New Supercharger acting up

ANMVQ · 12-17-2014, 08:13 PM

Here's the vid of what mine was doing , if it's running lean stay AWAY from the dyno till they look at the fuel pump , I did that to and 3 days later my cyl 3 took a dump . An the whole time my car was doing this the boost was either negative or 0 nothing over 0 .

Hello Business Kat

Very important!

Do not play with fire!
Listen to the comments on here!
Let your Nissan 370Z set by a professional Tuner!

Otherwise, you risk your engine, or if you are lucky, only the catalysts!

This happened to me in the beginning 2011.......

The definitive end happened 3 1/2 years later (a other Story...)

This should fix the airbag problem, it will not stop on its own. My car ran like crap on the Stillen tune, my tuner made it run great.

AIRBAG LIGHT after install :(

I am wondering if the reflash didn't take also. I had it where we did the frlash and it wouldn't see several sensors and would not datalog. Did a follow up reflash with the new file and it worked. Regardless it has serious issues. Did any mention not to drive it? Oh yeah, they did. Mine is a tiny rich in some areas and a tiny lean in others and I am paranoid driving mine it mine is well within the safe zone. I hope the OP followed the advice.

Update: The install was fine, we checked everything. I have a 2013 MT base model. The map Stillen sent over was for a sport model and my car wouldn't start. The next day they had found another map they sent it over. The car runs and Stillen said that it's not in any danger as long as I don't attempt to race anyone. Stillen won't be able to get me a good map to me until over a week because their tuner is in Japan. They claim I'm the only person that has a 2013 MT base supercharged so they can't send me an accurate map. I'm just amazed that this happened. I didn't expect stillen to handle this the way they are.

Just because they are well known doesn't mean they are a stand up company... I highly recommend you call Seb at Specialty Z and have him set you up with a custom tune. WAY safer, and you will make more power.

The Stillen tune is garbage. Get a real tune for a safer, faster, better car in all aspects.

ANMVQ · 12-18-2014, 08:07 PM

I wouldn't trust hear say or Stillen saying anything like that , you go tget merge on ththe hyw or anything and motor blows your in the hook for 10k to fix it for the love of everyone that's told you just get a custom tune and be done with it . If you are really goin t wait for Stillen to get you a map after Xmas ( caus no way it'll be next week) make them pay for a rental car so you don't blow yours up , just my .02

You car spits, pops and makes no boost and you want to drive it !?

I would do what everyone has been saying man. You're dead set on getting a map from Stillen and that is a big NO NO

JWillis72 · 12-18-2014, 08:46 PM

The guys at Stilen are good guys but I don't believe anyone can tune a car perfect without knowing what happening with the car. The dyno gives a tuner that info for your car.

Its like a quack doctor writing a prescription meds without physically diagnosing a patient.

Business Kat · 12-18-2014, 09:49 PM

Church Automotive was nice enough to squeeze me in today. The maps Stillen sent me were terrible but now it's running UHmazing with 475 to the wheel! Turns out the guy went to school with my dad too! Thank you all again for your help

ANMVQ · 12-19-2014, 08:04 AM

Glad you listened man, Super happy you got up and running right.

JWillis72 · 12-19-2014, 08:44 AM

Glad to hear it, You will enjoy the car a lot more with it tuned right.
