Preparation for the STILLEN supercharger

Nice update!

Hoping for a good early bird special.. As then I'll just take the plunge...

Kyle@STILLEN · 02-23-2010, 01:57 PM

I decided to run out to the dyno really quickly to take a quick picture of the temperature sensors I was telling you about. The yellow wires are coming off of the temp. sensors. They will not be included in the kit because they are just a datalogging device for our testing. So don't worry about them being strewn across the engine bay! That's just for testing!

Also, the intake pipe looks like crap...We know this...It's a prototype...We actually tried to clean it up a few months ago to make it look more presentable and it ended up looking like crap LOL. The production piece will be polished and will look great.

You can also see the intercooler reservoir bottle has been mounted. It does a good job of covering up some of the valve cover but we will have a nicer piece developed when everything is completed.

Thanks for the pics, Kyle. Any ETA for the dyno results?

Ummm... Yea?

Picture looks great!

Is there a specific reason that there is a straight connection into the resevoir and not an elbow piece?

Probably just because it's still in prototype phase. As you can see there is enough room to cut down the hose so you could tighten that up if you wanted to.

Yeah, I should just wait until it's done.

I was just wondering if it was for a reason I didn't yet know.

Thanks for the updates, one thing is for sure, this thread gives extra trust in that you guys know what you are doing and not taking any changes with our engines.

I have so many questions about that picture haha.

Josh@STILLEN · 02-23-2010, 02:41 PM

No, the intercooler has it's own coolant system, with a reservoir you can now see, and an electric water pump to keep things flowing.

Here's a diagram:

great up date with great gains can't wait to see the dyno, im assuming its STD.

Oh and why anyone would want to cover something this sexy with a new engine cover is beyond me, but I guess it wont hurt to offer it.

At first I thought it was going to look like crap, but I'm sure with the production piping it's going to look pretty good!
