Topgunz - air to air upgrade

StillenZ84 · 08-15-2016, 03:33 PM

I was the first to get this kit from Topgunz and just wanted to update everyone. My car is still running very strong and have had 0 problems at all. We worked through issues when I got the kit to get everything to fit and function correctly. When installing this kit, you need to follow the instructions to the T or the kit will not work right. This includes using the supplied couplers, tubing, and trimming out the pieces on the car that enable each part of the kit to fit. The kit isn't going to fit perfectly at first because no kit ever does. It takes time and patience but in the end you will be more than happy that you took the time to install everything correctly. I have nothing but great things to say about Aaron and the kit and how this kit has made my car a different animal not only because it added much more HP than the original setup but that it made my car much more safe to drive. So for all the skeptics and non believers you are missing out if you do not have this kit. It has 0 issues if you install and take the time to do things right the first time. This isn't directed towards anyone at all I just wanted to give my input since I was the first to get the kit. If you are having problems with installing the kit, don't get upset and just continue to work towards getting it right. We are all here to help and if you have a problem I'm positive someone will have a solution to help you get it right.

Ok, back from Tampa. Parts are all from Napa.
Pulley- 54 mm #36375
Belt- Micro V 6 rib #061093
You will also need a bolt, washers, and a drive belt pulley spacer.

You need to take your time to ensure that the belt is lined up properly on each pulley. TAKE YOUR TIME or else you could cause some damage.

I have not had one issue with this setup and have no belt slip what so ever.

Many thanks! The only other pulley I could find was a 50mm but it was way too wide at 1.5 inches where we need 28 mm (1.1 inches). I'll get the pulley from NAPA tomorrow and check out their bolts and such while I'm there.

I have the 8 rib and 6 rib belts on the way. I am trying an experiment to see if I can remove one rib from the 8 rib to make it a 7. If it doesn't work then the 6 will go on.

Question, just how tight does the 8 rib SC belt need to be? Right now mine is very tight. Anyone measured it with a belt tension meter?

TBatt · 08-15-2016, 07:46 PM

Okay, thanks for the info. Not sure when I will have time to do this but will give it a try the next time I have things apart.

What kind of gap should I have between the volute and frame rail?

TopgunZ · 08-15-2016, 07:57 PM

Basically trim the lip all the way down to the frame, then I'd leave a good 2mm gap in there for motor movement.

Let me find a pic.

Also, the sc shouldn't be too tight. All your slip is in the serp. I could twist mine almost 90.

Boom

BOLIO 671 · 08-23-2016, 05:31 AM

Is there anyone that has bought this kit that is able to provide the dimensions and weight of the kit when it was shipped to you? I'm in the process of trying to figure the shipping to where I am at as the shipping costs for this kit only covers the 48 states and I am over seas.

Any info will be greatly appreciated. I reached out to Topz but I guess he's been busy

If someone can help Bolio out that would be great. SInce i ship one box directly from Treadstone i do not have a way to measure that. I am away for work until Friday again so i can get you a dimension on the box that i send when i get back.

But, if someone that has recently received a kit they could measure both boxes also.

Yes. I just need an the box dimensions and an estimated weight on both boxes to get me a figure for shipping since I am over seas! Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Mine is in the shop now getting installed I'll see if they still have the original boxes I can at least try to get dimensions.

I'll have dyno #'s by Monday or Tuesday at the latest as well...

TopgunZ · 08-23-2016, 02:45 PM

Just so you guys know, there should be a handful of guys putting up dyno numbers later this week and into next week. The results are going to be awesome!

BOLIO 671 · 08-26-2016, 09:12 PM

Topz did the pipes come in? I'm ready to jump on this

nic370 · 08-27-2016, 02:14 AM

Hi from the UK guys

Little background on my situation i had a stillen kit on my last 370 and now have it ready to go on my new 370 but think this is a must before I fit the kit again

What sort of wait is there on your kit ?

Is that intercooler fitting behind the stock crash bar or do we throw that in the bin ? (Trash)
