this is a pic of the pro charger on a nissan 350Z
here is a shot of a supercharged NA. u can see the Y pipe going to the throttle bodies and the supercharger in the corner where the A/C used to be.

i want to do this so bad…the guy whos Z this one is said it has cost him 1200 so far and needs to buy an intercooler which will be 500ish…less than 2000 for a s/c z??? will it be SIGNIFICANTLY quicker and less headache than a TTswap? i know itll be 5000 dollars cheaper
do it man, and get a sweet wing
im thinking either bike or 300z next year for me
The Procharger should be purchased as a kit do not, I REPEAT, do not try to piece meal this kit together you will be sorry. I have installed a Vortech kit and it was nice came with everything needed as well.
Twin turbo is a joke and you will sell the car before you finish installing it as it is a bitch
so how is it possible to do it without having everything form vortech or whoever…the site i got the pic of the 300zx with it on it says everything was custom in order to fit it properly
hey thats whats hybrid is for the fabricate things
oh wait
they dont work on 300zx’s 
Some people cant help it if they are affraid of a challange…
:shrug:
diferent length s/c to tb pipes = different flow characteristics between the pipes
basicly just like cabrbed v8’s with dual plane manifolds, that setup has dual plane intake pipes so to speak
this could lead to him having trouble keeping all 6 cylinders @ the proper a/f ratio at all times … 3 could be to a lil to lean while 3 are slightly to rich
the pipe off the s/c should probably come off the SC horizontal, turn straight up@ the middle of the engine, then split into a pair of mirror image pipes that head off to the TB’s
but thats just me and my opinion …
i hope you plan on doing a rebuild with stronger pistons, or at the very minimum lower the compression…
and in my opinion, ZX’s are made to be TT cars, not SC…but thats just me…there’s a lot more of a market out there for TT Z’s than SC kits…and i think there’s a reason there’s so much shit for the turbo z’s and nothing for SC’s…
but hey, i wanted to do a jdm swap as opposed to just buying a tt like everybody said i would be better off doing, and i didnt listen because i wanted something different…so by all means, knock yourself out…hope it doesnt turn out near as bad for you as my project has for me…even though i’m starting to see some slight flickering at the end of the tunnel…
^^^ maybe a TT short block swap, then s/c the whole setup ? keep the n/a ecu and reflash ( i dont know my 300zx’s, is a reflash possible?) or piggyback it w/ an an emanage ultimate
if you’re going to do a tt short block swap though, why not just keep it tt? tt z’s have more than proven their worth, why risk it with a sc kit which hasn’t really ever proven to be that effective on the z’s yet? sure on the 350 they may be, but not on the zx…not that i know of at least
like i said im not firmiliar w/ the 300zx’s … but i understand that it requires the harness swap which , as i understand it from other posts, is the bitch part of the project
im going to have to assume that theres alot of sensors w/ different plugs from the n/a, and alot oif extra stuff that the n/ doesnt have
doing the block swap would retain alot of the n/a sensors that work w/ the n/a computer, allow you to skip any of the harness swap bullshit and then just appoach the project like any other car that never came turbo or s/c from the factory
We are working on Nissan’s as of late, but they all have a ton of things wrong when they come in and they take longer than any other car we work on. Why don’t you ask Newman how much fun he is having with swapping homeboys 300zx TT motor and how much much much longer it took than was expected.
^^^ WORD
hybrid doing the swap woul dhave either costed 90na to spnd WAAAY more then expected on labor, or would have required hybrid to stick to their quoted price and loose their ass on it
nither is a very happy choice
The initial post said this was for a 350Z, which is a totally different car with a different motor (VQ35 in the 350, VG30 in the 300ZX.) Don’t assume that it will be as easy on your Z car as it was on his Z car, or even possible for that matter. Why bother comparing the two?
i asume that was a misstype, because the car in the pic is a 3.0 sitting in a 300zx engine bay
says 3000 on the intake
radiator support is definantly 300zx
no …it is a 350Z s/c and the pic below it is the 350 s/c in a n/a 300zx
i dont think you are going to get very far with only 2k. i would think at the very least you would need the s/c, ic + piping, fuel pump, larger injectors, ecu retune to cut some wot timing and rescale for larger inj’s, and a few other odds and ends.
Don’t hate the Nissan. The Nissan is your friend.
haha rep for you my friend
