Just wanna clarify...

Sounds like stillen will make a supercharger system for the g37 also. I hope this is true.

Summer of 09 Pleaseeeeee!

Just bought my Z yesterday so if you guys wouldn't mind going ahead and putting this thing out before I buy an intake in the next few months that would be great.

K? Thanks. ;)

Yes, it will be for both the 370Z and G37, and is in development.. but I cannot release any additional details at this time..

But it's coming..

can you give us an ETA range and price range? Some of us need to plan ahead..

Thanks. Please make different HP stages. Hopefully the blower can max out around 550 WHP. Thanks.

You're kidding right? The stage 2 kit is going to be "around" 375 whp, so I think 550 whp (~660 chp) is pretty optimistic given the design criteria Josh and Kyle have described.

The key for me is CARB legal status. I think I can live with ~375 whp (~450 chp) when I know I'll have a CARB # and never have to worry about smog.

I'll save the crazy power for my pre-1976 cars where I don't have to worry about smog checks...

In the other hand, most superchargers (including centrifugal SC's) are CARB exempt. That sticker, unfortunately, makes all the difference for us in CA :o

Actually, the ARE NOT CARB exempt, but it's easier for them to pass CARB certification tests for the reasons mentioned earlier. There are no changes required to the exhaust system in order for them to work and therefore, they don't fall afoul of the catalytic heat-up test necessary for certification and CARB approval.

If you want "big power" you "HAVE" to go turbo, preferably ONE VERY LARGE compressor...

"Normal" driveability/reliability ALWAYS requires compromises in power.

Hey im pretty noob at this but is there a boost controller on a sc like a turbo cuz if there was couldn u jus drop the boost before you went to get it smogged

That's not exactly how CARB works.. it's not a matter of simply passing the required emissions levels, it's about submitting extremely detailed documents on the design, function, and specs of the forced induction system, having the entire thing tested, gobs of paperwork, etc.

It's an expensive process, but one we go through for you the consumer, to have an extremely reliable, CARB legal forced induction system.. one that has allowed us to go so far as to be able to offer an engine warranty for the extra comfort factor, as the mfg engine warranty would be easy to point fingers at..

BINGO. :tup:

These are the kinds of things that are really worth paying for. Who wants a 1 or 2 year old 30,000 dollar car that feels like a poorly constructed kit vehicle?

Does a stage 2 setup with about 375whp (est of course) assume a stock exhaust? What if someone were to then get an aftermarket exhaust. Do superchargers respond to larger exhausts as well as turbos? Would this bump power appreciably? What implications are there for the warranty?

Kyle@STILLEN 05-09-2009 10:16 AM

You can safely assume that any supercharger dyno we perform here is done using a car that has been equipped with an exhaust system. Supercharger's definitely see benefits of opening up the exhaust similar to a turbo however you don't want to use too big of a pipe. On a turbo car you generally see exhaust piping around 3" diameter. This is a little too big on a supercharged application.

For example, we do not recommend running headers on our current supercharger configuration because the decreased backpressure causes the supercharger to drop one pound of boost.
