Turbo= for the most part all at once somewhere in the rpm band... Supercharger linear gains boost with rpm

There are other factors in there that effect efficiency but for the most part I think it will put the same HP down as the TT's that are out now as long as the psi is the same, peak HP should be the same. Torque will be different though....

Boost is not boost. Look into lbs per minute. You can have the same psi but the one that flows more air will make more power.

I disagree. Noticeable differences in power can be seen at the same boost due to the size, volumetric efficiency, trim, etc. of the specific turbo or centrifugal SC used.

Happy Friday all! It's teaser time!

Here's a pic of the PROTOTYPE installed system, we're working on the tuning, and it will be on the dyno as soon as the california monsoon leaves us..

Here's a teaser video of the system as well: STILLEN VQ37 Supercharger Teaser

And here is the reason we weren't driving the G37 today: STILLEN Shop: Hailing

This is not the final kit, the tubes will be polished, etc etc.. but it's running, and we're finalizing everything quickly.

Very cool, Josh! Excited to see what kind of numbers it puts down and what kind of numbers I'll have to put down to pick one up.

is the supercharger in the same location on the 370 or do we get to have it on the correct side as the manifold because we are more important than the g37's?

Looks like it will be on the same side for us. There is more available space on the driver's side to house the blower.

Josh: is that the finalized intake manifold design? I wonder if there are going to be clearance issues with the factory strut tower brace.

Haha... I have a feeling you will buy yours first, so why don't you bring it on by and let me practice!

Thanks for the pic and vid, Josh. And I read that we're gonna have a rainless weekend here in OC. Hope your tech guys start the tuning tomorrow, LOL!

simply amazing, truly a work of art, i cant wait to hear that thing scream.

KEVTEX · 01-23-2010, 12:35 AM

Is the intercooler connected? I don't see any water lines at the end of the new manifold.
This looks like an awesome package. Can't wait for performance data.
