AZ94Q,

As I have stated on this forum before, I am of the opinion that there is no one perfect way to introduce forced induction into an engine.

Positive displacement is great for instant torque and turbo is great for high end power.

Everyones opinion is different, but for what it is worth, my opinion is that the VH45DE has heaps of top end performance that you can never use in a residential area. MY goal was to simply bring up the torque level at the bottom end.

I went for a centrifugal Supercharger because I wanted to keep the engine bay as origional looking as possible. I love the infiniti logo on the plenum chamber.

Knowing the limitations of a Centrifugal Supercharger, I have an oversized crankshaft pulley and am overdriving the Supercharger so that it brings on the boost early. I have had to speed limited the engine so that the Supercharger does not overpsin. The Centrifual Supercharger has a linear boost curve that is not quite as exciting as a turbo, but I am happy with the lower down boost, due to how I have set this car up.

I have tried to set up the car somewhere between a Positive displacement Supercharger and a turbo. It might not be everyones choice, but I am very happy with it.

I am using a Laminova water to air intercooler in a custom aluminium housing and am toying around with introducing a second completley seperate custom Setrab water to air intercooler so that In effect I will have two water to air intercoolers.

Hope this is helpful. If I don't get back for a while, I have headed of on my Easter Holidays
