I'm looking at buying a used Stillen blower on Craigslist (link below) and I wanted some advice first. I'm not new to forced induction, but I am new to boosting an import (drag raced Mustangs my whole life).

Craigslist ad: http://miami.craigslist.org/pbc/pts/4768292049.html

The seller claims the blower has 15k miles on it and the reason for selling is that the Z it was on was wrecked. At the bottom of this post is a picture of a list of the parts he says are needed to complete the kit.

Does anyone know if this list is legitimate and is actually what is needed to complete everything? Any help is appreciated!

In case the ad gets taken down, below are the pics and info.

"The supercharger is incomplete but I have the list of what u need from the stilllen company to complete the supercharger. $550."

 

I don't see a new hood on that list...

 

That kit is "The Crappest" FI you can put on a Z.

 

Yeah I know an aftermarket hood is required.

I thought an Ebay turbo kit was.

 

Hhahaa yes

Worse than Godspeed Turbo Kit?

 

I wouldn't call stillen 'crappy' it's actually a very well crafted kit. But as far as affectiveness (horsepower per dollar) it's lacking BIG time.

 

I agree, plus im not a fan of the hood modifications. Not worth it imo.

Save your money and plan your build out with a more capable kit.

 

does he have pics of it on his car, proof it was actually installed... dyno sheets.... original sale receipt?

 

The general feedback I've gotten from anyone before when asking about this blower was "not worth the money" which, if I were buying a brand new $5k kit I would agree. I saw this and for the price thought it might be worth it but I may just wait.

It was on a friend's car according to him, no proof, dyno sheet or sale receipt. I was planning on meeting him in person as he lives in the same state, still debating.

 

i would walk, prob be more trouble than its worth.... the it was on a friends car story i think is BS.

 

You'd be better off waiting for a used Vortech kit to pop up. From everything I've read this supercharger is a POS no matter how well crafted it may be. You ever look at quarter mile times with this kit? Many HRs go faster which is a joke.

 

Matt dont do itttttttttttt

 

That and he said the blower is still powder coated bronze, yet the picture of it in stock black form on the ground with the extra parts is the most recent one... fishy.

Yeah the 1/4 mile times and hp #'s are lacking. I'm just tired of N/A and on a limited budget but I should just wait until something better comes along.

Ant? I don't think I'm going to. I'm just boost hungry lol.

 

Kevin (not hachi) lol

You can spray that thing and make more power than that blower. haha

 

Save up the money and do it right!

 

Well you can spray and make more power than alot of set ups.

 

If you slammed the toilet seat on your peg repeatedly you would have more fun than with that POS kit. It's not worth any of your money or time.

 

Funny

 

 

Did you end up buying?
