So for those of you who have been following, I think I have gone crazy... I could have sworn that when Mike said "I like candy red, like on my last 350Z!!!!!!", there was a badass picture that went with it????? Seriously... I can't find it anymore.. someone help... I just saw it earlier today I swear! lol wow

page 39

Thanks, back in the day when I did it, I got word that Steve even liked it!!!!!


btw, don't know what happened to the pics, they are still in my imageshack account, but direct doesn't seem to work right now. Maybe tomorrow?

sorry to be hogging posts here but the picture just doesn't show up anymore... it showed up earlier in the original post and then again in the quoted posts following and now I can't find it... I'm over it though..maybe it'll show up at work tomorrow...

Can't wait for more updates... only 3 days left in February.. uhoh

Thank you Kyle
 

Kyle,

Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. I understand how Stillen chose the centrifugal over the TVS.

Please don't misunderstand, I think Stillen is a great company and while I may not like all of the component choices, I respect the quality of work and final products you guys produce.

I did find the design of the intake manifold to be pretty cool with the intergrated exchanger. I have used similar designs in the past and have had great success with placing only heat sinks with heat pipes in the air flow (instead of running the coolant through it), then routing the heat pipes to an outside location where the coolant can flow over them creating a heat exchange cycle. Generally, that system can flow a higher volume of air at a lower pressure and has better heating/ cooling due to improved coolant flow and pressure. Might be an option if you guys start having manfacturing problems with the intergrated exchanger... or if you just need something else to play around with (can never have too many side projects lol).

Anyway, thanks again. You guys are a good bunch in my book.

Just wanted to let everyone know that R&D is way ahead of us. Josh and I had a few minutes to sit down with Steve the other day and talk about some of your concerns/requests and everything we mentioned they had either already changed or agreed with. The charge pipe support bracket was supposed to have some sort of design element but there wasnt time to dress up the prototype. It was however in the drawings though so it is part of the final design. Also, those blue silicone hoses...they'll be black to match better. And we also went through and made a few other suggestions of our own but for the most part it's just like we were talking about and they're simply prototype pieces that will be slightly different when everything is completed.

Thanks for the follow through and for not sweeping even small suggestions under the carpet. Sounds like you guys are really paying attention to the customers and the details. Nice work :tup:

You guys have no idea what we did today with the supercharged G..

*cough* *cough* Can someone say high performance testing on a certain abandoned marine base?

What you want video? It's coming.. :P

:excited::excited::excited::excited::happydance:

Wait I heard this works..



UPDATE VIDS NOW!!!!!!!!!!!

I had the pleasure of going for a high speed run with our engineer and Steve and all I can say is:

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD!!!!!!

I think you will enjoy the video's!

^Sam WTF?!?!?!

ummmmmm.... I'm all for funny pics but I don't think this forum will welcome that one!
