Introduction
Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing your
ProCharger 2003-2006 Nissan 350Z High
Output Intercooled System. Read this entire
manual before you attempt to install your
ProCharger kit. It is imperative that you
follow all of the instructions in the order they
appear in this installation guide. If you have
any questions regarding any aspect of this
installation, call us at (913)338-2886.
For best results, we recommend reviewing
the installation instructions beforehand, and
following the installation instructions closely
and in sequence. A detailed packing list has
been provided to assist you in identifying the
components of your ProCharger system.
You should also have the following gauges available to properly check the finished installation and monitor
your vehicles performance (especially for testing):
Manifold Boost Pressure Gauge Fuel Pressure Gauge
Wide Band Oxygen Sensor and Gauge
Gauges should be of a type that can be read from the cockpit while performing a wide-open throttle road
test. Cockpit or hood-mounted gauges are preferable. In order to obtain usable readings, the gauges should
measure pressure at the intake manifold and fuel rail. IF VEHICLE DOES NOT MAINTAIN PROPER FUEL
PRESSURE (50-65 PSI), DECREASE THROTTLE APPLICATION IMMEDIATELY. In some cases, extra vehicle
modifications can strain the stock fuel pump. If your vehicle has difficulty retaining adequate fuel pressure,
contact ATI ProCharger about the availability of an upgraded fuel system.
The engine on which the ProCharger is to be installed should retain the factory compression ratio. If it
has been modified in any way, please consult ProCharger staff before proceeding with the installation. This
supercharger system is intended for use on stock, strong, well-maintained engines/transmissions. Installation
on a worn or troublesome powertrain should be reconsidered. ATI Procharger will not be held
responsible for damage to a vehicles powertrain.
For best performance and reliability, always use premium grade fuel (91 octane or higher) and listen closely
for signs of detonation, which might sound like ball bearings rolling around in a tin can. If detonation
should occur, OR IF YOU ARE UNSURE whether what youre hearing is detonation,
decrease throttle application immediately and please consult ATI ProCharger staff. Detonation
should not be an issue with a properly installed intercooled supercharger system, though OEM factory-shipped
engine and parts inconsistencies are possible on any vehicle.

Tuning
Tuning
Note: This section only applies to full
systems, which include an EFMU. If you
do not have a full system, additional
tuning will be required before starting
the vehicle.
Note: To get the most out of your
system it may prove beneficial to utilize
an air fuel ratio meter. Wide band units
are most ideal when tuning an engine
for maximum performance. Use of a
wide band sensor will provide data
that will allow you to achieve optimum
performance throughout your engines
operating range.
38
38
Tuning
5 To make changes to the preset values in
the EFMU, use a paper clip to press the
run/program button on the front of the
EFMU. Ensure the selected input signal is
set to Boost and press the value knob
down. Follow the prompts and adjust
each zone accordingly by turning the
value knob. Increasing the percentage
will add more fuel and decreasing the
percentage will result in a leaner mixture.
Press the value knob down to select the
desired value.
6 Using a dynometer or a road test with a
wide band oxygen sensor installed, run
the car to redline with the throttle wide
open, noting what RPM range each zone
corresponds to. Also note the Air-Fuel
ratio corresponding to each zone. Adjust
the zone settings in 5% increments until
the desired Air-Fuel ratio is achieved
(typically about 12:1) in each zone. Be
prepared to abort the test at any sign of
detonation or excessively lean conditions.
For additional information, refer to the
instructions supplied with the EFMU.
Supplemental/Race Notes
7 High boost applications require high
energy ignition systems for proper
combustion. If you are using a stock
ignition system on such an application,
the plug gap must be reduced
to approximately .035 to avoid
extinguishing the arc discharge. The use
of spark plugs one heat range colder than
stock is also advised.
8 Proper pulley alignment of a cog belt
drive system is critical. Pulley alignment
can be checked by observing how the
belt tracks on the pulleys. The belt should

Fuel Quality
Belt Replacement
The belts which turns your ProCharger will
stretch after initial run-in, and should be
retightened after the first 100 miles, if not
sooner. Tighten the serpentine belt sufficiently
to avoid slippage, but do not overtighten, as
this could cause damage to the ProCharger
systems precision bearings. A new serpentine
belt may require several tightenings during
its initial stretch. Tighten the cog belts to
0.4 deflection as outlined on pages 22-23.
When removing belts, ensure that they are
re-installed to turn in the same direction as
before. Should you reuse a thrown belt and
find that it needs frequent retightening, the
belt is damaged and should be replaced.
Belts operated frequently under high RPM
conditions may elongate and lose tension. Use
of a shorter belt often remedies this condition.
ATI always recommends the use of Gates
premium quality Micro-V and cog belts.

Impeller Speed
Maximum impeller speed should not exceed the redline of 80,000 RPM for the C-2. Maximum
impeller speed = pulley diameter ratio of the serpentine belt, multiplied by tooth ratio of the main
cog belt, multiplied by tooth ratio of the blower cog belt, multiplied by the ProCharger internal
step-up ratio, multiplied by the engine RPM at redline. Diameter and tooth ratios for a given belt are
defined as the diameter or number of teeth of the drive pulley divided by the diameter or number of
teeth of the driven pulley.
Impeller RPM = (D1/D2) x (N1/N2) x (N3/N4) x ProCharger Ratio x engine RPM
Where: D1 = Diameter of Crank pulley
All of these ratios are fixed except the main belt ratio. The boost level is varied by changing pulleys
N1 & N2. When changing the boost level, both N1 & N2 must be changed to avoid changing
the required main cog belt length. For a 7-psi boost level, N1 is 38 teeth and N2 is 27 teeth. At a
maximum engine speed of 6,600 RPM, the maximum impeller RPM is 60,856. For other pulley sizes,
the impeller RPM is found by using the following equation:
Impeller RPM = (5.75/5.25) x (N1/N2) x (28/22) x 4.7 x engine RPM
Or
Impeller RPM = 6.5515 x (N1/N2) x engine RPM

ALTERED IN ANY WAY FROM THE FACTORY SETTING,
WARRANTY COVERAGE IS VOID. USE OF ANY PULLEY
NOT MANUFACTURED OR SUPPLIED BY ATI VOIDS
ALL WARRANTY COVERAGE. ATIs warranty obligations
are limited to the terms below:
ATI agrees to honor a warranty claim at its sole
