Hey, do you have a dyno of your stage 4? I searched and couldn't find any dynos of a stage 4. I'm curious to see what the curves look like. Thanks.

 

Look at my post (#44) in this thread, which includes my Stage 4 dyno.

 

I enjoy the stage 4 quite a bit. I won't lie, i'd love to have more power (who wouldn't?), but the reality is the car pulls pretty hard at just about any rpm up to 5,600 or so, which I understand is not the case for some of the other FI options, and is a blast for stoplight to stoplight driving. Since I don't spend much time at all at the track and was interested in something that was (relatively) safe and reliable, the stillen made a lot of sense for me.

 

i have no idea what i did with the dyno sheet.it was a while back.

 

I use my Z as a daily driver so the Stillen kit was perfect for me. I only have a stage one at the moment and am waiting on a new electric water pump (accidentally broke my old one, oops) to upgrade to a stage three. Even with their basic kit I feel plenty of TQ which suits my needs plus very reliable, at 67k my engine runs strong and pulls hard. No issues other then some squeaky belts which is my fault b/c I did not adjust them correctly when doing the install, will correct it this coming weekend, simple fix

 

The high side line melted.

 

And to clarify, the Stage 1 is not CARB certified right? Only stage 2?

 

if stage 2 is, why wouldn't the less aggressive stage 1? does that make any sense to you? lol.

Stage 1 and 2 are both carb, 3 and 4 are not iirc. Or maybe 1-3 is and 4 isn't.

 

From what I have been told or read the stage one recently became CARB certified and in reality even the stage three could be as well if it didn't cost so much to do so, the reason the stage two is b/c its their most popular kit not b/c it is somehow magically different from the other stages. I have gotten my info from reliable sources either directly from Stillen or ppl close to them. Also I don't know if you haters are aware that they have also been developing another upgrade for their line of S/C's which should be out by the end of this year or beginning of next that is suppose to compete with some of these turbo kits out there. Use your search and I am sure you will find bits and pieces of this info on this site

 

What ^^^ said. Stage 2 is just stage 1 with an intercooler, I believe.

 

Yeah, it is. That's interesting that it's more of a marketing thing than a technical thing (promoting that Stage 2 only is CARB).

As for Stillen's next upgrade, I heard that they canned the project because they weren't seeing impressive enough gains over the current stage 4. I hope I heard wrong though.

 

I heard this rumor as well but from the little hints Stillen keeps dropping it seems that they are still in full swing but the final product might take a little longer then originally anticipated. These products are rigorously tested before any sale is made, stillen is known for their reliability and they want to keep it that way. I personally am not to happy with their customer service but the products more then make up for it. Keeping my fingers crossed for this to happen. I keep hearing about a bigger blower which would make sense since the one currently offered is pretty maxed out at stage 4. I just hope they offer some sort of exhange or upgrade for previous owners if not I am scarred to find out how much that will cost. Another thing I want to know is hot it will fit under the already modified hood, I think that anything bigger then whats already out would obstruct my vision. Anyone care to comment?

 

stage 2 is the only carb legal stage period.and they have just about canned the idea of the m90 blower upgrade.

 

This is news to me Where did you hear this from. Up until a month ago I was told that this project was still going.

 

ill send an e-mail to someone I have been in contact with over there and see if I can get some more info on this. guess we will have to wait and see?

 

a couple weeks back ttrank from g35driver was talking to sam,he said its on the shelf for now.

 

If you all are referring to the M90 project (the one where the new blower would allow the use of the factory hood), it was scraped. I talked to Stillen last month about it when they released the S/C for the 2006 models. They did say the reason the project was canned was because they could not get the numbers they were looking for, and their current kits were making more power.

In case some of you have not seen this thread:

i think things got crossed up a bit.the m90 is a larger blower then what we have now....the m62.it will not fit under a factory hood as the m62 dosent fit the factory hood.and for a fact if they used the m90 it would make a ton more power.dude get your facts straight.

the current blower is the m62 and it is maxed out.if they could get the m90 under the stillen hood it would produce plenty of power,man im happy you got a stillen but you are totally off base with your comments.listen i have had the stillen since 8/03 and i know all the updates,but the problem is the m90 is way to big to fit under the current stillen hoods.

 

I read this many times and it was something high on my Vortech con list. But recently I measured interior sound level in G35X and at idle it was 82 db. Noise never increased to 85 db while driving under 3K rpm. Unfortunately G35X driver (Xman), stayed under 3K rpm so I don’t know what is sound level under boost.
My N/A G35cMT have idle noise ~80 db.

 

if noise is an issue with you, the Stillen is by far the loudest form of FI out there. Stillen blowers will deafen the competition LOL
