Hi Together,
I would like to bring all my way and the progress to the STILLEN- Supercharger System closer
(I try to give my best in english ...)
Phase 1:
April 2010, I bought the 370Z brand new (what a good decision!)
Note:
In the picture is the final state of the optical changes since 2010...
Phase 2:
November 2010, I went on a search for a supercharger kit for the 370Z.
I inquired in Europe .... (No one could help me or had experience with such a project!)
Phase 3:
December 2010 I found the "www.the370z.com" forum!
What a great thing for the search for such questions!
Big compliment to the whole forum!
Phase 4:
January 2011 I decided to go for the supercharger kit from STILLEN
The reason: the optics and technology
Please no comments on my decision!
I know there are good as well as bad reviews about this system!
Phase 5:
February 2011 Contacting Chip- Racing for installation and homologation in Switzerland. (Very strict laws here in Switzerland, exhaust fumes, noise and power)
Phase 6:
March 2011 ordering and installation of the kit
Current Mileage: 6'000 (10'000 KM)
Chip- Racing has implemented this project as the first here in Switzerland. (and I believe also in Europe)

The genesis way ....
Shopping list:
- STILLEN Supercharger System (satin Vortech Blower)
- STILLEN Headers (ceramic coated)
- STILLEN Oil- cooler (a must!!)
Exhaust and HFC still original!
Progress:
The order from STILLEN went smoothly
The installation was completed in 2 days
The fit of the parts is just perfect
April 2011 First test run:
The "Z" goes on smoothly
In the first test drive after 30 minutes starts the "Z" to stutter.
What's going on?
The problem was recognized very quickly by Chip- Racing
The software supplied by STILLEN does not fit!
In Switzerland, we drive with gasoline from 95 to 100 octane
Set after 2 months of trying and various contacts and to STILLEN we decided to continue directly with UpRev
(UpRev Osiris)
The "Z" was always set to the same dyno
Dynapack by Chip-Racing
But see for yourself how accurate the story continues ....
Nissan 370Z, originally built in 2010 (my friend with the same car as I have and STILLEN Intake)
Original performance on the Dynapack:
About 300 hp
STILLEN software
80 hp more
Chip- Racing UpRev calibration
140 hp more
Comparison official STILLEN software to chip Racing UpRev own setting:
The "Z" goes like hell and has been running smoothly until the end of 2011
January 2012:
The official tests in Switzerland are passed!
The "z" now moves legally on the streets ...
What a story with countless tests and setbacks ...
It does not matter!
The tests have been passed and that's what counts
March 2012:
The "Z" is not running properly...
The Problem:
Broken original catalysts
By the great heat of the Supercharger- System produced
But no problem!
I have in April and November 2011 already ordered the Exhaust System and the HFC from Fast Intentions
- 370Z TDX Cat Back Exhaust System (18" Resonator)
- 370Z Resonated High Flow Cats
At the point a big thank to Tony!
After installing the components Chip- Racing has the "Z" again optimized.
Here is the final performance level since mid 2012th
Current Mileage: 18'650 (30'000 KM)
Chip- Racing UpRev calibration:
165 hp more
I hope I could make my story a little closer?
As of February 2013 is the "Z" again in the final BOOST- Stage...
We install a new impeller in the Vortech Blower...
(not the 928Motorsports Impeller. Application: Vortech V1, V2 S-Trim Superchargers; and V2 Sc-trim Superchargers)
The STILLEN Kit comes with the Vortech V-3 SCi
I will report the end of February on the further course
Stay tuned and see you soon...
Greetings from Switzerland
