Well i finally pulled the trigger and just bought a turn key s/c from stillen. Its being installed by Jtran Studios in Houston, TX. Cant wait.

 

Congrats but did you do any research on that unit before purchasing it?

 

Curious?What made you buy the Stillen?
Did you research any others?

 

i knew i wanted to do a supercharger. they seem to have better reliability from what i've heard and easier to maintain. Stillen had a pretty good setup that seemed very compatible for daily driving which is what i would be doing.

why do i get the feeling you guys know something i don't? i talked to the performance shop before doing all this and they assured me it was a good DD kit.

 

i would have went with vortech. but more power to ya!

 

Good luck on the build. Just don't expect big HP numbers.....

 

I'm happy with 500hp.

 

Haven't heard that name come up in a long time for SC. Does it still require a new hood?

 

Vortech does not make a kit for the HR btw

 

No mr sparco, it will clear the stock hood ^_^

 

^ lol. Specs on your car please ..350z or 370?

 

Yea 500whp might be a pipe dream.

 

hope you're not expecting 500whp on stock engine. nismo 370z with stillen s/c at a local shop only made ~420whp.

 

think op has an hr so it wont require a new hood since its not root style

 

Nice, the Stillen hood is hideous. Congrats on the SC, FI ftw.

 

Like I said good luck with the kit but a more realistic goal is 400hp I would say

 

the shop told me around 500 at the crank. with 10% loss through the driveshaft, on the conservative side, im expecting around 430-440 hp.

 

Oh and yes, i have a 2008 with TD Borla exhaust and dual injen intakes at the moment.

 

Good luck on the built and congrat =)
I will personally suggest Vortech tho......500hp is easy to get to

 

Skyz33, i could not find a kit for the HR
