Wish you all the best with your install, Fluidz.
I'm ordering my vortech tomorrow, so I should be one of the first, if not the first in the UK.
Just out of interest, are the silicon hose connectors in the vortech kits all blue?? seems that way in the pictures I have looked at. Need to know, as i am ordering the samco hose set, as well.

Hey Kevin, what's up with your car on the Horsepower Freaks website? I looks like they have something really screwed up.

Nice work!
I should be ordering my vortech along with some other kit, as soon as the company who is quoting me, gets back on the phone.
I'm also buying a set of Volk GT-C 19's while I'm on the case!
Anyone recommend a good outlet for me to get another quote from?
By the way, did you manage to get the colours on the silicone hoses, Fluidz??
Keep the info coming!

Baptist....are you sourcing the VORTECH in the UK or stateside ?

Out of interest I guess you considered the ATI alternative - any particular reason why you went VORTECH ??

I'm sourcing the kit stateside.
I have read good reports about vortech on other cars, and have seen the kit for the S2000 running.
I also liked the complete timing/fuelling solution on the vortech. The splitsec box is adjustable via a laptop and software, which is important to us in the UK being so in the dark about this car at present.
Eagle, I tried sending you a PM the other day, but your account wont let me do it.
I left a post also, for you to try and contact me. Just thought it maybe of some help for us to talk about the kit, as it seems it hasnt been done in the UK yet.
Will share any info i can to help.
Drop me a PM.

tig, the probability that a custom 350z program will work on your coupe is pretty low. Make sure you're on a dyno and exercise caution (including backing up your program first) if you try it.
