Awesome! Just post up a thread in the Mid-Atlantic section whenever you're there next and maybe we can have like a dinner meet or something. Or you can just come to our weekly Saturday meets too.

Sounds reasonable for the install (actually sounds pretty good price wise). I did my own install in about 30 hours.

I too want to hear that exhaust. I have a Nismo take off on the car right now and may be looking for something with a bit more growl...

True, but it's still nothing like hearing it in person

Ok change of plans after talking to the guys over a je imports going with the stillen supercharger they even gave me a $500 buck discount so money talks lol....

From looking at the kit I can't tell the size of the pulley that comes with it. But I know vortech has a nice number of pulleys for the v-3 same as my v-2 on my mustang I am running a 2.87 on that......but I am also running a larger crank pulley on my mustang

I wonder if that pulley next to the supercharger pulley on the back of that bracket could be increased in size to turn the supercharger pulley a little faster just a thought

Ordering the stillen hfc also


Stillen supercharger + stillen hfc + ark cat-back exhaust will be tuned by the guys a je imports coming soon

The pulley that is normally swapped out on the Stillen kit is the one on the front side of the bracket that is run off of the main belt (via the crank pulley) although I am sure that you can swap any of the 3 pulleys (front side drive pulley, jackshaft pulley or supercharger drive pulley) to get what you are looking for.

The standard pulley that comes with the kit (approximately 8 PSI at sea level) is right at 3.125 inches (I have that one sitting here on my desk). The Stillen replacement pulley that provides around 9 psi of boost at sea level is right at 2.9 inches (that one is on my car now).

I am thinking of swapping it out for something around 2.5 inches as I am at 5400 feet ASL here in the Denver area and am only able to make 7.2 PSI out of the 9 PSI puley. As you stated, Vortech has a good selection of replacement pulleys and 928 Motorsports also makes a nice selection of replacement pulleys.

Good luck and I hope that you have the same good experience that I have had. The custom tune is definitely the way to go.

Mr.Squeeze

The Stillen kit uses a 7 rib pulley set up vortech only sells a 7 rib 3.12 pulley thats it. If you look on there site as well as 928 motorsports you will find 6,8,and 10th pulleys. I think you would be better off going with a cog pulley set up on the back ,or a larger crank pulley instead of smaller pulley than the Stillen one. If you go smaller than you are asking for belt slippage problems.

Cool...

Will be nice to see another SC Z in the area. Hopefully the Stillen will be trouble free.
