This is in a closed bay so it's not this loud on the street.

Edit: a few more clips of start-up and idle at the bottom.

Pretty cool

Very nice. Do you have the pic of the graph also?

 

Very Nice!!! What Kinda Numbers?

 

ahaha! nice! what gear is that 3rd? ur motor seems real secure on the let go!

 

That was 5th gear.
The Stillen damper seems to help keep it in place quite well.

 

It was 92 degrees in the bay and I discovered my IC tank was almost empty on the last pull so don't hate too much.

First time: 323HP/ 306TQ

We put ice in the tank and ran it again after it had made 3 runs and was heat soaked and made 13HP more but I left the print out there. Final numbers are in the expected range 340/315.

A N/A 350Z came in after me with a 5/16 spacer, HKS Exhaust, and Pop Charger and made 241/232 so I know the numbers are low from the heat.


Good news is it made 280-310ft-lbs @1800rpm and stayed pretty flat until over 6k with the limit at 6500. Very linear band. The average (not peak) HP/TQ is up there with most of the tuned Vortech's and it's way more fun on the street (IMO).

 

no hating here but dayUM i was expecting some 400+ numbers!? still hot over there in texas huh its in the 50's down here

 

No Texas, I'm in Phoenix, AZ. It was in the mid-high 80's here this weekend.

400whp is not possible with the Stillen kit. The blower is great for low-end power and great average power but you will never see 400 without getting a better, larger blower.

 

So, you'd say it's good for a reliable hp gain in a daily driver? What octane are you running? Phoenix is nice, the in-laws live there, and I got to take an S2000 for some spirited driving. Nice, flat roads, sunny skies.

 

Yes, it is a lot of power and very reliable. I was running Shell 91. Phoenix is awesome this time of year.
The numbers don't seem like much compared to the other kits but that only tells half the story. Peak numbers are great for bragging rights but not always for daily drivers like my car.

It comes down to three options: (1) Spend a ton on a TT kit and you are good to go, (2) Spend a lot less and still have reliable, useable power without revving the crap out of it all the time or (3) getting higher peak numbers and giving up half your power band in lag.

If you drive/race mostly on the freeway the ST/Centrifugal kits are awesome because you are up in that rpm range anyway. Off the line they are not for me and I do a lot of stop-and-go driving. It's a personal choice for what you want a how you drive. I rode in both before getting this kit and have never regretted it.

Please don't turn this into another Stillen vs Vortech thread. If people want to argue lets go do it somewhere else. This is just to show those who have never heard one what a roots blower on a VQ sounds like.

 

^^+1 Awesome. Sounds great. I am a fan of your car, now if I could have just gotten my hands on that grille...

 

awesome sound Tim...you sure its worth ditching it for a TT???

 

Gotta love that sound!!

 

No, still not 100% sure.
Want to go big but need a bigger paycheck to get there.

 

love the sound man, just wait until you hear the BOV on your new TT should you go that direction
