http://www.xu1.net/users/eram/home.html searched the other supercharger treads but they were based on belt driven versions, this seems to be a good idea, but at $500 for 6% max gain would it be worth it, it only operates at full Throttle. my car has a L20 fuel injected, roughly 70 hp right (im gussing) 6% gain would equal 4.2 hp is that cost effective, when compared to power gained. id like to keep the l20 but a little more power cant hurt are there any disadvantages to this method or could i spend the 500 and gain more from doing other mods. thanks in advance for imparting your wisdom.

OK, I have all the basic knowledge of how the turbo system works, and how to incorperate it with my early Z.. BUT!!! One Part I just dont quite get......... "Timing". stock 76' is 8 deg. (+/- 2 )..... 81'-82' turbo 20 deg... and 83' is 24 deg. 1) Why would you Advance the timing on a turbo system??? 2) Can someone help me understand why with a system that you dont want detonation!!, would you have the spark start sooner?? 3) Is there something about the increased cylinder pressures that slows combustion??? or do I have something wrong in my thinking this out?? Any help appreciated, aZcarbum

I was thinking of what some options are in intercoolers. I heard of GReaddy, HKS, and Blitz are pretty good. Would any of these fit a 240Z frame. Trying to get some opinions and an estimate of how much one will cost. Thanks

Just got my August edition of Hot Rod. It did a story on the "Pump Gas Drags" They invited 50 of the fastest street cars running pump gas. 41 showed up. Mark Eggers of Clearwater Florida wound up 31st. Here's the story verbatim. "Coulda, shoulda, woulda: Mark Eggers' combo of a 2,840 pound Nissan Z-car stuffed with 427 cubic inches of Motown small-block had the potential to take it all. Just two weeks before HOT ROD's Pump Gas Drags, it had run 9.35-second average e.t.'s to capture the True Street win at a Pro Edelbrock race-that's a quicker average than this year's Pump Gas Drags winner. Unfortunately, on the Memphis starting line the car bit more than it could …
