Bump!

Small update.

We have been working over the holidays to finish our CAD designs. We should have the CAD design finished in the next few weeks.

As a side note I wanted to let you all know that we are designing the kit in a way to allow everyone to keep their Cold air intake kits and to run any type of exhaust/headers they want. We will keep you posted.

i guess i will start saving my pennies starting now...

Interested in seeing the product. My Nismo is patiently waiting.

Yeah me too! Perfect excuse for a road trip to Florida.

What Florida, I didn't know they were in Tampa with me, need a test car, lol.

Unfortunately I'm way up in the far far East Coast of Canada. No decent tuners. Only two speed shops, but they mostly do muscle and drag cars. So if I want to get work done by people familiar with the platform, I've got to travel. About a 3 day drive.

:tup:Very nice.

Wow -- that looks great! This will definitely clear the hood? Will it require a different front strut bar? Looking forward to seeing the end product (and tempted to offer my car as a test mule if you don't already have one...)

Are the 70mm throttles going to clear the body?

CA legal or possibly a CA legal seperate?
Bolt on and tune
No need to upgrade other parts such as the other superchargers out there..

I most likely would get it

We would need a newly designed strut tower brace for the root system. Correct?

70mm throttle bodies will be accommodated as an option from what I have talked to them about the design.

As far as strut brace they are planning on it as an option

The CARB kit is going to be the stage 1 kit from what I am told.

Man, I just realized you guys are in Tampa! Woot!

This has acquired my interest

Mine too.

I remember making a post years back about this very thing...not specifically the whipple sc but just building a motor to the max and making a custom sc kit that could make serious power like some of the turbo kits on the market and now its real! So excited! I got so used to my stillen sc and a linear power band that going TT kinda scared me a little considering ive never driven a twin turbo car that made serious power not to mention ive had to relearn how to drive my Z soooo many times over the 3 years ive owned it so adding that kind of boost would have made me start all over again with the courting process involved while becoming one with your ride! Im so excited to see what happens with this new kit.

Carb approved and i'm in

I've seen a few different variations of the Whipple SC & curious about the air cooling method that will be used; looking like a really low-profile unit.

Went for a spin in a Harrop PD TVS 1.9L on a ls3 and all i can say is wow!

Kit is very similar to this one

It felt like a 10L Can AM V8!

Almost made my buddy wear his slurpee whilst drinking it when a straight in the road opened up, the response is near on instant - the Torque was the best bit, instant and violent right off the bat, surged in the midrange had to hold on whilst in peaked to redline quickly, really stuffs you in the seat. Felt like a roller coaster:excited:

And RJ MFG is going to be a 2.9L unit - holy sheeet our VQ's are going to be dripping with stonk!

I hope RJ MFG can really over-engineer the cooling system.

I voted Rotrex but stuff that PD all the way!

The Intercooler core is not your traditional box intercooler. Due to the motor being a 60* block a traditional box intercooler would require the whole unit to sit high above the motor to fit. We are taking technology that's proven for over a decade in a non traditional intercooler core assembly that allows us to do a V shaped intercooler core assembly. More specifically there is an intercooler manifold with 4 individual cores. The manifold will then be hooked up to a hi pressure pump near the double/triple pass heat exchanger.

I would love to boost my z, but the issue is my 7AT. I'm not going to spent the same amount on a transmission upgrade as I would spend on a super charger or turbo kit. I think that's what's holding back a lot of the 7AT guys from boosting.

I want to see this done! subscribed! :tup: good luck guys!

So will the lower plenum be replaced?

The supercharger won't be able to go on a 7AT?

Yes it will. You just have to spin it slow to keep torque at 400. Its the crappy limiting factor of your AT. Then it costs 5K to get a bulletproof one where you could unleash the beast and make 600.

Well that sucks...the gods are trying to tell me something. ��

Yes it does suck, hence why I ill not be boosting my z. Now if a company would come up with a kit for the 7AT and price it at 2-3k then I would jump on it.

So about the only forced induction the AT can handle is the Stillen?

Yeah, but it'll kill your motor instead of the transmission unless you throw away everything but the blower and bracket and replace the stuff with an air-to-air setup.

What if you upgrade to the Lvl10 bulletproof valvebody and Fast Intentions flex plate? Does that enable the AT to go past 400?

Why will it kill the motor...seems to be a very mild hp and torque gain. By the way, I have Setrab power steering cooler, CSF radiator, and Stillen transmission cooler going on the car...hopefully done this week

And Manifold. :tup:

Do more homework. It's pretty common knowledge around here. The intercooler setup and maf placement make a Stillen kit a time bomb even though it doesn't make much power.

Gentlemen,

The Stock AT Transmission will hold to 400ftlbs no problem. It is when you get closer to 450 ftlbs to the wheels that the transmission is likely to lose gears 5, 6, and/or 7. We are working closely with Level10 for our AT customers. Our first stage 2 customer is already an AT customer. He will be getting the level10 bulletproof transmission package. That costs just shy of $5k for the works. This customer is shooting for over 800whp and Torque!

That's the issue for us AT guys, 5K is a lot of money compared to the MT guys who just need a clutch and flywheel. Someone needs to make a kit for the 7AT that is safe at 500-550 WHP for under 3k.

What if you want around 500wtq? Do you still need to drop 5K just in parts for this power level?

Yes that's my point. to me its ludacris to spend as much as a transmission upgrade. That's half of the cost of a SC/TT kit. A lot more of the 7AT guys would jump on the boost train if it were more reasonable in terms of the 7AT.

My goal would be 500-550 WHP and right at 450TQ SAFELY.

Your tuner should be able to get your near 500whp and 400wtq. I am at 520whp and only make 412wtq (my car is TT and M6...but those targets can be hit)

That's another thing being the 7AT my tuner advised me that a SC kit would be the only way to go. He stated the Turbo kit would make the TQ hit to hard and blow up the transmission.
