Supercharger?!?!?!?

well... the 3.5L v-6 thats in the coupe... is also in the 350Z right?

so could a supercharger kit from the 350Z work on the coupe as well??

im thinking this because it is more beneficial for the motor, and safer for it 2.

and if this is possible... will the CVT transmission be able to hold that much more power?

i would like to know everyone elses opinion here...

i doubt it. that's like me taking a turbo charger for the spec-v sentra se-r and expect it to fit on my 2.5s altima. they are the same exact engine. but there's just alot of differences between em (engine bay size, mounting issues, ecu, etc.).

but the old saying, if you spend enough man hours and money on it, you can make anything fit anywhere.

have ever seen your engine bay? an ant would feel cluttered up there. and then why a supercharger?, there is a turbo kit comming out in january, and its gonna be worth 450WHP.

superchargers are more beneficial for v-6s and v-8s...

and maybe the supercharger won't be as harsh on CV then a turbo will...

but i need to know if that rubber band and the cones can take the extra horses in that CVT

450? Seems like a lot (approx. 500 flywheel hp)...doesn't seem likely to almost double the power...but as usual correct me if I am wrong.

i think it might with ecu management. but what u should be actaully concerned about is the engine, i dont think the pistons can handle all that extra power when the engine is redlined. i think you might need some forged pistons, becuase the manual as you know dont stay redlined when floored.

yea but i do know that wen i test drive the CVT ones... the computer is actually programmed to shift into the next gear if redlined automatically... just on the top end i can't be able to hold close to it... even though the cvt has a 6th gear that shouldn't be a problem...

unless im missing something here....

Major problem with having that much HP on an FWD is actually getting the power to the ground. With the power we're making now, it's almost impossible to get away from the line without burning the rubber off the tires. How you gonna do it with half again more HP and torque? An Altima with 12 inch slicks on the front would look really getto IMHO. 3rd gen Altimas can use the old LSD from some of the Maximas, but I really don't think one would fit your trans. and driveline.

I'm really anxious to see what is involved in turbo charging the coupe. This thread has really tilted my decision toward the altima (vs. mazdaspeed3). Subscribed!

I would love a small SC that would add about 60 to 70 HP, keep everything else stock, from engine to fuel management.

Well, for everyone with the 2.5 there is a supercharger made for the Spec V that should fit the altima. Its a procharger design. It can be found here: Revolution Autoworks, Inc. - Drivin by the need for Speed.
