Sending off a V3 to have it rebuilt with upgraded impeller and bearings, then running air to air intercooler. Hit a snag calling stillen--they wont sell me the mounting bracket assembly or manifold. Might plead again with them to reconsider at a later time but for the time being, has anyone here built a supercharger setup from ground up and has advice sourcing the brackets? Guess i can use stock manifold with custom piping but the bracket assembly issue has me nervous. Hoping somebody locally has theirs down during the winter and i can borrow theirs and get it to CNC but any other possible solutions?
Or maybe stillen would be more inclined to sell parts if we have group buy? Idk suggestions needed, hopefully i can have this all done and perfected by spring

And anyone happen to know the thickness of the stillen bracket? Saw vortech sells a 5/16" thick universal bracket mount but local guy who built a custom sc for his 35 says thats too thin and will flex too much (hes an engineer)

 

Have you poked around over on The370Z forum, I thought there was someone using the stock manifold. Try TopgunZ for the bracket info. I've been MIA for like 10 months sorry

 

Yep topZ is super busy but i'll hit him up about it at some point. My a2a setup is contingent on me getting the brackets and other details worked out so if i cant find a solution locally or via the web ill see if he can help.

 

stillen wont sell you anything unless you purchase the entire kit..
had an opportunity to pick up a low mileage kit for but with a broken bracket..
wont sell me the bracket.. and on top of that got a lecture from their sales rep about how buying a used set is ignorant..

 

Can't you just call Stillen and tell them you bought a car that had this installed but there's a problem and you need a replacement?

Instead of phrasing this like you're installing a used V3, make it sound like it's already on your vehicle and you need a fix.

Also, who are you talking to at Stillen and what their job title is. You may need to talk to someone else.

If you're getting nowhere, I would even reach out to them on social media, and say you have a broken part on their SC kit but Stillen refuses to sell you a replacement. Ask them what you should do.

 

Do you still need one? Looking to team up with a few ppl here, one with a built 370z sc, an engineer with a built 350, and my g37. Will try to reference more people here, and topgunz. If stillen wont sell theirs we'll do our best to make one. Seems to be no shortage of people who want to self build kits since stillen refuses to. We'll work together, my project depends on it at this point

 

You can try this but hey want pictures :/. When I sold my kit the dealer bent that bracket and I had to submit pictures of it to them before I could buy it

 

no longer have a need for it..
