Preparation for the STILLEN supercharger

kdoske

Yeah once the piping is done this will look great. I only wish the water reservoir would have fit in the fluid compartment under the hood. Its a silly complaint considering how incredible this looks but it would still be a nice touch. I'm sure there is just no room for one with out making a custom fluid reservoir.

great work guys, can't wait for the dyno's!

Is there any concern for leakage from the intercooler in the manifold? Also If there is any defect with it and it ends up pouring coolant down into the combustion chamber is there any warranty for that?

Buddy Revell

The piping and manifold are fine, but the area right next to the manifold is a bit messy looking. But of course, function takes priority over form.

I'm shocked that GTM is still struggling to make 100bhp over stock while this kit is already making over 100whp, Stillen gets mucho props on this one.

Hold up now, before we start bashing all over again remember, GTM has only run a boost at 5psi and stillen has not even said what boost their 400WHP boost pressure was achieved at besides 'moderate boost'. That could mean 6psi or it could mean 10psi, we just don't know yet. Also, we don't know what correction method they are using for the dyno STD or SAE. I'm guessing its going to be STD because everything they have come out with so far is STD

I'm not saying when the results come in we can't all start talking smack but its still a little presumptuous.

Agreed. GTM's numbers thus far are also with the base level Rotrex on stock cats and exhaust.

There is absolutely no concern about leakage of the intercooler. On the Nissan Titan kit we were using a tube and fin intercooler which was also being used by numerous other supercharger manufacturer's including Magnusson. We had many trouble free years until all of a sudden something changed. The manufacturer was having some serious issues and every single company that we know of has since pulled their intercoolers from them and taken their business elsewhere. We also went one step further on that kit and decided to switch to a bar and plate intercooler for added durability.

Tube and fin intercoolers are good intercoolers, they're basically the same as a radiator. However a bar and plate is much stronger and much more durable. It is a bit more expensive but the benefits outweigh the cost.

To answer your second question regarding what would happen if the intercooler leaked...As I mentioned that did happen on the Titan and on those trucks every customer who had a leaky intercooler received a new bar and plate at no charge and received some additional money for labor. Additionally if anyone lost a motor due to the leaky intercooler (which I think only happened once) then we paid for a new motor.

I think you mean bar and plate?

I know most parts are prototypes but that intake manifold looks plastic...is it plastic or am i just seeing things. Reason why im asking is on some cars its plastic and it doesnt last long. I doubt it is but im just curious

The prototype was plastic but the production unit will be cast alluminum.

The picture you're seeing is a machined cast aluminum intake manifold that's been powdercoated black before machining.

It's not going anywhere..
