Another Vortech V3 Setup...

Going from 340whp to 440whp in just two tuning sessions makes an incredible difference. My tuner was making some good gains (and less boost) by adjusting the intake cam timing. We had to call it a night before we got too crazy because we felt like we were already pushing the limits of my stock motor. This setup still has more power to be unleashed, IMO.Thanks! I'm glad I was able to put down some decent power.

nah, i was making more than that with no issues for well over a year and like 80 passes at the strip. i was like 451/405 on my UTEC. plus that max trq is pretty close to your redline so you dont spend alot of time at those rpms

Were those numbers from a dynojet?

I plan on going to the track as soon as I get a fuel damper fitting from CJM. I got the weds and DRs ready and waiting.
Had too much fun coming home from a big meet yesterday. I now have to deal with this...

Wow
sounds like rod knock....may have pushed your engine too much with the Vortech...
On the bright side...maybe time to build your engine and go for max power with the 928 blower...

cant watch the video, how bad is it? whats the new plan? havent driven my z yet with my si upgrade/2.87. its sitting at CIN motorsports awaiting new tune. if it bust im going with an LS. gl with your car.
Once I get into the new house, and can pinpoint what's up, I'll be able to start planning on what to do. 350z006 is selling his YSi, and I've been keeping my eye on it.

I'll post up as soon as I find out what exactly happened and future plans.

Thanks for the concern guys. So far, I haven't had any time(and funds) to investigate further. Between work and trying to purchase a new home, I haven't been able to do much. I think I may pull the oil pan on Memorial Day to see if I can find evidence.

well good luck man and keep us updated. on another note...do you still have that BLV for sale? i might be wanting it if you do. my car is still at the shop and now that Z days is over, they can finally start to mess with it.
Yes, I do still have that BLV. It's still BNIB. PM me once you're ready to pick it up!
After everything I've been through with my V3 blower, I've decided to go with:

Because I need a new shortblock, I figured i'd upgrade to the YSi. Currently, my goals are to make as much power as I can safely on pump gas.
Props to 350z006 for providing such a great deal on this blower. He even had the blower re-inspected before shipping it to me!
I guess I need to re-title this thread or start a new one since I'll no longer be running a V3 blower.
