- you'll need to get a non-revup bracket
- the charge piping may be a little different where it enters & leaves the intercooler

Here you go...I just posted this in another thread.

"We have done this conversion before. Now, lets see....

The things that are the same:
* Head Unit
* Intercooler
* Discharge Assembly
* Fuel Pump Assembly
* Air Intake Assembly & Filter

Things that are different:
* Main Mounting Bracket Assembly (Around $579.00)
* FMU Assembly (Just needs to be recalibrated and converted to the spring model which cost around $53.00)
* Chip/Stand Alone (Around $810.00)
* Pulley on the blower (Around $89.00)
* Cog Belt ($46.00)


See, the good thing about both kits is that they use a lot of the same parts. And Vortech makes it easy, by allowing us to buy the individual assemblies that are needed. So it will cost around $1,600.00 to convert a Rev-up to a Non Rev-up model. And it should function the same as if you bought the whole complete system.

You just need to speak to the right people. =)"

Well...this is what I do for a living...I sell blowers and the parts for it. =) And being Vortech's largest distributor I tend to know a little more than the average person....and having a 350z with a Vortech on it, also helps too...lol

But, yea it can be done. You just got to see if the extra cost is worth it.

I'm just happy I got to help you out.

Nope, sorry. No one will have those seals. Vortech will not sell any internal parts for their blowers. So finding the correct seal is a big pain in the butt.

Why not just buy someone's used DE 350Z kit? Unless you're getting an incredible deal on that G35 kit, it seems like a lot more trouble/expense than its worth.

On the other hand you may be able to resell some of the G parts to someone trying to do the opposite of what you are.
