Ordered VORTECH KIT today, my conscence got the best of me about Dreamworkes
Lol, funny stuff.
Anyways Kevin, I was kidding about the N20 I hope you caught that, it's the same thing I did N20 to FI.
"hey 12sec..........do you know any tuners around that have the software to tune the splitbox?"
Henry at Motorsports Dynamics on Arden Way. They tune GReddy too and have a Dyno. EJ also knows and vouches for them and he had lunch with Tadishi at the last SEMA.
Should of went to the track. I staged with a 2002 Yellow Mustang GT (V8.) He ran an embarrasing 13.8 and he has two more cylinders!!
I'm excited for you, Peas!!!!

Oh and by the way I was only referring to warranty of the labor on the install...

ya and what im saying is ROSEVILLE AUTOMALL had one sitting on there floor for sale with full warrenty from the factory BRAND SPANKIN NEW......ZERO MILES........so basically they are selling the install with a full warrenty.............at least FUTURE NISSAN at the ROSEVILLE AUTOMALL WAS. I can foresure say NO DEALER has sold a VORTECH or ATI kit from the dealership and warrentied it. May have installed it but not warrentied it. The difference with a VORTECH or ATI kit compared to a STILLEN unit is HUGE as far as reliability goes and that is the FACTS. Yes I did purchase a VORTECH kit but I dont care becuase I am a person who is very very causious and I cant spell either very good......

I even wrote to ATI and asked them, as a UK resident, where the 350Z has only been available for 5 months, if they would like to fit their own system - the only cost to them would be airfare for the Technicians ( a few hundred $)...........I got an Email back stating that 'A Factory fit would prove nothing - problems with the Pro-Charger are explainable....' which was basically laying the blame on the customer doorstep.
I got concerned about Pre-Sales attitude, let alone after Sales !!
So now ATI is out, VORTECH will be the next system I may consider.....thanks for your posting.

OMG, I cant belive ATI even responded to that email. So.... on a completely different subject alltogether, anyone working at sony in Japan wanna fly to vegas and hook up my home theater??
You what, I really didn't trust the Vortech kit at first. Then I heard about his splitsecond box that they are using, that is TUNEABLE!
Coming from the guys that made that funky FMU with no tuneablity, this is news. I'm also thinking to install myself and take it to a dyno with R4 software on the side.

They claimed to be producing all these F/I 2003 350Z's with 400+hp,yet not one car has been rumored to even exist..Any company thats in the BRONX NY is a scam..

And in an earlier post, you said to "trust" you that DW is BS--why is that? Do you have some secret information that no one else has?
How about trust ME. Even thought I don't drive a 350, I'll be sure to post dynos etc. of the Dream Workes stage 2 SST turbo kit here. Then, you can get back to me with your knowlege. Sound fair?
what is this split second box you guys are talking about? i keep seeing it posted, and have an clue that it is probably a black box, like an SAFC, but what exactly is it? is it shipped with these kits?
those are soem pretty impressive numbers for the SC guys.
thanks

Nope. Not BS. My stage 2 Spec V turbo kit is being shipped this week. Set backs happen to the best companies. Particularly when you are launching more than a supercharger for the 350Z.

yes it includes the intercooler and the splitsecond box is the device that retards the timing and adjust a/f ratios so you dont blow up..........from my understanding, Vortech added extra safe margins in the kit from the factory as far as retarding the timing, thus you only seeing 320-330rwhp from the factory kits..........tune the timing and A/F ratios a bit and you can get 360rwhp pretty safely I beleive. You could push it beyond that with little ease and still be safe probably. R4 is the windows based software you can get directly from www.splitsec.com to tune the box with. I will be having fun in about 5 days.....

Why the wait? Is it just shipping times or is it being drop shipped from Vortech directly? Just curious.

It should be interesting to see if you miss the neck snapping NOS when you race 1/4mi now.
Your not going to keep the NOS with the Vortech are you? that would be wild!
