Yeah, I'm wondering how the 4.08's will work out with the automatic. I really like my e85 tune. I'm sure you will too.

I didn't purchase your complete kit but of course mine is identical to your kit and mine made a little over 10psi.

Thanks for your replying with your reason. :tiphat:

I'm assuming this is with 91 octane?

yes

TopgunZ 06-04-2018 01:31 PM

That is awesome. No belt slip all the way through. Kit is performing great!

Martijn_b 06-04-2018 03:14 PM

Topgunz, has any of your customer used this kit with 100 or 102 octane yet?

What does your boost read at idle? My stock manifold MAP sensor has been reading 3 bars fluctuating between 3.5 and 2.9 volts, while my secondary Innovate is reading -.2 bar. Seb is asking me about my MAP, thought it was working before so not convinced that the MAP itself is the problem but I guess I'll just go ahead and order the OMNI since they say it's better for various altitude driving which I could definitely be doing give or take 6,000'. So obviously my stock MAP reads sky high at idle, and my Innovate seems to read low for idle (I would think) -2psi vacuum seems low for 500rpms.

13 PSI 467 WHP 330 WHTQ,- blew up three days later , great kit Topgunz :)

Just for clarification, you were on the water setup right?

How do you know its the kits' fault and not the install or other components in your car?

Because the water setup 100% guaranteed can not handle 13psi.

...and you'd see a hell of a lot higher power numbers with your kit @13psi.:tup:

So it's the owners/tuners fault really

It's not fault. It's pioneering. Someone has to push the limits to find the weak points in everything. Those are the guys that should get credit, not scorned.

If it weren't for that there wouldn't be any inginuity...and that's just boring.

Chuck33079 06-08-2018 12:20 PM

You never know how much it can take until someone blows one up.

TBatt 06-08-2018 01:46 PM

When I taught a class in autocrossing, I told my students that if you never spin the car then you will never know the true limits. Sometimes failing is actually moving forward.

Do you need me to list issues of the still kit :). Cylinder 3 dropped, and the car was less than 2 years old, lest than one year with kit and the car wasn't abused. When it blew up I was downshifting to get off the hyw. :icon14:

Like you you spun that to my fault, LOL I was chasing something( 500 WHP) with this kit I made improvements to the kit where it was lacking, Lager heat exchanger- larger SC fluid tank, 340 pump 750 CC injectors, was trying to move the MAFS, and was going to get a HP SC fluid pump but it failed. BTW there was a lot of us that followed me on this path.

Tune was from a reputable shop. An maybe it's me but because of myself and few others that pushed that kit and blew up we now have better one. Thanx Topgunz!


You have some time maybe take a peak at that my thread"Stillen SC Build 500 WHP?" :)

Martijn_b 06-09-2018 05:53 AM

You guys are right, we shouldn't turn this into a blaming/shaming game.

I fully agree to push your limits in life and learn from any mistakes you make. It's great that people here have done this in the past and share knowledge so that others can learn and we as a community do not make the same mistakes over and over again.

I guess my comment was lead by the assumption that the boost level of the Stillen kit was pushed way over the ~8psi level by the owner/shop - whilst by now in 2018 it's common knowledge that this will get you into serious trouble.

What I meant was that Stillen is also not always to bash and blame. I know a few people running the kit reliably on 8psi for several years now. It's shame Stillen didnt use the feedback they get from the market for a redesign of their product - like some vendors here are doing (Aaron, or Sasha with by now v3 of his BP kit, etc).


Hope this puts the right nuance in my comment.

That's an easy answer. Yes.

TBatt 06-11-2018 09:29 AM

The worst part of TopZ kits is the cost of rear tires. 6K miles on my first set of RE-11. Luckily I caught them on sale at Tire Rack a couple of weeks ago. ~$700 for 6K miles of fun.......worth every penny!

6K miles with the A2A (yes, I know that is another thread) and the car runs great!

Janjua8 06-11-2018 09:44 AM

I wanna see if anyone has like 30k miles with a SC and has not run into problems

Any idea what fuel psi we should be running with this kit on 1050x injectors on return fuel system on flex fuel tune? Seb hasn’t chimed in I’m running 48-50psi, just seems like it could make a difference?

There's no practical reason I can think of to deviate from the factory recommended pressure.

Seb told me 51 or 52 lbs and to set it with the vacuum line disconnected so that the regulator sees atmospheric pressure. That way it regulates properly based on manifold pressure.

Has anyone considered a V3 head unit from A&A corvette with the Ti trim wheel?

Hey :) , So does you kit fir the sedans? Just curious cause it seems I'm seeing a lot of talk over on MYG37 and guys are saying the kit will not fit a sedan? The intake pipe is to short? Thanx man!

TopgunZ 06-19-2018 08:10 AM

This kit will NOT fit a sedan. Sorry.

However, I imagine the fix isnt too dificult. Looks like you need to extend the L pipe off the hot side about 6" straight then the turn on the Y pipe would get cut off and would need another 6" straight and probably a different angled coupler. Bring your car over, Ill get it to fit. :tup:

Thanx man, I wish just a little bit of a drive :driving: LOL. Just curious as you know I hoping to do this next spring. Thanx for the info. :)

Ti Trim Head Units – A&A Corvette Performance, Your C5, C6 & C7 Corvette Supercharger Specialist

Yes. However, they do not provide "trade-in" for Sci owner so I decided to go different route.

nizzan4u2nv 06-21-2018 04:30 PM

Would this set up benefit at all from lets say a z1 ported lower intake manifold and 65mm ported oem tbs or eps 70mm tbs?

Chindian01 06-21-2018 05:56 PM

How much to ship to Alaska? When can you ship?

Boost always loves breathing mods. More air in more air out... power.

Both the 700whp guys did those mods. The ported lower anyway. Not sure on the tbs.

I'll pm u a price later.

I can't ship for a couple of weeks. The summer boost itch has cleaned me out. More kits currently in the works.
