Check out my350Z.com and 350ZMotoring.com.    There have been numerous discussions of the Procharger.   Unfortunately, a lot of the discussions arose because of a couple of blown engines.   The VQ35 is not designed to be able to handle a lot of boost.    There are a number of fuel management issues, etc.

Middlehursts in the UK are currently modding a Z with, I believe, a
Stillen Supercharger.

Am waiting to hear reports on what difference this makes to the car,
but will post if/when I hear anything.

8 verified and confirmed VQ35DE engines killed; rings or pistons blown by the ATI Pro Charger out of a claimed 100 sales for our
car. Not very good statistics for ATI.

They had so many complaints at the forum at www.superchargersonline.com that ATI
pulled their entire forum off of the site lol!

I took a look at this kit. IMO this kit has all the right ingredients except
one. The 350Z has a compression ratio of 10.3 to 1.  This compression is not
boost friendly. The 300ZX n/a has a compression ratio of 10.5 but the "big
brother" twin turbo compression is 8.5 to 1. The 1990-1996 300ZX TT also has
larger oil jets to cool the bottom of the pistons than the normally
aspirated model.  The super charger kit should have included a thick metal
head gasket to lower the compression ratio of the 350Z.  To do this
modification right the pistons should be replace to lower the compression to
about 8 to 1 maximum and a method of cooling the pistons. Also while your at
it install an oil cooler.

Oh man thanks for the information.

SO GLAD you guys showed me the light on this one.

Thank you again.

And since no one for some reason has said it.

Hope everyone... Nissan, Suburu, Toyota, and Ford alike (lol) HAVE A
SAFE and HEALTHY NEW YEAR.
