Generally speaking, people shy away from adding forced induction to a NA high mileage engine. If you want to go through with it anyway without a rebuild, then definitely check your compression first. Make sure the engine is still healthy, not burning a lot of oil and has solid compression figures on all cylinders. And as always when boosting a naturally aspirated engine, be ready and able to deal with a blown engine (have enough money for a rebuild/replacement engine install, and another form of transportation in case things go boom)

I was looking at this G37 coupe that has been supercharged do you think its a good buy or bad..
2008 Infiniti G37 Sport for sale in Sacramento, CA | Stock #: 1120

Honestly that's a really good deal, i just bought a 08 with 105,000 miles on it for $11,500 and im going to supercharge mine next year. Im adding other mods to supplement the supercharger for now. But back to the 08 you want to purchase go buy that baby asap dont think twice about it. Make sure everything checks out carfax, how many vehicles owners maintenance etc etc. Supercharger go for $6500 plus install so u do the math/$$$ ur gonna save. Great deal my friend fyi go go go.

The supercharger kit does not usually come perfect in stock form. There was a problem with the throttle body sensor extension cables for example, which I am currently experiencing, so you will have to buy a new cable once the current one acts up. I guess what I am saying is plan to spend some money to fix the problems that caused the previous owner to trade this in That is what I am dealing with right now, after buying a used car with the Stillen Supercharger kit on it.

Edit: Also to give you an idea, I bought my 2012 G37 Journey Sedan with 58K miles on it, plus SC kit for $15,700 plus sales tax. I think that was a pretty smoking deal, and it left me room in the budget for fixing issues. I personally would not buy a used supercharged G with 112k+ miles without an extensive set of inspections (engine health, compression check etc)

i got a 2010 g37s with a new longblock, tranny and installed the stillen sc kit at the same time. after a year been having the p1239 throttle code replaced throttle bodies and harness kit still having the same problem. its getting annoying anyone have an idea?
i went from uprev to ecutek as well same problems.

Mad A

Oh man, I have the same issue and just ordered the new extension cable/harness. You have the new one, right? If so then that sucks, as I had heard that would solve the problem.

Hey guys sorry to ask I swear I've been making a dent on reading this whole thread...
what is the issue with fitment between the stillen kit for the 370z and g37? I've been prowling the used market especially now that I want the air-air and most of the superchargers are off a 370z, so what fitment issues will I run into?

Ihtbealexxx

My car is actually in the middle of an install right now using a kit for a NISMO 370z. I had the shop figure out the logistics for the conversion for me. Can't remember everything off hand, but I DO know that I needed about $300 worth of brackets to make sure the kit fit on my car. Stillen said the fuel pump for the kit wouldn't fit, but I needed a new one from them regardless since the original owner kept the pump for his TT setup.

RickyBobby

Thank you, the numbers are good to know considering I would also have to factor in flying, the parts, etc if buying used. I'll be compression testing my motor on Monday to make sure it's in good shape for boost. I really want to do the air-air conversion so I wonder if Stillen will let me buy their kit without the intercooler..

so when you say valve body upgrade is that the transgo kit or is it something else? I have that and it's getting installed in a week

milkcow500

When people mention valve body, I automatically think they are talking about the 7at. Transgo only made a valve body upgrade for the 5at.

So to make things easier, they are the same thing for different transmissions.

Level Ten Valve Body = 7AT
Transgo Valve Body = 5AT

Hey guys, looking to get the Stillen SC kit for my AWD Q60. Sorry if this is going off-rails for the thread title, but seems all of the experts are in here. Have a few questions I am looking for help with:

Regarding the FrozenBoost IC, WAT001026 is the correct P/N, yeah?

Also, those of you who have installed this WA-IC, and turned the bumper beam upside-down, the tow hook nub ends up on top of the beam. So...is the tow nub now visible behind the grille? Curious because I was contemplating getting the VIS Zelda grille for my Q60 with the grille material that matches the OEM lower grille, and if that tow nub is visible behind the Zelda grill I may be able to make the tow hook usable again after flipping the bumper beam?

Are the latest 2018 Stillen canned tunes pretty good now? I saw some more recent posts saying there has been big improvements in canned tunes a few years ago



Thanks guys!
