How Much to Supercharge a 370Z?!?! - Complete Cost Breakdown 

I started with some $10 interior LED's 🤣

Lol any mod that makes you happier is all that counts

I appreciate it. I am trying to start making videos again soon.

Yes, can't emphasize this enough.

Thank you! I don't get to pull this jacket out often but it's definitely been needed the past couple days. 🥶

"First time in my life" haha, I didn't have a snow shovel

Can it be done to a 09 AT or manual only?

Nissan should have installed a twin turbo on the Nismo model 370z from the factory considering they costed $49,000 brand new that way enthusiasts wouldn't have to go thru 12k in order to have a turbo under the hood of a Z

You could try just running a higher octane fuel. If you want to run pump gas and high boost then lower compression may be needed to keep the car running reliably.

Thank you! Let me know if you have any questions about the build!

220f is not 'high', the max oil temp this car from manual I believe is 280. At cruising it sits at 220f on the freeway during spring. If it gets above maybe 240 I would start being more concerned.

I’ve had a 34 row for the last year or two on my N/A NISMO. My temps dropped from 220 to 180 no matter how I drive. It’s worth it and I don’t burn any oil. But I needed it since I live in Florida and it’s hot as balls here.

@@thecarizon504 thank you for letting me know I love your content

Using the same intake setup that comes with the supercharger kit. No additional intake tubing.

@@thecarizon504 ohhhh I didn't know it came with extra intake stuffs

The supercharger basically replaces anything related to the intake. There's no regular N/A intake anymore just basically a filter on the intake of the supercharger which it's basically in this case a belt driven turbo

If you have an IG I respond to DM's

They haven't posted a lot of info yet. Supposed to use the GTR turbos, maybe make 8psi.

Thanks! Decided to have some fun with it.

I would try and upgrade your trans asap. Reliability will come down to how you drive it, how conservative the tune is, and how well the parts were installed, + maintenance.

It can definitely be reliable though.

@@thecarizon504 yeah I’m definitely on top of maintenance. I plan to daily it but on a conservative tune, 340 pump and 800cc injectors btw

I really appreciate it. Maybe the YT algorithms will bless me one of these days.

@@thecarizon504 hopefully man wish you the best🙏

400whp is not unreasonable, many people say ypu are safe at the 500whp range.

Admin Tune daily drives your same car on 612whp

I think Z1 sells them

@@thecarizon504 I see they sell Exedy sport clutches, but nothing about solenoids.

I decided to try having fun with it haha.

I barely have time to work on my own as is. 😆

@@thecarizon504 no problem, just keep that car running 👍

Yes, and the kit comes with it. 15 psi of boost, if you shut the throttle bodies and the supercharger is still being driven you will break something unless you can blow off the pressure.

Costs to have fun lol

Check the channel.

C6 is best all around, power, speed, and twisties, you're better off saving and getting an LS3 though, way more power. Stock they beat scat packs, and with a mild cam and headers, they'll beat a hellcat (ask me how I know) way better car. Unless you just HAVE to have a jdm car. My weekend car is my vette and my daily is a 17 FBO E85 Si which can eat fbo 370Z and scats (do with that info as you wish) yes buying. 370Z will be like 18K, but adding 10K (28K total) in mods plus car for barely 480Hp when a simple tune on an ls3 vette and headers will put you up there is a way better deal...also have to think, when will I have the time and money to actually upgrade my vehicle? The ls3 is fast enough stock.

@@sebastianblas3109 What you just mention is what I go back and forth on. Now seeing these pandemic prices it's almost the same for some 370s and C6. For that same amount of money I would be wayyyyy faster in the vette. Like you said as well a cam and other mods can beat a hellcat. That's impressive. Also for me personally the vette is cheaper on insurance in my area. than the 370z. Lol.

@@jaws2003 seems you have your mind made up, but before you do, you have to think about maintenance cost when buying ANY car. A vette is super easy to work on, and parts can be found at any parts store just about. But a common failure is the master cylinder on the early c6 models, but it's again, something that can be done at home by anyone with a jack and jack stands. Nissans are a little tight spaced, and belive it or not, a little more expensive to work on, especially when paying someone. I'm a tech so I do everything myself, but just understand the view point of money you have to spend if something breaks (which on both cars you should have an issue) 370's have some problems with clutch slave cylinders going bad (and you have to drop the tranny to replace it, as well as fuel starvation issues, but it's almost always fuel pump which can he accessed though inside the car, where on a vette, it can not. The tank must be dropped. Add me on Instagram @AFamilyC0mpany if you have any questions. I'll be more then happy to help

@@sebastianblas3109 thanks!!! I will add you on IG.I was looking up maintenance as well and saw that the slave cylinder would go bad. I have a Nissan Sentra with a manual transmission and my throwout bearing went out about 2 months ago and melted the slave cylinder. It looked the same as the one in the 370z.

Yeah I've been seeing a lot of the same. It's rough.

@@thecarizon504 ....wait... Eugene is making a TT kit? Any posts with pics on the forum? Boosted Performance is doing the same btw.

