Going to Specialty-Z tomorrow! Supercharger consultation :)

Hey guys,

Based off of recommendations from here, and from reading around, I'll be heading up to Chatsworth tomorrow to talk to Sebastian about supercharging my 08 G37s coupe.

​​​​​​We've been going back and forth via email for a while now, and dang, these guys know their stuff. They are aware of a whole host of G specific issues that can come up when going FI.

To be updated, with pics! (This is only the consultation, work coming soon)

Bonus pic.. Got my 275's in the back (Nitto NT 05) , put the 245's up front.

Nothing set up yet! I'm not sure what their work backlog is.

So it looks like we are a go. A-A upgraded supercharger by Topgunz. Si wheel, EcuTek, Invidia exhaust and more.. Lot's of good stuff 👍

Stay tuned for more. We're a little ways off from the work, but getting close!

P. S. Seb's car is insanely fast, for those of you that know.

I'm surprised they're using the ecutek to tune as they seem to love Haltech.

All street, even the high flow cats will have resonators (separate, but in line). Tuning for 91 octane, I'd say we will hit 450 to the wheels, if not a tad less. I'm not going for massive HP here, we're using the Vortech Si wheel.
