Yeah. With this kit, I'm more concerned about the intercooler horsepower rating. Stillen has claimed that they are using an internally lubricated unit and according to Vortech, they only have one blower that is internally lubricated... the V-3. I have no doubt that this blower will be more than capable of producing some serious power, just whether or not custom intercooler work will be required for future expansion.

I am more concered with the noise the Vortech will make. I have never been around one but I have heard they are loud!

I've been in a 350Z with a vortech S/C, and I could barely hear the noise over the exhaust/stereo. I could tell you though, that car is the fastest car I have ever been in, and I've been in a some quick cars, lol. The guy said it had about 400whp, but seemed like a whole lot more and it just keep pulling hard all the way to redline. So without a doubt, the stillen Supercharged 370Z will be an absolute beast.

Kyle, I would like to run a larger oil cooler...at least 34 rows. Will I be able to fit that along with the intercooler?

Zguy · 01-20-2010, 09:17 AM

I just want to see it already....

Not sure yet RCZ! I'll look into this for you in the next couple of days. We are currently testing the kit on our G right now but it will be making the switch to the Z soon. PM the part number and description of the cooler that you're looking at running so I can get dimensions and take some measurements for you.

Yes, you read that correctly...We are driving the supercharged G37 today!!! Unfortunately the rain is coming down pretty steadily all week so we won't be able to get any numbers (outdoor dyno) and we still need to do some tuning anyways before we're ready to release final power numbers but that should be coming along soon.

Our dyno is an outdoor dyno (thankfully we back right on to the John Wayne airport runway so we don't have any noise complaints) so when the rain comes down, we can't do any dyno testing/tuning.

We should have some video's/photo's in the next day or two.

hmm, Off the top of my head the dimensions were something like 7.75"X22". Obviously it would go across the long side. It's your non race kit with an upgraded setrab core I need to buy. However if it doesn't fit then I'm going to have to do something else. Maybe you guys can come up with something

simota1 · 01-20-2010, 03:34 PM

im super excited when this thing comes out..

G37Sam · 01-20-2010, 04:55 PM

RCZ · 01-20-2010, 05:02 PM

^ Ya...they dont care if the G blows up. Valuable info for the Z development

I don't mind the bigger brother taking the beating for the smaller one

travisjb · 01-20-2010, 07:58 PM

umm, you might just be outnumbered here, Sam

Buddy Revell · 01-20-2010, 08:34 PM

LOL, G or Z who cares? We have the same engine, so whatever the kit's being developed on is good for everyone.

RCZ · 01-20-2010, 11:17 PM
