I believe he wrote earlier that it will also work on G37s, and the VQ35HR 350s.

Must've missed it then, my bad

I'm basically all game for that! I've been waiting for a SC for a while, the first company to pull through, might be the one i'll be jumping on in a heartbeat, we'll see.

Both Stillen and GTM are gonna have good products. It's all about who delivers first for some members on the forum.

We're hoping that it fits on the VQ35HR motor but at this time we can't confirm that. We currently have a 370Z and a G37 in our shop which are both our cars but we do not have an 07-08 Z in the shop. Before everyone goes offering their cars, we don't need one yet! LOL. When we're ready to test the 07-08 Z we will make an announcement.

Is the warranty something only on the engine, or does it extend to the transmission and other driveline parts?

With that, are 7AT's going to be restricted or exempt or anything odd like that?

In addition, I've been thinking of getting F.I. long tube headers, and I already have their catback.

While I know you can't say 100% that it will work with other brands of aftermarket exhausts, will it be something of a show-stopper with adding a S/C?

I would be extremely surprised if they covered your motor...Im pretty sure the guarantee is on their kit...like if something fails. Not your motor.

Its a supercharger, not a turbo therefore your headers/exhaust are not modified. 2.5" piping from the FI stuff should be enough flow to work great with the SC.

Those are my guesses, but Kyle will answer you im sure.

The warranty right now will be on the kit components. Whether or not we extend that warranty to the engine depends on what we can work out with the insurance companies.

On the exhaust. You can prepare your car with a cat back but I would not recommend buying headers yet. In the past we have found that a supercharger can lose a pound of boost or so because of the decrease in back pressure. Until we can test the supercharger with the headers I would recommend not buying any brand of headers.

That is good info. Does this also apply to High Flow Cats or test pipes as well? I just jumped in on the Berk GB #2 and was looking to get their HFCs also. Thanks again for the info.

Minicobra1 12-16-2009 05:44 AM

THanks for the info Kyle, this will keep me interested for some time now :tup:

I am also interested in this as well. I bought the Stillen CB and HFC's in June for my Z. Will these mods have any affect on the initial tuning out of the box?

Kyle@STILLEN 12-16-2009 11:11 AM

The hi-flow cats won't make much of a difference and we definitely plan on making them part of our tuning packages.

Headers can decrease boost on some types of superchargers but we're not sure yet what effect they will have on this kit until we test it. I just want to make sure that everyone is setting their cars up for easy installs later so I'm being a bit cautious with what I recommend right now until our testing gives is completed.

Hi-flow cats won't decrease the boost but they could make the car run a bit lean. We will have a tune though to allow the use of hi-flow's. I don't know how long all of the tunes will take to compile but I imagine it won't take long.

It does help that our project 370Z that we have been messing around with the tuning for the past week does currently have the intake, headers, exhaust, high flow cat combination. And that is the car that we plan on using for our Z supercharger development. Currently the kit is being built on our G37.

Again, very useful information. I may just go on a pick up the HFCs. Now I am wondering if I can get away with picking up a Gen3 and still be good. I will be watchinig this thread closely now. This will be the first F/I kit that I will purchase, so I am kinda out there a bit. I am used to turbo setups and have only purchased intercooler piping kits, if you can call that a kit. So really this is new territory twice over for me.

Kyle, I like everything your saying here. I have everything mentioned except for the HFC's. I don't necessarily like what you are saying about headers losing a pound of boost though.

With the set up that I have, should I be worried about not being able to use some of the aftermarket Stillen stuff? or do you think that it won't be an issue?
-Thanks
