My twin turbo buddy in Brazil (Luiz) is sending me an ECU chip that he used in his car for three years, should have it in a week or so.....that should make me happy for a while.

But I've been dreaming about a supercharger for sometime. I think I have an avenue for a chip, or could find somebody to do it......

Here's a post of mine from the A8 forum a few weeks ago....wouldn't it be nice???

Okay, so I'm watching tuner TV last night on Speedvision and they end up bolting a centrifugal supercharger on a 350Z, it goes from 250 to 350 HP and something like 310 lb-ft of torque.

The company that supplied the kit is ProCharger, they have kits, but also have a Universal kit which includes the supercharger, mounting bracket, intercooler (optional) and I guess a few other things. Here's what their web site states:

The Universal Sport Compact Kit contains the C-1 ProCharger, 2 core compact sheet metal intercooler, universal tubing kit, right-hand or left-hand universal supercharger bracket, a Bosch surge/bypass system, and an air filter. Optional items include ProPump fuel pump assembly, FMU assembly, and a 3 core compact sheet metal intercooler.


So if I pull the heads, put in a spacer, reduce the compression, bolt one of these things on, then remap the fuel/etc....I'll have a supercar!

Pricing for the C1/C2 kit:

So we're talking less than 3K for the kit, plus have to do all the fuel and ignition stuff, plus make a bracket to mount to the engine.

Here's the specs on the C1/C2:

Here's the C2 in the Infiniti FX35:

Here's a C1 kit for the Integra:

Heck, if we could get another 125 HP for 4K....I would do it!

Okay, back to your regularly scheduled program.....

i would consider keeping my car if you could develop a working supercharger for the 4.2. =)

and messing with the heads. I think that without adjustable cam pulleys the cam timing would be off if you go the spacer way. Perhaps custom pistons may be the better way to reduce c/r. Certainly doable, go for it!

I can make a nice bracket for you.

Didn't even think of that....between the two of us, we could make something nice!

But -- how much power/torque can our 5HP24A transmissions take?

What transmission is in the RS6?
