Care to share this with the Z community?

Dont like this deal.

Like this one though, but I'd have to get a good deal from Jnaut for the swaps ;) We'll see. Wondering what the car would sound like with them too. Would be interesting to do a triple test, one with stillen headers, one with lths and one with stock headers.

All on the same dyno and similar weather.

let me know, ill call jack and work out some deal.

talk to him, see what he says. I have to get a winter tune anyway. I shouldn't be going 9.5psi on an 8psi tune...its just gonna make it run lean and actually not make as much power as it would on the correct tune.

Hey guys...I would love to help!....and I can do the cold weather adjustments to Raul's car in the process...just be sure to get it done when its cooler out!...its 85 degrees here right now....haha...we should just go to the beach.

whats up guys I just wanted to share my experience driving a 370z with the stillen supercharger with you, all i can say is wow its like a night and day difference. The car felt like it had a v8 under the hood, torque was just everywhere in the power band. It was just awesome how the car pulled hard all the way to redline. Stillen did a great job on this kit, and covinced me that the sc route is what im going to take with with my z.

Cool. I'm not sure what it all means. There are a lot of expenses involved in doing this. If we can figure how each party is going to pitch in then I'd be willing to use my car for the testing. Gotta pay for shipping of the LTH's since im sure Shumby won't wanna cover that and dyno time from Jack.

Also definitely gotta wait until it is cooler to do anything. 50s would be optimal.

damn i would love to see the 50's that is like summer
- teens here right now.

and almost forgot, the cost of Jnaut swapping out the headers.

well... i might be pulling off my headers to wrap them for the turbo. so we may not need shumbys. saves on shipping.

Mine are already wrapped

That would save us shipping. It still leaves the question of tool time and dyno time though. We all know headers are awful to do on this car...

yes the stocks, but the long tubes are not horrible.

Maybe just longtubes vs stillen then?

Josh or Kyle, any plans for a 10psi pulley soon?

STUPID QUESTION TIME. Can't you just call the manufacture and get one? Since I would imagine thats where stillen is going to get it from.
Frank

are you talking about the pulleys??? if so this is their pulley machine! they make pulleys in house

the short asian dude is me and that tall fat white dude is Josh hahahahah!

Ohhh I think that is what he is talking about lol. I didn't know they made them in house. Thats why I love stupid question time lol. Thanks for the education.
Frank

all good bro! you're not asking stupid Q's at all. i should try to post all of the pictures i took from Stillen since it's getting bored.

Wow that place looks like a amusement park thank you for posting. I can't believe all the toys they have there lol. I say good for them and glade they do have them. I would start to get worried if they try selling them, which would mean to me financial trouble lol. Also who is the owner of stillen just wondering since you seemed to get a nice tour of the place maybe the question was already asked? I kind of like how they have there hands in to everything though but damn I really wish they made a after market rear bumper since I like the design of there urethane front bumper. Thanks again man rep added for pics of the shop I really love when people get to take tours and all.
Frank

yeah, their shop is huge! i think they have 1 or 2 more buildings across the street which we didn't have the honor to tour.

the owner should be the infamous Mr. Steve Millen. he's an awesome guy with an accent haha.

Frank,

Please let us know if you're ever in Southern California, we would love to give you the tour and let you meet everyone here, as well as Steve Millen.

Steve has been involved with professional racing his entire life, and with Nissan's for a good part of his racing career, including the winninest driver in IMSA Sports Car series with a Nissan 300ZX, and raced just about everything with 4 wheels. He personally is involved with all areas of development and manufacturing, and is 100% the driving force behind STILLEN.

Here's a recent article done by Autoblog, complete with the Targa Rally he just came back from in the STILLEN GT-R.. I'm sure you'll enjoy the video: Steve Millen returns home to tackle Targa New Zealand [w/Video] — Autoblog



Steve Millen Racing Heritage : STILLEN

Raul, we can cut any pulley for any boost level you'd like to run.. and are also interested to see what the LTH can do with the STILLEN Supercharger. Let's discuss..

Great vid guys, Looks like it was a blast! :tup:

Can anybody say what the difference in gas mileage is under normal commute type driving conditions (ie mostly highway)?

For me. My gas mileage actually improved on highway.... but on streets its gone WAAAY down..... yeah its tough not to give it more gas with the supercharger from a stop.

I'm only getting 220 mixed highway and local driving lol

Toner- As Josh (AKA "tall fat white guy") pointed out, the President of STILLEN is Steve Millen. I'm also his son, a lot of people think Dad has stepped back over the years but he definitely has not. Overall we have three buildings in Costa Mesa, with a little over 100,000 square feet of real estate between our warehouse/distribution center, fabrication and manufacturing facility and the main HQ which houses sales & marketing, customer service, service department/installation center, R&D, in-house CNC machine shop, modeling shop (body kit studio), and urethane manufacturing. We have been in business for 25 years with Steve being in charge every day and closely involved in every project.

