Will Stillen Supercharger & G3 intakes Connect?

Kyle@STILLEN · 10-30-2009, 12:58 PM

If you plan on getting our supercharger then I would recommend holding off on the intakes or the headers. Also don't bother getting an aftermarket tuner as the kit will come with one. Also, the kit will be designed to work with the factory tuning, any modifications to your factory ECU will only complicate the installation.

Reasons:

Intake- Obviously there are going to be a lot of changes made to the intake system of the car. I know that our VQ35 supercharger worked with a lot of aftermarket intakes but there is no guarantee that the Gen. 3's will work, most likely they won't.

Headers- On the VQ35 we found that the headers resulted in a one psi drop of boost. Wait for us to test them before purchasing and installing headers or intakes.

Other parts of the car to prepare in the mean time:

Exhaust
High flow cats
suspension
brakes
body work
wheels and tires

Kyle: If I cant use my G3 intake with the Stillen supercharger what are my options:

Will there be an intake system provided with the Stillen supercharger?

Or will I have to put the stock intke back in. (this wouldnt make sense)

It's too early to really say what the options are because the kit is not completed. If the Gen. 3 intakes do not work then the factory intakes won't work either. Which means that the kit will have to come with an intake.

Keep in mind that if you add an intake today, you will definitely be able to sell it down the line when the s/c becomes available.
