Hi guys,

Have recently seen quite a number of 350Z with super charger for sale. Have no experience in VQ before and was wondering is it a good idea to do so provided that supercharging kit from HKS or others.

Can the stock internals take the extra psi and is it worth it to put the engine to the stress for the extra power gained? just to find out more prior making decision here though. cheers!!

Unless you go for HKS Supercharger Kits which it comes along with a ECU, then your engine will be fine and noting much to be worried about. Bared in mind that, all those P&P ECU mapping are not as good as others ECU (something like V Pro, PFC, Emanage and etc...). But it will work fine with the charger and also the engine. If you have another ECU, you can always tune it to work with the charger and you can gain more hp from it!

For a car with its girth and horsepower, Isaac Newton himself would testify that the 2012 Nissan GT-R shouldn’t be able to do the century sprint in three seconds flat but the supercar slayer does just that and just to drive the point home, gets it captured on video.

Weighing in at just over 1,700kg and packing a 530hp with 607Nm of torque punch, it would be insane to dismiss it as nothing spectacular but...
