Here is Rob to bring you a Vortech-Supecharged G35 update:
Deric is a mathematics teacher at a local high school and owner of this 2005 G35 coupe. I met Deric at ZCG and he was ready to increase the G’s performance or move up to a GT-R.  I let him know that the GT-R was amazing but he could certainly turn up the boost (pun intended) on his daily driven G sports coupe. We arranged a time to meet and made a plan for success. We hooked Deric up with a Vortech Supercharger and supporting cast of headers, cams, full exhaust system, and a ZCG oil cooler.


A full complement of DEFI Gauges in a color-matched gauge pod were added inside along with a custom mounted Link unit.

After a few weeks of tearing up the streets Deric’s automatic transmission started to disagree with all of the new horsepower and torque being produced. A plan was made to build Deric an “All out war” transmission. Sam at GTM was given the order and funds to proceed with a built gearbox. During a short few weeks at the wheel Deric noticed that the G was having trouble keeping up with the power….Slowing down became harder and the tires had this issue where they would smoke when smashing the gas in the lower gears. You will never guess what happens next…Boom…Axis wheels and Stoptechs all the way around for this bad G!!!

Next in line was a Stillen front bumper upgrade to get more air over that intercooler during the hard runs from light to light…Deric’s G had become a 3-Dimensional Sportscar enthusiast’s dream.
Before/After Axis wheels, Stoptechs, and Stillen front bumper:

Big power, crisp shifts, traction, and stopping with ease….Any student or faculty member leaving campus didn’t stand a chance…From time to time I would hear reports from Deric on how much he was enjoying his ride. He even bought his wife matching wheels for her Z. This family is serious about Nissan performance.
Latest news on Deric’s G…We switched engine management to UPREV, installed 600cc injectors and a Pmas MAF. All of the Vortech FMU components were removed, and the fuel pump and supercharger pulley were upgraded for more boost goodness 🙂
Dyno plots below showing the stock motor: 215hp/211tq, initial Vortech tune: 355hp/295tq,  and final tune: 388hp/311tq at the wheels.


Deric ‘s G is driven daily and this G is HOT for teacher!!!
