CaptainSensible Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Stumbled on this last night, does anyone know if its a service still on offer from Middlehurst? £4,800 for a fully fitted supercharger with warranty would be a very popular deal methinks! http://www.evo.co.uk/carreviews/evocarr ... _350z.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southernspeed Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 That was 2004, I'd expect that to have almost doubled by now! Abbey have just fitted an HKS one which looked almost factory fit and didn't need any bonnet mods. I think that gave 380 odd horse but don't remember the costs. Could be worth giving them a call Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andlid Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Sounds like a steel to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Sounds like a steel to me Even at the time I dont think they actually did it for that price. Someone will be along to confirm, but I'm not sure they ever fitted one to a customer car - I certainly never heard of one. Certainly wouldnt be that price now!

Could be worth giving them a call Spoke to Mark @ Abbey recently as I was toying with the idea of going S/C and was told roughly £9k for a supplied and installed HKS kit with remap.

Sounds about right for the basic kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone will be along to confirm, but I'm not sure they ever fitted one to a customer car - I certainly never heard of one. Certainly wouldnt be that price now! When I was looking at Supercharged Z's last year I looked into two that had Stillen Chargers fitted, both had receipts from Middlehurst for the installation and I contacted them regarding one of the cars and they confirmed the work, so they did do this service. However, I'm sure it was a bit more than what was stated and as said above if they do carry this out still it will be MUCH more now I suspect. Worth giving them a call if your interested in the Stillen though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Wasn't there a GM car with a stillen fitted by MH for sale a few months ago? It was one that had an engine rebuild aswell. I think someone went to look at it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andlid Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Like the stilen kit, would have been an option instead of forging the engine for 400+ also not heard any build or reliability issues with these... actually as I type this its not them its novidem I'm thinking about.... ;-) isn't abbey going to stock their entire list now? Maybe tarmac already has this kit lined up? Anyway go go FI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James B Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Sent Middlehurst an email asking if they still do that install and supply and what it costs now. I'll post their response when I get it back....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two I was referring to were simply the ones that were for sale at the time of me looking. I'm sure there is a hand-full more out there.

Chris`I Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Wow - didnt realise there were so many out there that were done by Middlehurst. Learn something new every day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Mcgoo Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Mike's wasn't done at Middlehurst, I think he done a lot of it himself. I've still only come across the 2 I saw last year that I know were done there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe tarmac already has this kit lined up? Anyway go go FI The Novidem 380bhp setup in my car has caused no problems and feels great. I have now driven 50.000km with it and it had done about 20.000km with the kit on when I bought the car. I fully recommend a supercharger setup by Novidem.

It is 'in your face' but thats obviously what he was after. I think it's good not to be sheep and have a bit of individuality. You won't see another one the same will you.
