Well guys i took of the filter on my brand new vortech and saw a horrible sight....... the blades had started to dig into the compressor housing... i know im not the first on to have this problem so any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks alot guys

 

was this a recently bought/installed vortech kit?

this has been pretty lame on vortech's part recently

 

Sorry to hear man, call Vortech and they will give you a RA#. The turn around time is not to bad but shipping can cost afew $$s.

There is no excuse for the units failing the way they have been but Vortech has been doing a good job on getting them fixed and back out fast. Hope by now they know whats wrong and have the problem taking care of.

 

Well its been a long journey for me i got it back in the summer put it on and on the way to get tuned the motor blew because of a stuck injector... so io had to get a new motor and now i just got it back 2 weeks ago from F:T and now my charger blows this morning SO IDK i guess its just my luck hahaha

 

Sorry to hear bro but there is a number of us that have gone through this now. Like was said above, call Vortech and get an RA number. The turn around time is about 3 weeks on the newer blowers. They are doing a pretty good job of getting these back ASAP. GL

 

god that sucks . i was there picking my car up and dave was telling me that your motor blew because of a stuck injectors.

 

Thanks guys i will def let you all know how things go... but yeah i know im def not the first to have this problem..... And by the way this account is actually mine... i accidentily posted on his account but his z is running great just to let everyone know!!!!

 

Bad luck for sure !!!!
I think you are the first case of someone having an injector go bad and blow a motor . How was the car being driven at the time the injector went bad ?

 

nope. I think aarantes had his STS kit installed at FP. All 6 were open and blew his motor quick.

please add your name to the list https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....hlight=vortech

Its for information puposes, i would appreciate it.

 

The car was being driven at basically an idle all the way to virgina but what messed it was when the motor hydrolocked when we tried to start it up several times

 

Actually this is my brothers Z, ha for some reason i must have been signed on when he posted. He is floridaboy on here that has the other thread about the vortech eating itself. He has had the worst luck in the world for sure with this. We pulled the charger off yesterday to find the blades cutting a grove into the houseing So its getting shipped out hopefully on monday to vortech to fix the situation and get his Z back on the road soon as we can this time....i hope

 

More fail from Vortech.

On the plus side, it seems once the faulty blowers are replaced there are no further issues.

 

Yeah, seems Vortech knows exactly what the issue is with these newer Vortechs that are going bad. Once they get fixed, they seem to be fine.
