Do you have anyone running this kit with a TI trim? Or a V2 head unit?

Not that I am aware of.

Would you sell the kit without the Stillen intake manifold, i wanna run a GTR R35 intake manifold with RJM adaptor?

Not gonna work...

:iagree: will not work!

IDK pretty sure Brian Burton was running that with his A-A setup on his G. I’ll ask

It could work but not as simply as swapping the manifolds. The entire cold side piping would have to be redone.

I believe this is a picture of Brian's G.

Yep can be done but definitely not cheap. Will add a few thousand to your build cost with just the manifold and adapters alone (they do sell it). And then the piping fab—all for just cosmetic. I’d put that money to wheels or bodywork instead. I’ll post up if Brian gets back to me about it I know he was trying to sell his a while back. I think he was selling his entire kit for $7k though so if that includes piping not as bad

I know it's not going to bolt on cause it's going to be installed on a 2009 M35 but his kit will be the base and I will make necessary adjustments and mods to make it work. I know the sc bracket will bolt on. New pipings n brackets at least is needed to make it work.

That's the pic that got me inspired.

Very interested in this kit. Sub'd

Is this ready to bolt on and run out of the box? Any other necessaries other than a tran upgrade for a 7at?

Fuel system and tune.

Is there a trick to getting the tensioner on after putting on a new 8 rib belt, or vice versa getting tensioner/belt? Heat the belt?

Topgunz full supercharger kits!!
 

I need this in my life!

My tuner cant get a signal from the map sensor, is there something hes missing?

Im started too loose faith in this guy lol.

Weve checked wiring, and tried different sensor, im lost lol.

Are you tuning with ecutek? PM me, I can help.

quick question, has anyone run this setup at the track? what kind of results have you seen in terms of track performance and oil temps?

For those who installed this kit themselves... How many hours is the install the first time. And... estimate on doing it a second time.
Trying to get an estimate of time required if I need to swap back and forth every other year.
And... would a engine/tranny swap be faster? Would be cherry picker out the front rather than drop.

i'm curious.....why would you need to swap back and forth from SC back to NA then back to SC?

:confused:

It would probably be easier to have two different Z's, one NA and one SC ... unless you just really like the labor :ugh:

I would also like to know the level of skill required for this, as I have enough miles on my clutch now to move ahead. I don't think I'm so concerned about the S/C part of the install as the fuel upgrades. I've read through the CJM .pdf file two or three times, and having never done anything like this before, just can't quite visualize what I might be getting myself into. I have done basic repairs on cars, and have a good set of tools, but never anything like this.

There is a speed shop near where I live with experience installing s/c's and turbos, but I'd rather not pay the labor if this is something that's relatively straightforward, and just an investment in time. I'd also like the satisfaction that I installed it myself, if at all possible...but not at the cost of getting in over my head!

I'd appreciate some honest evaluations of skill level and time. Thanks!

Being that he mentioned every other year and he lives in California it's got to be related to smogging the car for registration.

didnt see that. seems like a pretty solid reason to move out of the land of snowflakes :bowrofl:

so many just ridiculous laws in cali, hence why i could never move there. love no cats on my cars and other mods :driving:

I thought Cali had that no visual mod law. Think a SC jutting out of the hood would be a dead giveaway.

That's why we get the stillen kit, as long as you have the CARB sticker, you're okay. Most smog shops won't know if you added the a2a kit. All that they do is plug into the obd2 port and as long as your not showing any codes you should be okay.

We do have the stupidist smog laws. As long as they don't look under the car during the test (and I've never had anyone do that), you can get away with not running cats

Yes, of course it has to do with CA. Smog. I haven't been able to get myself to pull the trigger on the Stillen kit because of the MAF sensor position. I think this is the best SC kit out there and I'm trying to decide what level of PITA I'll be living with. Pulled the engine and tranny out of my 69 Vette a couple of times. Not that big of a deal. Tranny linkage is what everyone's paranoid on that one but adjusting it is pretty easy. I can build it off line if I've got a spare engine and tranny. If I blow it up I still have the original to put back in. I'm guessing it would be about 12 hrs the first time could bring it down to 5 or 6 after that.

I think most Smog stations would pick up on the ATA kit but maybe you Cali guys who've done the upgrade can comment. Other option would be to pull the ATA and run no intercooler during smog, then put it back on for "normal" driving. That would mean rotating the SC each time or having a second.

So... you bought the stillen CARB kit (with the sticker) and the A2A and you've had your car smogged? How many times have you achieved this?

i honestly think i would buy another Z over swapping engines for ridiculous BS smog laws lol

370's are super cheap now and in my mind that is wroth not dropping a block to appease hippy lawmakers.

:tiphat:

Those hippy lawmakers ain't so compassionate for your average automobile enthusiast.

obviously lol

PA has the most ridiculous set of auto laws i've ever read however no CARB and also lighter enforcement unless the cop is a dbag or having a bad day.

i've ran straight pipes for 4 years or so and i've been stopped more to talk about the car than an infraction lol

last actual stop was 99 in a 55 but the cop discussed the car and saw i had numbers on the window from the strip and was asking what it ran lol then let me go with "driving in the left lane not for passing" $115 fine and no points i was ok with it.

I doubt that many smog stations even know what the Stillen kit is and wouldn't visually know what parts come with the kit. At least the one's I've been to in the past with my Eclipse only care about having the CARB sticker. As long as you have the CARB sticker and it's not showing any codes they have their *** covered legally.

I didn't buy the CARB approved stillen kit. My car is a 2017 so I don't have to worry about smog for a few more years. Send me a PM and we can talk more about my situation.

Well, there you go. Just trade out for a car that's new enough you don't have to worry about it. Repeat every few years.

Not sure what buying another Z is going to achieve, he eventually would have to smog the sc Z in order to legally drive it. Unless he just switched license plates. :driving:

:stirthepot:

i would never suggest something illegal like that.......

I can tune both the a2w and the a2a on ecutek and guarantee that you will pass smog in CA and the car will pull hard and drive perfectly as a daily. I recently had a customer drive his a2w G37 to death valley this summer and he had zero issues, over 40k miles on the kit over the past 5 years, all hard miles full of redline pulls. With the a2a you would fail visual of course.
