Default Anyone have a Stillen Supercharger ?

I would like to know if anyone has the Stillen supercharger on their car. I am interested in the stage 3 unit with intercooler. Claimed to be very quiet and reliable. Power is supposed to besmooth from idle. I want it for fun not racing. Will it fit the '06 with the Stillen Stage 2 hood? Any info will be great!!

I will trade you my 05 for your 06 if you want it that bad. Has everything instaled just turn the key and drive.

Just kidding, just wait there will be something for the 06. If I had an 06 I would be calling JWT. They will give you just want you need.

Yeah the Stillens are loud-but sound excellent. I recently drove one down the 1/4, it was so fun hearing that thing whine down the 1320...

Check with superchargedg. He's running the Stillen stage-3 setup. It's sick. The twin screw sounds amazing at WOT...

Plenty of people have it on their Z's.

It is the perfect mod for "having fun" as you said. As long as you have the funding to back it up. Also, blown motors are NOT IMPOSSIBLE with this kit even if they say it is reliable. Just a word of warning.

Try contacting Stillen to see if it fits the 06.

A lot of people bash the Stillen, but if it fits your wants and needs then go for it.

What they mean is it is quiet at idle. A lot of superchargers had a bad rep for being noisy at idle. The Stillen, AKA Magnuson EatonRoots, blower is indeed quiet at idle. It really whines at WOT, but I count that as a plus. This blower is on a lot of cars besides Zs and thus has a long track history. The low boost levels also tend to make the Stillen install reliable.

Thanks guys I appreciate the info. I would expect it to roar at wot I just want it kind of quiet at idle. I also think it looks "business" in black. The stage 2 hood appears to have a scoop on it that allows you to barely see the sc. Not to keen on having to change the hood too at 650.00 but for some reason I just like screw chargers and ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

You can go with the carbon fiber hood at about 700, but the fiberglass hood looks better IMHO. Unfortunately it needs a lot of work before painting and it is going to run more like 1400.

the open scoop in the hood would help a bit and look really, really cool. Local buddy of mine, MLG (the guy that builds z enclosures) has the 'whale' hood that has the scoop that isn't open......would look absolutely SICK if it was.
