Guys Guiys Guys.......we are not going to be building a race car that runs 9's.......LOL!! Any additional tranny work is not needed.....now it all depends on how often one would spool up the sc and for how long the stock tranny will last......this is a proto being built that is safe for the car and ready to beat some vett *** when needed, i will not and do not want to build a track car.....too much involved to do that. But yes if you you felt the need to tune and add more boost to it and make it a track car then yes maybe.....just maybe you would have to do some internal tranny work ...but the way it stands now is this will be a bolt on piece and will perform very well for a very long time without any other mods. Lets not get all the other org members who may not understand this but wants one all confused.

Okay......not to be rude man but have you done your reasearch on this?......lets take the 350 z with an auto.....procharger made a kit for it within the first year of production of the car......with that said they still have their prototype and it still performs great. There have been no know tranny problems for any of the Nissan products....why is it that you seem to be beating up the auto?...are you an auto?........

First, even with my modifications the stock tranny doesn't put the power to the ground efficiently. Like I said in other posts, the 1-2 shift is ok but the 2-3 shift at WOT or near WOT is very slow.
Second, I happen to know someone who has a 5th Gen SC auto and has gone all the way up to a fully built auto tranny($5000+) and STILL has problems. He recently lost his 2nd gear.
Third, I think you need to "line up" with a 350Z, G35, or 6spd Maxima(5th or 6th Gen) and see what your tranny does. You'll see what I mean.

Thanks for your information!! It will be helpful in the project! And you dont need to tell me that there are differences between the two cars.........i know already! It was a lame example. I am not about to get into a p!ssing match about this and that. You stated what you stated and i stated what i stated.....we will just have to wait and see....and if for some unknown reason that my tranny shells then i will publicly appologize to you.....but untill then please be assured that plenty of research has gone into this project and we are knowingly entering into a relm of the mechanically unknow but we are good so far with the reseach results. both done by myself and the engineering dept at procharger.
Thanks,
Chef

You know I've been thinkin'. A 6th Gen Maxima, 6spd with a SC kit on street tires will probably run high 12s(12.9-12.7) in the quarter. Most people will probably see low to mid 13's.
11's? No way.

BTW We have a Whipple twin screw SC that is getting the finishing touches. Numbers are close to 450hp
That should give the $100K Cayenne Turbo a serious scare Whipple Twin Screw SC

I just want my car to have more ***** but it already looses traction easily with only a CAI, UDP and MMI. With AWD I bet i could do med to high 5s to 60 in her.

stop thinking, i smell the wood burning over here. there is an NA 5.5 gen 6spd that IIRC ran 12.6. a SC 6th gen with boltons..ie headers, C/B intake should be DEEP in the 12s if not high 11s on some slicks

or concept bumper , check bodykits.com and you might be able to find them still.
this thread needs to be closed , There isnt enough interst for a supercharger ..
for a company to do one , the price would be around 4,000 and how many 6th genners are acutally going to jusify spending 4gs on S/C ?
let alone about turbo 6th genners out there ?
( probally 4 )

turbo is way more fesable than a supercharger. the mounting brackets for SCs have to be SPOT ON. i.e. if a a32 SC plate has like a pulley mount slightly uneven throws off the belt again and again.
Turbo can be piped together. and it doesnt have to be perfect bends in the pipe to a "1mm" accuracy. It would be great but still gets the job done if not
and aftermarket headers are avail to chop and screw to make it work.
Ive seen some 3.5 SCed. 4thgens.. how come you guys cant go the same route..
Ninja edit: ahh timinig case transfer.. gotcha...
