Nice photos. Am I to understand from your post in the "other" Vortech install thread that the intercooler piping is going to require some custom work for the Automatic?

Here is the ECU upgrade. It connects to the crank sensor, and cam1 sensor, cam2 sensor wires. It is connected with a vacuum and also connected to the fuel delivery. This is the almost the same unit Vortech/Paxton uses in their Viper kit.


ECU Upgrade 1...



ECU Upgrade 2...

Yes, it is very true that the Automatic cars will require custom work as of right now. The discharge tube may work, with a little tinkering, but the the piping the comes out of the blower to the intercooler will require a lot of fabrication. The fans are in the way.

What are the dimensions of the Intercooler, and who are the manufacturers? Any pics of the bypass valve, is it discharged to the atmosphere or recycled? What about the PCV valve?

Thanks

Bump... I'm curious as to how this is coming along. Any updates?

Also, I'd love to hear more about the ECU upgrade. Is it programmable? If so, what are the programmable parameters?

Your PM box is full Force Induction, so i'm going to ask this question here:

http://www.superchargersonline.com/i...oil_sender.gif

From that picture it looks ilke you tapped into the port next to the filter that sends oil pressure to the ECU. I'd like to do this and add an oil pressure gauge for my G35. Is this what you did? Put a adaptor like this on there so you can hook up the stock sensor and tap into it with a gauge sender? If so , what type of fitting is this, thread pitch, etc so that I could pick up the same one... thanks alot!!

The kit is on hold right now due to some fabrication of the piping. Everything else looks pretty good. From my understanding they use a Spearco Intercooler

Narkotic – The oil feed is tapped into the oil pressure gauge, which goes to the ECU. This is pretty standard in all their Vortech kits. They use a 1/8 NPT by 1/8 NPT straight Tee. You will also need the 1/8 NPT female to female adaptor that goes in between the Tee and the Block.

The intercooler is 20” Wide, 7.8” High, and 3.6” Deep. Vortech does us a blow-off valve, which does ventilate into the atmosphere. Since it is before the Mass Air Meter they can get away with it. Here is a picture of what it looks like:

Default Blowoff valve...

Here's what the valve looks like on my car



I'm still interested in learning more about the ECU upgrade.

HEY GUYS LISTEN TO THIS. I LIVE OUT HERE IN THE OC CALI AND HAEV BEEN TRYING TO MAKE A DECISION ON WHAT TO BUY...THE GREDDY TWIN OR THE VORTEC SUPER CHARGER. I CALLED GREDDY AND ASKED THEM WHO DO THEY RECOMMEND ON INSTALLING IT SINCE THEY DO NOT DO IT. AND THEY HIGHLY RECCOMMENDED STILLEN. WHEN I CALLED STILLEN THEY GOT PISSED OFF AND TRIED TO SELL ME THIER SUPER CHARGER. I TOLD THEM THAT I DO NOT LIKE THE WAY IT LOOKS AND AFTER ABOUT 15MIN OF ARGUING THEY PUT ME ON HOLD....THEN THEY CAME BACK AND SAID THAT AFETR CAREFUL REVIEW THEY WILL NOT BE INSTALLING THE GREDDY KIT DUE TO IT NOT EBING SMOG LEGAL. I CAN ONLY FIND ONE PLACE THAT WILL SELL AND INSTALL THE KIT ADN THATS SUPERAUTOBACS. EVERYONE ELSE IS SAYING THAT THE KIT IS VERY COMPLICATED AND THERE IS A VERY HIGH CHANCE OF YOU JACKING UP YOUR ENGINE.......JUST FOOD FOR THOUGHT....WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS. IF YOU DONT BELIEVE ME JUST CALL GREDDY AT 949 588 8300 AND ASK WHO THEY RECCOMEND AND THEN CALL STILLEN AT 714 540 5566 AND SEE WHAT THEY SAY.......WOULD LIKE TO KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS....
