Default V3 Vortech Now Available for 350Z and G35 !!!

So I just ordered my vortech and found out that they're releasing kits for the G35 and 350z with the V3 supercharger that requires no oil lines like the procharger.

You can find out more info about it here :

http://www.streetlegaltv.com/forum/v...ed-v3-194.html

So I just read this thread here:

http://forums.g35club.org/zerothread?id=346248&page=1

Frank @ Vortech says the following:


Hey Jack03,

I apologize that you never got a response.

We don't have a complete system for an 07 G35 as of yet. I'm working with engineering to get one done. We thought the 07 G35 was going to have the VQ35HR motor like the 07 350Z. Well as you know it didn't, it came with the VQ35DE. The G37 ended up with the HR motor similar layout to the 07 350Z HR.

We need to update the list on our website. The V3 is now available for the 03-06 350Z/G35 kits.

If anyone with an 07 G35 coupe (stock) in so cal reads this we need a car for R&D. You'll get a discount on the kit and FREE installation. We'll need the car for up to 4 weeks. Give me a call for more details 805-247-0226 Ext.225
So I'm gonna call them tomorrow and hope that I can get the V3 instead to ease my self install

it's not really an upgrade guys, it's more of a different option for new installs for those who are scared to tap the block or a spacer

for those that already have a vortech, you're already tapped into your engine anyway one way or another. What compelling reason do you have to switch to a self contained blower?

Vortech has stated that V2 and V1 are better at dealing with heat because of the greater supply of oil, and especially so if you have an oil cooler

IMO I just see the blower as adding extra maintenance with having to change 2 oils instead of one. And you can't even actively cool the V3 with an external oil cooler or can you?

always worried about the blower getting oil and getting rid of it....one clog on the oil feed line and its broken....one kink on the return and its broken...lol

peace of mind that I can change it out like every 1000 miles without changing my entire engine oil every 1000 miles.

I would upgrade for that...but you are right man...sort of a waist of money... but I am always paranoid about my car. I had a rock stuck in a wheel and heard it over the radio...i have issues I know...lol.

I would love to keep that SC oil changed like every 1000 miles...that would be nice... cant afford it otherwise.

I'm just excited since I haven't seen it run yet and I like the idea of saving me some $$ on install (no more oil pan drilling)

I'll do a nice review of it once I get it in.

It's supposed to ship either today or Friday and so it should arrive sometime Wednesday or Thursday.

The car goes under the knife on Friday and Saturday by a local mechanic so no review until then.

It won't by any means be impressive on the dyno since I'm only runnign the full kit and no changes.

Thumbs up

JUST CALLED VORTECH....THEY ARE OFFERING A DISCOUNT FOR EXCHANGING UP TO THE NEW V3!!!!


I really like the idea of changing my blower oil every 1000 miles or less....one time down the track...change... that would be sweet!

It only holds like 4 or 5 oz of oil!!!!!!!

I dont want to put numbers up on line....but the discount off of the new blower in exchange for your old is well worth it IMO!

talk about pampering your blower...this would be sweet...especially with that drain line.

dont call the sales guys....call the techs....

send it in...they send you a new one...minus the price diff.

the v-3 is the same as the SC trim so 53,000 is the max impeller speed and all other data is the same.
