Stillen Supercharger estimates???
 

What kind of stats can we expect from the stillen s/c kit, any estimates on hp/tq, 0-60 times, Type of S/C, etc...?
*

Nobody knows anything outside of Stillen.

^I hope so, awhile ago I got to ride in 350z with a vortech S/C, and I thought it was pretty fast

Stillen has been playing this one very close to the chest.

They haven't even announced what type of blower they are using no less any power predictions.


:ninja3: They have mentioned though that we will all like it. :D

Lol, I'm sure we will all def like it, I just hope it is priced well & reliable, I not looking for insane Hp, my goal is to get about 350-400 tq

I hope it isn't like the 350 S/C where they just slapped it on the plenum, and you had to buy another hood also.

400 ft-lbs. That would be really nice!!!

Some people have mentioned 7K-ish is what could be the expected price point.

I'd be willing to pay 5-7k for a quality product that I don't have to worry about something going wrong.

I loved my stillen stage 3 on my 350. To me at least, especially for road course work, it was much more driveable than the centrifugal ones. Lots of low end torque and no giant intercooler to block cooling airflow for the radiator. However, on the C6, I drove a Callaway at a driving school and had a vortech on my own, and the vortech was more fun to me, just ran too hot.

Its possible you won't need a new hood with this one ;)

+1

Keeping my eyes opened for this, too. Can't hurt to add it to all my other goodies! :tup:

one can dream...

Lol speaking of dreaming - 400 tq hahaha... no wayy a SC is gonna get you that much TQ... Thats like 2x stock haha

^well if I can get to 350 tq, I would be more then happy, I think we can get close with bolt-ons + the S/C & tune

I think that 350wtq is attainable. The S/C should add 55-75, and then full bolt ons....I would take a good size wager I could get it done.

55-75, you don't think that underestimating a little?

my thoughts exactly. that was definitley a 1K cost that you don't really think of when looking for a stillen sc for the 350z.
wouldnt surprise me if they ran the same style setup; as one of the few F/I options on the 370z market when it comes out, people really dont have many other options, so its just another channel for stillen to make some $$$

Agreed. Stillen rushed it so they could be the first to the market (which they were), but they didn't sell alot of them when better kits were released shortly afterwards.

I would think that 55- 75 whp would be a slight under-estimate. Kraftwerks rotrex's, on other cars, are putting up like 75- 100 whp with like 10psi.

I would be willing to bet that I am right on with the whp numbers. I have had three supercharged cars, it is not that easy to make big numbers on a stage 2 street type setup.

The 350's only gained 60-65 max whp with the Stillen stage 2. What makes you guys think I am conservative?

supercharger = :supergay:

^ I agree and think it will be a conservative kit just like the one for the Z33. The Stillen kit for the Z33 is kinda of joke considering the price of the kit, new hood, and installation.

Rotrex uses centrifugal SCs. Stillen uses roots-style SCs. Can't compare the two.

I have hope that Stillen's kit will be pretty good, plus vortech is starting to make a centrifugal S/C, either way I will be buying the more reliable kit :)

In my experience that would be the roots type, not the centrifugal.

^ thanks for the advice, I talked to the GM at nissan who I bought the car from him, I mentioned that stillen was making a supercharger, and he said if I have the dealership install it, he would cover it under my warranty. Since stillen is know to do business at certain dealerships, and is trusted by Nissan.

^ Where in Florida? Not that I would ever have it installed at a nissan dealer, but if I ever have issues...

i know the infiniti dealership here has Stillen stuff and ads all over their parts counter. they install and warranty it

Why is there no word on this yet? STILLEN WHERE ARE YOUUUU?

We're here... as always. The kit is under development. We'll have more details when we're closer to release, including pricing estimates.

We're not about creating hype before a product is develop and tested.

You leave the hyping to my anticipation then :) but care to PM me when you roughly think this might be done? whats the time frame? Months? weeks? DECADES?

^^ atleast give us anticipators that :tup:

it will be interesting to see what they do with the DTB set up in these cars. that puts a damper on just slapping something on there because most kits are designed for a single throttle body I am quite interested in seeing how they handle this.

Maybe only using one and using the tuning software to turn off the second throttle body?
Or simply casting a dual intake inlet for the supercharger?


hmm...

I'll see what I can do.. but remember there are other considerations as well, CARB, etc.

Thanks for the interest, I'll pass it along as well, remind everyone people are excited..

yea definitely man - us in Cali will love you if you can give us decently priced reliable power which we wont get harassed for having on our cars... CARB ok would be soo amazing for a SC kit :) you WILL have my buisness

and mine as well.

I really loved my stillen supercharger on the 350, and its the only type I would even consider on the 370, even if I have sworn off forced induction on any more cars that didn't come with it originally.
