Probably first STILLEN VQ37 SC install in Russia

By the first I should say that I'm reading this forum for about 8 months and it is very helpful to me!

I've found that STILLEN SC is the only choice for AWD car owners. So, there was no choice for me
I know about Weiboy's issues with this SC but I hope to be more lucky

Also I've found at least one advantage of STILLEN kit - you shouldn't do anything with windshield washer tank.
It's very important to have a big windshield washer tank here, because our roads are not clean enough....

STLLEN staff was helpful and informative during the order process. The speed of their email answers are really incredible...
I've received boxes with my kit on Feb 08. In the same day I've dumped my ECU and sent this dump to STILLEN.
They prepared a tune for me on Feb 10.

Unfortunately, during my researches on the compatibility of the STILLEN kit parts and my car I've found that cooling system for european vehicles is different from US vehicles.
So, STILLEN coolant overflow bottle relocation kit isn't compatible with my car. Actually, my car is equipped with coolant tank instead of coolant overflow bottle. This coolant tank is under pressure.
The only way to go for me is to relocate my stock tank. Fortunately, I've found good place for relocation and was able to purchase all required brackets and hoses.

At this moment STILLEN kit looks well engineered and perfectly manufactured. But it's my impression before installation and usage...

Finally, I'm ready for installation now
Installation will be started on Feb 15 04:00 EST.
If you are interested, you'll be able to see live video and online photo-blog of the installation here - G37x.net

Congrats on the purchase. Keep us in formed. That is intresting that they have the tanks under pressure. I wonder why they did that. Is it some sort of law?


Also a side note, You do lose the full capacity of the stock tank but you can use the one supplied by GTM and it will fit or get a custom made one that will have enough room in the air intake area. Just incase anyone wanted to know.
