I am guessing if you got a different hood (say the trans-am hood), the supercharger from the 350Z could fit on the max. Hopefully others will know better.

oh yeah, I forgot the trans am hood is a direct swap for a 2k2/2k3 hood

my prediction, it won't happen for at least another 2 years. It's a $30k car so most people will wait for the warranty to run out before attempting this in enough numbers that makes it worth someone's time to make a kit.

The greddy (twin 18G Mitsubishi turbos) turbo kit for the 350Z)-
Theres a version for the G35 is coming soon - So its just a matter of time before we see one (maybe a year)-
Its worth the wait if it yields 100lb/ft of torque!
more than any SC will give thts for sure- and its street friendly under normal driving-
Check the motortend website-

I think he's talking about that new hood for the 5th gen that Criag Mack posted in OT - it looks like a Trans-Am hood.

I doubt it, the way that the engine sits in 350z is different than that of maximas.

guys...its never gonna happen. The 2k2/2k3 maxima owner population probably makes up about 5% of the total owners 2k2/2k3 maximas in the whole US. Now....probably 2 percent of the people on maxima.org will ever put the money up for a New supercharger system. That dosent seem like a very promising investment for a company to invest R&D into.

The same could be said for the the kit originaly made for the 95-97 maxima, no? It seem's to have been a good investment for stillen.


You guys fail to see that if a 02-03 maxima SC kit is made it will fit onto much more then just the maxima. If a SC fit's are car it means it will fit the altima, murano and maybe even the quest? Not to mention it will fit the new 2004 maxima to. There may need be a some minor tweaking between the cars, but that's it.


Give it some more time....

I took 2 years for a Y pipe/header combo. I am thinking 2005 a Supercharger will be out.

Actually, I spoke with a guy from CompTech and the situation is probably what you expected. All the brackets, driveshaft, MANIFOLD and pulley are custom molded for the TL-S engine. He stated it literally takes months to get just "sample molds" to test fit, with real engineers working on the design. Their kit requires no chip upgrades, they only need to fool the intake to "read" boost and not "vaccum" air.

He was surprised there are no kits for us since there are so many VQ35s out there.

Yup, seems like it is a cheap way to increase the fuel pressure. you can trick the MAF and to make it believe that it is always at WOT so the ECU will delivery more fuel to the engine. in the case of maxima, the fuel pressure for normal aspirated at peak is around 55psi, so if you are able to trick the MAF and make it believe that it is at WOT at all time, then it will be pumping 55psi of fuel at all time. It is going to hurt your wallet more compare to a mechanical fuel management or re-mapping the ECU. It is not efficient for a centrifugal SC because its boost increase along the rpm curve, therefore, u will need to increase amount of fuel according to the amount of boost instead of a constan fuel pressure.

it works for screw-type and root-type because they get their power at really low rpm...something like this:


IMO, centrifugal charger is a dyno queen. got area-under-the-curve?


Maybe TL-S's kit is just like the TRD sc, it doesnt need to add any fuel management unit or re-map the ECU because their stock boost is pretty low and the stock ECU will be able to support it. But again, they have a screw-type SC and 6 or 7psi will be as powerful as 10psi from a centrifugal.


He was surprised there are no kits for us since there are so many VQ35s out there.
he shouldnt be surprised and not every VQ35 wants to get boosted. There are more VQ30 out there than VQ35.

The Stillen kit for all 4th gen and early 5th gen are pretty much the same kit. The only changes between 4th gen and 99.5 - 2k1 are the mounting bracket (small change) and MAF relocation.

I've heard 390rwhp now. Two months ago in sweltering 90 degree weather and wearing bling bling 19s with 35 series tires, the ATI 350Z was running 13.1@109mph. With some drag radials, light rims, cold weather, and a sea level track, this is a low 12 second ride that looks and sounds bonestock on the outside. The SC install and presentation is top notch. Install looks very simple, IMO.

These twin turbo 350Z setups don't seem to be cranking the same kind of peak numbers, but I'd guess the power under the curve is a bit healthier than the SC 350Z simply because turbos are more efficent. Give the twin turbo 350Zs another few months and they'll be cranking out serious power. As always, how much are you willing to pay and risk to be the fastest? Good luck Cheston and prove those my350Z.com wrong.
