Stillen Supercharger reliabiity

SouthArk370Z

I was thinking the same thing, but don't have enough experience with superchargers to know if it was a "stupid" question or not. Going by my experience with other machinery (some similar, some not), I would have guessed 5-10 hours would be enough break in. Waiting with bated breath for an answer.

Okay - so this was my mistaken interpretation from an early conversation with a Stillen tech.
However, I spoke with my primary rep at Stillen today. He says there is no Break in time for a Supercharger and if the tech is satisfied with the install the car can be run to redline for a dyno pull the same day as the install. The guys at IPS agree so hopefully the car will be ready to roll today. I will post the pre and post dyno numbers hopefully by tomorrow but if the car isn't ready tonight I won't be able to pick it up until Thursday.

advice get a good tune. the stillen kit will serve you fine but its not make for any real power with out modification the head unit is a good unit and makes good power but the kit with water to air cooler and maf positioning limits the head units power with out modification

i will post my dyno numbers today or tommorow

436/340 @ 9psi

i added water/meth and cog pullies

numbers will be added

and if i dont go turbo next year i iwill add longtubes,ysi-trim and move the maf behind the blower with a new intake pipe

This still will not fix the weird MAF readings, The MAF's will still be before the intercooler, So the maf/s read before the intercooler, once it hits our intercooler the maf readings change.
The only way is to dump the air to water kit and move to air to air and scap that useless intake mani.
Me and sasha are going to look into it in the spring time.
I love my stillen kit, But when its hot out -80-100 degrees The cooling system can not keep up.
Pulls alot of timing.
But over all after a good tune, the kit is great.

we were looking at doing some kinda split pipping after the blower then your maf then into your stillen intake

the combo of using water-meth and upgraded to the water-air cooler should be fine

I have a pipe that was fabed, it fits, just doesnt do what we want.
Where gonna put back on the stock intake mani, Run the piping like the stillen gen 3, have the maf's in the stock postion.
Sashas already looked at it, and said its do-able.
new intercooler upfront. Should work out good, im looking forward to it.
