HKS Super Charger Coming to my AWD

I jumped on a deal for HKS Supercharger from a guy on my350Z.com,

Paid him deposit & now just waiting for him to uninstall from his Z, pay the rest & ship to me.

Found a local shop who is HKS Pro Dealer, the shop is confident to be able to
install for me. He has access to AWD dyno.

I am scared, hope my tranmission will hold. He said Engine no problem,
the HKS will only bring it to ~300 Wheel HP, the weak point is 5AT transmission, although the risk is smaller than Vertex, but not bullet proof like Stillen.

With 300whp, your tranny will hold up fine.

Talk to XMAN to get an idea of what to do about the tranny. He's running a vortech IIRC

The installer said I need 3 gauges:

Ranked by importlance:

Boost>EGT> A/F Gauge Wideband


This is a 80 HP SC, not Turbo, could I skip the EGT? & just get Boost & A.F?

Your *installer* recommended EGT? That's odd. But know, I don't think you'd need the EGT.

He must be mixing it up with turbo.

Could some one suggest
a brand & model on the gauges Boost & A/F?

I see a bunch on ebay at good price, just want to make sure it works with our car.

Does it have to be electrical ?
Does it has to be wide band?
Does it matter what brand?

Sorry, I didn't realize it's full. I cleaned it up.

If I get one of this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/AEM-U...spagenameZWDVW

and one of this:

http://www.cardomain.com/item/ATM4776

Would that be enough? Both including sensors, so I assume they are both complete system? The Boost is electronic, the A/F is wideband.

Are there better deal out there?

On the trans,the stock ECU cuts back cylinders and timing on shifts for safety.Mine has the Level 10 VB and TC and is getting the full rebuild with better cluch material and an additional clutch and steel.
VB alone will take you over 400hp

brnjug,

Are you running AWD? I don't know of any boosted FXs running AWD.
