Recommended supercharger setup?

I try my best in English!

Hey Guys

Be nice to each other again......

The question of what SC- Kit you should take, everyone should decide for themselves.
I find it very sad that the same war breaks out again and again, when someone asks, what SC- Kit do you recommend?

If both correctly installed, the software optimizes and the car is well maintained
and no long high speed runs are completed (can also be a normal engine explode), is the pure joy of such a SC- Kit nothing in the way.

I drive for 1 1/2 years and 22'000 Km (13'700 miles) one of these kits (STILLEN) so far without problems.
(except catalyst problems...... Which HFC for a TT or SC Build)
Since the software is properly configured.

I am convinced, both companies and could recommend both.

@ Luigi
If you are with a distinctive engine bay (I read you like understatment) and go with carb legal like, then choose STILLEN.

If you want a little more power and unobtrusively go, then choose GTM

My personal tip:
Decide first for the tuner you can install the kit (or let it install directly from the manufacturer) and then make your decision on which kit you want.
Unfortunately I can not give any suggestion where you can go for installation?
I'm too far away (Switzerland)

Just be aware that such an intervention can go on an engine always breaking something as performance will be greatly increased.
I change the engine oil every 3'000 miles (high quality) and regularly check all of the components (air filters, belts, bearings ....).
The maintenance is for a SC- Kit of course higher than normal.

I hope I have helped you a little?

thank you, it really helps to read posts like this instead of the bashing(which i kind of expected this to happen but still...), i dont plan on pushing it anymore than whats out of the box with their tune(or maybe a custom tune not sure yet), how satisfied is your friend with his supercharger kit?

I am in san diego and cops here dont crack down on modified cars unless you're street racing or something along those lines so im not to worried about a cop asking me to pop my hood but i would like to keep everything legal at that off chance that it happens
Thanks you, I kind of understood what your post said but could you clear something up, when you said the engine would break on extended runs, what do you mean?
like autobahn driving 155mph for 1hour straight or 80mph for 10hours straight?

I understand pushing your car hard will break things and that installing this will require more maintenance to keep the car running but I wouldn't want my car breaking on a drive to Vegas or something

No problem man just trying to help out. From what i have gathered is that Stillen's tune has problems and you are better off going with a custom tune to suit the needs of your driving and your cars mods. I hear you on the whole street racing thing. Basically just don't do anything to attract attention and you will be fine. My friend really does like his kit because, he was the first HR 350z to ever have the kit. I have rode in in plenty of times and the power is definately there. He makes 400rwhp on 100 oct on a 9lb pulley i believe. He is also a 5AT so he will make slighty less power than if he had a 6MT. The car definately moves though. All in all, he is happy with the kit, but is extremely unsatisfied with the customer service. As for reliability, i cannot say because he has only had the kit installed for about a year now and for the past 4 months his car has been going through some new paint and such because of a little incident he had with his ex gf lol so technically hes only been driving the car for 8 months with the kit. Like i said i have nothing against Stillen, but i would strongly recommend getting the GTM kit. In my personal opinion, the kit is better thought out than Stillen's, and the customer sevice is top notch, and that i can speak about from personal experience. Either way, whatever kit you get it will be a huge improvement over what you have now. So good luck and happy modding

Hey Luigi

I just wanted to say that not a long car ride with your new kit can withstand full power! Even a normal engine can explode so ....
So be careful with long full throttle over 150mph or more on autobahn driving!

I wanted to tell you.
Hope you understand what I mean?
