Default Relentless Autosports Install: Vortech S/C

Relentless was awesome. I owe you guys big. The car (Claire) came out great. I'm most excited about having so much room to play down the road. I wanted safe and I got it.

The car:

Purchased March 2007
My car before the install: Numbers are my own preference
99.8% Stock Exterior. (Clear Corners)
98% Stock Performance. (Nismo Exhaust)

After Install:
92% Stock Exterior. (Powercoated Stock Rims)
52% Stock. (21X HP Stock to 313 HP Vortech)

Vortech Supercharger:
Modified Tuner Kit
Stock 3.33" Pulley
Larger Intercooler and IC Piping
Jim Wolf Split Second EM
440 Injectors
Walbro in tank Fuel Pump

On to the Pics: Please enjoy my comments

Electric BOV:


Pretending to cool off after a wicked track session:

Color me jealous --- looks like a nice, safe, simple setup. Exactly what I would go for...at the current time.

Enjoy

Edit: Why do you stop at 6300rpm?

Thanks Stan, you and your roadster were awesome to work with. I am pretty sure that the rev limiter or top speed limiter was the deciding factor in the 6300 RPM ending, nothing that a re-flash wouldn't take care of , or while we are at it why not add some 3.91 final drive gears, and the 3.12 pulley ??? But enjoy your car how it is............(for now) .......

That BOV setting looks a little off. I believe it should be showing about 7-9 threads above the locking nut.

Yeah, I'm going to have Scott take another look at the BOV next time I'm down there.
He would be best to answer whose setup it was.
The power may seem a little low, but I'm really as happy as can be.

1 - I'm guessing the BOV needs to be tighter due to the lower amount of boost.
2 - Relentless will adjust next time I'm there if I want to.
3 - Not on 7PSI, running 5ishPSI because of the entire tubing of the car is 1/2" larger.
4 - Thanks!

Yes ...your running an intercooler and pipe made to run a T-trim blower . I also have the big Icevex IC and 3 inch pipe . Works great for me , but running it with a V-2 SQ trim looks to be to big .

Have fun with your car and enjoy !!!!!!
