Stillen Supercharger

Postby **RacerZX** » Tue Dec 19, 2006 7:50 am

I don't know yet, we ran out of time yesterday. The SC is on and intercooler mounted, but still a bit of plumbing and wiring to complete this morning. Hopefully it'll be running and I'll be on my way home back to San Jose by noon.

And look, I gotta say this again and remind everybody to keep people's expectations level, I'm not going to be able to post the dyno numbers or 0-60 times or many driving impressions, my editor will kill me. I'll post a bit, but the rest will have to wait until after the article comes out in the spring issue of Nissan Sport Magazine in a few months.

well how does it feel? Quick as $hit would be an acceptable answer without divulging too much

It's *all that* AND a bag of potato chips. Quite seriously wow, better kit than the 350Z or Titan kits. Still have some minor drivability issues/teething problems to sort out, then I can go start doing my tests on it to see how it truly compares by the numbers.

It's hard being the guinea pig. At least you are giving us a good outlook so far. Can't wait to see the numbers.

A big thanks to the guys at my corner Chevron Oil Stop. They did a post-operation topping up of the coolant and tranny fluid (yes with the proper Nissan Matic J fluid) free of charge.

I think I can reasonably post this, since it's not my own test numbers for the magazine. It's Stillen's dyno graph, testing on their own test mule. Let's just say that my numbers are reasonably harmonious with the Stillen Marketing Department's Dyno chart below...

Damn! The power increase is awesome. Definitely looks worth the money. Did you have to reprogram the computer or just have it relearn by disconnecting the battery for a while? It's not running lean from the extra air is it? My biggest worry would be that the injection wouldn't have big enough jets to compensate.

Holy crap - that is A LOT of power

The Stillen SC kit has a piggyback ECU and a 7th fuel injector, so they are directly controling ignition timing and fuel themselves.

It sounds like they really did things right the first time. I guess this upgrade will be in the spring edition of your magazine? By the way, good luck with the publication.

can you give us a hint how much a hit in fuel eco you've taken?

Postby **RacerZX** » Sun Jan 21, 2007 12:50 am

I haven't had time to truly test it, but it honestly seems no worse than before as long as I don't put my foot in it constantly

Postby **Fofiddy** » Sun Jan 21, 2007 8:55 pm

so would you say it's pretty much the same as NA up untill 3000rpm?

Postby **RacerZX** » Tue Jan 23, 2007 2:02 pm

Well, that gets into my personal impressions vs. raw dyno numbers from Stillen, and I really shouldn't be posting those (need to save them for the magazine). If you're really dieing to know, send me an email.

your stock hp anf torque #'s seem a bit low , stock should be 266 hp and 288 f/p . impressive boost no matter , but your motor seems to have been on the low side to start .
is this supercharher like the one on the 90- 94 t-bird ? if so a reliable unit i put over 400,000 km on mine with no problems
