(Somehow I bet you say do the G37...LMAO)
Do the thermostat. Mine was $32 shipped on partsgeek

Ok...Thanks...
I think that's enough to swallow at the moment. ($$$$)
That's why I'm doing all the prep first....before the SC even goes in.

I'll probably hit you up again later...

Thanks again!!!

On the thermostat end there is only 1 choice, the stock one is very good and the only true upgrade for a street car is the OEM 2008 g37 one. Between a CSF radiator and lower the fan kick on temp you will do a very good job. You can also look at upgrading the fans & shroud but only one option with that right now if you want plug n play other wise you have to order the fans & wire it yourself while also building a shroud to fit.

I will say the reason I upgraded mine was because chuck sent it over to me one day and my radiator was coming out of my car so it became one of those why not. For $30 and it is an OEM part lets give it a go.
I am still waiting on a company to supply a plug n play fan/shroud upgrade that can deliver.

How much are you going to push the SC? If they give you 600s, upgrade them to 750s or so. Don't go too big if you aren't going to need it. If you're going to swap out all the pullies and impeller on the blower and really push it, then you may need to go to 850s or 1000s. If you're getting a Walbro 255 with the kit, see if they have the option to upgrade to the Aeromotive for a little additional headroom.
I believe they come with 750s and with the 8 lb pulley you will only run them about 80 percent. I asked Mark at Stillen about the 600s because I've seen that several times here and he told me they all come with 750s.

Absolutely. Just make sure it is for a 2008 G37. All the following years are different.

Who is a good vendor for the CSF radiator? is it vehicle specific?

I bought mine from Z1. The one for the Z fits Gs as well. There's nothing different about the Nismo.

theDreamer 04-28-2014 02:19 PM
I bought mine from z1 and they have been good support when I need help.

Chuck33079 04-28-2014 02:20 PM
If you buy one, swap out the crappy washers they use with something more substantial. They degrade over time and start to leak.

Nismo6972 04-28-2014 02:21 PM
Who is a good vendor for the CSF radiator locally? is it vehicle specific or any particular model?

We are all here to happily assist with your build. I've learned a great deal within this community and know you will as well. You'll find there are a good number of boosted VQs in the Houston area and all more than willing to assist.

Chuck33079 04-28-2014 02:22 PM
You need the 7012, if memory serves me right. You won't be able to find one (new) locally. Just order it from Z1. Should be around $600.

Nismo6972 04-28-2014 02:26 PM
Ok...Got my CSC from them.
And the oil cooler? 30 row? Stillen, or other?

Here is the specs for the radiator. I do not believe anyone in Houston keeps it in stock so I would just order it via z1 and have them ship it directly, they keep them in stock so it is quick (2 days top usually).

Mine is a 7012. Odd. Maybe the 7011 is the one for the 7at?

OP, I would think you could just get a 34 row Mocal or Setrab core and just reuse your existing stillen oil lines and thermostatic plate.
