It could make it easier to fit the filters if they are where the openings are. But that could also prove a little problematic.

I know there are a couple out there already but I don't know if they set it up any differently than you would with a stock bumper.

This should work well, the trans cooler lines up with the vent great.

Looks good, should you create a funnel to force air through the cooler only and not loose any around it?

Thats the plan but we want to get the fans in first.

Love it!

any luck on the seperate ait sensor? i mentioned this back in 2012 on anmvq's thread and it didnt get any attention, im sure one of the wires coming out of the maf is for the intake temps, i dont know how easy it would be to calibrate an ait sensor tho. just curious how this is working out for you. i may be mistakin but ait adjusts ignition timing right? colder air more advanced timing? so with hotter air and advanced timing=boom? i went down this rd on a previous car and popped an engine, luckily i was able to place the maf post s/c once the new engine was installed. atleast thats what i blamed it on anyway

How did you place the MAF after the SC'r ?
Thanks,

airikrankin · 02-03-2015, 07:34 PM

it wasnt on a 370z i had room on that application to make it work after i added an air-air intercooler.

airikrankin · 02-03-2015, 07:51 PM

what if you were to split the charge right out of the blower and have 2 pipes going to the manifold and placemthe mafs there?

edit:after looking at a few pics perhaps split piping at first bend? should have a long enough straight to weld on some maf bungs?

Bench test the SC, probably not shimmed right. Smoke test intake, they warp due to the fact you can't get same torque spec even all the way around.

Also if your using 25mm turbo smart BOV tighten it all the way down so it opens later in the rpm range to blow off pressure.

ANVQ and I did a lot of the same changes, I added the 928 impeller, drove great till i pushed it into 11.5 boost range and blew the rings out on my motor. Be careful unless your made of money, then have fun with it.

duplicate post..

ANMVQ · 02-04-2015, 09:48 AM

That 11.5 and BOOM is right that's were I was ( 12 PSI tho) for some reason my kit made more PSI on the stock pulley ( 9 PSI) and then with the impeller only made 12

AFTER MUCH CONSIDERATION:

It has been becoming more evident that the Stillen isn't really upgradeable due to it's 50 state CARB legal approach.
It is nice enough for leisurly moderate ugrades but woefully inadequate for us Speed Junkies.

BUT - It is dangerously weak in design philosophy with the combining and placement of the MAF sensors Pre-SCR...!!!

The I/C located in the Stillen Manifold and the Heat Exchanger/Circulating Pump as such is insufficient when desiring to gain more power thru upgrades.

(Be Happy with 420 whp :-) or be sorry)

I'm almost forced to stick it out and work with the Stillen because of limited options - so here goes :

I'm now in the process of adding an additional Barrel type W2A I/C (Top
Quality) right after the SC'r and before the bend towards the TB's.
(This requires custom W2A heat exchangers).

I will be relocating the MAF sensors (1) each on either side of the 'Y' just before the TB's.

I don't think the Stillen manifold design is 100% thought out, not totally flawed but can be worked with.

Need to upgrade and relocate the BOV as well...

There will be enough space before the TB's to install Aquamist misters.
Mocking up the motor now to determine the exact dimensions and locations.

It will be my "Super Stillen" ... overcoming the major limitations of Stillen philosophy and shortsided design for those of us who want to upgrade performance ...

(There is a 'bit' more involved with the actual execution of the project since it is a novel solution to a bad situation - and it is a custom installation)

It can be done.

ps: I was a heartbeat away from ditching Stillen completely and going over to GTM stage 2 SC'r ... but they couldn't give me valid delivery date.
Their system has it's own limits as well ...

Let's face it ... the 'Z' resists performance enhancements.

I've been without the car for near over a year ... enuff is enuff ... I need to get back in the drivers seat and hit the drag strip !!!

Power ON
