The "new kit" will be an upgraded "High Boost" option for the existing kit. It will still use the STILLEN Manifold. Is there a reason you want to retain the stock manifold in particular?

For the Stellar Team at Stillen...
Now that we are Talkin' Mo' Pow'r... :yum:
Gotta say that I'm liking this a lot !

I like the on demand performance of the SC'r,
I like the idea of the centrifugal SC'r and your bracket.
I like the intercooler incorporated in to the manifold.
I like the design concept, testing,ez of installation, and roadability/reliability of your Kit ... kudos... :tiphat:

I'm in the process of building my motor and will be staying with the Stillen Kit basics...but upgrading the SC'r from the V3 to the V2 Ti.

What I would like to see is a race package geared for a built motor that would support 15 lbs of boost...along with a Cog Pulley option.
Sort of a Stillen on Steroids ...:D

Hopefully that may be in your future plans, but for now, I'm about ready to get my motor back from IPP and will be putting in that bigger Vortech V2 Ti SCr' (similar specs as the V1 Ti on the Vortech website) back in the car very soon.
Upgraded to the 9.5:1 CP forged pistons with forged crank arms and ARP L19 bolts

I would really appreciate any suggestions you may have regarding upgrading the current Stillen Kit Blow Off Valve if needed to handle the 15psi, any mods that I may be able to do to the manifold/intercooler that would increase efficiency, any other ideas along these lines of stepping up to the next level utilizing my own version of "Stillen on Steroids" would be greatly appreciated !

Thanks, (PM OK)

Mark you have my car now so tell the shop to get to work and give me more powaaaaaa :driving:

Let's just get her running right first :)

On a serious note. The high boost kit, once developed will not be available as a smog legal kit for California residents. It will also be not recommended for 91 octane.

Sounds like a Cali problem HAHA!! JK! but I am very excited for this and I love my Stillen kit still to this day. Great team and a fantastic kit :)

I feel for you guys and the Cali car laws, that crap would drive me nuts.

I lived there for 21 years and their laws are no fun lol.

Oh that's just booooo

You must love Florida then!

I do! But I do miss the Cali weather sometimes :tup:

In CA:

Officer= Hey is this car modified? I'm gonna need you to step out of the car and get beat half to death

In FL:

You: Hey officer check out my new turbos want a ride?

Oficer: Cool man, but no thanks I'm too busy beating you half to death. "PUT DOWN THE SKITTLES DAMN IT"

Keep telling your self that! I own a machine gun, suppressors, short barrel rifles, can run 93 octane with no corn and no one cares what I do to my car, it sucks here! If you act an idiot here and get shot thats your problem not mine, you can have Cali!

A lot of us either have the Motordyne or Z 1 modified manifold. Plus it's a cleaner look when u can retain the stock manifold cover when people like me have their cover painted or redone in CF. Just a little more options would be nice. If u had that option I would purchase it. Just don't want to lose out on money I already invested...

Hi Guys,

The STILLEN manifold is a huge part of the design of the supercharger system and will not be going away. While this is unfortunate for those who want to retain an aftermarket or O.E. manifold, for us it is too important to the performance of the supercharger to lose. We really prefer air to water intercooler setups which is one of the main reasons we chose to design and manufacture the cast aluminum STILLEN manifold.

From a performance standpoint we do not feel it is possible to offer an air to water intercooler setup with the factory manifold with trying to package everything under the engine bay. There would be too many compromises made and we're not willing to do that.

It's still a bit early to talk too much about any possible "Stage 2" kit as we are very early in the development stages and we want to make sure we're fully comfortable with the kit before we release it to the public.

air to water inter-cooling is used for packaging in a roots setup, and for drag racing only where there is an ice chest and it is used to achieve sub ambient air charge temperatures, in every other way air to air is superior, including in fail safe ability if you get a hole in your air to air inter-cooler you have a boost leak, if you get a hole in your stillen water cooler you have a blown engine, if you have a water leak in your system your inter-cooler is effectively gone and the charge temps and detonation will go up. It would be nice to hear your reasoning for keep an air to water cooler, heat soak resistance? you know your kit heat soaks in half a session on a track right?
