Stillen supercharger long term reports

brucelidat · 08-21-2015, 11:53 AM

Now that we can tune VVEL with Ecutek, I can probably get more power out of the kit with my LTHs as well.

I have had E85 in my car for over a year and the only thing I seen was the same that Phunk seen in his. There is a bit of black material in the bottom of the pump. I have identified where this comes from and it is not going to hurt anything. Except you might want to change/clean your fuel filter after about a year.

Phunks been on E for over 4 years.

Are you running e85 with this kit?

TopgunZ · 08-21-2015, 01:08 PM

Yes

brucelidat · 08-21-2015, 01:09 PM

What kind of numbers are you putting down? Also, anything we should be aware of that we haven't discussed? Are you running the stock cooler or the Frozen Boost one?

I have never ran this kit yet. I have designed an air to air setup and dyno it on Wednesday. Shooting for 500+whp.

I have a frozen boost cooler for sale if you want to upgrade to that. It would really help with temp control.

Why would you not want a custom tune? A tune just for your car will always be better than a tune for every car!

Maybe he wants to keep his warrant?

Stillen if I read correctly you guys will do a custom tune and keep the warrant if it's don't by you?

TopgunZ · 08-22-2015, 10:29 PM

Your going to spend $9k to go FI then not spend another $500 on a tune?

That is the wrong way to do it.

brucelidat · 08-22-2015, 11:46 PM

If I do it, it will be with an Ecutek tune. Being able to tune VVEL will probably let me get more power out of the kit with my LTHs. I would also probably do flexfuel for cooling and some more power as well. I believe Ecutek has some safety options as well for detonation to help keep things from going boom.

Is it a good system because i look into this and their good and bad comments or twin turbo is better way to go

I believe you can get more power out of a twin turbo, but this is a good solid kit that they've put together IMO so far.

One more thing to note. If you want to max out on power, TT may be the way to go. The majority of those who have had issues with the Stillen SC kit, have been because they went beyond the stock kit and started swapping pulleys, etc. The kit is ideal when kept as-sold, from everything I've gathered on this forum.
