Blower

I know the stillen supercharger kit won't work on a VE, especially if you have ABS, but has anyone investigated the possibility of an Eaton or KenneBell screw type supercharger? It would be easy to package, easy to install and the low end would be brutal! Modifying or even creating a lower intake or adapter shouldn't be that hard, and there's enough variations of these blowers out there that one of them has got to work. Any thoughts?

I'd do it it if I wasn't so broke all of the time! It's just every time I look for parts or performance idea's, it's either for a VG, or VQ. We need stuff for VE's!

Internetautomar, Are you serious? If so, maybe we should get everyone to write Nissan Performance Magazine, Stillen, and anyone else we can think of to attempt to pull it off!

Yes, becuase the bank seperation is very close between the 2 motors.

I would love to see this happen but there are some big problems to overcome. THe major one of course it that the person that pioneers it has to have deep pockets. I would guess that it would cost in the neighborhood of 10 g's to get a completely finished, no problem supercharged VE into existance. Now I will be taking donations from the group and offer my car up as the test subject .

it shouldn't take that much money to do. you should be able to find all of the nececities for pretty cheap, even the s/c. the most expensive parts would just be whatever pieces that need to be custom machined. those are what cost a lot but overall price shouldn't even excede a couple thousand if done properly.

why not turbo the damn thing and be done with it... more TQ than a roots, more HP than a roots / TS, Much less parasitic drag etc.... etc.....
are there any smog legal kits though?
turbo > roots/TS > centrifigul

we need a roots and turbo setup. extreme low end power mixed with extreme high end power. just have to set it up to cut out the roots blower when the turbo kicks in somehow.

Maybe, But an SC makes power over the entire powerband. whereas a turbo has to spool first meaning spinning your engine which isn't always the best choice.
