Preparation for the STILLEN supercharger

Will the supercharger have self contained oil cooling? I ask this, because I had a Vortech long ago and I had to tap the oil pan and run a line

Yes, we are using one of the new Vortech blowers with the self-contained oiling system.

Good to hear. Sounds like a V-3.

hey im highly considering ur supercharge it sounds amazing a couple of concerns i have thought are has this supercharger been tested in hight temperature, because im from the middle east and as u knw it could get reaaly hot there seeing that the 370z allready has oil coller problems, and will it affect if u stop in traffic in hight temperaturs, sry 4 these questions but im kinda new with these sort of things :P and another concern of mine is can i use my car for daily driving without facing any problems?

All great questions!

We have not yet finalized the testing of the supercharger but I can assure you that high temperature climate testing is on the testing list. As well as, high altitude, low altitude, cold climate, wet weather, and we also really want to get it to the race track and watch the oil temps on the track.

You got more going for you than GTM at this point! I think yall really have made your focus on sc rather than turbo compared to GTM.

Actually it does matter, because dynos and prices are not everything.

True, there are actually dozens of variables to consider, power delivery and price are just the main things, for me at least.

My point is that all this speculation, who's farther ahead in R&D, who's first to release, etc. is pointless until both GTM and Stillen release all the details themselves.

just wanted to point something out- when most of us talk about power delivery we do not mean max power. supras have great max power but the delivery sucks. sooo... just something to think about

This is got to be one of the most exciting thread on the370.com. Keep up the good work, Stillen, and please update us with more information as they come along.
