Before Installing Stillen Supercharger

Thanks everyone for your inputs. I am probably going to stick with the stock Stillen Surpercharger but might go with the EcuTek tune. I will add the A2A and idler

Thanks everyone for your inputs. I am probably going to stick with the stock Stillen Surpercharger but might go with the EcuTek tune. I will add the A2A and idler pulley if I want more power later down the road.


I learned from reading on other forums that the belt slippage occurs when upgrading to the 9lb pulley, right? So with the stock, there should be little to no slippage? I am guess the purpose of the idler pulley y'all recommend was to prevent slippage?

Thanks again

You might keep your Stillen warranty this way, but when the bad design and garbage tune blow your motor up you can be assured Nissan will not be coming to your rescue.

Heed the advice of this forum, if you are going to go FI with the Stillen kit do it properly. Research more on the flaws of this kit and you will be horrified that so many people are running it in the out-of-the-box state.

I honestly don't know why anyone on this forum would run this kit that way, having gotten all the information.

It's a massively compromised setup out of the box. There are tons of motor failures with it the way they designed it, and I'm genuinely surprised there aren't more.

Nothing wrong with that. Ecutek is probably the most important upgrade, and then there are numerous others from there in terms of both safety and performance.

Seb is definitely the man for tuning these things.
