So order a couple of 63.5/64MM air straighteners, probably 5:1 or 7:1 and put them just inside the inlet pipe before the MAF's and I bet your drivability issues go away.

SS_Firehawk · 02-24-2013, 03:36 PM

No issues with mine AEM.

Regarding my drive-ability issues as previously described. Stillen believes they have a fix based on the symptoms and the Cipher file I sent. They are working on it and say they should have a solution shortly - more later.
Osiris - let us know how the air straighteners work out.

Someones modified his Y pipe.. Its got 2 flat plates welded into the intake side. Looks like who ever had the kit before him had issues too, and tried to fix them. I don't think he will use the air straighteners.

Man all that work pulling the front apart.. Damn..

so, basically i couldn't install them because....well, just look at the above pic.

irondoc · 03-03-2013, 09:14 AM

Okay, So that must be part of Stillen's solution to the problem in addition to the shield.
I would have been seriously irritated/pissed off, as I am sure you were - I can only imagine the silent (or otherwise) stream of invective that discovery must have caused.
Unfortunately there were no available pics of the intake tube ends like the one you posted. Hopefully you can label it so an image search for "Stillen supercharger CAI" can find it.
Stillen's proposed solution has to do with air recirculation in the emissions control system. It won't help with California street legal cars but it might benefit you as you live in Florida. They are testing it now, I hope to hear from them this week.

Osiris · 03-03-2013, 09:28 AM

Not all of them have this....Nut_N_Much's Y pipe is completely open, no lateral fins like on mine.

Osiris · 03-02-2013, 07:32 PM

I bought my kit new, so it came like that. I just never saw it because the dealer installed it originally

dansracing · 03-03-2013, 07:19 PM

Well I got my kit installed last week and picked the car up on Thursday. Went on about a 500 mile round trip and the car and kit performed flawless. I dyno'd in at 413 WHP which is about what I was looking for. I instructed my tuner to set it up extra reliable.
I have plenty of clean power and the drivability is excellent. At normal cruising speeds you would never know any work had been done on the car. I cruised at speed ranges from 60 - 70 and 80 for long periods at a time. And of course slammed it down many times as well. I feel like I put the car through a pretty good series of driving conditions and she never missed a beat. Like a said, it drove flawless.
I have to give credit to J Tran Studios in Houston Texas. Ron did a spectacular install and of course, Johnny is the master of tuning our cars. Taking it back in this Saturday to change the SC oil and I should be good to for long term, except that I will be back in before long for meth injection. Mainly for engine safety reasons.
I will post some pictures tomorrow. I forgot to take them today.

I watched the install and tune, Ron & Johnny are a great team. Car is sick bro, hope to see you at the shop some day. My car has been sleeping there for some time, bought to go under the knife.

Just an update. My 2013 Stillen SC 370Z has settled down beautifully. For the last year the car has run flawlessly reliably. !2000 miles. It just runs, every day, like it was factory built with the SC.
I am very pleased.

It just fixed itself?
