STILLEN 370Z Supercharger System - Announcement!!!

Kyle@STILLEN · 07-19-2010, 06:48 PM

There is a lot of discussion going on here and a lot of it involves inaccurate information or assumptions. Unfortunately we've been buried for the past few days so we have not been able to spend much time on here. For now I want everyone to know that we are working with Phimosis to get his car where he wants it. Our engineers made this is a huge priority and worked overtime last week and made some big gains. We will be updating everyone soon.

I'm hoping that Stillen will address the tuning issues and that the end product will be safe and will have an output that is in line with what they advertised, so that they are vindicated.

It does seem unusual that they only shipped a few kits with the original pulley, then very early on, pulled the kit, added a new pulley and a new tune....presumabley a tune they have tested......but then have still kept the old press release for all of their advertising material and no new press release or dyno figures have been offered.

Phim, it was more than skepticism for me. I have had previous experiences with the Stillen products and, in turn, offered my POV when seeing the very same sales tactics and promises that lured me in and duped me. My vindication stems not from being a skeptic and being proved correct in that arena, but from being proven correct that the very same issues are created repeatedly at Stillen. I would have no issue with this company if they approached their clientelle with truth instead of false promises, stall tactics, flimsy excuses and outright untruths.

In truth, I am sorry that you had to suffer the same fate as I. But, at least you are an intellectual person who can now help other members of the community through voicing your experience. Good luck to you, sir, on getting things sorted.

Taking bets on which kit blows up more engines over time.

I'm placing my bet on the GTM kit.

That is a horrible thing to bet on.

Indeed. My point: They dialed it back for a reason?

With computer software, companies give you software to beta test for free.

With F/I kits, companies knock a few hundred off and hype you into being part of their R&D process..

Don't let this thread persuade your decision, thats all I can say. There are others out there that are FI and are loving it.

I feel this thread is starting to loose it's meaning, as it turned into a battle between GTM and stillen while ether company said anything negative about each other. When doing something like this to a car you have to be a fool to believe that on first start up there won't be any problems. Companies try to account for correction of the variables but at times there can be to many. They are trying to correct the problem, lets sit back and give them a chance to do what they need to.

Understandable and I respect that, honestly. Just seems this thread has started to drive down the wrong side of the road. I was just trying to prove a point of not to let this thread make the decision for you. Take it from the guy who installed a twin turbo kit in his garage on his back. Good luck when your ready to do it. If you do it your self it is a very intriguing experience

Wow, I am sorry but that is the most retarded thing to say (whether you said it about Stillen or GTM).
First, many twin turbo kits have been on the market for a couple of years on the 3.7L engine and putting down more PSI and more power than either of these supecharger kits. Second, where do you even make this assumption from? Because Stillen is having a problem so therefore GTM is going to blow up engines?
