3.5L Supercharger!

[BigDankCloud]

O man. Im going to start working another job just for this, and larger 9" or wider tires.

[Hussain]

I purchased my base 2.5s for $31000 out the door, and a 3.5se would have been $35000. I couldnt afford an extra $4000 at the time, but now that I have paid off my car (which most of you probably havent, especially 3.5's) I am looking to possibly make some major upgrades.

my dad paid $29,000 out the door for my 3.5se and here in cali the taxes are crazy.... WOW! Canadians really got screwed over..... and ya my 3.5se is paid off already (my dad wrote a $50,000 check and got my car and my mom's 07 Maxima).

My 3.5 is paid for. Wrote the check that day

I bought a 3.5. Because I could. I also drove a 2.5 and it was a very nice car.

I wish the crap about this would stop. 2.5 owners need the same consideration as 3.5 owners.

Or.... if you bought a 3.5.... AND WANT MORE... why didn't you buy a 350??

Really, it gets stupid after a while, and quite tiresome.

We all have A/Cs so let's enjoy the two flavors!

Ok then... you just lost my support..

But can we skip the nonsense and let this thread go back to its origin??

[packerjd04]

I was agreeing with you?

[mcheddadi]

oh the drama...

way to ruin a perfectly fine thread guys lol

[Rob.Vegan]

I doubt it you 2.5ers are all talk and no action just like the engine it revs and starts to scream up top but still dosent do anything except get you 3 miles more to the gallon

Since this was pretty much directed at me, I will let you know that i DID take it as a joke, just like my post was a joke.

btw, I could have gotten a 3.5SE if I felt like being even more of a spoiled brat but my parents were paying and so I chose to not take all of their money and get a 2.5. I love my car and sometimes wish I did pick the 3.5 but whatever my car is wonderful on gas, sounds and looks beautiful. I don't need that extra 100hp to mosie my way on through traffic.

2 speeding tickets later... I really don't need that +100hp

[dangeris]

My coupe was bought and paid for before I took it home! I got it for $28.5! With taxes, it was a little over $30. I thought that was a good deal.

Furgeson is right. Where does it stop. I myself contemplated on purchasing a 350Z Nismo because of all the options it already has and all the endless performance possibilities. One problem. It only fits 2 people and I HAD to get a car that fits my 2 little boys. Hind sight now tells me that I could have duct taped them to the trunk spoiler Ohwell

[dimitrinassis001]

I dont think most the people who have a 2.5 chose it for the MPG. Maybe it doesnt make sense to you to loose 100HP for 3MPG, but for a few thousand dollars obviously it makes a difference. We have not all been working for half our lives as you are obviously older than the majority of the members on this forum.

Now that I dont owe money, I could probably justify paying $5000 for a supercharger. If a supercharger came out for the 2.5 I would be one of the first to jump on board.

Exactly!

[Mr_Coupe]

ok heres my 2 cents.. this thread clearly says 3.5L SUPERCHARGER not 2.5. if someone with a 2.5 wants to make a supercharger thread or try to even get some love from sponsors by all means go ahead.. But don't complain about it go do something about it. im not discriminating against the 2.5 owners beacuse they should get the same opportunity as us.. However theres no reason for 2.5 owners to start asking questions about their own needs. If mcheddadi said the 2.5 was involved he would have clearly stated it. 3.5 owners wont get headers at them moment like the 2.5 from stillen that should be out shortly.. so u guys have stuff coming in..and i honestly think that 4 cylinder cars should have turbo not a supercharger and the v6 should be supercharged.. it can go either way but i think it should go this way. Blake did turbo his car but i think for us V6's we should use supercharge it. bottom line i havent heard any great news like this since blake and his turbo and that was a long time ago the 2.5ers got newas about headers and such.. even though we have 100 more hp i still would like to shine once in a while.

+1 well said my friend

Please explain where you came up with this idea because obviously you have no experience with either. If you would, please explain any reasoning behind your comment so we can grasp where you're coming from.

dude im not the only one that feels this was about the 3.5 being supercharged.. theres other people that prefer the supercharger. i just think its better because its more daily driver friendly and easier on the engine than the turbo..there are more 4 cylinder cars that are turbo charged thats just how it is...and i dont think you read what i said (IT CAN GO EITHER WAY). i honestly don't care about you bashing me saying i have no experience. you dont know me or who i am for that matter i came professionally and u had to come at my neck for what? whats ur purpose?

