GTM, Stillen just threw out some stats and facts about air to water over air to air.:stirthepot:

Correct me if I'm wrong but I remember seeing that stillen offered a 3 year warranty if anything went wrong with the sc or engine.

Im not sure, they will warranty the whole engine and kit even if they think the problem wasnt related to the kit? Lets something went wrong but it wasnt really the kit that casued it, would they still fix it? And should I say the install shop will still fix it? Cuz more than likely Nissan wont touch it now and it would be a hell of a fight with them to prove or disprove the cause. I guess same question for GTM too on this. |
I think Stillen does have an engine warranty on their base kit just as long as nothing is altered from their original design / tuning.

I choose air to air any day over liquid to air, it is simple effective, reliable and proven unless we were designing a root style supercharger kit ;). Sam |
Id like to see some data comparing A-A W-A cooling, but that is for a different thread I guess.
If people are really comcerned they can always stick a decent meth kit in there to really ensure an efficiant charge temp. A SC / TT set up will rock regardless, Id love to have one and will take what ever cooler comes.. ;-) |

There is always a warranty on the supercharger through the manufacturer though that would be "included" with the kit...that's no different then GTM's supercharger though. I think you might want to find an actual statement from Stillen (i.e. Josh or Kyle) before you go believing you will get a 3 year warranty included on the system as a whole. |

mmmm roots type supercharger
|
Once both kits go out and we start getting some real life testimonies, that's when we'll see who comes out on top. Personally I think Sam has got it down, I really like how GTM designed the supercharger around the VQ motor instead of augmenting the VQ motor to the SC. In the end reliability, simplicity of install, and hp/tq figures will rule.
|
^bingo - too much BS from nut huggers just spoils decent threads anyways
Each there own and all that.. The more offerings the better, def some talented engineering out there, all the better for the end user. |
I cant wait for the supercharger wars to be settled on a track!! Perfect situation = same driver, same day, same track, 2 different 370s with same supporting mods but different superchargers. Hopefully some magazine will do this!
Sam >>> would you pony up the shop supercharged Z for a comparo like this?? |
All this talk of the IC efficiency in both SC threads, and unless i missed it nobody has mentioned the fact that the air temp starts with the superchargers efficiency. The different designs of the units as well as if the unit is operating in its peak range, will determine the base temperature the intercooler has to start with.

Sam, thanks for being transparent through the whole process. I tip my hat sir.
|
Sam I am coming to see you soon. June first cannot come soon enough.
|
So who is first to have this system insalled ??
|
Sam, I live in Miami and it is not unusual for us to have some areas accumulate up to 8 inches of water in a day from tropical rain storms. Is there anyway to raise the air intakes up higher in the void behind the bumper? The upper one may be fine my concern is the lower one, we get tropical down pours at the drop of a hat and I would hate to ingest a bunch of water
|
if the top one is fine, then the bottom one won't be a problem. Assuming you run into a situation where you absolutely have to drive through standing water (this has far more things to consider than just your air intake, but i won't get into that here) unless you submerge both filters 100% you won't suck in enough water to hydro lock an engine. Just like if you capped off one filter the engine wouldn't die, it would just breath through the other filter.

This question may have already been answered, but do the tubes that go to throttle body pass in the same place as the S. gen 3 ? Just wondering if I could make use of the holes in the support core that's there already for the intake. As I'm really looking at the GTM stage 2 S.C. Kit, and thinking i maybe able to use the current holes... Sorry if this was already asked and or answered. Thanks again for all your time.

This is obviously the best supercharger kit for the 370z and G37

Mine will be the first G37 in canada

Sam, I plan on installing an oil cooler during the S/C kit install. Will the GTM oil cooler kit work with the oil filter relocation kit? If not do you have any suggestions on how to go about installing an oil cooler inconjunction with the oil filter relocation kit, I want to have a thermostat in the system?
