So, Travis, are you going FI?

230 isn't normal

It wouldn't hurt to increase your sump or modify your cooler

hey thank you so much for the reply......and help .. what are the 0-60 times for the z with sc?????

and yeh im still debating a ton .. as dad said that we have a meeting next week in torrance about a gs-f ..... so will have to see what happens with that at our next dealer meeting ....... and yeh i know all about the is-f as I drive one everytime we order one and have had 4 come back on lease from 08

I don't think anyone has done a 0-60 on the stillen Z yet, but if you can wait a couple months, there are several magazines testing it. the thing is, if they test it tomorrow, you probably won't see the article for 3-4 months.

Hey Mike,
I thought you were never going to go F.I. again? :stirthepot:

You're right NA is more fun! j/k

for sure it's not lol! currently looking at oil coolers. thanks!

thats what I said before FI on the vette too!

0-60 is a meaningless figure. Soon the only way to get a sub-3-second 0-60 will be to have tank treads on your car. Much more interesting will be the 1/4 mi time and speed with the SC.

well i was just thinking maybe 4.1 or right around 3.9 ?????????

Hey Mike. Wouldn't check this thread if I wasn't at least thinking about it :)

If I ever did, I'd look for the most torque and least HP gain for classing purposes. And I don't need a lot more power... I'd be fine with 370-380whp, and a reliable setup. Generally, the advice I am getting is to stay NA and aim for 350whp. I'm not sure that is attainable, however, so that's why I continue to follow this thread. That and the drama! haha

Drama whore! :bowrofl::bowrofl:

I could try and get a 0-60 video for you guys....

If I could get any traction in first or second, I bet it would be like low 4s

Alcohol/water mist is a great option also for on the spot cooling, there are a couple different ways to install/use it. Won't fix your specific problem but when your rolling with a boost its great.

:iagree:

I had a Supra with heart stopping power but I couldn't get the piece of **** to launch for the life me!

0-60 is a great way to compare mini vans or corollas though...seriously! Get a calculator...horsepower, weight, and some gear numbers and you can get a very close 0-60 before even jumping in the car.

Most true performance enthusiasts don't really care about 0-60 times. They care about 1/4 mile times, trap speeds, or lap times.

lap times +1

Please DO! not that it matters, once i have the dough i will have this kit

As was said above. 0-60 is kinda pointless. I guess its more of a measure of traction than acceleration these days haha. I'll try and see what happens. We hit 60 in second right?

more vids needed, lets see this thing, and hear it

zAgreed but i luv me dem videos and if not i will enjoy watching u lay down some rubber

Yep, second redlines at 62mph I think. Someone at Nissan was thinking in KPH when they chose that gear ratio.

To me, the worse attributes of the 370Z are the high rpm engine vibration and it's sraight line performance. Everything else about the Z is pretty damn wonderful. With that said, it's straight line performance is essentially the same as the ISF. So if you're into performance driving, the ISF is a real snoozer because it's best performance is in a striaght line. With it's 8 speed auto, it launches hard and predictable. You can't really even manually shift it though, because of it's low redline and 8 speed tranny. You'll be constantly banging the rev limiter. If you want to race people 0-60 and do nothing else performance oriented with the ISF, it would be ok, but if you're into performance driving, chances are you spend a lot of time in corners, cresting hills and charging out of corners. The Z provides huge ammounts of driving enjoyment doing that in ways that even my C6 Corvette couldn't. With a supercharger on the Z, there would be no comparison to the ISF.

I do not agree, A fully modifiyed N/A 370 sport 7 AT almost hit 12.7s on stock tires with 292 rwhp. Now that i have 320 N/A , I will see what it runs at the track this saturday at the Z drag day in Toronto. Its all about aceleration !.
With either the stillen or the Gtm this car will go 11.7's.
Now i have 305 35 18 drag radials. on the car.with 4.08 gears.
RCZ Take it to the track on steet tires you will be amazed how fast it will run.
You got your SC before me. Please pm me on how it runs.
Best of luck to you with your car

Thanks
Z

Benca, whats up buddy!? On the rocks with the ISF now?

A 370z and the ISF are two very differenct cars! Your ISF is going to be very "engineered". The one thing I didn't like about it was that in sport mode the transmission would change gears randomly up and down, seemed like it was referencing the TPS a little too much. The Z, with the manual tranny, is going to be a very responsive, function built machine with a very sporty ride comfort level. If you want a quiet "luxury" ride with all the bells and whistles the ISF is it! If you are looking for a lightwieght machine with brakes, steering, gas, etc. the Z is the way to go...purpose built! When I get on the throttle with my Z, it doesn't *%&# around! You add the S/C and you will be putting the Corvette where it belongs...

Sorry to see you leave T/W, wish you could keep the Taco too!

I want to go see what it can run on the track...Wish I could slap on stickier rubber for a run or two, but I don't see that happening. Maybe next week I will go and hit up the track. I'm not much of a drag racer, but its all good. Has anyone with FI done a track pass yet?

No one has yet!.. I was hoping to be the first but been waiting over a month for my kit to come in!!

Has anyone with FI done a track pass yet?[/QUOTE]

raul, bring it up here. ill asist you in that question. i actually am the stig

Now that the supercharger project is out of the way, how about them there brake ducts? :tup:

Let me know next time you go. I would like to see what this thing can do.

RCZ - now you have had this thing on and tuned for a few days, what are your impressions as a DD setup?

Sorry for the noob question, but what does a supercharger offer that a turbo setup does not, besides lower price?

Is there an engine-cover available for the Stillen?

So far nothing has changed as far as driveability. Temperatures have remained stable even in traffic. Driving with the A/C on things get a little jerky, but that's understandable considering the added load. Gas mileage I'm not sure about because my fuel gauge has gone haywire... just the other night it went from showing empty and flashing to 4 dots when I stopped at a light... gotta get that checked out. I was driving normally and was getting 25mpg according to the computer. Passing on the highway is a breeze...also even though the exhaust got louder, still no drone. If you have any specific questions I'd be happy to give you my input.

depending on type of SC, power in different part of RPM spectrum, generally less heat produced, you can leave the exhaust side of you engine alone, simple power upgrades with pully changes.

Well.. The new mustangs that just hit the streets are already in the single digits.

RCZ, if you are up here near toronto canada i will lend you the 305's for your car at the track. The volk t-37's would look good on your car.
Z

Im in Miami man...theres a pretty good chance my car isnt gonna be within 1000 miles of your ever.

Raul, were are those pics man. you said you would send them.

Let me know,

Ryan

Yeah I know, I'm booking the photographer, but he was busy editing all day yesterday.

RCZ how long did it take for you to get your SC installed. The dealer is telling me 5 days and $3400. That sounds crazy to me. Let me know

That is so unbelievably high I want to puke.
