Supercharger Kit

[d3v0]

I am really thinking hard on buying a supercharger kit for my 99 max but i cant find one. Can anyone help me out with this?

[brianw]

There aren't any currently in production.

A few companies have turbo kits available, but that's it. Stillen has a kit based on the V-1 from Vortech (later versions of the kit have the V-2) but those are long out of production.

rigt now stillen as far as i know was the only one making it and they discontinued it.

If i may ask why do you want to supercharge versus turbocharge

would supercharge be alot easier as well as more power?

see thats up to you to me i have always found s/c to be more restrictive than t/c for the reason being that its what your pulley can handle up to and thats about it one of the guys down here hated it after he got it cause he was stuck at 8 lbs so with me i am going t/c right now and the wonderful thing about t/c is that you can lower and raise the boost whenever you want and if you build the motor right there is no limit like witht he stock internals on the vq30 i am hoping to do atleast 12lbs to 13lbs safely sicne i got big injectors but once i get my built motor i wanna do atleast up to 20lbs to see what happens and comes out of it.....but that wont be for a while

TO BE HONESTits what you prefer a supercharger kit form stillen was about 4 grand on the turbo kit i am building fully custom my way the way i want it like Burger King lol i am spending half of that so yeah it all comes down to you and your pocket book plus.....i have always found s/c to be more for american cars had one on my 92 camaro, and my chevy s10 turbos on my uncles rx7, 86 peanut, and now my maxima....so yeah

An SC "kit" seems to be less effort to install and tune. I see the TC guys constantly twiddling with their setups. There are smaller pulleys to run as well to increase boost. Of course, with a TC you don't have to worry about belts tearing up.

As far as available SC kits, the one thing that is stopping production is the mounting plate. Some have tried to replicate it but Stillen has previously stopped them from infringing on their design. Kinda sux that they stopped production and did not continue development, thus no SC for the 2k2+

very true you do see the TC guys twiddling witht heir setups but its very little there is always need for improvement thats why......exactly what i said if you want to increase your boost its different belts and mroe pulleys TC you just push the up arrow ont he boost controller.....lmao

BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY ITS WHAT YOU WANT

also yeah stillen was the main producer fo the s/c klit for th emaximas.....now if you really want one of theirs you gotta get it second hand or make your own kit like a lot of people do.....me personally i am up for custom yeah its work and time consuming but hey you get it done the way you trully want it and you get to venture into a whole new world of possibilites

yea, I am willing to charge my max too... but my reasons were always...

1.cheaper.2.easier.3.more Bottom end4.I think 270HP is pretty good for my max to beat SRT-4s...

[nismo1219]

i think we should get some kind of "petition" going on. if there is alot of want for a TC/SC then somebody (stillen, etc.) would surely/hopefully be interested in supplying the demand!! i know i would definately be in if we got one rollin'!!

[audtatious]

I'm sure a fabricator could figure out their own mount design if they wanted to. I think the issue faced is the limited numbers that would be sold make it relatively expensive and potentially not worth the effort.

[brianw]

Exactly... the market is, well, tiny. Hell, just getting enough supercharged/turbocharged guys out there to get a 3" b-pipe done is a six month project just to get enough firm commitments, and even then it might not happen...

[d3v0]

man all i wanna do is make my max faster, my friends call my sh** slow as hell but its really not. i just want some help, i already have a megan cat back exhaust and an aftermarket short ram intake. plz someone help, i know it sounds corny lol haha but seriously help people

Look into a y-pipe for some additional hp. Lightened flywheel pully will free up a couple ponies. Light weight wheels will also free up some ponies as well.

There is always Nitrous, tho not as fun as a SC/TC

[brianw]

How fast do you want to go, and how much money do you have?

if all you have is a couple hundred bucks to spend, then you're limited to simple naturally aspirated modifications (y-pipe, UDP, ECU... or ditch the y-pipe and stock manifolds and go to headers-- but headers aren't cheap) or nitrous. Nitrous is by far the best bang for the buck if you're not on the bottle all the time.

If you have several thousand dollars to spend you can start looking at aftermarket turbo kits (not sure who's best at the moment, PFI and HLH had kits a while back) or used Stillen supercharger kits... by far the only real way to get serious power. Expect to spend at least $2500 by the time things are said and done for a used SC-- if you can even find one, they're pretty rare now-- or $3500+ for an intercooled turbo setup.

With your guys permission, I will post the other sites member that is selling his own V2 kits for a heffty price but it he made them himself and they are just like the Stillen ones. It is a full kit and if you think about it, it really is not a bad price at all...

The reason why I say hefty is because these don't come with the Charger you have to find the Vortech charger somewhere...

So you really just need 3 things and he has a whole guide on what you need.

1.his kit.2.The charger3. a few other things...

Than...

270HP to the crank on a stock engine... Enjoy... That is about 230WHP guys!!! and that is excluding other mods from what I am seeing...

Good enough to roll up to an SRT4 blowing off his valve until you show him you got one too and he gets a little scared and you beat him at the end... And yes you can put a Bov on a charger app. Incase no one really knew... lol

i really dont want to rain on your parade but with 230 whp srt-4 will pull on you my friends max has a remount non intercooled turbo custom made by us in the SW Florida.....and he is at about 330 now or somethign around there but when he started out with 250 srt-4 would pull on him in last gear or since he is automatic in his 3rd gear......now that he is at 330 he has actually beat a evo9 videos to prove it lol......but 230 whp now a days is not much and hard to keep up with you cant always go based on power.......ou gotta think weight, wheels, everythign suspension it all makes a difference on how your car runs and who will pass the line first...

SRT4s have 230WHP with a COLD IC... Those ICs get hot quick. So dodge pretty much rated the car right... I mean I know people have said they have 260HP with a cold IC but do you really think dodge would screw up that bad on the ratings? I mean it would sell the car more if people really knew it had 260HP in it with 230WHP.

The car is 200lbs lighter and it has a lot more top-end of course but I think with the bottom-end that you will gain from a charger plus ur VQ and a few other mods you could beat it at the end... but It probably be more depending on the better driver.

BTW. I would LOVE if you posted those Videos of a his max killing Evos.. I want to put it all over my EVO happy friends face... haha
