Yeah I think it will be stock mani like gtm

The design is similar to the old one. Just a lot better as it will come with the upgrades that guys are having to pay a lot more for. Its a supercharger kit that offers the power everyone wants but at a very affordable price.

Options will be available. A front crash bar is one of them.

Might have to sell the A2A kit and wait for the new one..

Here's some fun news for you guys. I know I haven't ran the V3 T-Trim for long, but I picked up a slightly damaged V7 YSI for cheap and will be installing it as soon as I get parts to rebuild it.

I'll be testing a few things out in regards to pulley combos and capping top end boost/torque. Hopefully my stock block will hold out, but we shall see. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e554bbc992.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...077336f8a3.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ee4e6301b1.jpg

I will be offering a full, standalone supercharger system that will easily put down the most power dollar for dollar than any other supercharger kit on the market. More details to come.

I can say that it will be a V3 headunit that comes with the Si upgrade out of the box.

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?

Only the impeller needs to be replaced, so for the price I got it for, it's slightly damaged

It uses the same mounting bracket as the V3 and has already been test fitted on another vehicle.

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.

TopgunZ 10-17-2017 07:09 AM

Im excited to see the outcome of this project, Milkcow. You should start your own thread though so we can keep all this traffic organized.

Who knows. If this badboy works out good maybe it could be an option for others down the road who want a built motor setup.

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.

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.

wideglideleon 10-18-2017 01:34 PM

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.

Hey Topz, I replied to your PM about my deposit

redondoaveb 10-20-2017 12:27 PM

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

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

If the stillen sc kit is sold for your model car the kit is compatible.

it is, sweet can't wait to see this, was saving up for the Stillen kit but I'll hold off now :icon17:

imazman 10-23-2017 08:57 AM

Any idea of a time frame when your SC kit will be available?

TopgunZ 10-23-2017 09:14 AM

I am hoping around thanksgiving.

I'm ready for an A2A! PM sent!

imazman 10-25-2017 09:08 AM

Woohoo...getting my Motordyne LT headers back from being ceramic coated today and just reserved an A2A kit from the next batch! Finally going to get a reliable and safe setup and then will follow up with a real tune!

Others might want to get your deposit in now to reserve one of the next 5 production runs and you can boost with confidence!

G3RSTY7 10-25-2017 04:59 PM

I currently am tuned on Uprev ARC with my N/A setup. Once I have this supercharger setup on my car, my option will be to upgrade both MAF's with the GT MAF's ($700), or save that $700 and put it towards an Ecutek E-tune with SD since we have no Ecutek tuners in Colorado. If I choose the latter, should I be concerned about the significant elevation changes in Colorado that could throw off my numbers heavily when SD tuned? If I drive up to the mountains that's 5000-9000' higher, if I go on a road trip that's much more oxygen as well (and where the real danger hides if I go with the 2.85" pulley with Si trim).

wideglideleon 10-25-2017 05:31 PM

Do a remote tune with Sebastian @ speciality Z call him he is awesome and can answer your questions. He has my SC Z running great.

Front Crash Bar solution
 
I am curious on how many people who have Topgunz A2A kit have (and have not) installed some kind of crash bar? If they did install a crash bar, did they install OEM somehow, purchase Fast Intentions, or make their own?

My sc with a2a kit is almost complete and I have the fast intentions crash bar on order. It's suppose to work fine as the stock one will not work.

The shop that did my A to A installation cut a small section out of the OEM crash bar for the IC clearance and seam welded the cut section to get it's strength back.

Might it be possible to show a pic of what they did?

TBatt 11-07-2017 01:03 PM

FI crash bar is what I did.

redondoaveb 11-07-2017 04:40 PM

My FI crash bar just came in. I test fit it with the a2a kit. It fits perfect.
