Oh yea, I've been holding out for the Vortech.

 

Well I have given Stillen a chance to repair their mistakes. If it doesnt work this time, look for the office window treatment and a nice letter from my attorney to go along with it explaining how they are misrepresenting their product.

Does someone have a catapult I can borrow?? The wood ones are nice. I'll have to visit the Universal prop department and get the catapult from Gladiator if no one here owns one.

 

i wouldn't give that threat being that they are working with you. just a thought.

 

Just some pics of the Vortech supercharger on the Wings West car (I still think that wing is ugly):

 

Oh come on now everyone knows I am kidding. Although I was really upset at Stillen before I contacted them repeatedly. I am holding off all judgement until I get my car back at the end of this week.

 

oh my, ati, newer stillen, vortech, pe tt, ... oh my
these are good times for the 350Z...

 

 

If you do it you can expect about 10,000 of these:

 

ditto, i can't believe that uglyass Wings West Z got the first Vortech unit.

 

What kind of hp #'s is the Vortech putting out? What's the cost?

 

You bet, always fun stuff to compare the mods! I cant wait.

 

and hopefully it will be in my car!!!

 

cbsuper - got any numbers on that Vortech blower?? Do tell!

 

The Vortec webpage shows a 100hp gain for the S2000. I think someone mentioned the estimated hp for the Vortec is 400hp at the crank but that is 2nd hand info.....

 

hey skk,

good luck with your stillen project, i would love to check out your ride sometime when its finsihed so i can decide which method of FI i want to go with...i am in vegas so let me know when u are all intercooled....***also, how was the fit and the quality of the stillen hood? any install problems? i bought a steeda hood before for my 99 281 saleen and it was average quality and a pain in the *** to install.....please give me all imput possible...thanks again and good luck.....joe

 

VEGASTOY:

Where in the world did you get your guy humping the Honda?

BTW, later post put the Vortec at 412hp ...I believe at crank, dyno results will answer all questions in a couple of weeks after someone gets one installed.

 

OK my install is complete. Of course after I picked it up from Stillen In Costa Mesa I had to drive all the way back to Los Angeles. I picked my car up at 4:30pm. Well needless to say it started raining and California drivers have no business being on the road during the rain and during rush hour. To make a long story short it took me 3 hours to get home and I averaged about 11 miles per hour. Not really the conditions I could test out the new installs. So Sat morning I took it out. The car is a different beast. No pinging, immense amount of torque. So much torque that on one launch the housing of my rear view mirror flew off. Easy to put back but it is out of control. My buddy has a twin turbo porsche and he went out for a ride and can't believe the amount of torque on the car. Stillen also dynoed my car and it put out 336 rwhp and 298 torque. They also tested an ATI and the ATI put out about 350 rwhp. The torque curves on the 2 cars is astonishing. My car puts out about 60 ft-Ilbs more torque at take off than the ATI and the ATI doesn't catch up until above 5500 rpm. My car's torque is at 290 at 2500 rpm and doesnt deviate. As soon as I find my scanner I will post the Dyno.

I cant wait for the SPort Z test in December. We'll see how my car does.

Those guys at Stillen have been awesome and have done a great job. I havent dealt with ATI but I would recommend Stillen especially with this new intercooled 7 ILbs set up, it rocks!!!!

 

glad to hear everything is working well for you...! how bout some info on that stillen hood?!?!?!? see my post above for info needed...thanks and welcome back to ur Z...joe
