I don't think saying the same thing ad nauseam is helping the conversation, that's all. I hope it all works out, I also hope you are speaking directly with Stillen rather than your installer at this point.

my results and stillens press release dyno

Hmmmmm! Weird! I made a tad more power than you did and mine is a G37 and I only have an CBE.

When I first got my kit installed I was running into problems too. Just like you, mad as hell! I understand your frustrations. So then I contacted Josh@Stillen and he was the most helpful guy I encountered. He walked me through all the troubles I was running into and got me going within a week or 2. I think you just gotta be a little more patience and chill. Your car will be fine and will make that power they advertised. Worse case is just drive it down to them. That is exactly what I did and they fixed everything and treated me well while my stay.

Check out my review and visit.
Review Stillen Supercharger - MyG37

LateralG'z 07-28-2010 04:47 PM

what are all the people who dont live in CA going to do who cant just drive on down to stillen. It should just be an install ecu reflash and the advertised horsepower + or - 5% for some condition variations. not get it and have problems and wait two extra weeks.
I can understand there frustrations and totally side with them.

just saying cuz i see that he's local to me and he have options to take it there. sorry if i offended you in anyway!

LateralG'z 07-28-2010 07:44 PM

What is it with people's emotions on these threads. Weiboy718 You did not offend me in any way. All I am saying I could side with people who paid for these with the tune. I think it total BS and understand there anger and what about all those not in CA that cant really get it solved fast like you, we want that service. My kit will be done Friday and we are doing our own tuning but if I bought their tune and had to deal with this, I would be ripping some new ********. After my kit another kit is going in with their tune and I hope he doesn't have to go through all this.

LateralG'z 07-28-2010 07:58 PM

Plus I am a manual and he is AT and we will be on the same dyno so some really good comparisons from same dyno.

But a lot of assumptions are being made. His car is not a standard set up and he's assuming Stillen and not his shop is to blame for his low numbers. If taking it to Stillen fixes it like in weiboy718's case, I'd have to assume that something was installed or setup incorrectly in the first place. If a special tune is need because he has other mods, he can't expect the kit to magically account for that. I guess I'm saying there is a lot of Stillen bashing going on w/o enough evidence that Stillen is even the problem here. I'm also not saying they aren't, just not enough facts to start pointing fingers to date.

tomnavone 07-28-2010 11:42 PM

^^ Everyone that has installed this kit has had promblems and no one is close to the advertised power except stillens cheerleader rcz. Lets see some dynos that have made the numbers stillen has.

I wouldnt call it a special tune just to account for a couple extra mods. Tunes account for different mods all the time. There should be a tune for most common mods, like CAI, CBE etc.

I would agree with this statement^^^^. Their (STILLEN) car had cats with CBE so by removing the cats they should free up some flow and actually gain power off the original canned tune. They might be running a little leaner with LTH or test pipes but for most part the cats are the major restriction in our systems. They could easily have a tune for cats & one with LTH or test pipes and that would cover the rest because that is the only real restriction once you have the kit. Doesnt seem like rocket science to me. Also I am willing to be 95% or more that any of us who bought the TT or SC kits have after market cats, exhaust, intakes etc... Just a thought for a better business plan. Dont get me wrong I like stillen, I chose them after seeing how not so great GTM's TT kits go together for 350z. I know I will be happy with my decision once we have my car tuned and done.

The last time I tried asking to see if I can get HFC and a tune for it the answer is no. We have the carb kit and it's illegal in CA. That's the answer I got lol. So I don't get how can others have HFCs and still good for carb in CA.

RCZ 07-29-2010 08:50 AM

lmao I don't check this thread for two days and it goes crazy in here.

Cheerleader? where do I get my pom poms?? Good luck with your car man. I was just saying if you want answers, talk to them directly. So hard?
