STILLEN 370Z Supercharger System - Announcement!!!

RCZ · 11-19-2010, 07:27 PM

You know, I've been itching to do it for a long time... I think I was itching to do it even before I got the kit lol. I can't personally figure out what the best way to do it would be from a technical standpoint. If you have it figured out and it makes sense to me, I'd be willing to give it a shot. Wonder if the stock MT will handle it..

Thanks for the input. Considering I only average 22 or 23 now that sounds pretty good. I may have hit 25 once or twice on trips.

Sometimes I think its so ironic that people care about mpg in the forced induction section of a sportscar modification forum.

The short answer is that it will not be better, it will be worst, a lot worst. If you want better mileage get a prius.

Back to snuffing baby foxes and melting the icecaps please.

Yeah I really don't understand it either. MPG is the last thing on my mind when I'm buying/modding a sports car.

I was curious because the gas mileage for the vvel is not very good to begin with. For an everyday driver if it is going to adversely affect the mileage I would scrap the idea because I have another car that is purely a weekend driver that I will spend the money on. Putting the SC on my infiniti was just one possibility for me.

christian370z · 11-25-2010, 06:02 PM

I don't think that some concern with fuel mileage is unwarranted; I doubt people are looking for it to improve but if it stayed the same as stock or maybe a bit less, that would be an additional bit of icing on the cake.

I wonder if the TT guys are experiencing better gas mileage?

JB-370z · 11-25-2010, 07:50 PM

RCZ: I thought we were going to see BOV's and boost controllers?!?!? I would really really like to see this! If it works I might buy a FX suv and do the same

RCZ · 11-26-2010, 07:21 AM

See, I can't tell if you are being condescending or not. I would assume you are since you made sure I knew the FX was an suv and there's a wink at the end. I know a lot gets lost on the internet though, so I'm gonna just assume you're not being a jackhole and you're just being clever.

Been thinking about it, its theoretically possible! Considering I'm running at less than half steam of what the unit can do, one could roughly estimate that I should see 9 psi of boost from 3500rpm to redline. Obviously there's no way of knowing without trying it. Also, only one boost controller would be involved and at least 15 bov's though, can't have enough BOV's.

It was done on a SC'd mustang before, its on the web somewhere if you look it up. The result was instant torque and a flat power curve.

Hahaha you crack me up with this BS! I am not out to get you RCZ and I am not going to keep repeating that!

Now, as for the FX, there is a guy here in Houston that has a turboed FX with a BBK Etc. I love the new look of the FX and I know its only a matter of time until they do away with the VQ35 and add the VQ37. As of now I know Protech makes a supercharger for the FX. I’m sure one of the SC makers with make one for the FX37 when it comes out. I currently have a turbocharged SUV but a Supercharged SUV would be nice too if it had a VQ37 in it! So am I being condescending...NO... And you are right it is hard to judge peoples demeanor only by the words and icons they choose to use in a post. And I think the FX37 paired with a supercharger could be a good contender for a Porsche Cayenne! The Cayenne has 500hp to the crank, and other companies are getting the automatic tranny beefed up soon so I think that the price of a supercharger with tranny upgrades would put me right in the golden zone vs. going turbo. I think there is an AWD version of the FX too! A supercharger on the FX would make it a blast to dive and if someone found a way to add BOV’s would make it even better

I just re-read that....15 BOV's, wow thats allot of BOV's. Thats at least 3k in just BOV's! Where will you fit 15 BOV's???

shumby · 11-26-2010, 07:23 AM

man i really want to SC the FX but need to get this trans thing sorted out first.

shumby · 11-26-2010, 09:24 AM

FYI the FX 37 is already out in the UK. Now to get to the point i want a SC on my FX%)S. way better then SC on FX37.

And don't forget it is me that is out to get RCZ. the stillen nut swinger

RCZ · 11-26-2010, 09:49 AM

haha, I just can't keep track of who hates me and who doesn't anymore, my apologies.

With regards to the FX, meh I don't really get that either. I wouldn't spend money making my truck faster. Whats the point lol? Its supposed to be the chill-out grocery getter. I'd rather just get a cayanne S or an X5 and call it a day.

Shumby, you sly fox you.
