Preparation for the STILLEN supercharger

2003-2006 Nissan 350Z Supercharging Systems | Vortech Superchargers

Alright I missed the line that said "Integrated charge cooling" so the intercooler is included in the vortech kit but the prices are straight from the page. the price of the head unit can be found on the site as well. the vendors probablyy do get a price break on that but the point that it does cost significantly more than the magnusson blower from the last stillen kit is valid. an accesport costs over 600$(which we don't even know if this is what they are using), the supercharger is over the 2000 mark, a cold air intake that has the same amount of piping costs 300-600 dollars, the belts bracketry and all the other parts probably cost another 2000-3000 if you include the manifold, and intercoolers are not cheap, then there is labor and overhead, legal fees, warranty insurance, carb approval, marketing, shipping costs, it sure as hell isn't going to be 5000 and if it is stillen worked some god damn impressive haggling miracles.

I'm going to ask the same question i asked in the GTM thread and that is how come the maf sensors aren't placed ahead of the supercharger to measure the actual uncompressed air charge with IAT's split off and mounted into the manifold to measure the real intake temps, or were you able to upgrade the stock MAP sensor to gauge the pressure created in the manifold? Or are we looking at a tune that is going to modify the VE tables to simply go around that?

Remember...We haven't posted all of our pictures and data yet!

You have some great questions and I think you will be pleasantly surprised by our answers.

Thank god somebody finally saw this it's been like 5 freakin pages since the first time I asked it. The vague answer I'll have to live with as i can understand the secrecy especially with all the warring going on

No warring going on over here! To be honest, Josh and I are texting back and forth laughing at all the nonsense.

As I said in another thread we wish GTM the best of luck with their supercharger kit. It is always great to have competition. You must remember our company heritage, numerous world championships in many different forms of motorsport...We LOVE competition!!!

yeah i'm having a ball about all this as well so long as you guys aren't getting upset. As i said in the GTM thread we love all our vendors/sponsors and don't want to see you guys fighting over anything other than price
