Stillen Supercharger estimates???

Minicobra1 · 12-15-2009, 04:47 AM

group buy

Snakes709 · 12-15-2009, 05:29 AM

how about they release some more info before a group buy.

motoextreme · 12-15-2009, 10:21 AM

We're just throwing it out there Snakes...

All BS aside, havent driven the car for a few days, damn thing is pretty quick already with just the mod's I've done. Can't imagine what it would do with another 100 HP+. Should be fun!

Snakes709 · 12-15-2009, 02:22 PM

Yea im still rocking my 370z in the snow

Havent been able to go 50% in about 2 weeks....i want WOT!!!! I want SPEED!!!

I was going to buy 2 nitrous kits the other night (starting kit and racing kit) Would have cost me $1173..but im saving my money for forced induction...im hoping the the supercharger isnt alot of money for ~100hp

Kyle@STILLEN · 12-15-2009, 02:29 PM

Sorry for the delay guys...The guys from Smokin' tire video crew are here do an "About STILLEN" video for their website. Here is the info we are ready to release on the supercharger:

Well, the meeting went very well with the managers and I do have some information to give you guys!!!

We will be using a Vortech supercharger/blower for our kit. We have engineered a new intake manifold, intake tract, intercooler system, and more but the actual blower is a Vortech unit. We can’t say exactly what trim it is just yet because our experience in the past with Vortech has taught us that we might change it during final testing. When we made a kit for the older Maxima’s we actually went through a few different trims on the wheels before coming to a final design. We can confirm that it is a self contained oiling unit so there will be a lot of added benefits.

We will be using a water to air intercooler. With a custom designed intercooler.

There will be no hood change. Everything fits nicely under the hood.

We have engineered a cast aluminum intake manifold which is currently out at the casting houses right now getting prepared for production pieces to be started.

We have a very good relationship with a CARB testing lab that we will be working with in our efforts to achieve CARB certification. In order to achieve CARB certification we must send the test piece to the lab that is a 100% production kit. There can be no differences between the production piece and the kit that goes to CARB. All of our recent kits for the VQ35, VQ40 and VK56 went through CARB testing with no issues, but the testing is extensive and can take awhile.

The kit will come with a warranty.

We have begun production on a number of the pieces such as the mounting bracketry, the cast aluminum intake manifold, intercoolers, and more.

Currently we are working on the tuning and we hope to use a hand held tuner. Hand held tuners are clearly the leading edge of technology and we hope to incorporate that into this kit.

To this point we have invested well over $100,000.00 and more than a year in development. All in an effort to have the best forced induction solution possible. Our VQ35 supercharger kit and our VK56 supercharger kit each took over a year to develop. We spend a lot of time on the CAD drawings, prototyping, test fitting, engineering, tuning, and final drive testing. We refuse to rush any one of these crucial parts of the development process. We are very excited as anyone to bring the new supercharger to market. Our 25 years’ experience in developing new products has taught us that it is more important that it is right than right now.

It is too early to begin discussing group buy and to be honest, I don't know if we will do one. I might be able to get an introductory price but even then, I don't know.

RCZ · 12-15-2009, 02:45 PM

Thanks for the info Kyle. Finally some actual facts from anyone.

I assume that intercooler is a customized Vortech Air to water unit?

WShade · 12-15-2009, 02:46 PM

In for the pics

Togo · 12-15-2009, 02:48 PM

^wow thanks for all the info Kyle!

shabarivas · 12-15-2009, 02:56 PM

sweet - time to start saving the pennies away... I have been waiting for a CARB ok SC kit and this looks mighty fine esp w/ no hood mods - need her to look sleeper

Nope, this intercooler is 100% custom. It is actually a bar and plate unit which we have designed and we are having built to our specs by a company in the U.S. They have been building bar and plate intercoolers for many years and we currently use their units on our superchargers for the Nissan Titan.

We have worked extremely hard in designing the new intake manifold and coming up with the creative routing for the inlets and everything that we are going to be keeping the information close until we are ready to release everything.

We have a car in the R&D (Research and Development) department that runs with the supercharger installed and it has required a lot of creativity and extreme engineering. We do not want other companies R&D (Rip-off and Duplicate) departments to take our designs.

THAT R&D COMMENT IS NOT DIRECTED AT GTM!!! We have a healthy relationship with the guys at GTM and have nothing but respect for them and the products they build. We wish them the best with their forced induction systems and look forward to seeing what they come up with.

We have seen other companies in the past take our engineering and our designs and make their own parts based on our hard work. Because of this, we are forced to keep our information private until we are ready to release it.

Very very cool actually. Everything sounds good so far. Do you guys have a power range goal? how about a price range? full boost rpm?
