Default Wow!!! I'm done

I just got my SS box from Vortech (they sent me a bad box with the kit) and WOW!!! thats all I can say. I don't know how you guys do it with the 500-600rwhp. I just finished my Vortech install and it is sick fast!!! I LOVE IT!!!! I still need to put some stuff back together, then I'll post some pics. Everything seems to be running great. Fuel pressure is ok, boost is hitting 7.9 psi, no belt slippage yet. I still need to tune it though. its running really rich. I am hitting 9.8 at some points. I'm gonna dyno in the next few weeks, and get some vids


This thing is nuts!

You guys with the 500rwhp are even more nuts!!! HAHAHAHA

I'm going to try to get some Vids up next week sometime when I mount the gauges and clean up the car. I still need to tie some wires back and put some of the plastics back

You can always lean it out by throwing a smaller pulley on that thing. hehe

I know Sharif was joking but just in case... The larger pulley *won't* necessarily lean it out because of the 8:1 fuel pump.

Yeah, the instructions are not the greatest. I don't really have any hints. It actually kind of hard to give hint becasue I don't know how much you know about cars. If you know your way around a car somewhat they you can pretty much just look at the parts and know what to do. If you run into a problem use the forums. MY350Z.com was so much help you wouldn't believe. And all the people were very nice and answered any questions I had quickly.

Oh and if you want to pay the extra money, buy the ECU patch harness. It makes the wireing and soldering very easy


Good luck
