That is definitely the plan! Check out the first two pictures of the 3D drawing. The intake manifolds will actually be sent out for black powdercoating prior to the machining process where all of the mounting surfaces and the STILLEN logo will be machined revealing the clean aluminum underneath. It will look great!

Not sure if this has been asked, but with the SCs will we need an oil cooler and for the AT guys an trans cooler? If so will they be part of the kit?

It really just depends on what you'll be doing with the car. Because of the overheating oil issues we have already seen, we're going to guess that yes, an oil cooler will be necessary. The good thing though is that the intercooler will not block the oil cooler's that we currently offer so you will have fresh cool air passing through both the intercooler and the oil cooler. If you're racing the car I would definitely recommend the track kit.

We will not be supplying an oil cooler in the kit because not everyone will need it. It will really depend on what is being done with the car.
I don't know yet about the affects on the auto trans. One of our test cars is a G37 coupe automatic trans so we will know soon!

Ok kinda off topic but kyle u might know the answer. I know there is a difference between the canadian version of the Z's and the US version, ie...fog light. Is there a difference in this cooling issue everyone keeps bringing up? I made 5+ passes down the 1/4 mile and never seen temps above 100*C and it was 30*C weather.

you just threw out celsius numbers...Let me recalculate to fahrenheit...friggin' Canucks! LOL

100* temps= 212
30* temps=86

OK, so when visiting the 1/4 mile on an 86 F degree day you are seeing temperatures in the 212 F range.

I can't say exactly what is different but a 13 second pass down a 1/4 mile is not giving the engine much time to heat up the oil in comparison to a 30 minute session around a race track where you are constantly unloading and loading the engine and putting significant stress on the oiling system. I'm not saying that a blast down the drag strip is easy on the oiling system, but in comparison the race track is going to be harder on the oil for a longer period of time. It is my understanding that the majority of the cars overheating the oil are experiencing this issue on the race track.

Actually we have talked about the possibility of having a dual map setup on the tune with the ability to swap out pulleys for more boost and higher octane tune for track use and a streetable tune for 91 octane. The only problem with that will be to work out the tuning. The easiest way to do a system along those lines would be a piggyback tuner with 6 additional injectors. So yes, it is an option that we have discussed but it's not something that I have any final details on just yet.

No matter what, there will be no A/C delete or anything like that. The system will be designed to work with all of your factory systems.

I don't know about power gains or lag until we get the car up on the dyno and start testing.

makes sense... anxiously awaiting further detail

casting looks superb btw!

Wow Kyle I'm impressed. Thanks for the pics and thanks for the answers to my ?'s....

My car blew up today... I wish I would have bought all of the items that you suggested... I couldn't freakin stop to hop out the big ball of fire that was my car because I didn't get the darn brake upgrade and fluid upgrade... Damn, wouldn't that bl0ww..

Anyway, I think I am going to wait for the S/C release then just buy all of your suggestions then... Thanks again... I love the pics by the way...

How soon before we can see some NUMBERS?!?!?!?!

:eek::eek2:

wow, you are the man for keeping a positive attitude !

I say he deserves to see some numbers! :)

HAHA halon great stuff if you want to die from asphyxiation. Just remember to put one nozzle in the passenger compartment pointed at your face. That is race only fer sure.

Intake looks great :tup: it will be an interesting piece with both pipes routed to the one side, cant wait for pics :yum:

Where is the supercharger going to mount?

I am very interested to see how all the piping is ran and what it all looks like under the hood.
