Preparation for the STILLEN supercharger

NewYorkJon34

^Was wondering the exact same thing?

I can hear a lot of gear back lash noise in the vortech, this is why I prefer the Rotrex unit, it sounds a lot better. Turbochargers without a doubt sound the best but then you have other issues from the Turbo to contend with.

It will be interesting to see the Stillen setup in action vs the GTM setup as I like both units. I feel the Stillen setup is far superior except for the compressor unit. GTM has the better compressor but I doubt it will perform as well becasue the stock intake and air to air intercooler will not be as effective as Stillens water to air intercooler. But, we will see when both setups hit the dyno.

Not to get off topic but I hear rumor that GTM will be making a single turbo kit for the 370.

I'd love to see some single turbo options. I've been wondering if anyone was going to do this, but didn't know if it was tough because of the VQ engine or not. Seems like there's always something difficult with our engine and mods.

I find it amusing how a few videos posted by somebody has caused a panic about Vortech superchargers.

^ yeah its always funny to watch this phenomenon. No one posts up the 100 other kits that make no noise because they were properly installed.

if anything that would be a deterrent.

especially if i have to circle them with a video camera to show the world how it makes less than 300hp but it has RYMS and a phat exhaust can yo, when there is an F'ing supercharged g35 right fricken next to it.

Development is coming along very well. Our tuner was working again today and is hoping to get back on the dyno as soon as tomorrow. We won't be releasing any of those numbers though. We are still waiting on the intercooler that is going into the manifold. This is integral when it comes to performance and tuning. Without the intercooler and all that hot air going into the engine we have to pull a bunch of timing and err on the side of caution so the dyno numbers won't be as good. Once the intercooler comes in we will be able to get more aggressive with the tuning and should be ready to release some numbers soon after.

Steve and our engineers have been reviewing the kit components and we've been sitting down to discuss pricing. We should have an answer shortly on where we lie for pricing. We may even be taking pre-orders pretty soon.

Kyle, are you using your own tuning software or bringing in another company? (Like copp, uprev, etc.)

I hope you are ready to be disappointed go on over to the vortech site and look at how much a base kit for 03-06 350z costs or hear let me do it for you 5,945.95 that is factory direct so the supercharger itself doesn't get cheaper than that, the fuel tunning is done through the uber cheap (and failure prone) turboxs utec, there is no custom manifold, there is no inter cooler, and if you are basing you're 5,000 dollar mark on the old stillen kit, a vortech V3 costs upwards of 2,500 dollars an mp62 costs less than 1500 so there is AT LEAST a 1000 dollars more cost than the old kit

Good post. Peeps gotta stay realistic about the cost of this.

+1. You have to pay to play. This looks like it's going to be a pretty comprehensive kit with the new intake manifold, intercooler, and canned tune so I can't imagine it being as cheap as some are suggesting.
