I know there is a thread just like this but mine is a little bit different. There was only 4 vortechs in that entire thread of about 60 people. I know there are more than 4 people on stock blocks with vortech.

Can we get a running list of your mods/psi/whp/wtq and miles you have been supercharged on your stock blocks?

I am interested in seeing how hard people are pushing their vortechs on the stock motor or how many miles a conservative vortech setup has seen on a stock motor.

Ill keep an updated list so its nice and clean.



1. 350Z400rwhp - 330whp and 300wt 8lbs boost. 7,000 miles now with the Vortech and about 60k on my engine.

2. Car Vs Driver - 365whp and 320 wtq on heartbreaker 3,500 miles on vortech 58k miles on engine.

3. thegallardo - 6psi 343 dynamics and 381 dyno jet, with 30k.

4. CaneZMD - 50k miles on my z with the vortech. Just changed to the 3.12 pulley. Installed at 30k, 80k on the z now.

5. Cuz350z - Added the vortech at 60k miles in August of 07, at 74k miles now so 14k boosted. I admittedly dont drive the car that hard though. It has been autoxed, dragged and to Zdayz. Hp: 338whp on sharifs DD

6. JET MECH - 05 revup 35th anniversery model. 430whp/390wt (dyno jet at GTM) 14 lbs boost at 6600 rpm, 15,000 miles with vortech. 20,000 on engine. STRICTLY RUN 100 OCTANE FUEL. heavy cooling/supporting mod's to keep the stock block together this long. also running a non rev-up cog setup on a rev-up kit. this is not my DD just a weekend toy.

7. nd2spd - Baseline: 243.44whp/242.94wtq - Vortech: 372.06whp/317.78wtq - 8.58 psi Boost - Vortech installed at 29,644 - currently at 29,900

11. Not my car but I installed a kit on a 03 auto coupe. at about 7 psi it put down 350 hp and close to the same tq. Been a while so not positive on the exact numbers. But the car has 54k and been SC'd for about 20K. Not a single hiccup

22. ForceInduction - Less than 30,000 miles on it when I installed it and now I am pushing 90,000. Stock boost which is around 7psi. Gone through 1 clutch so far...and one belt.

 

My mods are in my sig but 300wtq and 330whp on a Dyno Dynamics 8lbs boost. 7,000 miles now with the Vortech and about 60k on my engine. Runs like stock only faster.

 

Probably about 3500 very hard miles, the car has a total of 58K miles. Link to my build and modifications is in my sig.

 

i have 03z non revup. with 3.3 pulley 6psi 343 dynamics and 381 dyno jet, with 30k. and the rest is on my signature.

 

I think I'm gonna win this one. I've put 50k miles on my z with the vortech. Just changed to the 3.12 pulley. Installed at 30k, 80k on the z now.

 

how many miles since vortech?

 

can you guys maybe help me and list whp wtq and how many miles you installed it at?

 

also.. even if your stock block didnt last please post up how long it lasted and when it blew..

 

Added the vortech at 60k miles in August of 07, at 74k miles now so 14k boosted. I admittedly dont drive the car that hard though.

It has been autoxed, dragged and to Zdayz.

Hp: 338whp on sharifs DD

 

HP & TQ is relative to the dyno ... case in point, I put down ~365 on Dave's heart breaker, yet I can easily pull over 400 on a Dyno Jet.

Best thing to do is compare your baseline against your results and see how much gain you have. I gained just about 145HP peak over my baseline at the wheels, but there are huge gains across the board.

 

good point, but a lot of people probably dont remember their baselines..

 

05 revup 35th anniversery model,2.87 pulley, 430whp/390wt (dyno jet at GTM) 14 lbs boost at 6600 rpm, 15,000 miles with vortech. 20,000 on engine. STRICTLY RUN 100 OCTANE FUEL. heavy cooling/supporting mod's to keep the stock block together this long. also running a non rev-up cog setup 32/28 on a rev-up kit. this is not my DD just a weekend toy.

 

^^ nice numbers man.

 

Baseline: 243.44whp/242.94wtq - Vortech: 372.06whp/317.78wtq - 8.58 psi Boost - Vortech installed at 29,644 - currently at 29,900

 

Baseline: ?? - Vortech: 313whp/282wtq - 5 psi Boost - Vortech installed at 14XXX- currently at 43XXX

I think I need a rebuild.

 

Whys that?

 

I have some slight blow by, and the inlet shows signs of some slight slight contact.

I really need to sit down one weekend and rip her apart and fix everything. Just lazy/tired. I'm a horrible horrible FI owner.

 

best pull was 396/330 on sharif's dyno dynamics
maybe 7k on the setup with 40k on car

 

bump

 

414whp/355 ft-lbs at 10psi. Whopping 350 miles!!!!! Working on your car more than driving it FTMFW!!!!
