vortech FAQ: read this before asking vortech questions
I have the REV UP so the GTM is not needed. I am getting old I guess. I didnt know they made a 2.60...thats a win win for sure!
its (the intercooler) about double the size of the vortech one. I only drove the car once without a retune so it could of been me being paranoid about it all.
Im glad I was, we just found like a half gallon of water in the effing motor, with only 170 freggin miles on it.
bodyshop let it sit outside for like weeks with no hood or windows periodically. AllState is in their *** now though. So I might build the bottom end if all goes well.

Well after reading about 30 pages, including the intro i have a serious headache and i think i also got diarrhea , but that could be dinners fault.
Anyways looking to step into this set up
have a 2005 g35 coupe ie revup
5/16 spacer, nismo headers, fast intentions cats and exhaust. I also have a unorthodox pulley set and car is tuned with uprev.
I am looking to buy the tuner kit and get the walbro fuel pump, 550cc injectors.
I am also looking to buy an upgraded radiator ie the koyo 53mm . Will this kit fit with a slight bigger radiator? After that i am looking at oil pan spacer and oil cooler.
This car will be used for track purposes. That is why i wanted to ask ppl with experience with this kit on the track what their experiences were??? heat? longevity?
I also wanted to ask people who are using uprev to tune how their experiences were going or have gone ???
Lastly i was going for the V3 sc rather than the v2. Is the v3 the route to go???
Thank in advance

- a 53mm radiator will be tight, especially if you're going to install an aftermarket fan shroud. the koyo 36mm vcore and fan shroud fits well.
- install the oil pan spacer and cooler ahead of time or when you install the supercharger.
- uprev's osiris is fine for most.
- get the V3 blower.

^thank you!

I actually have this pulley set. It is lighter than stock, it is the same size though and says its fully balanced.
It will be a problem???
Also does anyone know the size of the stock radiator ???

I am using the Mishimoto radiator. I believe they only sell one size so I am not sure what the measurement is. This radiator fits but it is VERY tight with a stock fan shroud.

- does your pulley set include a lighter than stock and/or unbalanced crank pulley? if so, you should swap back on the OEM crank pulley or a dampened one (ATI or Fluidampr)

Or a T Trim tuner kit with upgraded intercooler. You will have more room to grow…
I was hoping to get some feedback/advice for my next potential upgrade for my Vortech V3 setup. Here is what I am planning on ordering:
- 928M Impeller
- 928M Boost Limiter Valve (BLV)
- 928M 2.62" Pulley
After doing the calculations (as per Vortech's formula), this setup will spin the 928M impeller just slightly over it's rated limit. However, Vortech's formula assumes no belt slip. My current setup, stock impeller and 2.87" pulley, also spins the stock impeller slightly over it's rated limit with no problems amongst the community with this setup.
The idea is to utilize the smaller pulley to bring more boost in sooner while using the BLV to limit the amount of air being forced into the motor. I figure I'll set the BLV somewhere between 15-17psi, or basically wherever we stop seeing linear gains.
Has anyone ever run a setup similar to this?
Does anyone know the threshold of the bearings?
Does anyone see an error in my above logic?

any updates on engine failures from this kit???
im about to pull the plug on a v3 tuner kit. w/ uprev tuning and injector dynamics 750cc.
stock engine rev up.
spacer/mrev, lightweight (stock sized pulley), headers/hfc/exhaust, jwt flywheel/clutch, koyo rad.
Hoping for some fun times, but the question is, how long does the fun last ????

I am thinking about getting the full kit with V3 for my 06Z, could anyone tell me a ballpark price to get it installed? I am also thinking about getting an Uprev , would it be better to have for this Supercharger, or dont I need it? Sorry, but I am a F/I noob. Thanks
I would recommend an Uprev reflash once you get the blower on. Mine was tuned on it with the Vortech and it is very reliable, super smooth, and runs perfect.
+1 on uprev
i recommend you install the kit yourself. its very straightforward, and the install will prepare you for when you will inevitably have to fix/remove/tweak something.
