I have to agree with you on the SSR turbo kit. Albert is a great guy and SSR makes a great kit. This is why I am using the SSR kit and selling my Greddy kit. I can't wait to see your G when its done. I was talking to Tom at Light Speed the other day. He told me that you had called him. I hope he helped you with any questions you may of had.

gq - Correct, .020 overbore Wiseco 8.8.1's. We decided not to sleeve this block so this will be the perfect opportunity for everyone to find out if the stock sleeves will handle 600-700hp.
I'll eventually sleeve the stock block thats in the car right now to evaluate the jump from a 3.5 to a 3.8/9. Should be interesting...

Okay Guys,
I just got off the phone with Vortech and its a go!
We're going to be working with Vortech for the F.I. system for our Project G35. This is a great opportunity for everyone to find out the potential of a fully built, supercharged VQ motor.
We're unsure on the specifics of the Trim and Pulley sizes right now but we'll definitely be covering all of that info throughout the build-up.
Let me know what you guys think, what you want to know and what you'd like to be covered.
Thanks guys,
-Derek,
DSport

Derik, does Vortech plan on offering a pulley that can support 20psi or more? Can the blower actually suppor that much? To my knowledge...they dont..and it cant.
Are the doing something custom for you guys or is this an off the shelf SC unit. If not, then 600-700whp is not going to be possible...not even close....with the Vortech SC.

As of now this is a custom setup, but if all goes well i believe it could turn into an off the shelf setup.

Instead of a V-1 S-Trim(1000 CFM, Max PSI:20, 50000 RPM), i think we might go with a V-1 T-Trim(1200 CFM, Max PSI:26, 55000RPM). Don't take this as definite answer but i think thats the plan...Hopefully it fits

Update on the Project:
-Block is disassembled and at Cosworth for the machine work, just waiting for the RPS clutch and flywheel to get everything balanced
-Head is at M2 Race Systems for a port & polish, 5-axis CNC and installation of the Ferrea valvetrain.
-Tomei 268's are on their way, thanks to Adam at Z-1
-Car is at Design Craft Fabrication for a custom NHRA 5-Point Roll Bar.
We did an update on all of DSport's Project cars, including our G35, in our May 05' issue which should hit newsstands on March 29th. We get some copies in the office early so if anyone wants to get this issue let me know and i'll hook you up.
Thanks,

Please be advised..
On a G35 we saw at Mossy Show in San Diego...
The unit was a "Stock" Vortech... It had bit of belt noise..
When the owner asked us what could be wrong..
We took a straight edge - Metal Meter Stick - and showed the bow
in the Vortech mounting plate...Which looks strong but has a tendendency to bow as you tighten the drive belt... Which mis-aligned the drive pulley to blower pulley angle.
P.S. you could use a straight metal YARD stick and get abought 3/16" of bow in the middle... This equates to about 2 degree difference on pulley angle..
Cheers Amy

Thanks for the comments guys. It should be very interesting to see how things go. Hopefully it will be the worlds highest hp, quickest and fastest supercharged G35/350Z. Trying to keep up with the turbo boys.
Yep, saw the finished product today and it looks great. Make sure you guys pick up the February issue of DSport, I'm possitive no one here will be disappointed.
Sent you a PM Charles.
