Well I'm pretty well sold on the stillen supercharger. I'm going to need a better fuel pump now right from what I understand? and are there some other things I can bolster to add to the longevity of the car..injectors..spark plugs ? (already have the coolers...engine cooler is a 25 too) I don't want to burn out a bunch of parts lol so any tips and recommendations to make sure this is a mod to last will be great!!

 

Please DON'T invest in forced induction without fully understanding everything involved. Fuel system/Tune are very important and the smallest mistake will send your engine to VQ Heaven. Fuel pumps, injectors and an upgraded fuel system in general is not something to "boost the longevity" of the car, but rather to make it work.

 

Listen to sam. Def understand what you are getting yourself into. I like to have a good suspension setup before I mess around with power. Power without an ability to control it properly leads to bad times.
-look into better tires
-maybe brakes, do you have akebonos?
-gauges
-up the tranny...depending on your power goals, if you are just shooting for a mild build then you should be ok.
-heat will maybe an issue, but since you already have various coolers your good to go there. Maybe up the radiator?
-heh, with you being in cali CARB and emissions might bite you in the bum. So think about that. Is the supercharger CARB legal?

Keep in mind this is just my opinion. do as you and your builder/tuner sees fit.

 

I am ordering the Ark Coilover system, eibach sway bars, AP Racing Brake Kit(Most likely) Most likely the Enkei RPF1 wheels and a set of Pilot Super Sports, and it's the stillen supercharger kit which is 50 state legal. CARB is no problem. I also contacted a place called euroboutique to inquire about a custom display cluster. The fuel system is what I wanted to know mostly and if there were any other recommendations.

 

Below is from Stillen regarding your fuel question.

"To handle the fuel management for the supercharger system STILLEN has gone directly to the ECU. By changing out to larger injectors and fuel pump (supplied in complete kit) STILLEN is able to take control of the factory ECU and re-map it for the boosted application. This tuning method is handled via reflash using the UPrev software tuned by STILLEN engineers."

Trying to do all this on my phone is a pain...

 

Lmao I have been to that page a million times and I have missed that line everytime XD....well that answer the fuel question lol thanks Byrd

 

Well hell I missed the CARB shiz so it's ok lol

 

The Stillen kit includes an upgraded fuel pump and new injectors. I've personally seen the kit in action and it's a very well developed kit. My local dealership has installed over 20 kits and the two master techs love installing the kit because of how easy it is. A lot of time and engineering were put into the design of the Stillen kit. I will be moving on a new one later this year.

 

That's good to know that it has a good reputation. It's alot of extra power so I just wanted to make sure I don't toast my car lol the fact that the dealerships have such faith in it says alot

And yah Byrd after looking at all the different F/I kits it's all become a blur haha
