I think either method is safe enough to use really

 

Great thread, It answered all my questions about the vortech. My wife's Scion has the TRD(vortech) supercharger on her car and it performs excellent. I would love to TT my Z but I think the economical choice for 360rwhp to 380rwhp is the Vortech.

 

Has anyone considered filling up the vortech 1/3 full of light weight oil similar to the ATI and plugging the nozzle holes in order to reduce temps?

I would think that if you changed the oil frequesntly there would be no issues with doing so. The only problem I could see would be that the stock kit doesn't have the headunit mounted level if I am not mistaken and it could possibly leak out one of the seals. I could be wrong though.

 

I know ATI does this . But I wouldnt know if Vortech's gear set would be made for it , or if.....like you said....if the seals could handle it .

 

Inventoried my tuner kit:

conclusion, looks like everything i need is there EXCEPT a vacuum hose. I guess its not included in the tuner kit?

Also, got a extra part: 7U032-020 hose, 3/8" id pwrstr Looks like its for a 2006. Hope i was sent the correct kit.

where should i buy my vacuum hose?








OH ****! ****ING GREAT! i was sent a revup vortech kit! I have a 03 6mt. God damnit.

 

There should be no issues with the gearset holding up to it. The main concern would be the seals. I may just try it for a while with the volute and impeller off (so it doesn't get ruined if the bearing let go) running NA just to see if the bearing hold up and the seals hold. Worst case scenario is that I ruin the bearings and then I have to rebuild it.

 

Just a note:
AMS (50mm) and Flex-a-lite FLX-220B Fan fit with the Vortech.

 

i need to get a vaccuum line for my bypass valve. seems its not included in the tuner kit. Any suggestions? I dont know if its 5/32 id or od. Jeremy suggested fuel line.

Would a hardware store have it? Advance auto parts?

will that work?

 

I thought the tuner kit came with everything needed to run safe with the exception of the EMS (no SS box... need UTEC, Fcon, Greddy, etc), injectors, and fuel pump?

.

 

For those that have bought the tuner kit, was the hose for the bypass valve included? I need to find one asap!

 

the vacuum line is not included. you will need to grab some from your local auto parts store...


1/4 inch should do but i am not sure on that...

thanks

 

1/4? manual says 5/32. 5/32 is a tight fit. Is that id or od?

another question, the utec map sensor provides a tiny hose, do i need a reducer to tap it to the vacuum line? What kind of footage is really needed for the bypass valve's vacuum line? manual says 7' but thats quite a bit to reach from front of the plenum to the bypass valve.

i install in two weeks! trying to get everything in order.

 

theres new pulley layout even for the 03's, are the belt sizes different?

i was given a gates: 13/16" by 80 1/8" oc
part# k060795
6pk2020


doesnt the old vortech use a 93 inch belt?

new pulley layout for nonrevup motors

 

Just recieved my full kit today and it does have the new pulley layout, I hope this design helps with any slippage issue

 

For the 3.12 pulley with the new layout you need Gates K060790.

 

Its 5/32. Tight fit but you don't want that line popping off under boost. I suggest zip ties for all your vacuum lines.

 

Great idea!

 

great write up. one question: will the 350z non-revup kit work on the g35 non-revup?
