Can we use those?

providing that there's enough psi... I just wonder if it would be cheaper.. they could be had in junkyards in a little while I would think...

Does anyone know who it's made by?

if you're wondering, yes I'm a little obsessed with the supercharger idea at the moment

The Frontier has both a different engine and tranny layout. If you are going to go the S/C route, then go with the Stillen (urgh!) S/C, it is designed for the VQ and is bolt on.

Is the frontier's engine a VG? My wife's got a Pathfinder with the older 3.5L VG.. I wonder if it's the same...

No, 3.3L. And yes, it is still slow, a 17.5-18.0 second 1/4 at about 75.

The Frontier SC is made by Eaton. They also add a few other things to the engine. I read a description of it at the dealership this week.
