Ive had my Stillen kit on for 5 months now (in the crazy midwest heat this year), and have had no problems at all. AMS dyno tuned it for me back in early May. There is power drop due to heat soaking...however every system encounters this. Actually Porsche is notorious for power loss in high heat...so this really is nothing new.

Hi there
I drive my "Z" since 15,000 km (Miles??) ![]() ![]() The force is almost constant at high temperatures (somewhat limited on the summer temperatures, as with any other turbocharged car) I can tell you one thing: If the STILLEN kit is perfectly matched, the pleasures are just awesome! Dear greetings from Switzerland Ivo

My Stillen powered car seems to pull even better when it's warm.
Here it is on second run on a hillclimb during 90 to 95 degree weather! Hoopa hillclimb 2012 - 370z - YouTube

Just a random question, You have to completely remove the sway bar while having the supercharger in? or is there a modified sway bar you can put in?

I am not sure if you are talking about the sway bar because it is on the bottom of the car, i think you are talking about the brace that goes across the engine bay. then you do remove it to make installation easier but you put it back with no clearance issues. here is a pic.

Couldn't be happier with this kit. I had the Stillen Supercharger installed on my 2013 G37 Sport 6MT just last Friday and she's running amazing. Currently I have the Stillen SC with a 9PSI pulley/Stillen Oil Cooler/Fast Intentions Resonated HFC's and GTHAUS CBE. She put down 422 RWHP on a Mustang dyno and the car is a blast to drive. Currently I'm on the stock clutch/flywheel but that will be my next mod to swap it out for somthing better. So far so good

Guys, did everyone order their stillen kit from Stillen? or is there any company that packaged all those upgrade - custom 9 to 10 psi pulley, frozen boost heat exhanger, upgraded line etc and sent together as a kit. Just wonder if we could save some money instead of having a small heat exhanger which we're not going to install anyway.

Okay guys who have this system LOOK OUT!!!!
Long story short I have 18k miles on the kit I bought new from Stillen in 2010 so warranty is up. Well the other day my car hydro locked from Stillen's manifold inter cooler. they told me this is the first that they have seen this issue and I need to buy a new replacement for with with the whole manifold for over $1100. Is it me or is this unreasonable? At this point I think this maybe a flaw in the inter cooler and can cost you a new engine. Buyers beware. . ![]()

To all reader's of the thread, please look at the images posted and you will see RTV silicone was used to secure the throttle body O rings. Why? I do not know as this is not part of the installation instructions. As you can quickly and easily see using this RTV silicone caused excessive pressure to be built up in the CNC machined O ring groove thus causing the aluminum casting to warp/distort and even crack. Hence the need for a new intake manifold. As this was not something that we could be responsible, this is not something that could/would be covered under warranty. In regards to the leaking intercooler, the STILLEN intercooler for the VQ37 supercharger is a bar and plate intercooler. Bar and plate intercoolers are extremely durable and this is the first time we have ever seen one leaking on the VQ37 supercharger. As the kit is now 4 years old and outside of warranty and taking into consideration the damage done to the manifold we were not able to offer a warranty. We did however offer the intercooler at a greatly reduced price. Generally I do not like to air our laundry on forums however as the whole story is not being told I felt it necessary to offer our side of the situation as well. |
