Hey all, I just threw out a couple emails around the place to get a few quotes on superchaging my V35,

Just wondering if any of you have SC'd your V35 or have any recommendations of a good garage from personal experience,

annnnd what Id be looking at for a general quote so I dont get ripped off, Im already guessing around $5500 for the SC but what shud I expect for install/labour + tune etc, maybe around $8000-$9000?

I dunno help me out here,

Cheers guys,

Brenton

The big issues with supercharging is, that to do it properly, you really need to decompress your motor somewhat, which really means engine out full rebuild. So once you add $5k in rebuild/major service parts, plus removing/reinstalling the engine ($1,000-$2,000), plus labour for rebuild (1,000-$2,000), THEN add on top labour to fit and tune the SC ($3,000-$5,000), it is a pretty expensive exercise, to say the least.

But with 300rwkw it would be all worth it :)

Going to have to disagree with night crawler.

It's not the compression of the motor in itself that is the problem. You have to get the car tuned, therefore all of the timing figures are going to change to be safe for the pressure your running so det isnt an issue.The problem with the stock motor are the connecting rods are weak. However they should not be near their limit with the std pulley on the Hks kit. If you are shooting for big numbers then you will have to rebuild and lower the compression as nightcrawler said. Neither will you get 300kw with a sc kit. Expect off the stock kit 210 to 230kw at the rears depending on how happy the dyno is.

I would be suprised if a shop could do it for 8k. I don't see how when you think about the cost they are going to charge you for engine management as well. Plus you will need supporting mods as well like a shift kit and cooler if auto, brakes if no brembos, and suspension. Myself and a mate have installed a Hks sc on a 350z. You might have already contacted him.

Depends on how much boost you want to run, low boost with 98 RON fuel and you should be ok. (assuming stock injectors can keep up.)

If you want to start running higher boost, then you need reduce your engine compression ratio.. doesn't matter what you do with the timing, if cylinder pressures get too high for the fuel you run, you will get detonation, which will quickly destroy your engine.

I wouldn't recommend stock injectors. They are small, like 310s or 330s or something. On my car they would be 100% duty if i still had them in. You really can only run low boost on the stock block. Put it this way, at 6psi, I have gained bout 70kw at the wheels.

Run 600s or 1000s if you want e85, bigger pump. You need a bigger afm if you go above about 4psi if not going to maf less.

I would suggest you only go as big as you actually need with injectors. If you only need 500cc.. then just get 500cc. The only positive with running anything larger is they will cope with more demand down the track, everything else is a negative, poor economy, poor idle, etc.. under light engine load (which is going to be the majority of the operating conditions), it will be a bit like the ECU trying to measure out exactly 5.25ml of fuel using only a 10L bucket..

There is something called headroom that you need when choosing injectors. You don't want to run them at 95% because when you ask a little more of them ie cooler conditions, or a boost malfunction, they will lean and damage your motor.

Those symptoms might be true with eBay shit high flow injectors, where some one has drilled holes in the bottom. But if your talking about good quality injectors, it's not a problem. My idle is perfect, even with bigger afm and 600s. Really it's not pushing any limits. And you need a good tuner to get the basics spot on to get it perfect.

So therefore proven recipe 600 on pulp, 1000 on e85

When i was looking at doing a SC kit i was going to buy the full kit from HKS, it comes with, ECU plugin, injectors and i think fuel pump its a full bolt on kit dont need to buy anything else for it, but as they guys are saying if u want more then 6 pound boost u need to forge internals and thats about 5k worth including parts and labour in that.

Buying that whole kit is one of the biggest mistakes you could make. Your injectors are just a 7th injector. You have a Hks computer which only 2 or3 people in sydney can tune, and it's hideously expensive to tune. Better off saving the 1g and doing it properly.

Plus by the pics it just looks like a piggyback Fcon iS.

There is a used v35 kit on yahoo Jpn at the moment.

So 1. its ridiculously difficult to just go out and go "hey I want this SC on this car, GO"

and 2. you guys rekon its just better keepin it relatively stock(as in) and grabin a 34GTR ye?

Sounds good T4NK did u seel ur V35 and grab 34GTR or just have both? If I do that option Id have both, Insurance go through the roof though :P

Depends on what you are after. if you want a high performance AWD car, with scope for some good power gains without needing to do major internal engine work (unless you want to go silly), then the GT-R is the better option by far. there are heaps of aftermarket options out there, plenty of people who have been down the track of modifying a GT-R and able to offer advice, and you shouldn't have too much trouble finding someone who knows how to tune it for you.

On the other hand, if you want to keep your comfortable daily cruiser, but just want a bit more 'stick', then go the FI route on your V35, just be aware, even mild boots is going to cost you a premium to do it properly.

^^^^ what he said.

On your number one point, no its not hard. Just expect to reach deep into your pockets. If you can do work yourself, and do some research into it, Rather than just taking whatever is in a kit, then it works out much cheaper.

Remember, gtrs have their failings too. You might go get one, and spin a bearing in your first week. Hello 8k basic rebuild.

Cost for cost, once and engine rebuild is taken into account the V will not disgrace itself against a gtr in a straight line. It doesn't have the benefit of awd, but it is also more comfortable and easier to drive IMO. And you'll never end up with oil in the rockers in a vq!

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
