Gusford Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Hi, I would like to beef the horsepower of my car. I have always been a fan of the supercharger approach as it works with your engine and not just hitting it with a bang like the turbochargers, but in today's economical climate beggars cant be choosers. I was hoping to know if anyone out there is selling a used/secondhand turbo/supercharger. I would rather buy a second hand one and keep some money over for upgrading the necessary engine parts. Hope someone can help. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I think this may be one for ZMANALEX. Dont know of any second hand units on here but he may be able to source parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurrish Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I had a quote from vortech (usa) of 3.2k for there super charger delivered to my door. As there are very few around you have got very slim chance of picking one up second hand around these parts....But with something like this buying second shouldn't come into you r options as it could easily blow your engine if something is not right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gusford Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 Hi nurrish, Thanks for your replay. I really liked the vortech s/c my first choice would be a stillen but a lot more money is involved with buying stillen. I could afford 3.2k for a supercharger and would love to get those contact details of you for the vortech. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurrish Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Go and have a look on my350z.com and ask about stillen on there......you will be laughed at until you are weeping like a little girl. If your serious about power then vortech is the way to go. Stillen is basically a baby in comparison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Martin, I have a brand new ATI C2 Procharger supercharger that is surplus to requirements. Give me a shout if you are interested. As regards a second hand supercharger kit, that would most certainly be the most cost effective route to take and do not worry about a second hand unit potentially damaging your engine as that would not be the case as it is all in the tuning and mapping. Cheers, Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
