Guest ON3GO Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 i havent heard anybody ever using a VG33ER in any Z yet. its a good motor and with the VG30DETT heads it would be a great motor. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80LS1T Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 I have driven a SC Frontier and I was NOT impressed. You couldnt even tell it was SC'd, other than a tiny squealing noise from the SC(normal SC noise). Im sure if you put some differnt parts on it and tuned it for a light weight car it could be nice but a truck engine in a light weight car is not ideal because all the power is set up to be down low.

Guest ON3GO Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 that motor is pretty light, and its really detuned from the factory. its like any other VG motor and they can make plenty of power. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 Is there any way to re-bias the supercharger for more high rpm power? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandonsZ Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 It's an air compressor, so you could play with the compression ratio of the engine and the pulley size. If you give it a slightly bigger pulley and increase your compression slightly, you'll get less boost, but at the higher end it'll have more. IT's not like a turbo though. This is probably not wise but you could lower the compression on your engine and then step down the pulley size of the SC and that will give more boost over the entire range, but I don't know what the optimum is. You might end up with a nice fireball if you are lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
