Stillen is going to send the kit without a tune, and I'm having HP Logic tune everything. That's probably the best and safest way to do it.

LateralG'z 08-01-2010 05:26 PM

That is what I am doing with Failsafe so I can have it the way i want and make any necessary changes

Special thanks to RCZ for the help...

No worries man, just helping you out and all the vendors that have hooked me up. I think you're gonna be pretty happy once everything is setup and running! Maybe I'll go take a look at your car while it's being put together. Now if only FI would hurry with your exhaust!

The Stillen SC, shipped, installed and tune by a local Nissan dealer is $8K, so it looks like is not way around if you really want that much HP.

The dealer warranty the work for 1 yr and your powertrain warranty goes out the window.

My trip to Stillen the other day was pretty amazing, it will be great when they finally get the kit CARB certified so that it will be kosher with the emissions freaks in CA.

maybe because its lighter... just a guess...

m4a1mustang 08-04-2010 09:01 PM

Nothing wierd about that. If you figure we can carry up to 19 gallons of fuel in the tank at ~6.7lbs per gallon, that's 127 lbs of fuel. If you've only got 3 gallons in the tank you've shaved over 100lbs of weight compared to fully fueled...

LateralG'z 08-04-2010 11:10 PM

Just fired it up for the first time and she was purring like a kitten. The best part was the A/F were really good not any need to really mess with it. Kind of weird with the new larger injectors. oh well super excited to have the car totally tuned and done by Friday with hopefully some Dyno sheets.

Yup, just watch out for corners as you may stall out and not be able to restart.

How is your idle?

tomnavone 08-05-2010 08:01 PM

Update from stillen: still after two weeks no tune for my car.:mad: I wouldnt buy the carb kit till they figure out how to tune it.

RCZ 08-05-2010 08:07 PM

awesome LateralG'z. Can't wait to see what kinda numbers you end up with!

I think you should just send them the kit back, its plain to see that you're not happy with it.

I would rather them refund the money it would cost to get it tuned by someone else. Seems people are getting better results when someone besides stillen tunes it

when did you talk to them?email?phone? im in the same boat right now and it's been for a while now...i know they are trying to do everything right now to fix my problem since i believe an other 370z is experiencing with the 7at.

You could have Chris at Failsafe, I have seen 3 TT's and he will be doing my SC tune.

My shop called today. The car drives like ****. I keep getting check engine lights. Its running to rich. Very hard idle. Black smoke out of the exhaust when i stsrt the engine. Very jerky and major lag when i try to excelerate.

My idle was great with good A/F, which was a little weird with the larger injectors but I am using my current tune for all my other stuff before the kit to start. i had Chris richen everything up and It seems to a perfect start. Which is a huge sigh because that seems to be the worst part of tuning TT's

Will get them up as soon as I have them. Hopefully tomorrow afternoon will get on the Dyno.

GUTCH 08-06-2010 01:00 AM

So did Stillen ever solve the problem of the customer car not achieving the advertised horsepower and torque gains?

weiboy718 08-06-2010 07:44 AM

Am I the only that is running good with Stillens reflash? It's been 2 weeks and my tune is still running good.

MMC Racing 08-06-2010 08:13 AM

Very disappointing.. Way too high of a % of vehicles not running right with canned tunes. Stillen should step up and cut a nice 10% check back to everyone with problems so they can get a local tune.

LateralG'z 08-06-2010 08:31 AM

That is not a bad suggestion.

So it's still an ongoing problem...?

If u buy the carb kit that is tuned by stillen u WILL have promblems. They are having trouble with the tune for the kit. Others that have had an outside tune seemed to be happy. Still a month after they released the kit they have had four different tunes that dont seem to be responding to the ecu.

maybe a dumb question but is it only the tune that is different between carb/non-carb kits?
