Congrats on the SC.

I have a few questions:
----------------------------
1)Are you planning on running the 10-lbs boost pulley? If so, what do you need to run that much boost? New fuel pump, fuel-pressure riser/regulator, ect....

2)Where does the intake side of the SC tube terminate? I've seen pics of some setups with the filter on the SC and some like yours crossing the engine bay. Why would the intake tube cross the engine bay? Couldn't you just drop a CAI tube through the fender near the SC?

3)How much for your PR CAI you removed?

4)Where does the SC get oil from for cooling the bearings?

5)How loud is the V2 SC? Is it a sleeper or is it noticeable from other vechicles?

6)When are you going to dyno?

 

Thanks! I'll put the answers under your questions.

1)Are you planning on running the 10-lbs boost pulley? If so, what do you need to run that much boost? New fuel pump, fuel-pressure riser/regulator, ect....
I am currently running the 10 lbs pulley. Since you're a manual, I recommend upgrading your clutch. The supercharger kit will include a fuel pump and fuel management unit, so you don't have to worry about fuel..... yet.

2)Where does the intake side of the SC tube terminate? I've seen pics of some setups with the filter on the SC and some like yours crossing the engine bay. Why would the intake tube cross the engine bay? Couldn't you just drop a CAI tube through the fender near the SC?
The SC tube terminates near the tranny. You see 2 black tubes on top the engine? The upper one is the intake tube that goes to the inlet of the sc. You can't make a custom CAI without redoing all the piping because retarded Stillen put the MAF *BEFORE* the BOV. This is why a lot of 5 speed owners experience stalling.

3)How much for your PR CAI you removed?
Sorry, not selling because I might use it for my intercooler.

4)Where does the SC get oil from for cooling the bearings?
The kit comes with a tee that goes where the oil pressure is. The SS line routes straight to a tee in the sc itself. The oil drains back via the drain-back hose on the bottom of the sc.

5)How loud is the V2 SC? Is it a sleeper or is it noticeable from other vechicles?
Not loud at all. If you didn't know I had the sc, then hehehehe. There is a slight whine, but it can pass as a loose belt.

6)When are you going to dyno?
Not yet, but I'm estimating somewhere in the 270-300 whp range.

 

please don't blow ur tranny....with ur newly found power...

 

Hehehe..... will a 2k2 6 speed work? Thanks for the concern.

 

I think Kev's car should be in the next f&f
man sounds good.
I miss my vicki.
Last I heard my mom drove it somewhere
that means she left makeup on spots where there should be no makeup.
oh well

 

I'll estimate around 250-260 whp. Stillen got 275 with a "tuned factory ECU" and 6psi pulley. Plus, I feel they optimized conditions to produce the BEST numbers possible. That's why they claim the spike right at redline, instead of the 275 peak they actually put-down.

It would be AWESOME if you dynoed the 6psi vs. 10psi pulleys!

BADD A$$ car!!!!!!!!!!

 

doh! u know i'm just jealous....

 

Nah, they'll probably destroy my car with those unskilled drivers. So when are you going to run 120 shots? Hehehe

250-260? Hmmmm..... DMan dynoed his at 250 whp (auto) with only the sc. Jane's car dynoed at about 230 whp (auto with Greddy). I'm assuming I'll be around the 250 range with the y, cat, and muffler (Cali-spec always produces lower numbers). So, if I'm running 10 lbs, that's 4 lbs over the stock pulley. For each lbs, it's about 15 hps (crank). So take into account my car's an auto, that's 4 * 11 whp = 44 whp.

250 + 44 = 294 whp, and that's being optimistic. Hehehe

Stillen actually got 300+ whp.

 

Wouldn't it be nice if it did work? Imagine how much whp's I'll be regaining with the conversion.

 

FEAR AUTOMAGICS

 

alright...let's be realistic here...

at the maxima day,
Stillen Maxima:

5 speed
Stillen Flywheel
V2 supercharger
y-pipe
stillen muffler
302 to the wheels

Kev's Maxima
Auto
V2 supercharger
y-pipe
stillen muffler
15% drive train loss from 302 hps=around 250 to 260 to the wheels...

you know what? you are right, Kev!!

 

More like 25% loss , but the 250 whp should be with the stock 6 psi pulley.

 

don't worry...u'll still whoop my *** in ur car...should've raced u when u were down here...

 

Are you sure? What if I'm just another rice boy that can't drive worth crap? I'll be sitting there spinning in the same spot while you're half a block away.

 

but u have automagic.....

 

Ahhhhh yes... the magic. Are you coming up the the Bay Area anytime soon?

 

Hey Kev, you have to enter it in HIN!!! Put those Hondas to shame w/ your bad boy...and I prefer to call it "Automanic".

 

Hey Kev, what PSI are you running at? and with what pulley is it with the 3.25 or the 3.60? thanks

 

Your runing 10psi without more fuel? Is that safe? Would it be safe to run 8psi with the kit. What size pully runs 8psi?

