Default I just called HKS USA

I saw pictures of a sc430 at the tokyo auto salon with a hks supercharger kit and wanted to know more details regarding this unit. Sorry to get all your hopes up but he said as of now "no information on it". The possibility though has got me pretty excited, I was reading through the 350z boards and found dyno numbers up 80hp to the wheels and 104ft-lb more torque.

What do you guys think?

If its in line with the 350z unit, retail is $7,200 but the street price is considerably less.

I think you may need to wait a month or so and you will see something big for the sc430 from one of our vendors...

umm, but knowing the demand on the sc430, not sure if it's going to be that cheap though. seriously 7k retail isn't bad at all

the blitz unit is a twin screw, but it is 10k on their site Blitz is being very secretive on information about their SC430 supercharger. Not to many people have it, only one on this forum. I'm not sure why no one really has it come to think of it......

The HKS is a rotrex supercharger, and I hope it would be around the 7k mark. The wald one for 15k is murder....

And when lxogod said that we should expect a supercharger from one of our vendors!!! WOOOO, jumped in my seat!! I think I can say it might be luxury motorwerks? That would probably be even cheaper than the HKS?

wow finally some big aftermarket support for the SC430!!

Yes, that is what i was told when i called. I think it was +66hp at the crank

$14,086 before install for 66 horsepower. That is a joke. Take a look for yourself.
