit would be sweet. We would be the ultimate sleeper still with class. I was jus assumin down the line there would be kits.

There won't be a kit but they archive everything and I'm sure you could have one built for a lot cheaper than a turbo once they burn through their usual prototypes.
