How to get 515 HP from your 370Z

PapoZalsa · 04-15-2010, 08:31 PM

Found this in my Facebook page from Nissan:

The horsepower-loving team over at Costa Mesa-based Stillen is getting ready to unleash what it thinks will be a very popular product for a very popular car: a supercharging kit for Nissan 370Z and Infiniti G37 vehicles that boosts power from 332 hp to 515, all running while on 91-octane gas.

The kit is currently undergoing testing from the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and is targeted to begin shipping later this month. All the parts for it are made either at Stillen’s headquarters or elsewhere in Orange County, company officials said.

Starting price will be $5,899, and will require 10 to 12 hours to install by a shop, Stillen reps said. Nissan dealers around the nation are also ordering the kit to make it available as an option on the cars, which use the same V6 engine. (Infiniti is the luxury division of Nissan.)

I love how people on those websites just randomly come up with stuff with no research or proof. Like the one guy who just decided this kit wouldn't make 515 whp or even 515 at the crank.

I've seen that too. Looked like a media release, but I've haven't seen it on stillen's website.

Aye, but at the same time I want to add both oil and tranny cooler, new clutch and flywheel and adding the cost for installation (i'm an EE, not an ME), we're approaching $10k. It's ok though... I get my 1 month sabbatical in 3 years which comes with a $10k bonus, so I just have to be patient

No hard feelings, and I didn't see that about "dealer installed", so THAT is new news to me.

HAHA..I know that's right. But the supercharger sounds sweet. If I only had 6K, I'd be in for it! But I have better things to do with the money than to dump it into any car...unless, however, I won the lottery
