Tried that, didn't work for me in my climate. It did make it better but on cold starts it will still squeal. This might be more for the cooler temps (not Texas, Flordia, etc)?

Thanks for the imput in either case. This is the easiest solution I can think of. I haven't seen anything easier that works this well.

 

I drove my vortech year round for 2 years. It was well below 0* F here in indiana in the winter.

I only had startup squeal the first time I installed it then I realized you have to tighten the belt VERY tight. If you are still getting start up squeal then it's not tight enough. I just kept tightening until it went away.

 

Answered in my thread so were not double posting lol.

 

currently doing a vortech v2 build on my '06 rev-up. have a question about my aem wideband gauge that i'm about to install. can i use the aem supplied sensor to replace a factory sensor, or must i have another bung welded in? the only thing i'm using this is for the gauge in the car. not for tuning. will be tuning with osiris.

 

You need another bung welded in.......

 

kind of figured, but wanted to make sure. thanks again man.

 

My car is currently at the shop and I was informed that the 2.62 pulley I ordered from 928 Motorsports "bottoms out" & "lacks depth". I have no idea what the means, can someone provide with knowledge of this situation.

 

IIRC you need to machine that pulley to get it to fit

 

Ok, but wouldn't that make the pulley smaller? I'm thinking if it's "bottoming out" is it too small already? Again, I have no clue! I called 928 and apparently they work Saturday banking hours!

 

Yes, you will definitely have to machine that pulley....I had to machine my 2.75 pulley from 928 to get it to fit...

 

Like This.....but on the back side.

 

To what part are you referring?

 

Look at my last post.

Do you see the 928 pulley is Flat on the sides, and the Vortech is recessed. This is where the pulley is rubbing the front of the JackShaft Housing. The pulley needs to be recessed for clearance.

 

Yes, thanks guys.

 

machine it like this:

 

Will be installing a V2 SI sometime in the coming months. Still need a clutch, radiator and I would like to get an oil cooler which brings me to a question. Where is the best place, referring to flow, to place that guy? I was thinking inline with the blower supply but I would not want to restrict flow to the blower. Inline with the return from the blower obviously isn't good as any flow restriction after the "work" isn't ideal. Only other option is a completely seperate circuit but that raises efficiency concerns in my mind. Thoughts? Thanks.

 

you cool your entire oil supply not the oil just going to the supercharger.
you get a sandwich plate and run lines from the oil filter to the cooler and back to the filter

 

I understand that. So Tee off the cooler feed line to supply the blower? That's where I am concerned about equal flow to the blower and cooler.

 

sandwich plates have 1/8 NPT taps that you use, or else you T off the oil pressure sender in the upper pan.

its all perfectly explained in the install instructions on vortechs website

 

Yea you are totally missing the question. I know what a sandwich plate is and how blower is typically supplied. Question was, would it work to put the cooler inline with that supply, or would that create too much resistance?
