Can people post what they paid for their SC on the Max's? Make sure you specify with or without install.

Also, has anyone ever setup a group buy for these here? I was looking through a thread that asked about the Camry vs. Maxima and it got me curious. So I did some research on TRD and www.camryman.org. They just ended a group buy for a TRD SuperCharger for the 3.0 V6 Camry. The MSRP was $3374 and the group buy as between $2150 to $2250 depending on the whether it was a Solara or Camry. They ended up getting 21 people to do that group buy.

LucentAUTO

hmm how many of you are interested?

stillen sells it for $4000 now they raise the price again.
maybe well work something out.
3400 is a pretty good price

$4000? Geez...that's expensive. And that's not including install. I'm guessing the supercharger with install, plus a few guages, maybe $5000? Wow. I just wish we have an alternative to Stillen. If only Jackson Racing would make a supercharger for us.

LucentAUTO

4k from stillen is way too much, unless you are really into racing. at least it makes the car alot faster.

Stillen has a Maxima day coming up in June... I was thinking of driving there with another Maxima buddy... (about 7-8 hours drive probably if we take it easy.) Maybe I can ask them directly...

what can make the s/c cost so much more than the one from trd for the camry/solara/sienna? oh well... if it was that price, you'd see it on my car already

I was thinking of getting a supercharger, but with Stealin, the price keeps going up. I'm not so sure now. Nitrous looks like a better route to go. Darn Stillen, the supercharger was already expensive as it was. Now, with the price increase, it's insane.

Were do you guys get your info?

I bought my SC 2 months ago and paid $3300 for it+ I opted for a Blitz BOV{Super sound one} which cost me a addition $149. The install was free did not cost me a single penny{Just 40 grueling hours and a pint of blood}.

About having a Group deal, it is not possible for multiple reasons which I am not going to get into. I tried setting up a group deal and Stillen said no way, it's not possible, so I asked what if me and a friend order a SC at the same time, Stillen said they could drop the price down to $3250 per kit, but that was the best deal possible. BTW you probably won't get a deal as good as mine{$3300}, I only got that price becuase I am really cool with my salesman Dean{really cool guy}.

Happy boosting!!

need4speed

what stillen needs is competition.
what if we got 21 buyers to petition
another potential sc maker?

Not a bad idea!! I'll let my car be the prototype! Paxton makes virtually the same unit as Vortechs V1. I forgot what it was called though.

I got a quote from Stillen on Wednesday. The quote is good for 7 days...$3350 and in stock.

The quote will be good for a lot longer then 7 days, they just say that mumbo jumbo to get you to buy it ASAP.

LucentAUTO

3300$ is really good price. as far as group deals, that's possible, especially when u are talking about spending 33k. stillen will probably give you guyz a good price, if more than 3 people buy it. Ill help if enough people want it.
actually stillen do have competition, wolf just made a new turbo charger, but its not as fast as stillen's claimed be to 5.7 compare to stillen's 5.3 and cost around the same.

need4speed

I'm in, so let's call Wolf. Anybody know
someone there? I think a supercharger is
easier to install / less complex, but a v6
with good a bottom end would do better with
a turbo to help at the top range.

....and then there's those poor sorry souls of us who must register our cars in california...

meaning, we need CARB certification as it's a pain in the butt to remove the SC every other year to do a smog check

not to be a complainer, but most smog check places around me make me remove my jwt intake and put back in my stock ari box before I smog... good thing that's only a 30 minute job (15 minutes to find where i put the darn thing!)

i've heard jwt was working on a turbo since i talked to them back in '96/97... however, i don't think they've proceeded too far since then... jwt makes good products, but I hope that they'll CARB certify this one if they decide to sell it...

even though the output isn't as much as say a $3300 SC, I'd say a $2000-$2500 non-intercooled turbo kit would be a hot seller as the max has decent bottom end and and just seems to gasp on the top...

they should be able to sell the turbo for less. as reference, on a '91 Miata, Greddy sells a turbo kit for it for around $1800 and some places can get it for around $1200-$1400. this is for the complete kit including manifold, turbo, etc... then there's the jackson racing/sebring SC kit that runs around $2300. both push similar psi and both are non-intercooled and both are CARB certified for smog checks.

LucentAuto... just as a ball park, what kind pricing do you think you could do for the SC if there's like 10 takers?

-V

LucentAUTO

10 takers? wow thats alot of investment.

lol we ll see all these supercharged max on the street burning bmw's and benz.

sorry i haven called stillen for long time. our primary business is not selling stillen parts, but wholesales on other car parts that we import.

ill definitly call them soon and ask for the price and all that. BUt what I need a way to transfer the money, since im not a retail. its hard to accept money from retail customers. Ill try my best, if anyone can help me with how to use paypal, that would be great.
There are still a few problems that need to be resolved. Ill let u guyz know.

Got my SC used. Price was $1800 just for the kit. I did have to get a new fuel pump which costed around $250. Installed with the tranny cooler and VB upgrade- the total cost came out to around $3200. Not bad for more power. That is the best way to go- get them used.

I'd much prefer a turbo...JWT says they can do it, but they don't have any mass-marketed kits available ATM.

Phil02E46

not to ruin anyone's fun.. but JWT has been saying they have a turbo kit for the max since the 4th gen was released.. have fun waiting.. if you want turbo get a custom one..

Sprint

iTrader: (10)

yah they got a turbo kit.. ask them how much it cost.. umm.. somewhere in the 5 figure range?

vmok

like 4-5 years ago, they said if they did sell, it'd be like $6000-$8000 i think.... ouch. i didn't think about it any more after that

How much is the dual exhaust going to cost you and where are you purchasing it from? Nice Ride....

iTrader: (25)

hey Vmok

both the Miata kit and Jackson racing kit are simplier and prolly cheaper to design. Although i dont doubt that cuase its Stillen they up the price. the TRD kits are priced pretty good and their quality/fitment is good. those kits are simplier plus there are no fuel upgrades needed so that makes the kit cheaper...maybe someday another manufacter will make a roots/eaton blower for the Max, that might drive Stillen prices down a bit.

When it's all said and done about $750. I don't think I am going to do the dual exaust anymore though because I have to really get my act together and that means no more mods for a while, if ever.
