Default Stillen Air to Air setup

So since Stillen is the only SC available for the 370z family, I have been looking at how to get this kit up to snub to take on more horsepower at safer operation and reliability to the engine.

It seems kind of simple to me how to accomplish this but I am sure I am missing something here so I will leave it to you guys to fill me in on the areas I am not taking into consideration.

With 3" intake pipes our MAF's will hold the voltage up to around 14psi, which is what you can get with 9psi pulley and the SI impeller.

Below is the drawing for how to do this.

1. Turn compressor to face straight down.
2. Put a 90*, or 2 45*, couplers to get it going sideways.
3. Put a 180* pipe on to feed into the air to air
4. Connect the output of the a2a to a y-pipe. This could be a silicone coupler or actually use the intake filter Y-pipe and plug the maf holes.
5. Place 3" intake piping with the mafs in them in-between the y-pipe and intake manifold.
6. Use a single intake filter off the intake of the compressor using a small piece of pipe or coupler.

Or I was thinking of getting a dual exit A2A and running 2 3" pipes all the way from the ic to the throttle bodies.

I am not sure if the aftercooler can be taken out of the mani, but that would be nice to eliminate pressure drop. If it cant then it can just stay there. Possibly use this in conjunction with a smaller a2a to limit pressure drop.

Suggestions?

Hey Mav (TopgunZ)



I think every minute of such things....
Can not sleep, and I hope that my "Z" finally is with me ....

Thank you for your idea

No prob. I think this could all be done for very little expense. The thing is that I have the custom 3" intake pipes already in my garage. I don't see how this wouldn't work. Just seems too simple.

if this happens, you could have a decent market for this, anyone who gets the stillen kit ends up wanting more power, if someone designed this as a DIY kit that could be reproduced could make some good $$

You need to figure out how to keep the oem manifold. You do that and it looks good and has gains you will sell it.

Are you thinking of twin charging your 370Z? Or you just playing around for the fun of it?

Why use the stock manifold? What are going to get out of it besides having a lot more piping to do? It looks to me that it would be much easier the way TopgunZ was thinking.

I like the thought of keeping the stock manifold also, I dont think the Stillen IM can be opened to remove the heat exchanger inside it. Either way you know how I feel WE need to do this! An I still knew EVOHUNTER was working on this we talked about this before my car blew up :/ .

I have this problem where I can't just leave my car alone. So yeah, I am going to see how this project goes.

You can't twin charge a centri sc. It needs to be a pd like my 350 was.

If I can get all the parts I need by the end of this month I can have this done by mid to late July. And I'm even getting married the first week of July!

So are you ditching the BP kit in favor of this experiment?

Almost ditched the whole car and my truck for a roush raptor. I never know whats going on.

The BP kit was taken off about 3 weeks ago. My car is in the shop right now getting the vinyl removed and then Im painting my bumpers and skirts black.

I put on Berk HFC's and JWT intakes.

I will probably do the stillen air to air thing just cuz.

its more work, more piping this way top gunz is thinking.

Were rotating the blower down 90 degrees, The pipe will go straight down and around the rad into the intercooler and on the driver side.

On the passenger side were running a 3" off the intercooler. this is branching into 2 -3 "pipes up the TBS. my MAFS will be mounted 9"-10" away from the TBS.

If you use the stock manifold, you have more piping, Also, your pipes going up to the TBS will be different lengths, this will cause problems.

the blower gives you no room on the driver side to run a pipe up to the TBS., so a longer pipe would have to be fed through the passenger side, around the front of the motor up to the TBS, The pipe will be 20"s longer than your passenger intake tube.

Interesting, I'm looking forward to seeing how you guys do. Good luck!
