40th Stillen Supercharger Build
Just recently got my car back. I bought this supercharger kit used, so naturally we were missing some minor parts. The cog belts were the wrong size (tooth count indicated they are actually for a 350z, so they will be for sale soon!), the aftermarket coolant reservoir was too big, few bolts here and there...
After it was all installed we were able to make 400rwhp/340ftlb of torque @ 7psi. The install/tuning was done by R/T tuning. They did an amazing job -very clean install. We are currently working out an issue where the ecu switches into valet mode while I'm driving. Other than that it's very fun to drive and I will post pics soon! Also wondering if it would be worth getting the 9lb pulleys. I see some people on this forum making high 400's which is where I REALLY would like to be. Are the 9lb pulleys the solution? Current Setup: Stillen Supercharger Kit 928 impeller 550cc injectors Berk Test Pipes CNT Cat Back Exhaust Aeromotive Stealth 355lph Fuel Pump

I would advise going back to stock cats. We have seen significant power drops when using HFC's and Test Pipes with our supercharger. Also, if you are planning on going with the 9 lb pulley you will need at least 600cc injectors and I would recommend UpRev GT MAF's to make tuning easier.
Are you on 93 Octane?

Thanks for the reply. Yes I run 93 Octane. I suppose long tube headers are out of the picture if im going to stock cats...

How much power is lost from going to test pipes? I'm currently using test pipes. My power/tq is listed in my sig.

the stock cats will last longer than HFC's, the ceramic oem element last longer than the coated foil in a HFC.

You are going to lose almost 1 lb of boost in the actual cylinder from using test pipes so you'd probably get back 20 whp from going back to stock cats (though I see you are on an upgraded blower which we have not tested). There is a chance with the upgraded blower the boost would be too high in the cylinders but I couldn't not say without testing. @Nism0 If you are piecing parts together for the kit, might as well go with some 725-750cc injectors.

Just an update for anyone interested.
I am trying to get a hold of some OEM Cats. Just ordered my boost gauge (I'm a little late on that I know). I also forgot to add in that I have a 928 impeller (will be updating that now). I'll see how the car responds to the cats being added back on and take it from there. All around it's still very fun to drive at the moment

With the stock cats back on you'll pick up a lot . Your only seeing 7PSI I had the impeller and was seeing 11-12 PSI and made 457 WHP g37x coupe your going to see a NICE change with the stock cats.

No way will you only see 8psi with the impeller. I had the Stillen Stock pully (8psi) and the impeller upgrade from Vortch same as the 928 and was seeing 11-12 PSI. I had no other mods the the SC or differnt pulley. I have a thread on hear all about my run at 500 WHP. Name of thread is Stillen500 WHP. You will need a new tune because you wil see more PSI.
btw 500 WHP on their kit will not happen just be happy with mid 400's .
