Paul S owns a smog shop in South San Francisco and contacted us about making his Infiniti G35 a “sleeper”. You know, the kind of car that looks very stock from the outside but gets down like the “other” high-hp cars coming out of Z Car Garage. We discussed options for forced induction and decided on a Vortech supercharger–making good power and having CARB legal status was very attractive.

The VQ had 98k miles and to prepare for boost we performed some preventative maintenance including a thermostat change.  The Vortech kit was the V3 model which is self-lubricating and polished:

We installed a JWT HD Clutch and Flywheel:

On the dyno we started with a baseline of 260hp/253tq and with UPREV tuning the V3 made 401hp/332tq. Gains of 141hp/80tq to the wheels!

We hope you are enjoying the ride in your 400whp sleeper Paul!
