just an idea... Superchargers?

[ball_silly]

has any company talked about a supercharger for the ac 2.5 or 3.5 just wondering please dont kill me if this was asked before lol

[phobs]

I don't believe there's any space for one.

[Hussain]

Stillen and Vortech thought about it in the past but this is before the car was popular and they basically said that the market wasn't big enough at the time for them to invest the money developing the kit. in the future there will probably be an available kit..... oh and also there is a hybrid altima race car with like 440 HP and it said Vortech and Stillen on it so i'd assume they got that power from a supercharger..... the hybrid altima has the 2.5 motor in it so maybe in the near future they'll release that kit.

[ball_silly]

thannks for the repleys the only reason i asked cause ive been working on cars for 10 plus years and wit performance issues i had better experance wit superchargers than turbo kits and theres not to much tuning aswell and once you have a turbo kit all you want to do is turn up the boost been there lol but its more reasonable i think than a turbo and god bless the guys out there that where willing to do the turbo kit

[adidas2go]

Turbo ftw.

I've been the guy behind getting a lot of stuff produced for the Altima Coupe, and I had a meeting with Vortech about getting this produced. Had a portfolio of expected earnings and everything. They didn't bite, but didn't rule out the future.

I also talked with STILLEN about this. The could make a system, but they would have to built an aftermarket hood to accommodate the roots blower, so they didn't feel it was cost effective for the altima coupe community.

However, the main concern most people are waiting on the see the outcome of is, the use of forced induction on the CVT transmission. I'm the first to put forced induction on the CVT Altima Coupe, and I've already blown up one transmission. However, we replaced the transmission, and corrected some heat buildup problems with a temp sensor, and transmission cooler. So far this time around, that has worked out good for us, and the transmission is holding up well. In time, I'm sure someone will see a market for a s/c system, but no one sees the market as of yet.

[RobPaulson]

sorry to be a bit off topic here . . . and if you dont want to share i understand . . . but adidas2go . . . who pays for all this?? you personally?? or do you get funded somehow??

Just curious is all

wrd, i'm curious also.

u keep yourself busy for us sir! you have done a lot and also put hope in the cvt for us folks. although its still too early for the coupe on a lot of products, i'm surprised to see so much availible as of now, especially now that we can go turbo!

[adidas2go]

Half of it was free stuff for prototyping and sponsorship. The other half I paid of myself.

this thread should answer on behalf of stillen making a SC for the 3.5.

Turbo ftw.

amen to that brother.

[HighSchoolCoupe]

bring us a S/C for the 3.5 asap and put me on the list of buyers

[adidas2go]

if it were only that easy...

[Racingline]

it's actually not "that" hard. There is a S/C'd 3rd gen 3.5 running around Quebec. and the design was surprisingly simple. That said don't ask me to develop it, cause that's not my area of expertise. although there was talk that he may forward me CAD files for the bracketry. Install is supposedly only 4 hours!!!!!

[adidas2go]

Hmm, it must be custom. To my knowledge, theres no production s/c for any altima after 2k2.

[Racingline]

correct it was completely custom, and even more surprising was the fact it was an easton/roots type setup

[adidas2go]

Yea, the belts are gonna be a b*tch to access for a s/c in this car. Everything is steel plate shielded.

The Roots doesn't surprise me that much. With the belts being on the left side, the only good way to access them would be with the roots. A traditional centrifugal s/c cant be done because the blower has to be where the battery is, theres simply no other place to put it. I think the best way to do it would be a RIPP Modifications SDS style, with the drive bar going across the engine bay. Like this.

[Infantry1327]

What kind of horse power is that S/C Altima throwing down. Is it even worth it?

[Racingline]

As far as I know there was no final dyno done, at least none posted. The only numbers confirmed is a 12.8@109MPH @ 5.5psi.

so I think it'd be worth it. Cheaper and easier to install compared to a turbo.

But here's another curve ball....... the eaton was setup on a shaft NOT on the IM!!

ask him the cad files, make a kit, do whatever it takes for us to get that sweet supercharger setup .

money will pour in the thousands

fellow nico altima enthusiasts, join us, tonight, we dine in hell! THIS IS SPARTAA!!!

[mcheddadi]

taz, you really need to get in contact with him to make a kit. this is GO

that altima is insane:http://www.cardomain.com/ride/642619

[adidas2go]

Ya I was about to call bs on those numbers until I saw his car domain page. With all those engine programs and Fidanza transmission, I can see how he finds 12.8's. However, just strapping a blower on an Altima Coupe @ 5.5 psi will not get you into 12's.

Joe,

That's an insane setup. It's innovative, but I don't like the idea of putting a drive bar on a roots style blower, mounted like that. Just looks way to risky because its not designed to be supported or run like that.

Like it or not, it works and he gets 12.842 1/4 mile time and it sounds awesome!!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXbTBEfowfAQuebec engineering at its finest FTMFW!

[adidas2go]

Oh, a lot of things in life can work. I just don't like it personally. Go ahead and do it Mehdi You've been screaming TURBOOOO for the last year, crossing over to SUPERCHARGERRRRRRR now?

[Racingline]

I agree I'd rather see the same set up with a centrifical blower. Roots blowers and 300hp on a fwd do not sit well with me either for alot of reasons. The altima doesn't need the lower end grunt a roots blower is known for. Traction is already an issue. Turbo or vortec or the was to go. But running the CAD files and getting the shafts and brackets made really is the easy part. I'm not set up to really do prototyping of this nature or handle the tuning. I'll supply the hardware, Blake you get Kyle to call JWT and they can market and tun the kit. I'll settle for a licencing agreement

But the setup is innovative and very impressive. I'll message him back and see where he's at getting me those CAD files

[Infantry1327]

To Super Charge or Turbo charge, that is the question? It really comes down to what is going to be the safest for the CVT, and still put out good numbers. Unless there is a big price difference. He said parts cost about $4800. Include labor and you are around the turbo price. If a good safe set up came out totaling around $5000, I would haft to start saving. Other wise I will be going with the turbo around the middle of 09.

[adidas2go]

Ill look into it.

heeey all this went down long before i was "jumped in" to NICO! now i rep NICO all day everyday YAY-YAY!!

this SC thread is interesting. . .

[Mr.Coupe]

I'd rather go TURBO... Oh SIHT I already have a TURBO. Its working out great and has been running strong at 7 PSI for about 4 months now.
