STILLEN 370Z Supercharger System - Announcement!!!

LiquidZ

Now that you mention it, I don't remember seeing a blow off or bypass valve on the charge tubing. If there isn't one, that's going to be an issue.

Except of course he is correct - I for one am reading this thread to hear about the topic of this thread. But that's just me, I guess.

For the recirculating valve, they are using the same Bosch valve that Vortech uses in all of their standard production kits.

There are some nice upgrades available if you are planning on higher boost levels though...

That's correct!

You can't see it because it is mounted on the bottom side of the charge pipe.

Thanks Xan and Kyle!

Yup, everything is coming along very well. The installation is complete on our customer's car and our tech. said that the installation instructions are coming along nicely.

I saw the initial instructions for the tuning process and they are even better than I imagined. It will be very simple for anyone to follow along and correctly tune their vehicle. I think you all will be very pleased with this. We need to run a few other "scenarios" on the tuning instructions to make sure we have addressed every possible situation but they should be done this week.

As we've said before we aren't going to release any specific data on this subject because there is no possible way to answer it. Intake air temperature does not have an "average." There are way too many variables such as ambient air temperature, RPM, and much much more...

What we can say is that during our testing at El Toro we were extremely pleased with what we saw. We saw temperature drops of well over 100 degrees post intercooler. And, during our heat soak testing we saw the temperature decrease rapidly once the car started moving again. As I've explained before, we put the car through a torture test to build as much heat as we could, parked it for ten minutes to let that heat soak into everything, then fired the car back up and performed a 0-140 MPH run. We were VERY pleased to see how quickly the intercooler coolant temperatures dropped as soon as we started moving again.

Glad to hear temps are no problem what so ever and the design is working great. Get excited ever time yall release more info and media. Media sells. I heard there was going to be some kind of engine cover to help make the engine bay come together a little more astheticly.

Wouldn't call it ***, but I agree. I think they mentioned somewhere that they have something in the works.

LiquidZ

Looking at the customer install pictures, I think it came together very nicely. I'm satisfied with how it looks. Plus, that polished Vortech really makes a difference compared to the satin finish.

Yup, we're working on a dry carbon fiber engine cover. We wanted to finish up the customer install so we can see how it looks with the strut tower brace and everything completed. The initial design follows the runners down and forms a valley then planes out into a cover for everything else. It's small but effective.

LOL...I always look forward to the valuable/insightful input that Shumby has to offer.

I agree! The polished blower looks really nice and the best part is that it's only a few hundred dollars more. It's a dramatic difference.

shumby

well i does look likle a$$ and you guys said you were making a cover but We now see nothing. When is it coming?

I would think you could tell us what the temp was before the IC and after just so we can see if the before temps were on par with the amount of heat put out by othe FI systems. 100 degree drop is good but only if the before temps werent overly high to begin with.

For me, still being undecided which kit to get, the amount of cooling the two different ICs do is very important to my decision. I will be asking the same from the other kit too.

It is an interesting point you raise Zsteve. FWIW, I would think temps pre intercooler are similar to the other kit considering they are also running a centrifugal unit at the same boost.
