Just for curiosity sake, what made you choose a roots style over a centrifugal charger? Were you looking for more even power delivery? I'm sure you could've fit in a centrifugal with the jack shaft in that same amount of space. Anyways, awesome build man.
I was looking into fitting a 350z supercharger on it but that would have been a big job and finding a cheap kit for fiting purposes was not easy.
I saw a picture of an Honda accord with a comptech kit and I told myself that it would probably be easyer to fit. I Found a used kit on ebay back in december and bought it but unfortunately, the shaft was not nearly long enough. But at least it made me see that it was infact possible.
Centrifugal, I have a friend who has an Eclipse V6 with a RIP supercharger and on the street it is fine but the sound at idle is not good at all. You can always ear the inernal gears running and I did not like that at all.

Not a party pooper at all; as far as I knew, there we're only a few solution for this.
- Extended shaft like me which I do not think is the case.
- Remove the air conditionning to make place for the supercharger.
- Replace the complete timing cover and put the 3.0 liter timing cover on and then fit a stillen 3.0 supercharger kit. (If I remember correctly, in this cae they are loosing the variable cam)
Anyway these are the options I heard about.
Transmission swap for the 6 speed. Swich over the speed sensor from the 5 to the 6 speed transmission (the six speed does not have any but has everything to install it. Nothing else required.

This was just posted on the maxime.org forum and trust me, you'll be getting plenty of inquiries soon. Nice work! This is the first time seeing this done.
i just wanted to say im not knocking what you have done at all its a great accomplishment. 2nd what did the trans run you?
Don't worry, I did not take it his way. Sorry if it looked like it. My first language is french so I may make some mistake when wording a sentence.
I was just wondering how it was done. I search a lot on many forums and never heard of this one. I was curious to see it as well.
Transmission was 1000. It was not cheap but there was not many of them in Canada and I did not want to have to import it.

Thanks, i was wondering when it would come out there as well.
This also got posted on NYCmaximas.org and some guys over there are really impressed.
Not to pry, but I hope you can share on key tips with your install. Thanks.
I have been toying with a self oil procharger and mounting it in place of the a/c compressor. Just have not had the time to get into it.
i was working with N2MB trying to get this accomplish (the stillen way as u mentioned) but we didnt like the idea of losing the Variable cam either....and i didnt want to lose my A/C compressor either..so this is awesome to see....seriously man u can really sell you ideas and "scematics" LOL to someone to mass produce ..you took all the R and D out of it for them...and i am sure that it would sell with out a doubt ..i would so love a low boost s/c kit just for that sound hehe
me too. nuffin like loud obnoxious whinning sounds from ur hood. just wish it could b cheaper to piece together. but still none the less an awsome mod. the creativity that went into this is amzing. that shaft is basically wat we all need to make tis possible
I am not saying I am making a kit, I am only trying to make a list of everything required.
The kit would need to be composed of (mechanical parts only, no electronic or tuning):
- Supercharger, Pulley and special shaft (The OEM version of these supercharger will not work with the two piece snout assembly.)
- Tensioner and Tensioner Bracket
- Left & Right bracket
- Thermostat Housing.
- Input & Output Radiator Hose.
- Supercharger Air Intake housing and Air Filter
- Supercharger Air Output Housing. (Different model with or without intercooler)
- Alternator Pulley
- New Main Drive Belt
- Supercharger Belt
- Intercooler Piping ?? (If Intercooled, would be recommended)
- Intercooler ?? (If Intercooled, would be recommended)
- Maf Adapter (If you blew your MAF in N/A then with this, it is going to be worse. You will ned to switch to a more powerfull MAF or to a MAP like I did and adjust the signal using a piggy back)
- Blow-Off (You need one since the supercharger is in front of the Throttle Body)
You would need to supply anything els and have the tuning done by you.
- Injectors (I am using 440cc for now)
- MAF or MAP ??
- Battery will need to be moved in the Trunk (the use of a very small battery could be possible in the engine compartment, would need to be checked.)
- E-manage Ultimate, Utec or some other piggy back that may fit our cars
- Of course when you have a car like this, it is always recommended to have a Wideband (Air/Fuel Gauge) and a boost gauge.
I made this listing quickly so I may have forgotten a few things.
Did you street tune it yourself? Any quirks or issues there?
Yes, I did tune it myself on the street and on the track.
Of course, there was a few "quirks or issues" here and there, it was my first FI tuning project.
But all of these had solutions.
The only one left is probably due to a bad design by Nissan, but I did not dig deeply to find the reason or a sollution to the problem.
On the track, I have have less than a 1/4 of a tank of gaz, the fuel pump will start to pump air just before the end of the Quarter Mile. The reserve inside the fuel tank is probably located too much toward the front of the tank. With a long and hard acceleration, the fuel is probably all going in the back of the tank, leaving the pump breading air when the reserve is empty. Anyway, this is my deduction so far. I would need to remove the fuel pump and check the tank configuration to be certain.
When it first happend, I was like "what the ... is happening?". I started to log each run and saw that the more I was racing, the sooner the problem would happend. So to make a test I went out and filled the tank to half. The problem disapeared.
It happend to me a second time but this time i had a 5 gallon ready.
That is the first time I aw or heard of someting like that!
