supercharged titan on the way????

mtofell · 01-22-2005, 12:32 PM

I was in the dealership talking to the parts guy and he said he heard something about a supercharger available.... he was pretty vague about it and didn't have anything in the way of a ballpark cost or expected date... he did say it would up the horsepower to the mid to upper 400's.... is that even possible? It seems like all of the driveline parts would just fall out from under the truck with 450+HP under the hood....

Nissan usually manufactures their vehicles at about 70% of design capacity, meaning that the engine, drivetrain, etc. is usually at 70% of the available HP, TQ, etc. that represents their max. available output for a given design.

When I got my 350Z, the engineers I spoke with said the VQ35DETT in the Z was only at about 70% of its available HP/TQ. They have to be able to enhance the vehicles from year to year w/o re-designing everything.

Example: the most recent bump (after 2 model years) of the Z to 300 HP from 287.

Hope this helps. Nismo usually brings aftermarket products for their vehicles that help narrow the 70% gap, but they're usually just other companies' products that have been tested on Nissan vehicles and re-badged.

Dare I ask what the Stillen will be going for?? Any idea?

They didn't quote any performance or cost numbers but I would 'assume' that it will go for somewhere around thier 350Z/G35 supercharge kit price.

The other info gleaned was it is an Eaton type.

Is this nissan venture going to be an available option from the factory preinstalled, or only available as a bolt on option? I would be willing to wait till October for an 06 with the extra HP and Torque if that's an option........
