Vortech installation problems

I have a revup Vortech (yes, the blowers between non-revup and revup are the same)...I did the install myself, I didn't have to tilt the blower down...that's something you really shouldn't have to do...
However, I have the V2 blower so i couldn't verify for sure if you have the right blower or not....I would contact Vortech and give them the serial # of your blower to verify they sent you the right blower...or you can show them the pics I posted and ask them if a 350z blower should really look like that...

YES! I noticed that too and at first I was certain that was the problem.
But then Vortech told me the only different parts between a revup and a non-revup are the cog pulley, the mounting plate and some miscellaneous bolts and spacers. I specifically asked them today if the blower is identical for the two models, they said yes.
And yes, mine is a V3, I don't know if it should be like that though.
I noticed your blower's intake is tilted way down compared to mine. Did your shop do it manually or did it came like that?

take a look there and u will know what im trying to say...looks like theres a kit for 05's non-revup, and 06 revup kits, but then there is a kit for 05-06 revup and its only a tuner kit???...idk, would just suck to be wasting ur time with the wrong kit, i mean it can really only go in one way

yes the bolt u take out on like the first couple steps is re-used for the cog tensioner bolt its a long bolt u pull right out during ur uninstallation of things u will see...those bolts u have there chef are all for mounting the blower to the bracket and the bracket and blower to the motor..

Now, if I remove the black spacer, which we tried, the ribbed pulley on the jackshaft (the upper right one as you look at the engine bay from the front, on the mounting plate) is hitting the blower's intake, and it will not sit properly - there's just not enough clearance.

This serpentine pulley was replaced when I got the right parts the second time around, and it was already placed on the revup mounting plate. I haven't measure it, tbh, but it should be the right one, as it came preinstalled on the revup plate.
Also, it's not the pulley that hits on the intake of the blower if I remove the black spacer, but rather the bolt that holds it in place on the plate.
So, 3.12 or 3.33, the center should be sitting on the same place, right?

I found this pic on the installation manual.
So I guess the black spacer has been correctly installed by my shop.
Back to the start again then, I'm gonna cry!