To elaborate on what Josh said regarding Steve, his has won more championships and set more pole positions than any other driver in IMSA history. He also won the 24 hours of Le Mans, 12 hours of Sebring (twice) and twenty four hours of Daytona when he raced professionally for NISSAN in the #75 300ZX. In the same car he also won two world championships in 1992 and 1994 and was leading the championship in 93 but due to an accident at Walkins Glen with a few races left in the season he was unable to complete the season. If memory serves me correctly though, he had such a big lead up 'til that point that he actually almost won the championship even though he didn't compete in the last few races.

One amazing fact about Steve, he has never lost a single race in his career in the rain. We won't be selling the toys any time soon but we do regularly sell some of the show cars. For example, the red and silver and orange mustang that you see in those pictures from Weiboy are for sale. The yellow one will be for sale in a few months I think. We have to make room in the shop for the new projects some how!

I have put a few thousand miles on some of our test cars however the only time that I actually monitored the fuel mileage was on the way home from a hill climb race. It was primarily highway type driving but there were also some mountain passes and slow cities that I had to go through and I averaged 27 MPG with speeds as high as 75-80 sustained and as low as 25 MPH for short intervals while traveling through some small towns.

That is better that most are getting stock. You must be using the same unicorn piss for gas that you used to get the horsepower and torque numbers that nobody else can seem to get.

Awesome I hope some day I can make it there to take you up on this offer. I would love to take a tour and see how ever day business gets done. I was loving the pics that Weiboy sent and if you guys ever have any that you would like to share please post. I can't begin to express how much i love to see where the magic is being made and how things are set up and how they work. I don't want to de-rail your thread completely but when Weiboy posted those pics i got excited and jealous lol. I got into the high performance deal of cars a little late due to child hood life and not being able to afford any of that stuff. I am the type of person that doesn't want to look at things that I can't afford. Maybe in your spot on the forum you can create a "About Stillen thread and post some pics of staff and the history of Stillen. I believe that the info provided by you and Kyle is very crucial since I for one did not know any of that and was unaware of the history of Steve Millen. Just a idea since like i said I am a huge person on wanting to know where a company has been and where there going. Not to throw a competitor in there but this is why I love GTM so much since Sam is directly involved in everything like Mr.Millen is and he took the time like you guys just did to explain to me the history of GTM.

Once again Josh and Kyle thank you very much for the info, it was a pleasure to read.
Frank

PS do you guys plan on making a Urethane rear bumper to go with your front bumper? If not please do that way when i get my front bumper I can eventually upgrade the rear one to have a full body kit Lol. Ok ok done de-railing this lol thanks again

:facepalm:

I achieved 25mpg on the way from San Antonio to Seattle. I was trying to get the best MPG i could and 25 was the tops. However i am running a bit rich right now with out a tune, according to those who mentioned my AFR after looking at my dyno sheet.

But seriously we don't need to continue to slam these guys. They are posting and being involved in the thread and peoples builds are coming along.

As much as i bash stillen. They give a good tour. Josh is a really nice guy and their one shop I saw was great. Nice to see a company take the time to show potential customers around. Lets us get a really good picture of where our (well not mine) parts are coming from.

on the MPG side. I noticed an improvemnt with HWY driving at constant speed. But in town like people have said it is too hard to keep off the gas. lol. Well my MPG is really good righ t now as it is sitting with no tranny.

I think I'm going to try out a 10psi pulley. Is there any way to see what boost it makes at what RPM in WOT before I actually install it? I ask because I rarely redline the car, usually only using about 8.5ish psi.

Open for discussions :)

Thank you for that well thought out and meaningful post.

We know that there are a lot of people who don't know the full STILLEN story and we have been discussing the best way to get the information out there. Unfortunately it's hard to cram everything into a short 5-10 minute video. Here is a little video that the guys from The Smoking Tire did when they stopped by. It shows a little bit about what we do here and gives a little history on the company and Steve Millen.

Raul- You may want to try something different depending on what your ultimate goals are. Are you looking for more horsepower or more bottom end? It might be time to try out what we were talking about a few months ago!

CAre to share?

i think he is just talking more about man love.

You know, I've been itching to do it for a long time... I think I was itching to do it even before I got the kit lol. I can't personally figure out what the best way to do it would be from a technical standpoint. If you have it figured out and it makes sense to me, I'd be willing to give it a shot. Wonder if the stock MT will handle it..

What the hell is this secret squirrel **** lol.

I hate homo teasers!
