Hey everyone, I posted these on the NICO and FA forum, it is the current state of my F50 Q45. I'm hoping to have it on the road in a few weeks.

madness! So you ended up swapping the supercharger from the US chassis into your CDN F50? Got an extra F50 for sale yet?

[tbrack]

can't wait till Wes gets done with the kit for the G50's :D

[carlos]

tha is bad ass. the engine bay looks messy as hell though, lol.

[marksport]

Yes, it's a very packed engine bay. Probably why these cars have engine covers to hide the mess. The only thing I really added was the SC and the wideband controllers

[carlos]

what kind of power is that thing putting down? is it tuned? got any dyno sheets?

[marksport]

Nope, still working on it. Hope to have the intercooler finished next week, then alignment and start the tuning. I was told it be about 450hp, up from the 340 stock.

Still working on it, I'll let you know soon when both are done.

[BajanRoots]

Nice work... can't wait to see the final product.

Beautiful car mark. A part of me wanted to go the speed route and still does. What charger are you using? Please post sound clips of that thing in action

This system was made by Keulian Motorcars. They used an Opcon Autorotor distributed thru Kenne Bell.

Nice!!

So wait, US F50's had supercharger option? I'm a little lost as to the origin of the SC. Car looks great, just need to clean up the engine bay and put it back together.

no a US company put together a limited run super charger kit. Correct me if im wrong.

Yes, you are correct. At $10-15k per system, it's not that cheap and the current Q45 aren't exactly an affordable tuner car for most people. Just finding any aftermarket parts for these cars is nearly impossible without having to spend large amounts of money. I should also add that reliability for this motor is now questionable since it still needs to be tuned properly.

is that a full Impul kit or just the front bumper? your headrest screens are the nicest i have seen on a F50 Q most have problems with the mounting depth of the head rests. Yeah the F50 motor does seem to be a weak link, mine is fond of eating oil. But its not that bad, just you wonder why Nissan built an engine with so many problems.

D.

[marksport]

The front bumper is the Impul kit. The sides and rear are the Keulian parts. The headrests are actually I30/I35 units as they do not tilt forward/backward and have more room to mount the screens.

[dvp]

Nice that seems to be a more elegant solution than what i have seen so far.

[AcUrALiTy]

that front mount is fuckin crazy, nice q
