STILLEN 370Z Supercharger System - Announcement!!!

RCZ · 03-12-2010, 08:04 PM

Well I think Stillen wasn't going to do staged kits. I think they said a while back that they are doing a CARB, a tuner and a race kit instead. I bought the race one. No idea what the final pricing is, but I feel fine with that considering how easy/cheap the Stillen kit should be to upgrade. I don't expect a huge price difference.

As far as power, I can only guesstimate, so don't hate if I get it wrong. I want to say 480-500whp. It all really depends on how much boost they can throw at it before it starts popping.

Buddy Revell · 03-12-2010, 08:31 PM

RCZ, do you plan on going all out and upgrading your engine internals eventually? I don't plan on going that route, which is why the upgrade issue wasn't really a factor for me.

RCZ · 03-12-2010, 08:38 PM

Yup.

WOW Stillen well done! Very fair price! Its descision time and you just made that descision a whole lot more difficult.

questions:

1. How long is this intro price good for?
2. Possibly I missed it in the release, but is this pricing/dyno numbers for the CARB legal kit?
3. Like others said...warranty info?
4. Could you elaborate further on the engine management your using?

Is this more reliable than the gtm s/c or anu turbo kit?

Only time will tell buddy, no one is out on the street with either yet, give it a few months and we'll see comparos out the wazoo i assume.

kdoske · 03-12-2010, 10:32 PM

Man I go away for a few days and this crazy press release hits the boards. These are great gains. Love the low/mid range gains, just like a super charger should be--Great job guys.

Typically the less boost you are pushing the more reliable/longer your engine will last. Supercharger systems(not the engine just the piping and what not), in general, need less upkeep then a turbo system.

Really won't know for a while though. Gonna have to have a few dozen kits installed and wait a year or two to know for sure what will hold up longer. My biggest concern with the stillen kit would be the water being pumped to a IC inside the manifold. Stillen claims they are using a super reliable IC so its not supposed to be an issue. It probably won't be though.

I can't wait to see more and some videos

travisjb · 03-12-2010, 11:38 PM

Congratulations, gentlemen! Great release... results exceeded my expectations!

There is one question that has been asked already that I'd like an answer to... what is the net weight impact?

fstrnldr · 03-13-2010, 01:56 AM

You guys asking for kit weight, don't forget to get the IC systems volume as well. The coolant used will add some weight as well.

G35s-Q8 · 03-13-2010, 09:14 AM

I hope it comes with Denso purple 600cc injectors, i hate those crappy RC ones that stillen provided on their previous kit for the 350z.
Also what kind of piggyback you'll ship with this kit? does it involve cutting and soldering like the control box supplied with the old 350z kit?
I hope not, becuase that would be a -1 for the kit.

shumby · 03-13-2010, 09:27 AM

finaly some copitition in the SC world. Good job stillen and good numbers. You kit looks good. Sorry for busting your chopps before but after seeing all the guys with G35.350's that hated your kit I wanted to eep on you guys to do something good. And you came through.

My bad, I got caught up in all the excitement of the release...you are right, no stages...carb, tuner, and race. So I guess I'm just interested in info on the tuner before I go Carb...race is out for me. No hating, but 480-500 would be saweet

I think people get too caught up in companies "stages".. Throw that out the window. On this kit, you make your own "stage" with your pulley choice and retune. Some company doesn't need to package it all up and put a little bow on it for you.

If you are going for big power, you either have the skills to know when other upgrades like injectors are required or you work with a shop that does.
