SleeperZ31 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Okay, im not new to Z cars of the 80s OR to roots style superchargers (eatons especially) BUT ive always worked on factory-boosted engines and heres my dilemma i hope somebody can solve... Ive got a pristine shape 87 NA ZX with a heavily upgraded cooling system, ported/polished heads and stage 1 cams along with full-tube headers/cat-back and im looking into the supercharger off of a xterra..from what ive seen and been told it WILL bolt up with the xterra lower plenum BUT the xterra has a serpentine sytem so what would i need other than the crank pulley to make this blower even turn? Also, as previously stated, ive never boosted a NA engine, i know knock is a issue but 93 octane should help with that, ive already got a better fuel system i just dont know how to make the ECU recognize boost or even run with the blower attached! any ideas on what id need to make this setup work?! knock sensors, MAP sensors, maybe a different ECU (the xterras?) getting it hooked up shouldnt be to much hassle im just envisoning myself lost in a rats-nest of wiring and something blowing up/catching on fire.. im open to any and all constructive critiscism BUT im not interested at all in turbos, the vg30et or suggestions to drop in such a motor, ive always stuck with roots and always will i just need some Z expert help!
