I am also curious if the Vortech will work on the 05 and if it is CARB approved.

 

What about Jim Wolf? or is his kit out yet for the G?

I really like what I have seen with his stuff. I like the fact that you don't need to replace the front bumber and hood. He has twin intercoolers that match the lower openings of the G.

 

How does this "cool" the charge? When you compress any gas you get a temp rise.

 

The JWT TT is still waiting for CARB approval. They keep saying it'll be available this summer. Since summer just started, it could be anytime from now through Sept. I'm interested in the JWT TT myself due to their good reputation with Nissan as well as keeping the stock bumper with twin intercoolors.

 

I got the same quote too. Paul at Avalon Racing beat them by ~$30 per unit. Looks like the "good deals" of last Christmas are all but gone.

 

I don't care about CARB! I live in Texas!

 

It would be nice if it was available now for people who don't care about CARB.

 

there is no info on a 05 SC on their site but I just sent them a e mail asking for info. There is a difference between the 03 and 04 kit so i dont think they would work for the 05

 

It doesn't "cool" air as in lower temp, but it make the air "cool." (that's cool)

Where did this info come from?

 

HA! They were saying that when I was buying my kit in mid-2004

 

I am having a tough decided between which supercharger to get? Is vortech or stillen.Please can someone help me.I already have the cat back exhaust system from stillen and also the cold intake from them.With the vortech what is the additional horse power i will get.

Thanks

Obviously you see what I chose by looking at my sig. I believe that the Vortech SC is a better bang for your buck because it provides more power than the Stillen (even Stage 3) and does not require you to modify your hood. Also, you can tune a Vortech, whereas a Stillen has a closed box. I know some have figured out a way around this, but that's how Vortech comes out of the box.
