The Koyo radiator is a lot thicker than the stock radiator and we were sure that the compressor discharge pipe would not bolt in due to interference.
So try as we might, the compressor discharge pipe would not fit.
We had to cut away the fan shroud to make room.
Next we had to grind on one of the plastic arms of the radiator fan mount.
Finally, we had to cut and reclock the pipe. We also had to flatten it very slightly in one spot.
Howard rewelds the pipe after modifying it. If you decided to keep the stock radiator, none of this is necessary. When researching things, the Koyo was the thinnest high performance radiator we could find and there is not a milimeter to spare so we might go as far as to say the Koyo is the only radiator that will fit without major fabrication or switching to super thin aftermarket fans which usually don’t work as well as the OEM ones unless you make a custom shroud.

This was the best G35 Supercharge article. I wish you had a YouTube video channel.
Out of curiosity. I have a 2003 G35 Auto. If I supercharged my car (as it’s an auto transmission), do you think that I would have any issues with the rev limiter?
We do have a you tube channel. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRP6Ct5PePdhHa7sot9G8iw
Your automatic will work with a supercharger.
I know this is a crazy question, but I have a 2001 Nissan Pathfinder with the same engine in it that I would love to give more power and a supercharger would be perfect as it would also help with the normal power loss of running a NA engine at altitude (I live in Colorado between 6000-9500 ft) would this kit work on a Pathfinder? Is it available? Do you know of anyone who could do this install? Thanks! Tim
Hi Tim,
Please contact me on whatsapp phone number +968 92228188 will discuss about the supercharer for pathfinder
I am looking to buy a 2013 Nissan Pathfinder with 3.5 V6. Is there a supercharger that will fit this model ?
I also have a 2014 Pathfinder and am curious about installing this kit.
I have a 2004 Infiniti g35 coupe 6sm. I have Jdm engine in it now. But my first engine got to 270 whp and it broke. So I’m surprised how much power that car is making. I was turbocharged before and this time I’m looking to go supercharger. I have stock internals and would like to replicate what you guys did. Can I get a list of all the items you guys used? How long will the car last with 400 whp?

Hola, mi español es malo, por favor, comprenda. Es casi imposible ayudar con problemas de ajuste de forma remota. Para obtener más rendimiento, generalmente está limitado a lo que puede hacer por la fuerza del motor y el octanaje del combustible. El VQ no es un motor muy potente en stock, por lo que no recomendamos exceder lo recomendado por el fabricante.
Im trying to supercharge my altima 3.5 its very hard to find a kit for it it any links would be ton of help thanks guys…
Thanks for your time to put all of your work on here guys! Really does help to realise that these engines can be successfully tuned to good figures 🙂👍
I have an 08 E51 Elgrand, which I know is a detuned version of the engine you guys have tuned… I am looking to do the same to my engine, and details are quite far and few between here in the UK.
Any advice would be much appreciated 🙂👍
Planning to installe some added HP to my stock VQ35DE 03 Nissan Pathfinder. Can I ask for parts and product number also brands
Thank you for this very helpful post
Vortech is getting out of the kit market and more or less supplies superchargers to second-market kit makers. I would say google is your friend. If anyone makes a kit for older Pathfinders it would be Stillen I would guess.
With this work with a 07 altima 3.5
It is not made for that car, I would contact Stillen to see if they have a kit.
How much do you want, I have a 2003 g35 and I need a turbo kit
