Edit: You are looking at the dimensions of the inlets/outlets by the way. I don't think they list the actual dimensions of the blowers, but you can find pics online. The V7 is slightly larger, but has the same mounting bolts.

As long as you know [and the V7 has successfully been integrated to the Stillen kit] ... the V7 is physically larger than the V3...and is overkill, unless you have a built motor and are really shooting for the moon power wise.
From what I've researched, the V7 is less efficient at lower RPMs.

The mounting bracket does work - it's the other clearances and belt alignments that you'll have to address.

I did attempt to upgrade the Stillen with a V2-TI a few years back [similar in size to the V7] and ran into some issues here.

This was before TogGunZ came out with his Stillen A2A kit.
TopGunZ bought my Stillen Kit to begin his design project.
Which has been 'Super' Successful by all accounts...Kudos.

Yeah, I actually didn't go this route at first because I heard the V2 had some issues. I guess it may have been you people were discussing.

There are certain properties to the V7 that are better than the V3 and there are multiple ways to fix the efficiency and lower end issues. Belt alignment is fine though. My only fear is that I may run into belt slip issues with this setup. I'll be posting a new thread once I get my car back, but it will be interesting to see how well the stock block handles.

Questions sir!

Where will the SC be mounted, same position?
If not, then where and and got any photos of the bracket?
Can we buy the bracket seperate for those have the original Stillen kit already?

Can I get an answer on the above? :hello:

And one more, and probably the one most important to me, does your setup allow a proper 3" intake pipe to be routed from SC unit to outside the engine bay somehow without some God awful bends or kinks?

TopgunZ 10-18-2017 08:01 AM

Again, the design is very similar to the existing design. The idea here is not for guys that have the A2A kit already to upgrade to a better kit. It is for those who want a supercharger and do not yet have a kit. So it is a kit available on the market for around $6k (tuner) that makes great power out of the box vs. having to spend upwards of $9 to $10K + to reach power limits that everyone is chasing with a supercharger.

Will your new kit work with the stock intake manifold/throttle bodies?

TopgunZ 10-18-2017 10:50 AM

It will be replaced with the dual side manifold and keep the Y pipe. Stock throttle bodies are utilized.

Stillen manifold? That thing is such a PITA to install or remove with those %&#% hidden bolts.

G3RSTY7 10-19-2017 11:58 AM

Aaron have you posted about this development to myg37 or should i start a thread letting people know its happening?

Well, at least you only have to put it on once since it is done right this time.

Oh yeah man! The guy with the Q50sc also has a sick video. I watch those and tears of excitment gush out of my eyes, my god I can't wait! We'll see how long a stock block lasts with the supervortech, especially if I run a small pulley.. maybe I should stick with the standard at first so I at least get some enjoyment before the thing blows

Z Warrior 10-23-2017 08:33 AM

Will the new kit be compatible with the 08 G37 coupe RWD 5AT?
