Topgunz - air to air upgrade

EVOHUNTER · 05-02-2016, 05:41 PM

Thanks! got mine coming.

Going to put my timing cover back on tonight, hopefully I fixed my low oil pressure issue.

dyno in a few weeks!

Well Seb has got the transmission shifting now. Waiting to see what he wants to do now.

Everything with me went good today. Got some good logs with no CEL flashing. I cant believe how strong the car feels. Really the first time I was able to go to redline without it pulling timing.

Awesome! Yeah, I noticed mine after around 5500rpm really starts to put you into the seat. That's usually about when my wife grabs onto the O'shitt handles.

Gosh, seeing all of you guys doing this makes me want to jump into it too! I've just been waiting three months on my car to get out of the shop and still working on issues:/.. I will be looking to purchase this kit diffenitly this year though!

Is there an advantage of using this kit vs. say buying a Fast Intentions Turbo kit? Looks like it might potentially be a little less costly, but seems like there were an awful lot of steps and ongoing tuning required to get things dialed in. Is perhaps the hp and torque curve being more linear due to use of a sc vs a turbo another advantage?

The FI kit is tried and tested as with the Air-2-Air setup we've yet to see any real miles with the kit up and running. I hope the best for all the guys making the Air-2-Air change as it corrects most of the problems with the original Stillen design but we need more miles driven to know how well it works.

Other than that it depends on what you are looking for in performance. A SC car responds completely differently than a turboed car.

TopgunZ · 05-04-2016, 03:06 PM

I only have about 1400 miles of smiling fun on my Air to Air kit. Not sure where the threshold for "its proven" is but I cant see anything going wrong at this point.

However, yes I am the only one who really has time on it.

Turbo's will be a more torquey and you can feel it kick in where the supercharger basically feels like the stock car with twice the power.

Your right though, there were a lot of steps that were needed to dial it in. That's what is needed when you change something on anything. Before I decided to produce these for others. I basically threw it on in my garage in a couple of weeks, tuned it, and drove it for six months at almost 500whp. Trying to get it mass produced is different.

Jwillis had a terrible experience because he had a terrible shop trying to do something that hadn't been done before.

Once the two kits that I have sold, one for the 370z and one for the G37, are tuned and ready to go I will make an "official" thread to purchase these kits from with details on what you get and a complete set of work instructions so you can see how it goes on.

Pauly Z · 05-04-2016, 03:22 PM

It took me a couple months to change mine and I have about 200 miles on it so far. I'm still in the tuning process through ecutek. It's a remote tuning process by Seb at Specialty Z, so it takes a little longer to get everything dialed in. The car feels awsome and it's nice to see the intake temps at 10-20 over ambient and for the ecu to read them accurately. Anyone who has the Stillen Kit or wants it should do this.

Yes, remote tuning is a very long process. I just take mine in and its done in 3 hours. If your only option is a remote tune through Sebs then it is what it is and I have heard nothing but great things from his knowledge.

Jazz8560 · 05-04-2016, 04:59 PM

Looking forward to getting this done on my car soon!

tweZ74 · 05-04-2016, 05:00 PM

Thanks guys! Great feedback! I'll continue to monitor for long term results and the official thread!

Coming to the final stretches of my tune. Here is a quick clip of a full throttle pull through 1st and 2nd and 3/4 throttle through 3rd and 4th. The road I was on was a little sketchy so I let out a little but it is pulling extremely hard. Note I have M/T ET Street 2's. Hit right under 10 psi 1st and 2nd so not sure what I will hit top of 4th. I have seen 11 psi so far in 3rd just not this pull. Probably wont get an accurate max psi until I hop on the dyno. Seb has my AFR WOT low 12's. Said he might go a little more rich and call it good. My timing is around 22 deg advanced as of now.

You were ripping through those gears pretty quick! And that tial is sounding good on there.
