supercharging

[khong]

hi all ive been offered a rotrex c30-94 supercharger i would welcome any advice about fitting thanks in advance

[Desey]

my advice is put it on

 

sorry

[glrnet]

I'm sure the SC posse will be along soon to offer advice.

[The Chubby Ninja]

I dont think theres anyone on here running one

[Ian]

My HKS kit was a rotrex charger.

 

Is it just the charger you have or is it part of a kit?

[Adem]

Cool.. my advise is to take lots of pictures and share them

[evilscorp]

If you have the brackets etc to go along with it then nice! What rotrex supercharger is the Novidem guy running?

[khong]

its off a hayabusa engined radical my knowledge is nil so what else would i need

[Ekona]

More knowledge.

 

 

Sorry dude, I know that sounds harsh, but you are as far from building an SC Zed as I am from building a rocketship to Mars. It's like saying I have an engine, now what do I need to make a car?

[khong]

i would not fit it myself just after some advice but then i suppose always some people have to be negative

[Ian]

If its just the charger you have then you need the following

 

Bracket

pulleys

intercooler

pipe work

filter

plus all the other supporting mods to install a SC

 

With the price of a Vortech these days, I dont see the point in putting together something like this.

 

The rotrex is quieter & makes better torque figures but you sacrifice on top end power

From a quick search seems 350z uses C38-81 charger (as fitted to bullet cars specs) but similar sized engines (3.2 V6 TT's) use the C30-94 so don't think size is the issue just the fitting i.e. the most important and hard part.

Get in touch with one of the tuners on here (Abbey, H-dev, TDI etc) and ask them. Probably your best bet would be to find a proper SC kit from GTM, Vortech etc and get a discount for not including the SC, that's assuming the mounts for the SC you have match (GTM use Rotrex iirc but even then you'd want to check). To put costs in to perspective for a later HR engine you'd be looking at £2.5k for a new Rotrex SC unit but for a full SC build you're talking £10k+. Even if you can get the SC for £100 you'd still need the other £7.5k+ unless you're doing all the work yourself (considering the above I'm guessing that won't be the case).

[khong]

thanks guys for your comments

[Darren-B]

Where abouts are you?

 

& as others have asked, do you have brackets, intercooler & pipework?

 

On top of the SC kit you will also be needing the following upgrades for a basic sub 400whp build:

fuel pump,

fuel pressure regulator

larger injectors

uprev tuning or other piggyback ecu

 

& then to make it a proper build:

uprev gt maf

fuel return system

oil cooling whether it be a larger sump or oil cooler maybe both if you intend to do any track work

 

& be aware the vq engines are torque limited unless you go the whole hog & build an engine

I don't think anyone is intentionally being negative.

You have such a monumental task on your hands that no one could tell you what you need just like that.

Please start off with some pictures and then we can take it from there.

+1 on this ^

 

 

[Tarmac@TarmacSportz]

+1 on all the above.

 

Sounds like a potential nightmare that will end up costing you a pretty penny.

 

There's a full page thread offer in December edition of Banzai Magazine for Vortech superchargers

 

 

[Ricey]

Nah bollocks to all that. It's dead easy.........try and fit it THEN take some pictures

[Lexx]

Anything is possible if you throw enough money at it.

Approach some tuners with what you have and what you want to gain. They'll give you some prices and reality checks and then you know where you stand.

But it would certainly be easier and cheaper to buy something like a Vortech kit from Tarmac or similar trader.

They never do. The amount of FI dreamers who sign up here is incredible
