My girl friend picked up a copy of SuperStreet mag while she was at the store . It had a 240 in it with a QV motor with a B. Crower 4.15 stroker kit and a Vortech SC with the 3.12 pulley . It said the car wasnt finished and didnt give a whp number for it . But I did notice that it had a extra pulley on it that looked like a stock Vortech pulley and it is in the same spot the GTM put on Diesel's car with the T-trim blower on it .

 

QV? or VQ?

 

oops !!! VQ

^^^^^ That would be the one . Looks pretty good in a 240 . The mag said the one in the article was running 9psi . So I would think it was the stock blower

 

that car might have the hood clearance for that big pulley there where GTM put theirs

My mechanic was saying there just wasn't enough room for a huge pulley there on my Z anyway


it'll be cool to see what results this setup makes.

 

why did they supercharge it? if they were going to stroke the motor, they needed to turbo the VQ and use the added displacement. How it is modded to me right now is a waste.

 

editted the thread title for the OP

 

Saw that... Nice car. My question is what's up with the BDL tb? Anyone else notice? I wonder what sort of gain there was by throwing this on the car....

this picture is of the 2006 vortech kit, must be a REV UP engine



that's ridiculous
you can use displacement for NA, supercharged, turbo, or nitrous
more displacement = more power, making the most noticable difference at low rpms which compliments the vortech

 

I think they used it because it isnt a drive by wire throttlebody and dont have to use a stock ECU....would have to re-read to see what EMS they used

^^^^^ Was your original post . I guess you took a second look at the pic in the link and changed your post . I was going to say , my pulley used on my setup sticks up higher than the main bracket and has plenty of hood clearance

 

...I didn't edit my post

at first I thought you were talking about a setup similar to what GTM recently did, but that one appears to not be a 287 hp engine since it has the 2006 vortech

initially I looked here:
http://vqswap.com/index.html and that looked like a normal 287 hp engine vortech

 

Ah sorry I didnt see your post that I quoted . Its a few more up . I read it in my email and clicked on the link for it . This post [ below ] came up so I thought you had totally changed it...my bad

i think it's girls car

 

Sorry to hijack but check out the widebody subbie in the LAST CALL section and check out my home girl Amber's ride!

 

Good **** right there, and 500whp in a 240 would be a great set up, the torque is probably insane!!

 

Are you her boy friend ? She gave him a lot of credit for the build .

Here is a 600whp 4 wheel drive Sentra a tech at the shop built .

 

Oh, I know, but you have to admit you would get more out of the kit with a turbo setup. The stroker kit is expensive as it is, so why not get the maximum benefit out of it? I dunno, just my opinion.
