^ I was planning to do that for a LONG time, but there are big hurdles to get over to do it..

Nissan370 · 07-27-2011, 06:31 PM

ok so i paid for every thing .

stillen supercharger (6000.00)
custom high flow cats (550.00)
ark cat-back exhuast (0)

supercharger install,exhaust,cat install,custom tune,odds and ends (2100.00)

---------------------------

total $9100.00

i drop the car off to je imports aug 22

i should have the rims powder coated black by then

so i have to work some overtime to put that 9 grand back into my bank account ouch

Nice! How did you manage to get an Ark exhaust for free?

Nissan370 · 07-27-2011, 09:19 PM

not for free i got the exhaust like 3weeks ago just never installed it ....

so i told je imports to install it along with the kit

the exhaust was 1450.00 shipped

Definitely would need to have the WG pre-MAF otherwise the metering would be all messed up. This means blow-through, unlike the Stillen kit. Interesting idea though. My only concern is that you end up running the compressor way beyond its efficiency range in the upper RPM band, which means you will be creating a lot more heat in the pre-IC charge. It may balance out to more power over the range, but I bet there are a lot of losses in efficiency up top.

Nissan370 · 08-04-2011, 08:21 PM

true but there are a lot of ways to cool that charged air down water-meth injection maybe running a nitrous spray bar for the intercooler....

anyways i have heard horror stories about the stillen and there tune thats why i am going with custom

imo blow-throught maf are easier to tune then suck-throught

i have the suck-through maf on my mustang it maxed out very fast and i had to get a larger ( one with more range)

my mustang has the v2 vortech and i know that 8psi is no were near the blowers effective range

at 14+ psi the v2 really starts to feel strong

on the z i will be getting the motor built next year and yea i should be going turbo but we will see..

i just think from my exp. with vortech that kit should see 500whp or very close to it

i can always up grade to a t or ysi trim vortech(built motor of course) i think they fitt same bracket (sci to t is just an impeller swap)

Nissan370 · 08-09-2011, 03:53 PM

small road block

i work for verizon and we are on strike.. so i may have to do the adult thing and postpone this install and get my money back ..

going to give this a few more days

Nissan370 · 08-17-2011, 08:46 PM

dropped the car off @ je imports

timing sucks but i am going on with the install

Nissan370 · 08-25-2011, 04:31 PM

so got the car back hear are a few pictures

not sure whats going on with the torque curve but the hp looks good..

little clip of the dyno

weather kinda sucks today but the ride from the shop no problems more pictures and videos to come this v3 vortech is very quiet compared to the v2 on my mustang

b1adesofcha0s · 08-25-2011, 04:37 PM

Nice

wind.zero · 08-25-2011, 05:23 PM

Looks good

Nissan370 · 08-25-2011, 06:42 PM

going to enjoy the car for a time then its back for

clutch and flywheel
stillen headers
boost gauge
and a retune

not sure if anyone makes a 10% overdrive crank pulley but that would be nice

--------- still hunting for 500rwhp mark------

but so far its a good start
going to put the car throught its paces hit the track see what she can do..

roplusbee · 08-26-2011, 07:57 AM

Awesome

Nissan370 · 08-26-2011, 01:38 PM

ok so my impressions of the stillen kit

the tune that je imports did is spot on the car feels great and pulls like crazy up top

the v3 is very quiet for a vortech unit in and out side the car

dropped by autozone to get a few things and people asking questions and loving the sound of the car.

a few things i noticed on a few runs giving it alittle gas my oil temp is between 240 and 250.. it drops once i cruise for a few mins,, way to high for me going to get a oil cooler

the other thing i notice is that intake is hot as hell and it made me think that if i ever upped the boost that the air-water intake will be maxed out

i got redlines wet coolant and added it to the coolant

on my mustang i am using a fmic and the intake is never that hot and its pushing 14psi
