Ok, so installing the vortech today, i was tightening the feed nozzle and it snapped off in my hands. It's the brass one and the nozzle broke off at the start of the threads where it becomes a long tube. I was using a small wrench and barely had it tight. It snapped as soon as it had resistance.

My car is on the lift and in pieces. I need to get it out of the shop and into my garage. Anyone have one of these i can buy and pay for overnight shipping or something? The new stainless ones are ridiculously expensive. 60$ for a stupid nozzle.

thanks for anyone that can help!

 

yep easy to break..I've done it before. I just purchased a new brass one directly from vortech.

 

ya, i called and ordered one. 59$ for that thing. It's stainless now for more durability.

Just sucks my car has to sit on the lift for another week. I would have had it finished and out of the shop yesterday. I just hope i get the oil feed nozzle before my dyno appointment next week.

 

Just order from vortech or superchargersonline.com

I know FI isn't cheap.

 

That nozzle sucks. I went through the same thing.

 

ya, it's just a bummer when all i have to do is put the nozzle in, put on the pressure line then all my fender parts.

so close....

 

I ordered the stainless steel one from superchargeonline.com, it's alot stronger. By the way, I broke 2 of the brass one, brass one is suck

 

wow, i'm glad i didn't break 2 of them.

so how did you block off your oil feed when it broke? i took all my sending unit apart and everything to block off that feed line so i could run the car.

 

I did the same thing. Called up Vortech, they wanted $57 for the same brass one, or $59 for stainless. I went with stainless.

 

How much are these types of feed nozzles for turbos? I think 59$ for this little piece of metal is a little extreme. I was thinking like 15-20$ when it broke and i had to order it but got a rude awakening.
