Topgunz - air to air upgrade

brucelidat · 04-23-2017, 07:10 PM

Seb will definitely say to go TT, but that will cost way more with the increased labor costs, extra upgrades, and transmission upgrade. I will just ask him if this A2A kit will make the Stillen SC kit a reliable car that can make good whp. With the more linear power delivery of SC, I won't need to upgrade my transmission. The 4.08 gears may have to go, but I would see how it is with them first. They would definitely need to go with TT though. If I decide to go this route, I will probably look for a used Stillen kit which is more likely to be found than a used FI TT kit. I think SCs generally have less maintenance and upkeep than TTs. I also kind of liek the idea of the power having a linear NA type of delivery.

Definitely will. He didn't hesitate after he made his first tune and assessment of this kit with StillenZ84....

On a side note, Seb finally finished off my tune...so took the Z to the track over the weekend and let me just say that I am all smiles here man. This kit is definitely track proven...and if it can withstand the local heat and humidity here on Guam it will definitely run cooler anywhere else in the world....

With the Stillen Kit I would encounter heat soak at the drag strip and could never accomplish consistent back to back times....Now with TopGunz's A2A Kit all my times are quicker and consistent....I just need to work on my 60 foot. Trap speed is there and higher within the 111-114mph range which should get me into the low 12's high 11's here once I nail the 60ft.

Are my vids showing up? Funny cuz on my desktop computer nothing is showing but while viewing with my mobile it gives the link.

ScottM · 04-24-2017, 05:37 AM

Yes the vids show up well. Both your car sounded and ran very well

TopgunZ · 04-23-2017, 08:39 PM

I am getting closer to bringing my own supercharger kit to the market if you want to wait. 500whp/400wtq for under $6500 tuner and $7500 turn key is the plan. I'm 99% sure I'll hit it.

I'll offer the first 5 kits at $500 off.

These kits will include a V3 blower with Si trim.

That setup is capable of over 600whp if done right, which will also happen.

Lol!!

No, because stock hood will work just fine. $$$$ savings $$$$

ScottM · 04-23-2017, 09:28 PM

That's great news Topgunz!!

Optimiser · 04-23-2017, 10:54 PM

Quick question:
Is it possible to clean/change the air filter on Topgunz kit without removing the supercharger?

Nope....You can't pull that thing on or put it back on without removing it. Too Tight of a fit.

Back from a much needed mini-vacation to Orange Beach, AL

Lots of rest, great seafood and washed it all down with some nice cold drinks!

The weather was near perfect.

For those of you that have ordered my additional idler kit, they are going out tomorrow. I have one or two left depending on a pending order. I'll have more available soon.

TBatt · 04-24-2017, 10:09 AM

While I was lazing on the beach, I was catching up on my Car & Driver magazines and came across a very interesting article on a CVT supercharger. The belt drive pulley attaches to a CVT that then attaches to the SC impeller. The article claims that the CVT allows the engine to run without boost at any rpm and then the CVT can go to max RPM on the SC in .4 sec to give instant boost! Sounds like a neat system if they can get it to work and hold up. The secret to making the CVT work was a very special oil that changes viscosity based on pressure.

Found it!

But the size of that bohemith! Where would you fit it? The platform would need to be built around this monster during design of the engine/bay.

TBatt · 04-24-2017, 10:45 AM

Details, details.........

You are right in that it would be very difficult to put in a Z but OH the possibilities!

brucelidat · 04-24-2017, 04:07 PM

So what are people making on 91 with this A2A kit on a Stillen kit with 8 or 9 psi pulley?
