29:08 if you hold your hand up close behind a small object that won't easily come into focus...it will help focus the camera on it(camera focusing on stuff further off since dipstick is so thin...bring hand up an inch behind dipstick to force camera to refocus on what you're wanting it to). This looks knarly!
“...as the length of the video suggests.” I honestly didn’t even see it until you mentioned it. Lol. I was just going to watch it regardless. Good stuff as always! 😎
I assume you are running the stock engine mounts during this video. Any plans to do catch can instead of filters? Hope your wiring doesn't have any heat issues with the rerouting. Overall, good video of pointing out all the work and issues you've had to overcome.
Job well done! I have been waiting for this video. Sounds good and hope WHP numbers match your expectation. I am 90% convinced to go the same route however standard inlet manifold is my concern. Lets see some dyno numbers and real performance pulls. Keep up the good work. Regards from NL.
When you said 8-10 hours, I thought that sounded long for a bunch of bolt off and bolt ons but seen the dremel work. How much you think you saved installing yourself vs a shop you trust?
thanks for the series, have you taken it to gt dynoed since the install, what are the rwhp numbers? my only comment on the videos would be to ese up on the number of adds. i bit high imo. thanks
I monetize my videos after the first few days to let subscribers watch it ad free, in terms of the frequency of embedded ads, I don't have control over it outside of turning them off completely. I'll have to go back and watch my own video/see if there's something that can be done. I have driven the car for the first 2500 miles and it has run strong, the car seriously pulls, but I hadn't dyno'd it yet because my tuner and I have been trying to workout an afr+belt slip issue, and an oil leak caused my timing to get thrown off. I'm posting an update video soon.
Excellent video. Should you damage those the pulleys or the belt where could you get replacement parts? Its a shame stillen engineers did not do this in the first place.
I would speak with Aaron to get the list of P/N's needed for any parts that need regular maintenance. I was going to note the P/N's listed on the belt and buy replacements ahead of time.
Wow all the hard work pays off finally. I don't know if I had all that courage removing and cutting parts. But you should definitely reinforce the front bumper. Your life is more important.
Sorry, been soooo busy lately! I haven't had time to start filming follow ups! It's running strong, just having issues with belt slip, also a potential exhaust leak which I am trying to fix before we finalize the tune. It's pulling hard though, this kit is amazing!
Why are you going Soho over this kit? This kit eliminates all the issues of the Soho kit and makes more TQ. Not to mention looks much better with the hood popped.
Tuner Dub, the Top Guns kit is better imo for the reasons A Didis just mentioned. The use of the factory manifold reduces install time and is superior to the stillen manifold in terms of power. The top guns kit does look cleaner as well, and the color options make it more customizable. No need for the maf extensions which both on the stillen kit and soho kit are known to have problems. As for your question on guages, depends what you want to see. I already have access to afr readings through ecutek, so I try to look at gauges that present more info, like fuel pressure.
I was wondering when the crash bar was going back in and it never did...that is something for a streetcar, playing with fire there if the unthinkable happens. You need to find a crashbar solution ASAP if you have not already.
Thanks for taking the time to explain everything and install, only video on TH-cam that actually explains everything and shows entire build
Yessss !! Making builds convenient for us. Thank you for the DIY !!

Awesome work and video! Thanks for taking the time to explain everything so clearly.
Is the new Topguns rotrex kit a similar or identical install?
23:40 I have seen pulleys with tooths which would reduce possibility of slip.
Do we know the routing for the coolant overflow tank on the 2009-2012 models. Trying to figure it out but done want to mess it up 🤷♂️
Is the idea of changing the power steering lines so the plumbing will fit ?

30:35...it's awesome when a decade old dream turns to reality!
Did you have a hard time installing that serpentine belt? It was extremely difficult for me
does anyone know where you can pick up these sock filters? I’ve searched far and wide but can’t find any
Fantastic content. I would love to do this to my RHD HR if they make them.
Congrats on your first boosted build. Its been a dream of mine too.
Please make a video of the BOV sound
What hose on the driver side is that barbed hose from the bottom of the new coolant reservoir connect to?
Nice work, i hope to see a full review and this car on a dyno. Then I'll have to buy this kit if you can get 500 whp
You can hit 500whp easy on turbo and with much less boost
I've seen this kit makes 600whp .it should make good high 500 whp
Do you happen to know what is different in terms of the actual install for the rotrex compared to the ace?
Wonderful job 💯 ,hope to see numbers on dayno or hard pull video

