Congratulations! You've found this page, which can only mean one thing: You're on a quest for more power! We have good news and we have amazing news. The good news is that we are currently finishing the testing phase of our bolt-on supercharger and have test units in the public, like Nissan's 2024 TARMAC SEMA build. The amazing news is that puts us one step closer to the final release! If you haven't already, be sure to follow us on social media for future updates.
Learn more about the upcoming supercharger below.
Z1's Nissan Frontier Supercharger Kit was developed with collaboration between our Motorsports and Offroad engineering teams. As we searched for new ways to make power on Nissan's new 3.8L V6 it became clear that in order to reach the goals we set it would be necessary to look for external solutions. When our Off-Road and Motorsports teams came together, the idea for the bolt-on supercharger was born.
In addition to more power, it was important that our supercharger kit offered OEM-like fitment and could be installed by the average enthusiast without the need for specialty or custom tools. Extensive analysis of the engine design allowed us to produce a solution that fits in the ideal position and eliminate the need for complex pulleys and tensioners. This made it easy for us to take steps towards completing the very first model and with the help of our 5-axis CNC, we were able to turn an idea into a fully functioning prototype in a very short time.
THE BLOWER
The entirety of our supercharger kit is based around a 1.9L Harrop HTV blower. This supercharger uses Eaton's latest roots-style TVS rotating assembly, offering unmatched performance in a compact package. The Harrop HTV supercharger's design features patented four-lobe rotors with high-flow inlet and outlet ports that greatly enhance thermal efficiency, delivering higher volumetric capacity, and enable higher operating speeds. The HTV supercharger is capable of running with high efficiency across a very wide operating range, producing exceptional increases in horsepower and torque throughout the RPM range. This is great for trucks in all use cases, from regular commuting to towing your jet ski's to the lake. The HTV1900 uses self-contained fluids and requires no services throughout the life of the blower.
Beneath the supercharger is a massive dual-pass water-to-air intercooler fed by an even larger dual-pass heat exchanger. This intricate cooling system works to keep charge air temperatures lower under all conditions to produce consistent performance whether you're racing your buddy's Tacoma or towin' a load. The compact packaging allows the unit to sit comfortably below the hood, requiring no modifications to the body or firewall. Seriously, the dude in the Tacoma next to you at the red light won't even know what's coming.
The Power Levels
Z1's Supercharger Kit will be available at multiple power levels, with each offering reasonable power gains over stock.
Level 1 - This produced 301rwhp and 283wtq on 87 octane fuel, giving us 51whp and 40wtq more than the same truck-produced stock. The Level 1 kit utilizes Z1's Cold Air Intake Kit with the standard plastic intake tube.
Level 2 (Coming soon) - This produced 320rwhp and 295wtq on 87 octane fuel, and 351rwhp and 307wtq with 93 octane fuel, giving us access to 70-101whp gains with 52-64lb-ft of extra torque! This kit also utilizes Z1's Cold Air Intake Kit, but also includes a carbon fiber intake tube necessary for all levels above Level 1. A set of six OEM spark plugs (PN: 22401-5CA1D) are also included.
Level 3 (Coming soon) - This option is currently in development, however, it is expected to produce 368rwhp and 331wtq on 93 octane fuel, giving us 130whp and 114wtq more than the same truck-produced stock. More information related to the Level 3 supercharger will be published when available.
Level 4 (Coming soon) - This option is currently in development. The dyno sheet below illustrates the area we expect this level to be around; however, the power level is still undefined at this time.
Looking for more power than that? Z1 will continue to support more power levels as the necessary fueling components become available. Level 1 and 2 supercharger kits will have the ability to upgrade to these higher power levels as they are released.