 

I believe the 3.33 is the pulley that is near the 8 PSI range. stock pulley is 3.60 = ~5-6 PSI, next is 3.48 = ~6-7
3.33 = ~8-9, then 3.33 = ~ 9-10. This is a rough estimate of the #'s, please correct me if I am wrong.

 

Maybe...

There is another pump and fuel management unit, so I'm still safe unless I go with a smaller pulley (more boost).

You're running 2 psi, right Adam? What did you dyno at?



My 4DSC: I have your stock pulley dyno (246 whp and 218 torque and no boost gauge), but what were your numbers with the 3.25 pulley (running 7 psi)?


BTW, I'm running around 6 psi's, but I still have that hesitation problem from the UDP installation.

 

Well at 2PSI from my stock pulley (3.60) I ran an 246 HP and 236 TQ (somewhere in that range).

Now Kev if you have a 3.25 pulley and you are running 6 PSI, I think that is just as bad as I am.

My opinion has been that on the 2K we show less boost, b/c adam was only showing 7.5 PSI, and using a 3.25 pulley we should see 10 PSI load. So I think its just normal on the 2K V2 S/C. So kev, when you expecting to dyno?

 

Are you guys saying the stock pully only runs 2 psi not the 6psi. If so what size pully do you recomend runing. Alos Kev are you saying your runing 10 with the fuel pump that comes with the kit or anther in addition to it? Or just anther fuel pump all together.

 

With the stock Pulley I am running 2PSI, 4 DSC (adam) did not have a boost gauge when he had the stock pulley on so we don't know what he was running. When adam went to the 3.25 pulley he rcvd 7.5 PSI. I have not changed pulleys so I don't know what I will get with a 3.25 pulley but I assume it would be around the 7.5 PSI. Now that Kev has the SC I think he is running the 3.25 pulley and is getting 6 PSI. The only other 5th gen SC max is Diedrek in Dallas, he has an auto, but I am not sure what PSI he is runnig with the stock 3.60 pulley.

 

I'd bet the belts are slipping or to tight. Just a thought.

Did the Stillen SC come with a "fuel management" computer or is that something you purchase in addition to the smaller pulley?

Are you going to drop in a Quaife differential so you can put that POWER to the ground or are you going to be happy with the single-wheel burnout? J/K. Just adding something more for your wish list, since you've about got EVERYTHING now.

 

Why would the stock stillen pully that comes with the kit only run 2psi ??? Since it's advertised at 6psi??? With the stock pully are you getting the power you should be??? Ive never s/ced one of my own cars before and havn't put my sc on yet so i'm very curious about this. Am I gonna have to get anther pully? Can't you tell what boost you run when you hook it up without putting the gauge in the car. Ie useing the gauge just not mounting it in the car just hooking it up then unhooking it? Man this 2 psi thing bothers me

 

My 4DSC got almost the same numbers as you did with his stock pulley. Do you think we're getting pressure drop because of the piping of the 2k V2 kits? You guys have 5 speeds and dynoed at 246 while Diederik is an auto (250).

Let me fix the hesitation problem first... I have a feeling my car is not running at its full potential (181 whp when N/A).


I wouldn't recommend changing the pulley if you're not sure what you're getting into. It's easy to say, "I want to run 10 psi" but you have to think about the other stuff you have to take into account like knowing a good reliable mechanic, strengthening the tranny, having extra $$$ in case something goes BOOM, etc.

I'm supposedly running 10 with the pump the V2 kit provides.


Nope, not the belts. I've had this hesitation problem every since the UDP. The error code the ECU throws is the Cam Position Sensor. The V2 kit came with a FMU (fuel management unit) that's vacuum/boost dependant. I'm planning on upgrading that to the Super FMU from Vortech.


Maybe there's pressure drop with all the piping in the V2 kit? I really don't know, but 2 psi putting out 246 whp is REALLY good. I suggest sticking with the stock pulley unless you know what you're doing/getting into. You can't tell what you're boosting at without a boost gauge.

 

ive got a reliable mechanic extra cash and am getting the vb mod plan to get the q. difirental. It's not that i want 10psi it's that 2 psi is so poopy. My teamate runs 16psi off his turbo in his talon I can't run 2psi next to him. Im not a speed freak but just want the 6psi promised for 3700. I'd get teh gauge but have no where to put them. I woun't put them in the pillar cuz that would efeect my sound stage. Maybe i can build them into my underhood painted glass work aroudn the batterys. That would be phaty. Or the glove box. For the most part they don't have to be in eye site rite?

 

Boost numbers don't matter... dyno numbers are the ones that count. The Quaiffe D is for manuals only, if I recall correctly. If you want LSD, you'll have to either get the I30t or Canadian SE tranny since you're an auto. You don't have to keep track of how much boost you're running because you can never overboost, but it's fun to watch.

 

If and when i change tranny's im gonna put the new 7 seiars 6speed auto in. when the engine goes im putting the 2k1 bmw m3 engine in with a blower. Don't that sound fun? That should be the ultimate sleeper max!

 

Why not do an AWD conversion and drop the RB26DETT motor in your Max?

 

Belive me my friend the awd or rwd will happen at some point i'll have a way to expensive maxima . O wait i already do. But i'll have a really custom one at one point
