Preparation for the STILLEN supercharger

Kyle@STILLEN · 01-08-2010, 01:28 PM

you just threw out celsius numbers...Let me recalculate to fahrenheit...friggin' Canucks! LOL

100* temps= 212
30* temps=86

OK, so when visiting the 1/4 mile on an 86 F degree day you are seeing temperatures in the 212 F range.

I can't say exactly what is different but a 13 second pass down a 1/4 mile is not giving the engine much time to heat up the oil in comparison to a 30 minute session around a race track where you are constantly unloading and loading the engine and putting significant stress on the oiling system. I'm not saying that a blast down the drag strip is easy on the oiling system, but in comparison the race track is going to be harder on the oil for a longer period of time. It is my understanding that the majority of the cars overheating the oil are experiencing this issue on the race track.

Wow Kyle I'm impressed. Thanks for the pics and thanks for the answers to my ?'s....

My car blew up today... I wish I would have bought all of the items that you suggested... I couldn't freakin stop to hop out the big ball of fire that was my car because I didn't get the darn brake upgrade and fluid upgrade... Damn, wouldn't that bl0ww..

Anyway, I think I am going to wait for the S/C release then just buy all of your suggestions then... Thanks again... I love the pics by the way...

How soon before we can see some NUMBERS?!?!?!?!

HAHA halon great stuff if you want to die from asphyxiation. Just remember to put one nozzle in the passenger compartment pointed at your face. That is race only fer sure.

Minicobra1 · 01-10-2010, 03:57 AM

StillenZ · 01-10-2010, 05:54 PM

NewYorkJon34 · 01-10-2010, 08:22 PM

Kyle, will there be an all inclusive kit that has everything I'll need, plus the warranty. Or will it come with everything, except the tune?

Josh@STILLEN · 01-10-2010, 08:25 PM

Either.. there will be two pre-packaged kits including a tune. One CARB legal kit, another not street legal competition kit with higher boost, and one with everything you need to build and tune yourself, for whatever your HP goals..

NewYorkJon34 · 01-10-2010, 08:57 PM

Josh, maybe you can tell me what kit would be best, I don't take my car to the track, I want a real reliable kit & I'm looking for about 450-500hp/350tq (estamite), and that's priced reasonably.

Probably not the CARB legal kit.

Josh@STILLEN · 01-10-2010, 09:05 PM

As we get closer to release, we'll have some additional information that will aid in your determination for the kit you're looking for.

You can keep track of the STILLEN blog for updates: 370Z / G37 Supercharger System Progress: R&D : STILLEN

And I'm sure information will be posted on the forums as well..
