called stillen re: 2k2 supercharger and y pipe.....

Just got off the phone with stillen and I was told there will be no supercharger for the 2k2. They do however plan to have a y pipe avaliable within 2 months.

It's probably because the kit would be too complicated (read Hogan and Jeff's idea about having a Civic SI-type setup) and if the 2003's are different then it's not worth producing the kit for such a small group of performance-oriented people.

You can always go with rice juice (nitrous).

does anyone else think that is odd considering how much use the VQ35 is going to have in the nissan market, or am i ignorant in not knowing that the same S/C would not be able to be used on the same engine in a different car (max S/C in a Z)?

if it could be used in the other nissans/infinitis using the VQ35, i find it really strange that stillen would not be making a S/C

Clarify that it is a y-pipe...they may mean a small "b" type pipe or something else...They told me a HF Intake was a CAI when I was more ignorant than I am now.

Maybe it won't fit in the engine compartment of the 2K2. I hear it is tight in there with the new variable timing thingamajig.

A cali-spec Y-Pipe may very well fit on a 2002. If you look at my thread which I posted yesterday you will see the ideas we disscused.

Rice juice gives LOTS of torque and I respect it (I'm not putting it down in any way). I would even use a small 30 shot to get some of my torque back.
