Stillen SC preparations

jwick

I feel like we post this over and over....DON'T buy Mishimoto crap. MY tuner has a pile of their failed products over in a corner.

I have a complete monitoring system of gauges. I swapped to the 2008 G37 thermostat Chuck refered to and it works great. It was over 90's in the shop last week during my tune and we never saw coolant temperatures over 200defF.

I highly recommend the radiator upgrade. I'm running the CSF and it works great.

Your oil cooler is too small for Houston weather. I'm running a 30 row oil cooler and have an additional grill since I own a G. Driving around this weekend with temperatures in the high 80's/low 90's it's nothing for you to have 220deg oil temps while boosting. Now you're might be lower since I believe the Stillen SC is a self contained oiling system but it'll still get pretty high.

Chuck hit is on the head...Go overboard with heat management!

I got the Mishi part....on the first message
I AM doing the radiator
I AM doing the condenser
I WILL be looking for another Thermostat
Injectors will be at the top end of the spectrum.

Checking Frozenboost, or other coolers as we speak.

These forums are designed to get input from multiple sources, especially to AVOID issues like with Mishi...and the cooling...thanks for that, and if it seems redundant..welll...I like to hear different peoples opinions and experiences/input...
I am sure somewhere in the future, I too, will pass on this info from my experiences...

Wasn't an attack. It's just how adamant we feel about their products.

We are all here to happily assist with your build. I've learned a great deal within this community and know you will as well. You'll find there are a good number of boosted VQs in the Houston area and all more than willing to assist.

I appreciate it VERY much, and I am not too proud to ask for advice, maybe even the same question to numerous people.
Mishi has been discarded from my books...
I wouldn't have known without everyone's input.
One of the people I order from sells quite a few Mishi products...
Makes me leery of them now...But no probs, as I wont purchase them...

Thanks

What CC Injectors would be recommended? 850/1000?
Deutschwerks?

How much are you going to push the SC? If they give you 600s, upgrade them to 750s or so. Don't go too big if you aren't going to need it. If you're going to swap out all the pullies and impeller on the blower and really push it, then you may need to go to 850s or 1000s. If you're getting a Walbro 255 with the kit, see if they have the option to upgrade to the Aeromotive for a little additional headroom.

I believe they come with 750s and with the 8 lb pulley you will only run them about 80 percent. I asked Mark at Stillen about the 600s because I've seen that several times here and he told me they all come with 750s.

Who is a good vendor for the CSF radiator locally? is it vehicle specific or any particular model?
