Thinking of going Stillen S/C
everyone has to learn sometime. I got into a lot of FI arguements and was so sure I was right until later when I'd read more and realize I was wrong. G35_TX is doing the same thing, but he won't drink the water we led him to

Exhaust does, plenum does, ecu tuning does, emanage partly does but more for safety. lol.

And like the reason this thread got started. You can not get the same power the stillen stage1-2-3-4 produces with just bolt ons period.

wow have you seen any turbo dyno sheets? the stillen gets KILLED by turbos at 4-5k and almost definetly up top too.
stage 3-4 I don't think NA can match very well. Stage 1-2 it's possible. I KNOW it's possible for stage 1.
My NA car had
Injen sp1986p CAI
350 EVO throttle body
kinetix SSV
JWT cams
Crawford headers
Crawford cats
JIC Y-pipe
nismo exhaust
UR pulley
tilton clutch
light wheels
light lug nuts
stoptech aerorotors
3.9 final drive
etc etc - too much crap
I've seen the stillen dyno at my shop. It was 27x whp - forgot exactly. I made 272whp on a dyno dynamics dyno
what possible reason do I have to care if my car made stillen power levels or not? I don't have that setup anymore. Just trying to relay the findings - as hard as they are to swallow or not...
and 4k rpms is midrange - not high. It's straight up on the tach

Also that stillen had headers....exhaust too (maybe not sure)
I never denied the stillen gets killed above 4-5k. Your saying that not me. I said VS VORTECH. Now you are on just a rampage spewing anything out. We all know the Stillen isn't strong above 5k really.
Stage 1 I seriously doubt its possible. I like to see dynos proving this. Because we all know bolt ons don't really help this car that much.
Two different dynos. On a dynojet you would have dynoed up to 15 hp less than a DynoPAK which you dynoed on.
This is why you dyno to compare on the same type of dyno, same day same conditions.

That doesn't show where I said Fuel adds power. lol keep trying.
ECU Tuning always adds power. Sure, but the Stillen kit comes pre-tuned for obvious safety reasons. If you actually tuned the Stillen you would get a bit more power.

ok man, sit down
my car at my shop (dynocomp) did a 272.2whp
they also dynoed a stillen car a little while after i did and it made pretty much the same power
same dyno, same dyno operator/tuner
here's their phone number 480-596-0500. Ask if they've ever had a NA Z put out as much power as a stillen 350Z. Ask for Rich or Jon
You really think I have a database of every dynograph the shop has in their computer? They didn't print it out for me to put it up online for you to see or anything. I only have my dynosheet

We can what if all day bud.

Thank you. That was my point. Stage 1/2 not worth it. For a lot less you can make almost much power.
