Most likely candidate is the Stillen S/C. Word is that they are adapting their 350Z unit for use with the VQ40 engine in the Frontier/Pathy/Xterra. Price should be somewhere north of $5k. I think I'll pass. I have installed aftermarket superchargers on a couple of trucks in the past (a Whipple S/C on a Chevy V-8 Blazer, and a TRD Toyota unit on a 4Runner) and regretted having done both. Power was nice, but I had to rebuild the transmissions on both trucks and both units tended to eat drive belts, not a good trait if you desire reliable transportation. Another factor is octane requirement; my Frontier with Gibson exhaust and aFe intake is making 235 REAR WHEEL horsepower on 87-octane gas--that's pretty stout, and I believe that I'll stick with that for a while.teamzzyzx said:Figured since the older Frontiers were SC'd, I thought someone out there was going to produce a SC for the 2005. Anyway, reply to the post if you have heard of anything or if you do hear of something later on.