[Mackan]

I don't think it was his intention of bashing you man. I can't explain of what he was thinking, but I think he wants to know your reasoning of why the 3.5 should be supercharged instead of turbocharged. You know gave your reason - it is more engine friendly and I would agree. However, I am not saying that the 3.5 "should" be supercharged or turbocharged, that should be up to each individual coupe owner to fulfill whatever goals one has with its car. Whether one decides on a turbo or supercharger they both come with pros and cons.

The simple reason of why there are more 4 cylinder cars that are turbocharged is because of the simple fact that there are more 4 cylinder cars in the world. Also, a small turbo is easier to fit in a typical 4 cylinder engine bay than a supercharger.

[xkursion]

Soo...are you saying that there *might* be a factory supercharged one somewhere down the line, obviously way down but still. A co-worker had an 03 frontier SC that I almost (and in hindsight with gas prices falling again, should have) bought. I would definitely strongly consider the upgrade to a factory SC A/C. I just find that sound tooo addicting haha.

[marlin29311]

Happy holidays everyone!!! Lets all be happy that we don't drive Accord Coupes!!!!

[opekone_1988]

Yes, everyone just relax!!! this is a 3.5L supercharger thread and whether you choose to turbo or supercharge is completely up to ones personal preference. Each has its own advantages and I wont go into details. Now why would I want to swoop up my 2.5L when I could of easily bought a 3.5L ... simple'.. my 2.5L was 23K and the 3.5L was 28K, that’s a $5000 price difference and if I decide to throw in a turbo after my warranty expires i would spend like $2000 on a turbo kit, that’s still $3000 less. I also like those additional 5mpg (HWY) because I drive 80miles daily roundtrip Mon-Fri. Now do the math, at 5-xtra mpg for 52 weeks adds up to quite the savings. Also the notion of, why swoop up a 3.5L when you could of just bought a 350Z or similar? well because the whole experience of taking something and modifying it to make it look or perform better is why.. its a hobby and for some a lifestyle. ok' ill stop, i'm just rambling now. Looking forward to the Stillen headers.

nice

[Calgary35SE]

Typical american math... 28000-22000= 6000.... not 5000 , i guess you got a better deal then you thought.

[LinkNuc]

Hey hey now on the math thing, eh?!? I don't go lumping all you canuckleheads together, we all know Toronto dresses bad and thinks their New York. Doesn't mean all of Canada's people suck. I mean Manitoba's population density is 1.9 people per square kilometer, isn't that stupid? But seriously I can add two and two together to get five so don't go call a mistake typical American Math. Oh yeah and Alberta's real nice, lots of cows and trees and rocks and dirt. What's up with Nova Scotia? Isn't that the name of a bank?

Hopefully someone has an idea where this is coming from or I just pissed off a lot of Candians, or Candiens, Habs, whatever, lol.

Make a poke at the poster thats fine but to make a poke at all Ameriicans? thats messed up. And i thought all canadians went racist well sir you proved me wrong we have a great spot for you in Alabama where they hold great big ralleys and bbq's all you would have to do to join is quilt yourself a white gown and cap.

[Beak]

typical non american retort. by the way we all know how much power our engine has so you dont need to advertise (points at sig)

[Alt.ImaCoupe]

a better deal then you thought.

This was not called for. But when correcting others, it is helpful not to make mistakes yourself. What you should have wrote was "a better deal THAN you thought"

[spockrock]

Hey guys I was thinking about this I dunno if Nissan would approve a factory sc for the altima, two reasons, battery relocation and the other being buying a sc 3.5se altima coupe could be faster (depending on the boost) a g37 or 370z which could cannibalize sales.

[opekone_1988]

You bastard.. You got me, I meant 23k vs. 28k.. And yeah! Don’t go bashing all Americans because of my little typo.

[prlwhitecoupe]

Funny, I always thought "Americans and Canadians" refer to NATIONALITY and not RACE......

[LinkNuc]

I think of Canada as my attic. You forget that its up there. Then one day you go up there and your like, "wow, there's a lot of cool **** up here"...

I guess no one got my "Ontario Sucks" tribute from my last post...its a song from the three dead troll heads in a baggy....

Oh and Alan Thicke sucks...lol
