Kyle,

Effect of the supercharger on our already poor cooling system? Now that you have a better idea of the size of the core, could we revisit the question of what size oil cooler we can fit along with it? Will you provide a relocation kit with your charger?

It is not possible to give solid data on this yet because we have not been able to get our 370 on the test track yet. The development is being done on the G37 and the 370 was in the modeling shop getting the new fascia developed. Fortunately our new fascia is coming along nicely and will incorporate a second oil cool for those of you who want to really ensure ultimate cooling. However, not everyone will want the fascia so our good friends at the NISSAN North American proving grounds in Arizona actually dropped off an O.E. fascia for us today that we will use for our testing when we do our drivability tests and our track testing. That way all of our testing is done and data collected using O.E. equipment that everyone else will have experience with.

I can say that our engineers have definitely taken a look at the additional oil cooler's and Steve has said that he wants to return the larger race oil cooler with the intercooler. So the GOAL is definitely to have plenty of cooling to all of the vital components.

So I forgot to tell you guys... Kyle got the inner-cooler in today and I drove my car out to Cali... They got everything installed in my car today and it's sweet!... run's on E85UB... the trip home was awesome and this thing is a beast. Thanks Stillen! It blows the virtual 370tt out of the water down in St. Louis.

let me just clarify so we are all on the same page here a good number is 400, a great number is 450, a "magical" number is anything over 500. That said can we hold you to great and magical right now?

Edit: actually if i buy this thing in the inter cooled race trim i expect magical to godly out of the box

400whp is a good DD number, but i'd hope the TQ numbers are almost even, if the power was around 450, i'd be ok with seeing TQ around 350-375

Kyle,

You mention that 2 things worth doing to the car that will prep it for a supercharger are the clutch/flywheel replacement and a cat-back exhaust upgrade to a 2.5". I was wondering about the cats themselves - worth replacing? You also mention not to do exhaust headers - which I understand means that a full exhaust is not necessary (as of right now). Are high flow cats unnecessary? Thanks for your advice.

Kevin

When we do our testing it will be with the standard cats and exhaust manifolds. I'm sure we will develop the tune further with the headers and high flows but to start with we won't have that informaiton immediately available which is why we are recommending that no one modify those parts just yet.

Keep in mind if you plan on purchasing the CARB legal supercharger then replacing the cats could and most likely will cause the car to fail inspection.

Kyle,

Thanks for your response. I plan on keeping the car CARB legal - good for the future of everyone so I'll just evaluate cat-back exhausts.

Cheers,
Kevin
