Stillen supercharger
I just purchased a 2014 Q60 coupe and have been told if I FA it I will blow my engine? Is there any truth to this? Not looking to go big just a Stillen supercharger. Planning on having the car a long time. I put 140,000 miles on my G37. Looking for a little more power for the new one. Pretty much did everything I could to my last one but FA. Any advice would be appreciated.

its all in the cooling and tuning...

Find an installer/tuner with a solid reputation. You are close to Stillen, I'd go there directly.

Thanks for your reply. With having a 6mt would have clutch problems with the added HP?

You're limiting yourself with the Stillen setup. I would go TT.
The clutch system in the infiniti is the Achilles heel and is the worse system. Either the slave or the master will go fast. Before you FA I would suggest you get a better clutch and upgrade to the HD CSC and stainless lines. |

While it is true the STILLEN Kit is not the ultimate in power, a lot of people chose the kit because of its proven reliability. Based on the OP's post, his goal is power with longevity, not ultimate power. |

It is true the weakest link in the system is the Concentric Slave Cylinder, not the actual clutch. There are upgrades available, but it is something to consider.

IMO, turbos are better/more efficient. they use exhaust gases to operate the turbo. superchargers run off of your engine pulleys thus putting more strain on the engine at one point or another. also turbos are WAY more easy to tune. My buddies S4 has constant pulley and belt problems. |

Looking for a little more .... the cost of the kit.. install and maintenance is substantially higher with a TT.. |

@ stillen staff members
Hi all,
I am new here but in a similar situation. I bought a 2011 Stillen Supercharged G37s and blew the motor after a few months of owning it. The previous owner sold it to me with 58k miles, and it barely had 60k, and blew already. Just purchased a 2012 long block off ebay with 25k miles for $2,000. I am going to have it installed this week or next. Then going to have it re-tuned as well. What steps should I do as to ensure that I do not have a second blown motor on my hands? Please keep in mind, I purchased this car, and all the work was done by the previous owner. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Chris |
