Nice choice... I know the car well as we actually have a red one on the family. A few mods on it and it is ridiculously fast. And it actually has a trunk that you can put golf clubs in LOL. Imagine that... a practical super car.

 

I actually had a bit of a challenge getting an "A" pillar gauge pod for the G37. I had to have one custom made, but am ultimately happy with the look. I went with Innovate gauges... AFR and Boost.

 

Nice look man those are good gauges.

 

Thanks... I was really happy with how it all came together. I have seen some really ghetto installations of gauges. The setup of the gauges was a pain as they give you a serial computer connection. No one uses serial anymore as the standard is now USB... so I had to buy a special adapter cable. Still gave me error messages I had to contact Innovate on facebook and they told me that I also needed special drivers installed to make the stupid adapter cable work. Of course none of this is on the instruction manual.

 

Just a follow up to let you know that I got the Frozen Boost intercooler installed. It is a night and day difference in performance. The Stillen supplied intercooler is way too small and is poorly placed for any real cooling. Most of the Stillen kit is high quality but they really dropped the ball in the design of the intercooler. Don't lose HP to heat soak... this is an easy and inexpensive mod. One that we wouldn't have to do if Stillen wasn't cheap in the selection of this important component.

 

Told you man! Best mod for this kit

 

For those of oyu guys running the Frozen Boost heat exchanger, is the Stillen-supplied bilge pump sufficient to circulate the water through the larger heat exchanger? Or did you upgrade the pump too?

 

yesterday was hot (30C) and the car performed flawlessly... seemed to have more power than before. Thanks again for this tip. Anyone who doesn't do this upgrade is leaving a lot of HP on the table.

 

Humm... I never even thought of that. What I did do is pressurize the system with the ignition on and opened the valve in the bottom of the FB intercooler to get the air out of the system and it had no problem sending a spray of fluid all over my garage floor.

 

Well if it can't keep up it'll break and you can just replace it with a better one!

 

I was looking into the SVT mustang pump before I had my problems. Might wanna look at is just to see, I was also looking onto a larger reservoir for the SC too

 

Yeah, that's my thought too. The Stillen-supplied water tank is really small. So circulating more water through the heat exchanger, either by pumping it at a higher rate, or just having a larger tank with more capacity, would help. But I have no idea about the pump that comes with the kit, so no idea if the SVT pump would flow more or less.

I just placed an order for a supercharger, I'll keep this thread updated with how it goes. I have a bunch of mods for the safety of the motor, not power, so we'll see how she likes it. More than likely, it'll make fairly healthy power just because there is so much emphasis on thermal control. But in my case the final output number is secondary to the longevity of the motor.

 

Anyone having issues with cold startup? seems to start up when warm, but cold I have to push gas alittle to get it started. I had it dyno tuned, so concerned what it could be

 

Circling back to the original topic a bit, who still has their Stillen kit? How long/how many miles? Are you running the stillen tune or a custom tune? Any major issues?

 

The cold start fuel table , ask your tuner about it. I had a "hot" start issue. Mine was using the cold fuel table when he car was hot and would flood out :/
