After
more
than
a
year
of
development
and
testing,
we
are
proud
to
announce
the
release
of
the
STILLEN
supercharger
for
the
VQ37
engine.
As
with
all
R&D
at
STILLEN,
we
assessed
our
ultimate
goals
and
priorities
during
the
development
phase
as
we
planned
this
supercharger
kit.
Some
of
the
most
important
factors
to
the
development
team
were
hood
clearance,
expanding
power
later
on,
CARB
legality,
air
to
water
intercooler,
reliability,
and
obviously
performance.
We
feel
that
we
have
met
or
exceeded
each
of
our
goals.
When
looking
at
different
forms
of
forced
induction
the
engineering
team
and
Steve
Millen
decided
that
the
best
choice
would
be
the
Vortech
centrifugal
supercharger.
We
have
partnered
with
Vortech
in
the
past
on
vehicles
like
the
Nissan
Maxima
and
Pathfinder,
Mercedes
CLK430
and
others.
One
of
the
great
things
about
the
Vortech
supercharger
is
the
ease
of
installation
as
well
as
the
ability
to
easily
add
more
boost
and
increase
power.
The
engineers
at
STILLEN
also
wanted
a
supercharger
system
that
offered
little
to
no
maintenance
needs
so
the
ultimate
decision
was
made
for
the
V-3
series
supercharger.
The
Vortech
V-3
series
supercharger
uses
a
self-contained
lubrication
system.
That
means
no
need
for
running
additional
lines
from
the
oil
pan
or
separate
coolers.
Simply
bolt
on
the
blower
and
you're
good
to
go.
Oil
changes
are
very
easy
with
the
drain
tube
located
on
the
bottom
of
the
blower
and
the
fill
tube
located
on
top.
Changing
the
oil
in
the
supercharger
itself
is
a
quick
ten
minute
job.
One
of
the
most
important
aspects
of
supercharging
is
also
cooling.
Superchargers
build
a
lot
of
heat
during
the
compression
process
so
the
air
needs
to
be
cooled
back
down
before
entering
the
engine
for
maximum
performance.
To
do
this
we
have
incorporated
a
cast
aluminum
intake
manifold
which
houses
an
air-to-water
intercooler.
During
our
testing
we
saw
temperature
drops
of
over
100
degrees
of
heat
after
the
intercooler
immediately
before
the
air
enters
the
engine.
Air-to-water
intercoolers
have
been
proven
to
be
the
most
efficient
intercoolers
available.
The
intercooler
system
uses
its
own
separate
coolant
path
that
does
not
get
routed
in
with
the
engine
coolant.
An
added
benefit
to
the
air-to-water
intercooler
design
is
that
the
heat
exchanger
(mounted
in
front
of
the
radiator
to
cool
the
coolant)
is
very
thin.
The
Nissan
370Z
has
already
shown
that
these
engines
have
an
issue
with
overheating.
To
reduce
the
risk
of
overheating
we
have
strategically
placed
the
heat
exchanger
and
intakes
to
ensure
that
we
have
sufficient
air
flow
to
all
of
the
vital
components
and
additional
coolers
without
impeding
airflow
to
the
radiator.
Airflow
was
another
major
consideration
for
the
supercharger
system.
Because
even
stock
370Z's
are
seeing
increased
oil
temperatures
in
just
a
few
laps
around
a
race
course,
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
the
heat
exchanger
and
intakes
did
not
interfere
with
our
other
coolers.
We
are
very
excited
to
confirm
that
the
STILLEN
race
oil
cooler,
automatic
transmission
cooler,
and
power
steering
cooler
all
fit
perfectly
together.
To
bring
the
air
into
the
intake
path
we
have
chosen
to
go
with
a
Y-pipe
designed
cast
aluminum
intake
tube
that
relocate
the
MAF
sensors,
retaining
a
"draw
through"
configuration.
This
means
that
the
MAF
sensor
are
located
in
front
of
the
forced
induction
device
to
get
an
accurate
reading
of
air
volume.
We
chose
to
do
this
because
this
is
what
NISSAN
recommends.
During
our
many
years
of
building
superchargers
for
NISSAN
vehicles
as
well
as
our
great
working
relationship
with
NISSAN
we
have
learned
that
the
MAF
sensor
that
NISSAN
uses
is
not
designed
to
be
"blown
through"
or
post
forced
induction.
Example
of
this
are
the
two
NISSAN
vehicles
that
use
forced
induction
from
the
factory.
The
NISSAN
GT-R
and
the
300ZX.
Both
cars
use
a
draw
through
MAF
sensor
setup.
At
the
end
of
the
day,
the
most
important
aspect
of
any
forced
induction
system
is
"Performance".
Performance
is
more
than
dyno
numbers
or
horsepower
claims.
Performance
means,
how
does
it
"perform"
at
a
race
track?
How
does
it
"perform"
in
daily
driving
conditions?
These
questions
had
to
be
answered
during
our
testing
so
we
went
to
El
Toro
air
force
base
with
our
auto
gearbox
Infiniti
G37.
This
car
was
equipped
with
our
race
oil
cooler
and
auto
trans
cooler.
This
days
testing
consisted
of
multiple
0-140mph
runs..
Hard
driving
on
a
very
tight
course
with
excessive
revving
and
redlining.
Then
we
parked
the
car
for
five
minutes
to
let
everything
heatsoak
and
get
really
warm
then
immediately
ran
another
series
of
0-140
mph
runs.
We
could
not
be
happier
with
the
way
the
car
was
able
to
handle
these
extreme
tests.
During
those
tests
we
had
numerous
data
logging
devices
inside
the
car
keeping
track
of
a
number
of
different
data
points.
