STILLEN 370Z Supercharger System - Announcement!!!

ImportConvert · 10-26-2010, 11:20 AM

So...I read an article where the 370Z with the Stillen kit was tested. Ran mid/high 12's@113 and did 0-60 .2 seconds faster than stock. I did not see that they dyno'ed it.

Can I take this to mean that yes, Stillen has worked out the tune-issues before sending out a press-car, or no, they have not, and work still needs doing?

Only 0.2 seconds faster than stock?! WTF? 0-60 times are what I live for. Maybe I need to rethink the whole FI idea.

You usually won't see a huge drop in the 0-60 time with FI. The key to dropping 0-60 times is getting traction. Before I did suspension work on my S, I would run about a 5 second 0-60 time, but trapping around 145 in the quarter mile.

no way you are only going to get a .2 second advantage. If the SC only make 100 hp, that should equal just under a 1 second difference. It was probably an apples to oranges compare (i.e. different tracks/time/temp/config).

What article was this?

If they tested it at a mid-high 12 @ 113 that's still pretty lame, though. Not too much quicker or faster than stock. Granted who knows what the test conditions were.

Its gotta be the traction, I mean this car has a good amount of torque from factory. I wonder if anyone can find out what size tires and suspension the car was running in the test??

hahaha, makes me laugh. I think we're spoiled with the 5.0.

Can't wait till mine gets in...

Not sure if it was the same article, but I read 0-60 in 4.5 secs, and that's 0.7 secs quicker than the stock 370z previously tested by the magazine. 12.8 @ 113 for the quarter mile.

I don't think stillen had tuning problems w/ their press car, just certain ECUs.

The test car had KW V3 coils, Stillen rear sways, AP racing brakes (6 front 4 rear pistons), and enkei gtc01 19s w/ 10mm wider than stock (255 and 285?) toyo r888 tires.

The article did mention that they "predict better numbers are possible with less camber than what came dialed into the rear of [their] test car".

That should read 12.8 @ 113. 133mph would be insanely fast.

Agreed...but how the hell do they manage to only run high 12's? My Stillen SC 370z in Forza 3 runs mid 11's with slicks and around 520 crank hp

Traction probably. I should be running mid 12s but traction, I does not have it.

The guy in Canada ran a 13.3 with his stillen SC.
Chris and I watched the run. It was in a G37. 6 MT.

You've repeated this story multiple times like it proves something. What does it prove? That the guy is not a good drag racer or that he was not pushing his car hard? I mean 13.3 seconds is slower than what a stock 370z can turn with an experienced driver at the wheel. Are you implying that the Stillen supercharger decreases power output to less than stock? How does this apply to the Stillen thread?