@@EatMyPropwash yes he is developing one jointly with another 370Z member. Search the 370z owner's FB page for 'GTR tt kit'

I don't think it's for sale anymore, tried finding it.

He looks pretty familiar...

I don't think they sell it anymore.

The top guns kit is easier to install, 620 has been seen on 93 octane and I just saw a guy get tuned at 650 on e85. Top guns kit also looks cleaner imho. And it's a couple hundred bucks cheaper.

Soho is a barely upgraded Stillen kit. Topgunz has a new Rotrex kit available that uses your stock intake manifold instead of the shitty stillen or DE manifood

I seen that! And I like how it uses the stock one. So convenient!

No, didn't upgrade internals, going to cross that bridge probably when I do ethanol.

Yeah I was just curious of what you think is best. I mean if you got the money of course build. But you see so many opinions out there it's frustrating. I have a 05 vq35de. And if I can get away with not opening up and staying dependable I would. You see guys put tons of power thru these things with never touching them. But tune is everything. I know the 370z is much stronger. But great job man. You spent the money where it counts.

@@hankstar.1 I've heard around 500whp is safe for a stock VQ but it's going to depend on a lot of factors

@@hankstar.1 there are quite a few guys running stock internals and hitting mid 600's to even low 700's reliably with proper maintenance and supporting mods. You can find them here on YT and within 370Z forums. A couple things that are important for the supercharger kits hitting high numbers is an A2A kit and hard intake piping. The normal stillen kit doesn't have these which is why it's only good for 400hp

@@GR1MR34PER33 whats a2a and its benefits?

Yes, but the topgunz kit is supposed to be carb certified in the future. The current rotrex revision may be possible to certify

There is a RHD TT kit for 370z, AAM do a TT kit, gonna cop it in the near future

Yes, there are supporting mods for both platforms that run about the same price.

@@thecarizon504 Great. Would you recommend this with 137,000 miles?

@@crod6431 Not sure I can give a recommendation one way or the other. Depends how well it's maintenanced etc, and the older the motor the higher the risk of engine failure.

@@thecarizon504 What mileage did your car have when you upgraded?

@@crod6431 55,000

Yes, I've heard of the extensive inspection process of The TUV. 😳

@@thecarizon504 u must pay for every new part that u put it on Your Car. Wheels/ suspension/ aero/ seats/ exhaust system. New is this year , that u only install a exhaus system with a ABE or EG certification. Exhaust like Tomei /amuse/ stillen / spoon is not allowed 😔 its a sad world here

I am assuming you are referring to the RZG kit, 5800 is hardly half price compared to 6500. And that price, like many other kits out there, does not include fuel upgrades, tuning, other supporting mods that I detailed here. I also don't like the idea of running intake and exhaust plumbing both under the car, especially with a lowered vehicle there is a lot of risk of damaging the plumbing.

Keep in mind it assumes you have nothing done already. With labor you could probably make it happen for 15k including labor from bone stock.

Oddly, it makes sense for me to do this where I live. We have RTA taxes and 10.5% sales tax when I buy a new car. All of the sudden, $10k makes a lot of sense, as my first year of buying and owning a brand new performance car would be over $10k just to the tax man!

name a car that pushes more than 500hp for $20k or less. That's pretty much the same amount you are going to spend to supercharge any car, sometimes even more..

@@j.a.3138 pretty much none, so i get your point. But there are cars that dont cost much more that can make 500+ with mods much easier than this car. 2012 c63 amg. cost 30k and can supercharge with supporting mods for 10k to make way over 500. 370z is 20k + 15k is a little over 500. It's not the best example but overall yes i agree, most ppl are gonna spend a good chunk to make over 500.

Right? I'm surprised when I see some people dropping that much on these cars, but some people just love them that much. If I had 40k to drop, deffinetely would look for something else. 🤔

@@thecarizon504 Yeah depending on your taste and what you prefer, i feel like if you love nissan, just buy the cars that already have all that available. The 370 is just a baby gtr with no turbos imo

you still gonna spend a lot more money to supercharge the GTR. the alpha kit 14x for the gtr is $14k alone. Now add $6k-8k in parts

@@j.a.3138 yeah but most people who buy a GTR arent even thinking of doing that. Most people have the money in the pocket to upgrade exhaust, turbos, and do a tune.

GTRs are like atleast 70k. Way different level. maintenance is more. just doing a tune, exhaust is expensive. 40k isnt enough.

And you'll still get your doors blown off by a FI 370Z js

I was wondering why you are watching this video given your thinking..

Simply because I love the 370Z. It was a dream of mine to boost this car for over a decade, ever since before I could drive. I love this car and wanted to see what I could do with it. Not to mention it provided tons of content for the channel.

@@thecarizon504 are you going to sell your Z later on or keep it

@@j.a.3138 i'm keeping it.

The 400Z will get spanked by his 370Z. I'm sure he can take most camaros, scat packs, and mustangs around here in Dallas too. Make them hop off 635 in embarrassment 😆 a stock GTR can't even hang with a decent FI 370Z