Are you concerned about the placement of the pulley next to the SC coupler? It seems very close.
where u buy supercharger kits
From TopGun speed shop website. He is currently doing R and D right now and should be producing more kits later in the year.
Awesome work buddy! Amazing details at all times!
When you said 8-10 hours, I thought that sounded long for a bunch of bolt off and bolt ons but seen the dremel work. How much you think you saved installing yourself vs a shop you trust?
Depends on the shop but a few grand.
This is totally bad ass, wondering what it would take to fit my 2013 Infiniti G37 Sedan? 🤔 Nice vid, thanks for sharing 👍
The G37 kit fits right up, exactly like the Z
@@adidis1750 good to hear, will definitely be looking at this for the near future. Thanks for the info.
Hmm so will i be able to use eps throttle bodies with this supercharger?
Why not get the BDE or z1 motor mounts and torque solutions tranny mount to stop the engine from moving
Because I prefer the smoothness of non-solid engine mounts. Though this may be an upgrade one day in the future.
@@thecarizon504 not saying solid mounts, more like polyurethane

@@thecarizon504 Any luck? How thick is the bracket?
Excellent video realy detailed
And love the kit
I have the mk1 version
Can i do this with my stock engine 370Z?
What gauges and gauge pillar are you running?
Nice ! Hows the gas after the super charger?
18-20mpg, going to be doing a video later.
Wow all the hard work pays off finally. I don't know if I had all that courage removing and cutting parts. But you should definitely reinforce the front bumper. Your life is more important.
What oil catch can did you get in order clear the supercharger piping?
I don't have catch cans. I am currently just running pcv filters.
Dude, where are you? How does she ride? These videos give me confidence to do work on my 3.7 q50. Still lots of questions.
Sorry, been soooo busy lately! I haven't had time to start filming follow ups!
It's running strong, just having issues with belt slip, also a potential exhaust leak which I am trying to fix before we finalize the tune.
It's pulling hard though, this kit is amazing!
I love this car. Cant wait to hear it.
Excellent work 👍 Hoping to do this to my Z in the future !
Happy for you, man.
What happens to the windscreen washer reservoir?
Stays where it’s at. I’m doing this install on my g37 rn
@@xStaySkilledx it looks like the piping goes past where the reservoir normally sits (@ 41:15) - it’s not on the car in the video
@@Reiimondo he might’ve removed it for ease of install etc but on the 370 and g37 it doesn’t move. So I don’t think it would on the q50 either.
Fits q50?🔥 rwd
So pumped also waiting for a kit
Just received my kit few days ago 😎😎
Nice!👍
What guages are your running ?
Glow shift
@@thecarizon504 saving up for soho supercharger kit. What guages should I run ? The best 3 you think for a guage pod?
Why are you going Soho over this kit? This kit eliminates all the issues of the Soho kit and makes more TQ. Not to mention looks much better with the hood popped.
And this kit costs hundreds of dollars less.

Hey man,
Its been 3 weeks since last upload, waiting furiously for the next upload.
Thx Bro
I know, I've been really busy. Trying to wrap up an update video right now.
Hi just wanted to ask how much it cost you to do supercharged??
Damn good video
Will it pass smog?
@Jason so would he have to put the oem intakes back in to get it passed every time?
Texas does have smog in some counties but almost no one checks.
@@joshbwithaz9621 Yep. Hate those commie States. Glad I don't live in Kentucky with Moscow Mitch.
Got damn finally!
Nicely done 👍...can you help me out with my z too... can u install it too🤗
I was wondering when the crash bar was going back in and it never did...that is something for a streetcar, playing with fire there if the unthinkable happens. You need to find a crashbar solution ASAP if you have not already.
What do you do for a living?
what kind of question is that
@@j.a.3138 It's an honest question. If he is a mechanic or has any technical skills. Because he is unafraid to work on his brand new car.
Need!!!
Should have gone turbo
Ok
supercharger is more efficiency..doesn't have that bullshit boost lag that turbo has
Dose your car has turbo??
@@j.a.3138 he has a centrifugal supercharger, have to wait till it hits boost
@@hezharanya yep, sounds better, less boost for same power
