From >04 all 3.0 and 3.6 are drive-by-wire

Some pics would be handy. I am slightly concerned to be not using a non elastomer pulley where there was one previously. Every attempt is made to produce a vehicle at the lowest price, leaving a semi complicated pulley out of the equation would save some $$ for Subaru, however its on the motor. I would like to know the reason, their R&D discovered something over the course of time
I havent ever seen harmonic pulleys on their H4 na motors tho, any lump of metal is fine on the front end of those cranks - the lower weight the better
-
Question about lwcp
Does the OEM 3.6 pulley have the elastomer rubber insert (true harmonic balancer) that a 3.0 crank pulley does?

worked all day beat a modified 370z and then off with the wife to buy my sons first bed!

Is this the kind of Nissan you worked over?

back to ECS tomorrow for some fresh oil in the beast.

Sounds like a plan. What lube goes into your motor?

No words from Italian Legacy here, whats he up to?

That is also true it heats up for just a few weeks then steadily back to the ice chest
The Raptor charger uses it's own coolant supply, it's own radiator and own pump and own hoses and own reservoir
Pump is 12v electric - rated life 5000 hrs ++
-
For this application - 8psi, would bring in water meth or IC after that
Exceptions
Depending also climate at customer location. People in far north of Russia run higher boost non IC, no problem at all as the ambient is SUPER cold most of the year.
-
Wow, this is interesting and efficient indeed. Am i understanding correctly that charged air is ~85-95f ?
No
The air charge temp will be a bit warmer than that for sure, however at 4psi the temp rise is low
-
Your transmission runs ATF fluid - an oil
The supercharger system runs Coolant - Glycol/antifreeze
It must be a separate system
-
The SC has a water jacket on its transmission - coolant is pumped from dedicated radiator to supercharger and returned to radiator
There is no liquid connection to engine or any other part of the powertrain of the vehicle

It is not a 100hp gain. It is more like a 100whp gain over stock. That is impressive.
I am putting him at around 380 at the crank. That is almost 48% gain over stock. But, he does have a better exhaust than OEM, so not sure what difference that makes over just the SC kit.
From my experience with the 3.0, changes at the rear of the system are necessary but yield no real gains unless coupled with a header system - then you can say the exhaust has contributed to power gains and power can rise by up to 30hp. Have seen a lot of this before and after, changing cat back on a 3.0 makes next to no difference, but if headers added you know with full confidence that exhaust is contributing to final power output. I believe the 3.6 car will be similar as many parts are similar to the 3.0 in this area

The supercharger transmission is liquid cooled and has its own radiator and pump system, this draws heat out of the transmission and also to a lesser degree from the compressor snail. Basically a normal oil filled gear type charger in the hot engine area will operate at about 185F, the liquid cooled charger typically operates at 85-95F.
The lower temp of the charger means it compresses more efficiently as the air within the compressor is taking up less heat, as this one heat source is mostly removed. There is still the heat of compression, but the total warmth added to the air is at a minimum compared to all other compressor types, but only because of this liquid cooling feature, it gives you a path to unload some heat.
The SC trans is often same as your body temp or even much less if weather is cold
These early indications point in the direction of a beast engine. I have seen other others making this kind of power gains at this same boost level - Toyota for example
The upgrade path going forward might look like this - from experience with H6 3.0
Headers - +30hp - new total 320whp
Boost is giving 25hp per psi at this stage, this ratio will fall as boost is increased, always does.
Extra 4psi @ 17hp per psi gives + ~65hp. New total inc headers and boost 388whp.
Something around 360hp+ at the wheel would be an expectation that is quite real
-
It is 51% power increase over stock at 4.3psi boost. 100hp gain
Would be impressive on dynojet
Headers typically add 30whp on H6. That is next
System price is USD4500

Anyone from here going to Wicked Big Meet in a few hrs time?
If so, you can see the supercharged Gen V 3.6 at the ECS Performance tent.
-
As the man said, he is driving - we need pics here LOTS of pics, video of start and idling and so much more
Should be pink 565cc injectors in there. New MAF body
-
I think they were just a wee bit busy to be bothered getting it completed.
The install looks fantastic tho
-
It runs I believe, now to tune it up in hot conditions
-
Agreed... I think some water meth would be perfect for running nearly NA AFR's safely too!
I agree entirely and you have the experience on which to quote such a suggestion!
What is the Water meth kit of choice at the moment?
-
Lets get this EZ36 under a bit of pressure

Tradewind has arrived on this thread. Will assist where possible

I have 3.0R Spec B....does that count?
One would think so -

Does AMR touch up the shift points/quality also to compliment the refinement gained at the motor?
