i asked my mechanic about the pulleys he said it was fine. ill read more into it. yea i heard that you need big inches to reduce lag but really there is only lag in first gear and even then you wouldnt want to much power in first gear to begin with, tranny and tires could become a problematic if it boosts way early in first. then its all up to tuning. most ppl keep the utech cuz its convenient but having a stand alone makes a big difference but they are pricey. it looks like you have a nice build there but maybe you have lag because ur turbo is to big? unless you have plans of building a car youd want to use a smaller turbo quicker spooling?

either way i love this kit! its unique and it sounds awesome! but i see that your kit does look a bit different from the kit i saw on the 350z i was in.

yea for sure. ^

superchargers btw are higher maintenance then rear mount turbo kits lol. and about the snow friendliness emmmm lots of torque of the go + snow = drift no matter wat even stock the G is not friendly in snow i drove mine all winter i love drifting lol. superchargers are good for the city, good pick up of the go and they make good power. i just dont know if i could take the supercharger wine for as much as i drive. if u do supercharge u gotta give me a drive because i wanted to supercharge mine wen i first got it but then i decided turbo.

I supercharged the g i had before this with a vortech supercharger, and rebuilt the engine. Changed out the internals, pistons, rods errything. It was an auto to so had the valve body upgraded to, i loved the whine but yea some ppl thought it was to loud.

technically, we can can't he? but i think the ECU would get confused with the supercharger and turbo pushing at the same time..

thats a really good question and iv asked around and the answer is:

YES. but... its about $$$$$...

i need a fully build engine from z1 = 6000$
supercharger = 7000$
ECU = 2000$ <-- european
intake system fusing both systems about 1200$
Special cut cams 2000k
driveshaft = 1500$
tranny build = 3500$

labor = 5000$

HP~1000+

and that ^^^^^ is my dream G lol

hmmm.. so with an extra 30K, your telling me, i can be driving around a 1000+ HP G and murder pretty much any car on the road?

Lets say if a 335ci is about 60K, a used G with the mods above will be cheaper , car will look better, rape the 335ci 2 times in a row during the same run...

Not a bad idea... i wish i had the money...
