Can someone enlighten me on the performance specs of a supercharged 5th gen? Road and Track used to have articles on a Stillen SC'd 4th gen, but their archives are no longer accessible. Also, a magazine came out comparing the SC to JWT's one off turbo kit and Zex's nitrous setup. But of course now I cannot find that either. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

Maxima at the max
where should I start? Well, there are several maxima projects. Stillen, Ste, & GR8RIde has another posted. The Stillen can be found at Stillen.com go to car projects. Also check out GR8RIDE.com and search for maxima\articles and is also some info. Now the Ste project was done Sport Compact Car at SPORTCOMPACTCARWEB.COM THE NOV 2000 issue they may give some info. Hope I helped.

Turbo Mag which did the article that shows their version w/ZEX had a 32 hp boost, to 222 from 190. It also had the HKS exhaust and 19 inch volks. The STe has a weak turbo that has 6 psi of boost and switched to 10 psi at 4500 rpm. It had an ECU too, I guess JWT cause they did everything. Bigger brakes and an intercooler. It made 238 hp. The Stillen CART Pace Car had the S/C full exhaust ran at 6 psi of boost and made 283 hp, YES 283 HP AT THE WHEELS.

As an aside, we used 20% drivetrain loss to calculate power in our lightnings since Ford appears to have under-rated them. Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I thought I read somewhere that FWD is more efficient...say 15% power loss. Lets just split the difference and say 18%. Then by using the info given above of 281 HP and 231 ft/lb of torque at the wheels that would equate to 343 HP and 282 ft/lbs of torque at the crank. That sounds kinda high. Were there any other mods on the car? I think its possible with a Y-pipe and maybe some other mods, but thats alot for the supercharger alone.

I saw the review on the Maxima pace car also, IIRC there was a little more than a SC put in it. They redid the cams, crank and cylinders. It was a big job.
that 280 HP is that for the pace car or a 2K SC and that's at the wheels?

Actually if you look at anyones dyno you'll see that they get about 187-190 HP at the Wheels for a 5th gen Max. The rule of thumb for FWD cars is 15%. so It all matches up. 85% of 222 is 188. so If Stillen's SC Max makes 281 Hp (that's with the SC & Exhaust) that's 238 at the Crank.
That's only 91HP increase, not excessive but a very nice gain considering you just spent over $5,000 for the SC,tax and Install. I am saving my $$$ right now. as soon as they give it a DO Exmp #, I am jumping on one.
OK. I will.
