Stillen Supercharger estimates???

Equinox · 10-26-2009, 08:15 PM

No hood mod because I'm sure it's a centrifugal supercharger set off to the side of the engine like another alternator in the belt accesories. Not a big blower sitting on the intake manifold.. or did I miss something?

Definitely looking forward to seeing what kind of numbers the supercharger will be putting out. I would of also been interested in a supercharger for the G37, but I am a sedan kinda guy for the Infiniti, and well, after seeing speculated pictures of the 2010 G37 Sedan front end, I can say for certain, I am not a fan of it, and would rather get something else. Hopefully it's not what people are claiming it is ( g25 in asia )

What i've seen done to increase clearance under the hood, is the development of a smaller intake plenum designed specifically for the blower to fit under the stock hood, which could be the case here. I'd much rather have a screw style blower than a centrifugal because I plan on drifting the car and would need that much needed low end torque!

Hmm...I hope its not a centrifugal....

being that the "manifold is a work of art" It could still be a screw or roots. The twin throttle manifold is prety big so if they completly did away with it they MAY have been able to fit a blower in there.

I'm guessing this "work of art" is going to cost us additional $$$

1slow370 · 10-28-2009, 01:41 AM

well hell at least they didn't just say it didn't have enough room and send us packin

It depends on how you look at it. The intake manifold is necessary in order to complete the installation, so whether it was a work of art or just something slapped together that would "do the job" it was going to be a part of the kit no matter what. Our guys just spent some extra time in making it look really nice.

So, any confirmation on the type and location of the blower?

Cheers lost twin on the other side of the ocean!

Now Kyle, give us twins and the other folks some info please...

Kyle@STILLEN · 10-29-2009, 03:58 PM

Sorry guys,

We don't like to give out much information until we are 100% ready to launch the product. There are many reasons for this but here are some of the primary reasons.

1) Things change...Right now we're in the prototype stages and very few parts are 100% locked down. We have a solid foundation and we feel like we are going in the right direction but if we find that something needs to be changed during our testing then there was no point in even talking about it to begin with. If we start saying what we're using and something changes then it only confuses the people who are late to the discussion. We have all seen threads (especially 12 page long threads

) where information gets lost or confused or misinterpreted later in the thread.

2) Protection...We are very proud of our engineering and we have had numerous people rip off our designs. We like to keep our investments and our engineering in house rather than give it to the world before we bring it to market.
