Well here goes. I thought I'd document the fitting of my Stillen supercharger (and related mods) as not much info seems to be about on these. I managed to pick up the very last DE/Revup charger from Stillen through Tarmac, which is a 'tuner' model (i.e. doesn't come with the piggy-back ECU etc.). So my shopping list for the project includes:

Stillen supercharger with intercooler.

Mishimoto oil radiator

Deatschwerks DW200 fuel pump

Deatschwerks 440cc injectors

Stillen high capacity oil sump (already fitted)

Prosport oil temp gauge

Prosport air/fuel wideband gauge

Stillen bonnet cowl

Tuning will be required afterwards but I haven't decided where this will be as yet.

First step was fitting the cowl to my carbon fibre bonnet. Deep breath and cut a large hole...

Cowl was then bolted and bonded to the bonnet with Tigerseal

Finally resprayed and fitted to zed.

Mine are 3M'd on and are fine. Tigerseal is good but what if you want to get them off again in the future!?

You can still get them off, it's just harder.

Tigerseal is great but when I bought my secondhand rear louvre it came with the rear window attached to it bonded with the stuff. It was easier to break the window and mechanically remove the sealant than trying to cut it off!

Sorry folks but I'm pretty sure he's not doing this anymore

Does it lay eggs?

I recently declared mods and Hastings Direct said the underwriters would insure the vehicle anymore! We're only talking coil-overs, wheels, exhaust and alike.

My Halfords didn't know what a 350z was

[Ahh how much is excessive? The enige I swapped into my old civic drunk like half a litre every few days (rings were gone)

My Revup can 'drink' a litre of oil on a long run.

Probably will be a Revup. A HR would have twin air intakes and 7500 redline

there is no ecu with mine as it is the 'tuner' model which is best for the revup engine. HENCE I will be fitting larger injectors etc and will get a full ecu tune.

Hey, im a little late to this thread i guess. I have a Stillen stage 4 S/C in my 350.

There are far too many threads all over the net crying about this S/C or the other and in most case apples are being compared with bananas and vice versa.

Choice of supercharger will depend on a huge number of personal preference or personal situation elements (price, self fitting ability, install price, sound, upgradability, etc) and comparisons can be irrelevant depending on those personal preferences, and on support mods, the actual map, the driving style etc etc /insert endless list here.

I drove 2 vortech S/C 350s before the Stillen i have now, before looking at any printouts of claimed figures and without consider who had mapped each and to which instructions/ability/preference and without considering supporting mods (or actually, compatible mods - since not all mods help) i have to say that power wise they didnt FEEL much different. One of the Vortechs seems to add the power a bit later up the revs, but otherwise they 'felt' comparable. Personally i would vote one against the other if it were mebuying one now today.

The huge difference in the 2 kits however is the sound of the Stillen!! and that, is one of preferences :-)

Thanks for the reply Blade. I have in fact now bought a stage 3 Stillen (tuner model) and I'm waiting to fit it along with supporting mods.

Did you fit yours yourself? I am planning to do mine and then get it tuned. I guess from your location you are the opposite end of the UK to me.

Pretty easy to do. Just use the rolled cardboard trick to stop the bolts from dropping into the door liner.

Reminds me of the subway that goes under the Colossium, That's causing plenty of damage to the ancient munument

Would you take £40 posted on the handles, will they fit a 04 plate

Sorry handles now sold

I fitted mine last week with clear silicone. Stuck on fine and has had a good run up the M5.

What make of louvre are you fitting. I've had a few issues with the 'slats' rattling against the glass!

Im south Somerset too ������

 

Hey cool. Whereabouts? There is another 350 around Chard area now.

 

Near Yeovil how about you? Saw quite a few at the Bristol meet yesterday

Just outside Chard so not far

Im south Somerset too 😊

They scratch real easy but I patched mine up with Halfords matt black spray and seems perfect match :-)

Good to meet everyone today on my first outing. Just got in now. Time to wash the zed again!

love those louvres boys ... Taybo where did u get yours from?

It was 2nd hand. One of the US, one of the Louvregang ones.

My louvre on too :-)

Rear louvre fitted today

 

 

 

Nice one. Picking mine up tomorrow morning.

Managed to tidy up the extenders for the rear coilovers.

Not sure if you are aware that the bluetooth adaptor will not work with most modern phones.
