Calling Stillen SC Owners with upgraded kits

TheTripleC · 02-27-2015, 04:41 PM

So here's a question which I haven't really seen any specific info about on here: If you want to get the most out of the Stillen kit by upgrading the impeller and pulley, would upgrading the internals be enough to handle the extra boost or would you need to pull the motor and do some serious machine work..?

Building the motor (internals : rods, pistons, head bolts, etc) should be #1 on your list if you plan on making some serious power... It's your money well spent.

Cool man, thanks! That's kinda what I figured. The next question would be: Once the internals are upgraded, what's the threshhold for PSI then? From what I've read, 11psi is the somewhat risky limit on a stock motor. Curious how much more PSI the engine could safely handle once upgraded. I'd love to do both the impeller and pulley upgrade on mines. I would obviously upgrade the cooling system as well..

Hey TripleC,

Check out the .: "Forced Induction Finished Builds" :. thread here on this forum.
It will give you an idea as to what others have done.
It can get costly and time consuming though, so set yourself a target goal for performance and also a budget.
Once you start pumping up the power you may also find that you will need to upgrade other things as well.

Good to ask questions - Good Luck on your build !!!
