This engine kicks ass in stock form, but has anyone heard anyhting about a turbo or supercharger for it? The arrogant dicks at Stillen laughed at me when I asked....

NEW INFO BOYS AND GIRLS!


Pathfinder Supercharger 3.5L (V6) Nissan

We plan to start development of the 3.5L Aqua-cooled supercharger on a 350Z (has the lowest hood clearance) sometime near the end of February now. This kit will probably be using the Eaton MP90 (new 5th gen.) roots type blower, with the self contained "aqua-cooled" liquid-to-air intercooler system, with the heat exchanger built in to the intake plenum (like our 2.7L Hyundai application). Running about only 5-lbs/psi of boost, we should be able to produce close to 60-hp gain at the wheels, hopefully without any ECU management (but can if needed)! As with the above application, we will develop a stage one, and possible stage two "official" upgrades once the kit has been CARB certified as well. If all goes as planned on this application, look for it's availability around the tail end of June, or early July `03. To answer your specific question, we "assume" this application will work on the newer Pathfinder's as well as the new Murano, and Infiniti FX350, but with minor modifications for the differences in air intake plumbing. Within a month or two of having this available for the 350Z, should have versions for your model, and the others mentioned as well.
