technically tuning your car is illegal here in california unless you have a carb approved tune yet no one is going to know about the different tune i dont know about you though but i have seen a few people here who broke 500whp with the stillen kit this guy has 445whp/335wtq on his stillen kit with stillen headers(which you are not supposed to do on any supercharger kit so he was probably getting more blow through then normal) and the stillen CBE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_Xg...waOAvg&index=2 plus most of the guys who give stillen a bad name dont even own the stillen kit so they dont have any say as to how good or bad the kit is(the people who use to own the kit though and say it sucks have a valid opinion because they use to own it) at the end of the day though, it all comes down to what you want and how much you are willing to pay, if you(you meaning anyone, not you specifically) want to pay more for the illegal kit and then have to pay more for illegal smogs, then more power to you I on the other hand dont have that kind of money so i dont mind making a bit less power but im able to fully enjoy my car on the streets which 90% of my driving takes place |

484/400 on the stillen kit and im sure meth injection would have bumped that up to 500 if not really close Quote:
please enlighten us on how it is garbage? can you recommend another carb approved kit that will make tons more power? |

No, I don't own a Stillen kit and will never own one. I'll stick with my stage 2 turbo.
That link u posted doesn't even make 500 and as u can tell from the title of the thread it is a HEAVILY modified kit. The only thing Stillen about that kit is the piping I believe. You're not going anywhere with a Stillen kit. If ur lookin for carb certified with power you're just wasting time and money (for now). |

I have been reffed twice in my life, they do not touch your car at all. Don't take anything apart, nothing. I got reffed with my 350z, went with my god dammm nitrous lines and fogger installed and they didn't say anything lmao. the ref fine for me was $130. I had every bolt on imaginable for that car. People think ref tickets are such a big deal when they really aren't. If you cant afford the tickets you are going to get then just don't mod your car. Smog isn't a big deal for me either. I never have smogged a car in my life. To the guy that is getting the stillen kit, make a complete build thread so I can follow it please. I REALLYYYYYY want to see you make 500rwhp with that kit. I'd rather spend $7500 at a strip club in one night than buy Stillen's kit hahahaha. GL!!! |
Anyways, OP most of the carb related stuff don't even matter when you get pulled over. If a cop pulls you over and he feels like writing you a ticket, he will. If you do go FI, just make sure you drive carefully in areas that you know cops usually chill at.

sure some refs dont care about bolt on parts but there are some who are real a-holes and it honestly isnt worth the time or money Quote:
all it took was one ticket for me to learn, and it cost me close to $400 to put my eclipse back to stock and pay for the ref fines plus i had to take 2 days off work to get everything done too much of a PITA for me to deal with, i would personally rather modify the stillen kit, not make as much hp, and not get hassled by cops/refs for mods(having the sticker is no guarantee from cops but i doubt refs will take apart the entire kit and measure everything and make sure the kit is still at carb spec), oh and its not about not being able to afford tickets i will get(as you say), its about not wasting time and money on getting around CARB(and thats great you live in an area with no emissions testing, i dont live in an area with no emissions so unlike you, i have to smog my cars every 2 years) oh and the comment about test pipes, i could care less about test pipes, if i wanted a loud car with amazing flow(but i dont), i would just put an electric cutout before the cat after installing the supercharger and getting the carb sticker trust me if i lived in another state, ill be all over fast intentions twin turbo kit or GTM's MHI twin turbo kit, but unfortunately i live in california so that isnt the case |

It's not "bad", it's just severely compromised compared to other fi options. That's why you see so many people changing the parts of the kit (and technically losing their carb certification).
|
^thissss.
Think people r starting to get it! |
From the wiki:
"California is the only state that is permitted to have such a regulatory agency, since it is the only state that had one before the passage of the federal Clean Air Act. Other states are permitted to follow CARB standards, or use the federal ones, but not set their own." |

Ummm I live in Cali too... What's the point in buying a Stillen kit if you are just going to change out half the stuff just to make more power? A GTM kit will still make more power than a fully modified Stillen kit, and for a lot less cheaper. If your just mainly after that carb sticker than I feel bad for you bro lol. Anyways, get the Stillen kit, get your carb sticker, and have fun with your amazingly slow Z. My guess is that you will be making around 360rwhp with stock cats. Your are going to bust through those cats and than you are never going to be able to smog your car ;) post a build thread PLEASE!!!!!!!!! |
Still interested.
|
Everybody on the forums knows you are still interested.
|
Yeah, we got it
|
Everyone's got it except the ones that count.. :(

Feel free to pickup the phone and simply just call them for an update. Its obvious GTM is too busy to keep their threads up to date. Please refrain from just bumping this any longer unless theres a development. Thank You. |

Since George was in a communicating mood, I asked him about CARB certification status for their supercharger kit. No commitment or explaination why it is taking 4 years to do. He did claim it is still being worked on....... He also said I shouldn't ask again and wait for a thread to be made on it.. :rofl2:
