Thumbs up Sneak Peak At Vortech System - Pics and Videos!

Hi all,
I know many of you have been waiting for Vortech to come out with a system. It's almost ready. Here is a sneak peak at the system on the Wings West 350Z.

Anyone with any domestic car experience should know that Vortech has a much better rep than ATI. I predict this will be priced to compete with ATI's even while being of much higher quality.

On HP, I can't speculate if it'll post better numbers than the ATI, but I do know I'd much rather have a Vortech product.

I can't wait to see what it'll do.

The nice thing about the vortech systems, is depending on the trim they come with Water->Air intercoolers, which are great at transferring heat for the small size.

Looks very clean:



No intercooler pic? Guess after PE and Greddy come out we will have a clear idea of FI options. Another 2 years of warranty and I will be in the market.

Can't wait!!! Hopefully that is a SQ trim blower on there so we don't have to deal with all the whine of the regular S trim.

I sent an e-mail to vortech a while back and never got a response. Hmmm..

The head unit should be the SQ but I don't know what trim it is yet. From my understanding it will be intercooled but they may not be using the air-to-water aftercooler like what we are use to seeing. They actually had to take a different approach to this.

Oh, and is it just me or does it look like the kit has more moving parts than it needs to have?
