ibsrocket,

I live in vero beach,too. I didn't think there are many Gor Z enthusiasts here.

Just last week, I ran into a guy named "mike" w/ a TT G35 that makes over 600 rwhp He lives in Vero,too.

Jason, wanna buy a polished blower? It's used for 5000 miles and doesn't have your problems. I could get you a good deal I'm sure...

 

You selling yours already?

 

Yup. That's the one. He was having some troubles with it at the track. What a clean car, though!!!!

 

Well my car's totaled and the blower won't fit on my new 2006 G coupe so off she comes.

 

neff,

Vortech is working on the 05-06 revup motors. I spoke with them yesterday and today. They have an '05 coupe in "the bay" and it should be another month or 2.

 

Damn Neff,

Sorry to hear about that. How did it happen?

Look at the bright side, you are getting a brand new 06.

 

just started up a customers car with vortech today. With the cog belt on the looser side, it sounds the same with the inconsistent rattling sound. With the cog belt tight, the rattling almost dissappears but the whine gets LOUD...

This has got to be completely normal... because there are more people that have this sound, and very few people say that theirs is not making all that noise. If the sound is not supposed to be there, then they must have very poor quality control.

 

Honestly, this blower sounds normal. I've heard some that wine like crazy, and others will rattled. But personally, I wouldn't spend any additional labor money to solve the issue. Maybe raise the idle, and have some fun with the car!!

 

Sharif and Phunk are right . Its a normal sound . All you can do is just play with the cog belt tention to see you can lessen the noise . Also to be safe , check the oil sprayer to see if its open and the oil feed line isnt kinked

 

I just put my vortech on this past weekend. I too have this problem and would like a cure. I am going to trace all the lines and make sure nothing is kinked.

However, i seriously think that this G that someone posted sounds 100x better than my car. I rather have whine than rocks in my engine.

+1. I can't believe how many people with say that something is wrong with the install when these threads pop up. After all the people that post and say they have this rattling (rocks in the engine sound) you would think that people would get the picture and realize this is normal. I had this when I had the vortech and it absolutely pissed me off.

 

When I get my car back from the shop hopefully soon I'll see if I can bring out a microphone out to the car and record the idle (don't have a video camera)

I really don't think my car sounds like there's rocks in it at all. Anyone with an aftermarket clutch knows what clutch rattle sounds like and that's really the only rattle I hear on my car - is from my clutch and even that's pretty low volume cause my idle is close to 1000 rpms

 

It sounds like people are not doing their research prior to going F/I. People should search for the problems(normal sounds in this case) that a particular F/I kit possesses before they drop the cash on it.

 

yeah there's so many videos out there for each kit. There must be like 10 pretty good vortech videos out there at least that show it at idle, driving by, highway, on the dyno, reving, from behind the wheel, misc idle rattling sounds people are troubleshooting etc

 

I dont think this noise is or should be normal. My brothers good friend has a G with a vortech and seriously has no rattle at all, only whine. One of the reasons i was persuaded to by the vortech after riding in his car. He didn't do anything to fix it as it was never a problem. I dont know though...

 

I am willing to bet my left nut that your brother's friend has a higher idle than you do thus hiding the spray can sound. I only got the noise when the idle dipped below 700 rpms. When I would turn my a/c on and the idle bumped up to 800 the noise would go away.

 

Alright man, i really dont want to turn this into an argument so i will talk to him and get back to you. Thanks for your help. BTW thats a huge bet!
