Stillen supercharger install - Page 2

SlightlyStoopid · 10-16-2005, 07:01 PM

as a former owner of a Ford Lightning DONT MESS WITH SUPERCHARGERS they are an empty money pit, dont think that you are going to spend the 5 g's and there u go 100 hp, its a nightmare i would strongly suggest no one put them selves in that situation

i traded my lightning in for a titan and intake is as far as im going

Look on the bright side, the pit will only remain empty if you don't fill it with moola.

Stillen keeps the warranty intact. One of the bonuses for the kit.

thats awsome, did not know that.....

interesting to see the #'s the truck puts out

is he going to be running larger injectors and MAF???

buzzkillwill · 10-17-2005, 03:12 AM

I don't know if the injectors are larger, but I believe there's more-16 to be exact.

Not sure of the MAF-Anyone?

The warranty covers the engine for 3/36. The rest of the warranty stays intact for the rest of the vehicle. The only thing I can think of that may not be covered is trans and rear. I'd check with Stillen on those.

You know the problem with the Lightning kit?
It's the FORD part...

Understood.My wife allready gave the go ahead but I turned her down. Why would I do such a thing you might ask? Well, it's simple really, when you think about it, I have a fair amount of performance on a reliable daily driver and I'm happy with that for now. Maybe if I get 60 or 80g on this motor I may slap one on for the helluvit and you will probably be able to get one used off a wrecked Titan cheap by then.

I heard diffrently. The dealership I bought my Titan from was installing a SC on their shop/delivery truck and they told me that it voids the engine warranty (regardless who installs it). But the supercharger is covered by Stillen.

Stillen is warrantying the engine from what I understand as long as it is installed by an ASE mechanic and pay the additional $$ for the warranty.
Someone Correct me if I'm wrong*-)
