Added, and glad to finally get to see the F.I. kit in the list and compared to others. Cannot wait to see more from F.I. to get a good solid comparison of all major kits on the list.

Also added a few others, Liquid_G (SC) and Zuperman_370 (SC) to the list.

I can't help but think this is the majority of the reason the Stillen kits come in under the competition.

The manifold doesn't seem to be as good a design as the stock one and the cooling capacity of their water to air intercooler just doesn't seem up to snuff.

There was someone on the forum that converted to a front mount using the stock manifold and got MUCH better numbers. If I were to ever try and do a S/C on the cheap, I'd buy someone's used Stillen kit and have a new mounting bracket made so I could front mount an Air to Air using the stock manifold.

^who did this? Very interested. Wouldn't the air from the blower need to get split up somehow into the two TBs?

I think maybe the Swiss370 guy?

I can't remember. Whomever it was, I believe he did the single in/dual out intercooler like GTM uses to "split it".

theDreamer 08-21-2013 01:06 PM

Was not swiss, I think he just did a propeller upgrade so far and kept the Stillen manifold.

theDreamer 08-21-2013 01:11 PM

Will do some more digging and see if I can find who it is.

My single-turbo VSR build has an update:

My hp/tq and boost numbers changed after Motion Lab re-tuned my car. The details are in my build thread, but basically I think the original tune was done on a dying o2 sensor that I recently replaced. The boost level was turned down from 9.9psi to 7.7psi according to the dyno graphs, but Motion Lab was able to refine the tune and achieve awesome results on lower boost levels =

OLD
Original dyno = 503 rhwp / 408 ft-lbs @ 9.9psi

NEW
Baseline run = 460 rwhp / 396 ft-lbs @ 7.4psi
Final tuned run = 498 rwhp / 436 ft-lbs @ 7.7psi

Chuck33079 09-01-2013 01:26 PM

Awesome. The same power and more torque at lower boost levels. Gotta love that.

Dzel 09-01-2013 04:49 PM

I think you noted it under GaleForce....unless he used Q16 also?

Excellent, let us know the final numbers.
I think you will be the first built motor with a single turbo finished. Still waiting on O&G to finish up his build.

I don't know if I'll ever call it finished but here goes:


-2012 G37 IPL coupe
-GTM Garrett TT stage 1
-556whp/418trq
-13.5psi
-Less than 500 miles on it
-Stage 1 GTM long block
-Stage 4 GTM Auto transmission
-Blitz SBC Type-R Boost controller w/remote
-Fast Intentions "cat-back" exhaust
-stock cats

I am posting this separately from the Stillen thread so it does not get lost in the hoopla. I want people to know that are some cars with the Stillen FI kit that have been working well with no real issues since day one and I have put about 3200 miles on this kit including one track day at Hallet Motor Speedway.

My car is a 2009 A7 and the FI kit has been installed since September 1st. The kit was installed with about 6,800 miles on it by Chris Cartwright with Failsafe Performance in Tulsa, OK.

The car was originally dyno’d prior to the FI install and produced 272 rwhp and 227 rwtq. Two weeks later after the install the car was dyno’d again on the same dyno under similar conditions and the car produced 389 rwhp and 290 rwtq. That’s a difference of 117 rwhp and 63 rwtq on 91 octane.

The results may not be what Stillen advertised but drivability is excellent and the increase in performance is very noticeable. First gear is almost useless and second gear has major traction issues. I love swinging out the rear in second gear as I am going through a turn in a very nice controllable fashion and then accelerating out of the turn.

The only noticeable issues are 1) when the motor is heat saturated and I stop the car and then get back in it, at times, it will not start without giving it a bit of throttle. At first I was like what the heck? But now that I am familiar with it I am prepared to give it a little throttle if it does not start right off as normal. It’s really not that big a deal now that I know what to expect and what to do. 2) When the temperatures dropped recently I started to experience some tip-in knock (detonation) when giving throttle under load. This happens mostly when at cruise and the trans is in a higher gear and the motor is in the lower rpm’s. To ensure I was experiencing knock I went to one of the few stations left in OKC that has 93 octane fuel, turns out that they had 101 octane for all the high end cars in the area (Porches, Lambos, Ferrari’s, etc.). I had half a tank of 91 octane in the car so I decided to fill up the 101 octane since the very next day I was participating in a track day. Once the fuel was mixed in, later that day I noticed a very noticeable increase in power across the board. I was surprised that increasing the octane would not only eliminate the tip-in knock but also increase the power as much as it did. I later found out talking to a friend of mine who was a Mercedes/Audi mechanic that Nissan’s VQ37 platform has a really nice knock sensing strategy that advances timing to maximize performance until knock is experienced and then adjusts accordingly. Wow! Is all I can say and now I try to fill up with the 93 octane (since the station is by my office) for the increased performance.

Does the Stillen kit produce as promised and without any issues? Well, not entirely but, performance is a bit subjective based on dyno’s, conditions, octane fuel, etc. and quite frankly I am very happy with the performance and the drivability of the car. The issues I am experiencing are minor and easily dealt with. So, overall I am very pleased with the Stillen FI kit and I am very, very pleased with my 370Z overall. My experience at the track day a week ago today was awesome. Unfortunately the weather sucked and we experience rain most of the day. However, the first two sessions of the day were dry (though chilly/cold track) and I was able to easily hang with a supercharged Corvette Z06 putting down 650 rwhp. We both kept our VDC systems activated since track conditions were not ideal. I actually had fun and enjoyed learning to drive with the VDC activated. With the track wet and cold without the VDC the rear would just come around and the car would spin out (I know, I tried it). With the VDC on it would intervene and keep the car from loosing the rear but would allow me to still swing out the rear and push the tires to their traction limits in the corners. I got to the point I was literally drifting the car through corners. Though the conditions were not ideal and I could not go as fast as I would have liked, it was a blast and I came to appreciate the VDC system and enjoyed experiencing a track day under those conditions.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

So you did not put in the valvebody upgrade, I understand. How's the transmission holding up?

Do you have a dyno grpah? Also, what TQ number are you running?

carlitos_370z 11-13-2013 08:56 AM

sorry for ask this for what turbo kit do you recommend me for a DD car running with the stock internals. I want to get power.. something about the 475-500whp. I read somewhere that our cars hold about 550whp i dont remember.

Thanks for the help!!!
