Nice! Everything looks great Josh. Do you know if there is any paint we can use to paint the IC core black without experiencing any efficiency decrease?

My car is bone stock. Besides the supercharger kit and ECU tune, what else would I need to swap out to be able to get this supercharger running in my Z? (new exhaust?, clutch? etc)

I can't believe I missed Adam Carolla at the open house. I knew I should have gone earlier in the day!!!

Ideally a cat-back exhaust.. and we'd also recommend an engine oil cooler, an auto trans cooler as well if it's an automatic transmission.

That will put you at 515hp just by bolting everything up.

wow, I like that there are fewer parts / higher level assemblies (than ....) also 'looks' a lot less heavy than I was imagining... *sorry* if I missed it, but do we have an accurate total net weight yet?

I love the fact that the real little tidbits like the supercharger and bracket are done for you. This kit looks so simple to install, by someone decent with tools that it amazes me.

This kit looks superb. I spy the new washer bottle. Question for you Stillen guys: how is the intake situated behind the bumper?

Thanks! Actually that is the overflow bottle for the radiator, we do not need to relocate the washer bottle.

I just went out and snapped a few pictures of the front of another one of the test cars. I'm processing that picture now so you will see the heat exchanger and the intakes. We are going through a third round of instruction checks right now on another vehicle. Now we have had multiple mechanics doing the installs, and verifying our instructions. Additionally, this new car is an out of state car so we are confirming that we are prepared for CA and out of state vehicle's, should there be any differences. You would be amazed at some of the tiny differences we've seen in the past that can cause big headaches!

So now we have the kit running on four different vehicle's...

Also, one thing that is not shown in this picture is the air filter shield. Just like on our G37 Gen. 3's we have made a hydro shield to protect the filters from water.

Doh you are right! That isn't the washer bottle. Thanks for clarifying that as I had no idea where the overflow tank was.

Can't wait to see the pictures.

Hopefully this picture shows up.

If you look to the left you will see the heat exchanger, look to the right, you will see the Y-pipe intake system.

Kyle, how are the MAF sensor harness/connecter plugs extended. Is it plug and play with new male/female connecoter plugs on an extension harness or is it cut & extend the stock?

Did you attach metal screen to front bumper for protecting a/c condenser from road debris like a stone or something? Will you let me know what it is? My a/c condenser was damaged from a road debris. Now, I am searching for something to protect a/c condenser. Alluminum screen for window at Home depot is too weak.

Please!!!
