We just received the prototype castings back from the foundry and they look AMAZING!!!! I can't wait to post pictures soon!!!

We have done all of the engineering of this kit in house and we have produced a couple of rapid prototype intake manifolds which are a plastic material that allow us to check for fitment and we can even send them out to test airflow and what not. The parts that we ran on the car a couple of months ago were actually plastic prototype pieces. This allowed us to watch all the belts and check alignment and confirm the engineering before going into the casting process.

We obviously don't have an aluminum foundry in the back of our shop so for some of our products we have to outsource to specialists. Then the parts come back to our shop for final machining and finishing before being assembled with the intercoolers and the rest of the kit.

The company who does all of our castings also manufactures parts for some of the largest manufacturers in the industry including:

TRD
Roush Racing
DART heads
Chrysler
Cosworth
Bombardier
Edelbrock
and many, many more.

We are also very proud to say that they are based in the U.S.A. This is very important to STILLEN. Too many companies these days outsource to other countries and we try our best to keep all of our manufacturing in-house or at least in the U.S.A.

Woo! God Bless America, I <3 Stillen.

Can't wait to see the pics of the castings.

Me either! A casting pic would be more than enough to kill the elephant in the room (since saying "vortec blower" really didn't give us much)

MyG37 - View Single Post - Companies Who Plan On Having A Supercharger For The G37

about the single side TB setup> Seems like a good engineering/packaging idea but doesn't do much for engine compartment aesthetics. Half of our engine bay will be naked and bare lol...no biggie though

Oh trust me! There will be some more parts back on the other side. For example, a big shiny blower!!!

Kyle> ahhh...so the I/C will sit on one side of the engine bay and the blower on the other eh?

The way I understood it was that cooling would happen post T/B. As in somewhere inside this casting...

No, the heat exchanger will be up behind the front bumper in front of the radiator.

Sorry for the confusion, "blower" is another term for supercharger.

We have developed a diagram to explain how the intercooler works. I will be posting it soon.

Thanks for the update, very exciting.

That's it. Breaking out the credit card.
