Preparation for the STILLEN supercharger

RCZ · 02-23-2010, 02:33 PM

I have so many questions about that picture haha.

Thanks for the update guys this is great news

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:

My question is though, does that intercooler use the same coolant from the radiator? Or does it have its own supply? And what pumps the coolant through that intercooler? Sorry for all the questions Kyle

True, however you have to keep in mind that we are putting a radiator/intercooler directly in the air path so there was the potential that it could cause a bit of a blockage and reduce the boost pressure. Fortunately though the intercooler is extremely efficient and working perfectly.

As Josh showed the intercooler does have its own isolated coolant path.

Thanks for the updates Kyle & Josh..

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!

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?

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.
