Stillen Supercharger

kellyefields · 09-30-2012, 07:49 PM

RCZ did have one but sold it to me.

Like others have said before the stillen is a good kit with a aftermarket tune and you will make power, maybe not as much as other kits but then again it is all subjective as to what you are wanting. My personal experience is that the stillen gives you the feeling of a stock ride for everyday driving and then when you want it rev it past 4k and you know you have something extra under the hood. I would suggest it to my friends in fact my buddy is in the process of buying one.

Hello, I the guy buying a Stillen with 500 miles on it. Can't wait!!

Here is the thing, what do you want the SC for. I want it to have fun with the car when I'm out F_ _ king around. The RND that goes into GTM and Stillen is huge. I am not planning on blowing my motor or AT tranny so the Stillens reliability and HP numbers fits my needs.

GTM Kits are awesome and look stock after installed, can tune easily for big numbers and you will be the Fastest Guy from 0 - to the Speed Limit unless your tracking or dragging the car. Also more money for start up compared to others.

TT is expensive, makes huge numbers and pushes everything on your car to the limit unless you dial it back. If I was a doctor this is what I would do to my car.. $$$

My 2 cents, just getting into SC so this is how I came to my choice. Osiris and ANMVQ have a lot of good info on the subjects..

RCZ has not been around for about a month now that I can tell. you can send him a PM on here to get his attention faster or can ask me. I have his kit now.

If you end up going turbo, consider the BP single turbo kit as well. It is very DIY friendly when it comes to the install, and will perform as good if not better than the TT kits. Feel free to go though the build thread link in my sig. The prototype made over 500whp at just 8psi of boost, using the Precision billet 62mm turbo and a twin scroll turbine housing. The kit is also capable of over 600whp, without having to upgrade anything on the kit. Of course this is not something you want to do on a stock block.

Starting price is also less than the TT kits, comes with larger injectors, fuel pump and a complete oil cooler kit. If you do get a shop to do the install, it will be a fraction of the cost as well when compared to TT kits capable of similar performance. Maintenance is also a breez because everything is easly accessiblee.

The kit however does not fit the 7spd A/T gearbox, and at the moment is built to be used with the F.I dual 2.5" exhaust system.

The 3 yr 36k mile warranty with Stillen is major consideration

this warranty only applies if u use there tune, if thats the case.
you might aswell just buy bolt ons, i saw 343 whp with the stillen tune.
proper tune 443 on mustang and 462 on dyna pack. with the 9 pound pulley.
Buy the boosted performance kit, the install is a breeze and it puts out major power. This would be the route i would take if i was going to do it all over again.

Couldnt agree more I only saw a 34 WHP increase on "Their" tune, custom tune netted me 114 WHP.

I'm actually thinking about going this route when I come back from A-stan next year.
Only thing I don't like is that it's built for the F.I. exhaust.

You can always get a local exhaust shop to mate the down pipe to whatever exhaust you have/want. It won't me expensive at all. Just a simple short Y-pipe, and I can send the other half of the V-band (flange) so the exhaust can mate it up to whatever you end up doing.

Hey, I just thought of another question that you guys might be able to answer for me. Would installing either of the two options ( TT or SC ) increase the insurance of my Z?

I don't think it would be something you report to your insurance.

when I added a stillen supercharger to my 350Z, I did tell my insurance. Progressive, at the time. but I also had a ton of other mods. They increased the premium, but only because I wanted extra coverage for the cost of the supercharger and mods. It was about 5 dollars a month, but I added an additional 15000 in coverage. It had nothing to do with the added power though.

Skarekrow · 10-05-2012, 11:55 AM

Hey guys, yesterday I talked to two different Nissan dealers and both of them said that installing any non-Nissan part would void the warranty. Can anyone confirm or deny this? Including Stillen parts... even though Stillen says that it will not void their warranty.

swiss370Z · 10-05-2012, 12:15 PM

Hi there,

Here in Switzerland and Europe, Nissan does not invalidate the warranty on Tuning- parts like a SC or TT for the engine!
Is logical to me, since the engine has much more power and void the warranty!

We have the possibility to take a separate warranty for the conversion.
"EXPENSIVE"

I do not know how it looks on you in the States?

Greetings
