Kits haven't shipped yet, but 370Z kits will be leaving shortly.. we have plenty of components being manufactured, most of which will be the same for all of the applications, including the 350Z..

lol, i was about to call

obviously you are sales... CARB mandates that all charged air must be intercooled that is why there is the heat exchanger in the manifold... and longer intake runners only "improve" torque on the low end... then it is lost at the top end. the VHR engine is programmed as 2 3cylinder engines that run together like the BMWs that the technology was bought from so having the dual throttle bodies is just a loop hole that stillen couldnt get around because one bank would not fire with only 1 throttle body... but then why have it go into a common plenum that is just redonkulous... im sure that there is 2 mafs also... maybe in the same intake pipe??? that is why stillen is turning into a joke now... spending all their time on ford GTs and an effed up ferrari wiring nightmare... plus making targa tasmania must have put the good brain cells in a different basket

- Not in sales..
- Intercooling can happen a number of ways..
- We're fine manipulating the ECU to accommodate our needs, rather than forcing another solution..
- Our engineers haven't touched the STILLEN Ford GT in a long time, but we do have quite a few Ford GT's in for service and installs regularly
- Never run Targa Tasmania.. however, if you're referring to Targa Newfoundland that we ran with our heavily modified R35 GT-R, yes we did run that. So racing with our products is frowned upon now?

I understand where your assumptions are coming from as you are not the first to assume that we have located the maf sensors in the charge pipe. Some people have assumed that the macs actually sit side by side in a shared section of the charge pipe...

We actually are using a draw through maf setup on this supercharger just like our previous superchargers rather than a blow through configuration. After talking with the Nissan engineers. To accomodate this there is a y pipe intake mounted behind the front bumper directly in front of the core support. Each maf has it's own intake path and the air is being dran from the freshest and safest (height in relation to ground so no chance of hydrolocking) location possible.

We did consider running an air to air intercooler and retaining the factory manifold. This would have helped keep r&d and manufacturing costs down but we did not want to sacrifice performance so we chose to proceed with the new manifold to accomodate the air to water intercooler. In regards to the engine drawing from a shared air source...you might want to look inside your factory plenum...it is completely open inside...not seperated at all.

Also as someone mentioned earlier in the thread I personally drove the car to the Cerritos meet and I think everyone there saw how smoothly the car runs. Steve millen has also put thousands of miles on the car going on a long trips to las Vegas Nevada, and another trip up to mammoth and Reno where the car saw sub 30 degree temperature during their recent snow storm...drivability has not been an issue at all.

didnt you guys learn from the 300zx drool pipe... two sources of metered air combining into a common air plenum... or a common pipe feeding the supercharger... the problem of a pulley type supercharger is that peak boost is only achieved a redline... and the more boost is made the more heat is induced into the charge air making it necessary for a charge air heat exchanger... screw type super chargers make more boost at lower RPM and don't induce nearly as much heat!!! how many other people are you going to have defend your UFO abortion??? im sure you can ask Jeff Ricciardi to have all of your friends at work join in on the band wagon

Awesome!

Finally Stillen does something very right.

interesting...

can this setup be modified to run e85?

^^^ All you need is a new EMS, like ProEFI…doesn’t really have much to do with the supercharger. I wouldn’t try and run e85 on a reflash.

so does this kit receive an EO# or its offroad use only?

Please make this for HR and with CARB #.

Team STILLEN

iTrader: (2)

Yes, this kit has been submitted to CARB, we're awaiting a test date. We've gotten 100% approval on all of our other supercharger kits for the Z/G, and aer confident we will on this as well.

After that it will have an EO#

willow350

Nice. Keep on it! Looking forward to it. No more state ref ticket would be so awesome. Do you have any expected time frame on when hr's(2007) will be on sale?

Just an update for you on the 3.7L version.. with full plans to tackle the 3.5L's here shortly..

Here is a photo of the STILLEN 3.7L Supercharger components as has been requested. This is the polished version as you can see by the polished supercharger in the center.



As you can see from this photo a lot of pre-assembly is done with this kit before it's boxed and on it's way. There are 32 individual components in the main supercharger assembly, including the brackets, pulleys, belts, etc. I'll get some photography of the backside of that assembly to show the additional parts.

Also the intercooler comes pre-installed into the intake manifold, along with the fittings, etc. We're easily saving 2-3 hours of installation time by our pre-assembly of major components.

Too bad Stillen already has the bad rep for the 350Z Roots S/C that was a disaster with broken belts, bad S/C units and HP claims that were off the charts...

+10000000, I came across a guy in a 350z with a stillen supercharger, the side of the car said supercharger in huge letters, needless to say I spanked him real good with my stock block TT. He had all sorts of excuses for it like his supercharger belt slipped and he was only running regular 89 oct fuel so his hp #'s where low, no traction ect.

Yep, the Stillen sounds great and makes good TQ/HP until about 5K where it drops off bad...They claim 425 flywheel but their stage 4 makes about 375 flywheel or 325 rwhp, If it made 425 hp on a DE that wouldn't be too bad but don't post false figures...
