i have a g35 coupe non-rev up, and i was reading about the hks supercharger complete kit.
im curious, i dont really want that much power, im just happy with 300whp and 300 torque, if i dont run it on that much boost, how long will my engine last before rebuild??? |
As long as you keep up on the maintenance of the vehicle, there is no reason why you would have to rebuild it. 300whp/tq is well within what this engine can safely handle.

really? ok thats great to know, good thing that im learning to become a mechanic, in fact im on my second year! :D
im happy to hear this, i have lots of friends with force induction, infact on of them has a tiburone running 10psi on stock internals, and hasnt even rebuild and its been over a year |

Go troll in the JWT vs. Vortech thread, k? thanks! Haterz like u, only make the game sweeter. The limits of the HKS kit, haven't even been reached yet. The HKS blower is more efficient and quieter than the Vortech (haha!:thewave:). Upgrade potential on the HKS is there, especially with GTM making custom pulleys and doing their homework on how to make more power than what is out of the box. There's nothing special about the Vortech kit and the recent qc issues and recall doesn't make it more appealing. Have fun with your Vortech when the bearings fail and I'm sure ur in really really good hands with RA:rolleyes: The JWT kits is superior to any SC setup, so I don't know what your problem is. My only problem with the HKS kit is that unlike the vortech kit, you have no way to up the boost on these blowers besides adding meth injection. Have you guys gotten your cars back with this SC installed or have charts to share? I'm very anxious to see what this thing is really capable of. |

You also apparently know nothing about the kit (It is very possible to "up the boost" on the HKS blower" and had been done sucessfuly already) and what has been done with in Japan, or at GTM. The out of the box HKS SC kit puts out ~6 psi. Marble's setup is pushing ~10 psi, and will likely be pushing more when he build his mote. So, how do you think the boost was "upped"? I can guarantee you that it was accomplished with GTM know how, hard work, and custom pulleys/machine work, and not RA voodoo magic:rolleyes: Word is there will be a release thread by GTM that will show dynos, upgrade options, etc, after their testing is complete. Patience is a virtue. But Sam did reveal this so far:

we have one more car that we are implementing meth inj with sc, and that will conclude our testing. Marble was in our shop and he tested his car, I will let him share is impression . stay tuned ,full write-up this week Sam GT MOTORSPORTS After all the smearing you have done to GTM/Forged lately on these boards, with Mods noticing and warning you, I think it's best you "bow out" for awhile and let things blow over. https://g35driver.com/forums/showpos...3&postcount=35 |

p.s. you have now destroyed your own thread, since I doubt it will ever get back on topic. The End |
Wow, I have nothing more to say to you Lawd'yu. You can swear and namecall and talk trash about companies one day and try to hide the next, but I'm fairly sure, in the end, you mouth will catch up with you.

Did I say anything about RA or GTM? STFU fanboy. I don't think I've ever raved about RA on any thread. Chill the hell out. So you can say all of this one day, then hide behind it the next? Oh, yea you'll make a great lawyer:rolleyes: If you talk trash about two of the most reputable shops in the country and base your comments on "hearsay" on my350z and here, and are just smearing like a troll, don't expect to not get flamed for doing so. Originally Posted by Lawy'dU why? It's still going to produce very little power. You should have gone TT and not taken GTM's advice on the HKS Supercharger. Damn these fools are hawking those like crazy. Originally Posted by Lawy'dU I wouldn't call either GTM or Forged personally. Their prices are way too high and they recommend a ton of crap you really don't need. both further hawk HKS products hard core even though they aren't necessarily in the customer's interests or cost effective. Originally Posted by Lawy'dU Yeah, I don't tout RA like it is the supreme. I chose to help get the word out since this forum has horrendously fukked over Scott for no reason. VRT is NOT Relentless you ignorant moron. Scott was fukked over more than anyone by VRT. Nobody has ever been unhappy with Scott or Relentless. Everything you see on the forums about him are nothing more that stupid FI section idiots and Sam and Sharif, pissed off because Scott is telling customers they don't need some of the crap that GTM and Forged push on their customers. A prime example is the whole fuel return system debate on my350z which Scott claimed to be unnecessary and everybody including GTM and Forged harassed him for. Low and behold about a month back GTM orders 10ish of the same split second boxes that Scott said negated the need for a fuel return system lol. And the reason I can't get the "quote" right, is becuase your trash talking got that thread closed. Also, Funny how your signature just had "Relentless Autosports" right in the front, but just recently was taken off...hmmmmm.:rolleyes::orly: Sounds like you have a bone to pick, or a mental problem. Either way, kindly move along. |

the reason why im going with vortech is because i live in bc canada, nobody here is an authorized dealer/installer for the hks gt supercharger so that pisses me off, and im not gonna drive all the way to calgary just to get it installed. plus vortech announced its issue about the ball bearing and fixed it, also gave an extra 5 year warrenty incase there is any awkward noises.
and im not going crazy on the hp and tq. i just want 370whp and 340/50 wtq. but is that possible with vortech????? |
i cant imagine how much "custom" pulleys cost from GTM. Only time will tell if the HKS lives up to all this fanboy JDM hype.

Update guys, just got off the phone with Sam today, said my car should be ready for pick up tomorrow! Wooooo! The thing is he couldn't print me a dyno-sheet in time because he was on the way to fly out of state to go tune cars so he'll print me the dyno-sheet when hes back. But off the top of his head he believed it was 380whp 336tq or 346tq cant remember, so im pretty happy compared to my 348whp 329tq from the Procharger, with just an instant SC switch and upping the pulley, plus the car drives x5 better, test drove it my self few weeks ago and ill let you guys know how the ride is when i get it back. :)
