Not that long man really it probably wouldnt. Im sure it would take some time to do it but i guess it depends on the type of charger. Roots or syntrif. If you want to send me a PM and we can talk about it more but i wouldnt pay for 14 hrs of work

Played with an 09 FX35 on the freeway tonight. I cant imagine how fast the 50 is.... because the 35 ripped pretty well.

unless you have mad skills, a lift, and a big lot of tools, it will take you longer than 14 hrs. 14 hrs is basically a weekend project. It can be done, but based on my experiences with the kit, it will take longer.

Can the Vortech be installed just by taking off the entire front end?

Really not all the front needs to come off.... basically just the bumper and impact beam, it is pretty much a bolt on type kit.

Ahh, gotcha.


Question. I'm looking into getting Tanabe NF210's and SPC rear camber arms. Should I just bring both to a dealership at once or something so everything can get put on and aligned right away? or what should I do?

Where do you guys think i should look locally to find a pre 06 vq longblock?

A weekend and more guys... maybe some hot chicks to cheer you on.

Kinda pull the exhaust down to stretch the hole, and use the red straw that comes with the WD-40 to spray inside the rubber mount holes.

Thanks, man. Looks like I'll be doing that when it gets warmer. So what does the 40 do? Expands the rubber or helps slip the nipple through?

Look for scrap yards that have online directories for parts. :dunno:

haha ya thanks guys... ya paulgt2 with advanced race technology is where i ordered it and he suggested taking the front bumper and radiator out. he said do this so you can route the intercooler piping easier. although i did get the v3 blower so i don't have to drill the oil lines in the pan so that should save a little time. but ya im expecting it to take a week or so...

I really shy away from the dealers. Both can be installed in an evening on your own without working too hard/fast. But yes, do it all in one swipe. Just make sure they at least drive the car around the block a few times before they allign it. You need some forces on the springs to seat them in properly

Thanks Aaron. I'm hoping this will complete my exterior look for now so I can move on to smaller engine stuff. I still need a spacer. :icon43:
