First STILLEN Supercharger 370Z swiss

vlad370z · 02-24-2014, 04:41 AM

Hi Ivo
Picked up my z today great with the supercharger understand your enjoyment,
if I could ask you a question - after some spirited driving is your bonnet hot to touch maybe even fry an egg on ? As this is my first supercharger I am. not sure what is normal or what to expect.
We gave a rich tune to start off with on dyno dynamics with the 9lb pulley and obtained 301 rw kw. From what I understand dyno dynamics reads about 12% lower than dynojet .Commonly called the HEART BREAKER DYNO.

Hello new Supercharger Fan!

Due to the very limited space available and the additional Supercharger Parts
and the extra power, creates very high heat in the engine compartment!
My hood was always very warm even before the conversion.

But for fry eggs on the hood it is not enough ....

BTW: Have you installed an additional oil cooler?
This is very important!

Enjoy the extra POWER

Yes I have a z1 25 row oil cooler 850 injectors 340 aeromotive fuel pump. My oil temp is good. Just surprised at the heat generated.

VERY GOOD

Ivo do you have thermal sleeves on your heat exchanger hoses to reduce the water temp from radiant heat in the engine bay

Yes

Well spotted

I used a digital IR temp gauge to measure the temp of the intake after a short drive and it read 145*. A lot cooler that I thought. I ceramic coated the intercooler, pipes, supercharger, radiator and oil cooler. I also upgraded the top coolant lines.

Hey TKomodo
These pictures I have not seen before on the "WWW"

Thank you for sharing with us!
Your setup looks great

BTW:
Have no problems with heat, which produces the oil cooler
and sits directly under the air filters?
In particular, at low speeds or in heavy traffic?
If the cool intake air can not flow properly through the cooler.

What bumper you have installed?
Still the original with the brilliant green wrap in your photo album?

TKomodo · 03-03-2014, 02:04 PM

It is still quite cool here. In a few weeks it temps will stay in the mid 20sC (mid 70'sF) It did get to 27F the other day and no issues.
Yes, the car is still wrapped in Military Matte Green and factory bumper!

Can you see any difference with it? I've vented my hood and have the car in for meth injection but this seem like a cheap option if it helps.

Very cheap

I have no more power registered!
But the feeling that I have the hoses isolated,
brings estimated 10% more power ...

It costs about $ 10

Actually I would also isolate the charge air pipe!
But it's much too beautiful!

I'm hoping the meth injection and vents will keep mine cool.

Hey Ivo
How are you progressing with the new heat exchanger?

I am waiting for the date for the UPRev optimization ...
My tuner is always fully booked!
In about 3-4 weeks, it should be ready

swiss370Z · 03-18-2014, 01:52 PM

On 11 April, the work is done!

A long time...
