Zimbo. PLEASE give me some insight to your Vortech S/C
like does your car still run fine...I mean I know its more powerful and noisier....but I mean the way it runs ???

Is it fine but faster?....what I'm trying to say is ....No Stalling? Gittery, rough Idle....running lean or any of the other stuff I've heard that scares everyone away from FI on this car?

Do you have any other parts (piggy-backs on ECU) Or whateva you had to do or get done or even go to get it running fine but just faster??

as much detail as possible please!

Most people leave things out....I wanna know it all....please respond....also was there an issue with "tapping" the oil pan for the lube for the S/C.......or is all well with your coupe but its just more of a beast now??

Thanks in advance!

My car runs noiser but reliably. No stalling, no pinging, no plumes of black smoke. Idle speed is a bit lower than it was which makes for more forethought during shifting--but all I need to do is have a dealer set the idle speed (which I'll do when I have an upgraded flywheel/clutch installed).

IMO, tapping the oil pan is a good thing because the supercharger runs at the same temp as the engine and you only need one oil change to remember.

My piggyback ECU came with the Vortech kit but was custom tuned/programmed which I would recommend.

And, I have the 6MT sedan, BTW.

Any updates on the Dreanworks s/c availabilty, such as when, dealer support, actual drives, etc.?

 

I will keep you updated as soon as I know something... expected ETA is now mid-march but we'll just have to wait and see...

 

there is a pic on my350z site but, it's not on a car. it's just on a black background.

 

mid-march? What happened to the 45 day release from mid-Nov.? I guess we'll just need to be a bit more patient~

Do you think DreakWorks SC will give us best performance at low RPM compared to Vortech & ATi?

I also would like to know how noisy it is compared to VT & ATi... I guess we'll just need to wait and see.

BTW: is $6200 price tag including installation?

Loudness.. who cares!? If they honor our warentee with it, LETS DO IT WOWOW!

Thanks - Joey Avino

 

Loudlessness is not on the top priority list but I really don't want it to sound louder than my motorcycle since I drive 33k+ miles/year~ ^^

It would seem to this less than expert buyer that a roots type blower is an inherently better design than a centrifugal type, as it has quicker low-end grunt, especially for my kind of general around town needs. Are there any other roots types in the offing?

 

The price of 6200 is the kit alone.. installation will run you probably around 1500-2k for a kit of this magnitude...

 

I chatted with my service guy at Ramsey Infiniti in NJ. He knows alot about cars usually takes some parts home with him from the dealership. He heard of this and he said that he has heard of the Supercharger being warenteed along with the Engine and drivetrain but he has not heard anything about being installed at any "authorised" Infiniti / Nissian dealerships.

Thanks - Joey Avino

 

From what I read on the Dreamworkes site the warranty is 3 years 36K Powertrain warranty.....and it takes over your current warranty....which means you will shave 4 years off your current factory powertrain....which to some is cool but not me not yet.....this engine is getting great reviews but is still new....so time will tell...
I'm not ready for the trade off of 3 years for my current 7 years of powertrain warranty.....so for those that do get it, whenever it finally comes out, I wish you the best but I'll be catchin up to you in a few years
