are you going to try to get the vortech to do 550-600whp?

 

maybe he will run NOS with the S/C

 

ya the other day i heard a noise under my hood so i looked then turned off my car and all three of the major bolts holding the pulley system in to the motor were all the way screwed out

 

time for liquid thread lock

 

I didnt read the whole thread ---U blew ur A/C clutch. Remove the A/C belt and replace it when u get a new compressor---If u go to the trouble of taking it out to replace the clutch, U mite as well replace the whole Unit---It MAY have locked up and it will happen again----CHECK ALL pulleys and make sure it didnt harm them when it went flying---Go from there ----Good Luck ---This is not a big Deal probably

Don't you deal with GRD? They distribute GT Motorsports motors, pistons and/or rods or they offer motors from a local machine shop. I'd suggest you call them since you were pleased with their SC install.

 

Is that even possible? If I had to rebuild my engine, I would just try to maximize the power on the SC and call it a day. But if you really want this kind of power, rebuild the engine, dump the SC and get a TT setup.

 

yes, i may dump the s/c and go twin turbo if i build the motor. funds arent that readily available though lol.... so we'll see what happens.

 

and you only had the vortech for 3 months
you could always get nitrous though and use a progressive controller

 

lol id like the nitrous, but when i had it before the s/c i was always scared of it, if anything it damaged the motor probaly. when i went to get the s/c put in the motor did seem somewhat damaged. tons of smoke coming out every now and then, massive oil consumption etc... it would be nice to have extra power at a push , we'll see

any opinion on these? would this be all i need for the rebuild? j/w looking at options i have

 

If I were you, I would talk to your installer about your future build and options first.

 

how big of a shot were you running?

 

that is the style of rod I would choose personally, the smoother the lines the better.

 

125 shot. and yes i just wanted to be informed about some routes and things to bring up to GRD when doing it

 

man, 125 shot is a pretty big shot on a stock block - were you using a progressive controller or was it hitting all at once?

 

all at once... was fun for a while, but then i put cams in and the nitrous and cams wouldnt work together..... instant pinging and detonation, 2 runs for less then 3 secs each... so sold the nitrous and rather then spend $1k on a ECU put it towards a kit.

 

Anyone have any opinion on the quality of that setup i posted ? the arias pistons and eagle rods? any idea what HP levels they can handle?

 

those are fine. The eagle rods installed in other cars have taken a beating so far with like over 600whp in some cases if I recall. The arias are good pistons. Both the rods and pistons are rated to hold a crazy huge amount of power each - don't remember the exact number though
