So just ordered my Stillen SC

mikey1600 · 07-03-2014, 11:22 AM

found a picture on a stock motor, one end goes into the purge valve, then a small hose goes from the other end of the purge valve into the standard manifold, so the way I've set it up should be fine

Well all in all it's been very hard not driving the car since initial test drive (and keeping it around 2500-3000rpm max while on the 1 test drive!)

off to get tuned tomorrow then going to have some fun

thanks to everyone in this thread who have given me any info, really appreciate it guys! if anyone else has a stillen kit coming more than happy to receive any PM's with questions, will be happy to help and answer anything I can.

shout-out to Vivid racing for quick responses regarding ordering and even getting the kit to me cheaper, Vlad and Swiss for answering PM's and giving advice on the kit, Mark from Stillen here in the thread for stepping up and getting the base tune file sent to me after I had some issues.

I could definitely add a lot more to the stillen manual/supplemental stillen install instructions but didn't really bother with many pictures/DIY thread, most of it is fairly common sense but more pictures would definitely help.

It's definitely been a learning experience, stressful, fun, annoying at times, I am glad we did this at home in my garage though as it will help me out in future troubleshooting any problems with the kit.

so thank-you everyone!

JWillis72 · 07-06-2014, 09:51 AM

Once it's tuned you will love it, mine is a blast.

swiss370Z · 07-06-2014, 11:14 AM

Since 3 Years and again today in the best weather in our Swiss- Mountains

Mr&Mrs · 07-06-2014, 11:40 AM

Doing it yourself is always the best thing to do. Not just to know the ins and outs of the items being added but to create that bond with your car that I wish everyone understood.

Watch out for this?

Edit: or is that just water? hard to tell. I would definitely figure out where that core was leaking from if it just cost you a motor.

the core is not dented its water pooring out as I had it hooked to the hose.

Team_STILLEN · 07-06-2014, 04:47 PM

Yes, watch out for this. If you use no Anti-Freeze in your IC and it gets below freezing temperatures where you live it could cause this type of damage. Please follow the installation instructions and pay attention to what conditions call for what. In warmer climates such as Southern California, Florida, Texas, etc...water and water wetter will be fine. If you live in colder climates (northern US/Canada) this could cause ice to form in the IC core or heat exchanger which can cause leaks.
