I need to learn how to work on my car so I would love to help and watch someone install my vortech tuner kit. Fuel pump, injectors with clips already soldered/wired, oil pan spacer and a Vortech Tuner kit. If any locals would like to give me a hand or two or three. I'll buy pizza, beer, liquor or whatever else thats needed to fuel this project. LMK fellas!

Thanks!

oh yeah, working on a getting some sort of base utec map so i can at least limp her home and then to a shop for tuning.

 

...When/why did you get a SC? Don't tell me this is because of the track day.. I'd love to see a SC run down the 1/4, though. Good luck and let me know how it turns out.

 

track day, i just suck, need more practice. ive been looking to go F/I for about 3 to 4 months now, before track day. chris, i'll let you drive my car at the track, i want to see what she is capable of with a good driver, lol. oh yeah, i just bought the supercharger yesterday off ryan350z. got a helluva deal that i couldnt pass up.

 

Well, as long as you're happy with your purchase, everything is good. And I'm flattered you consider me a "good driver," so thanks for the compliment. Hopefully, I get to see this newly SC'd Z before the next track day (estimated to be sometime in March or April).

 

If u run into snags on the install, PM me

 

oh yeah, just for some incentive. i will have a UR lightweight crank pulley and kinetix high flow cats left over after this install. i dont mind giving these away to people who help out.

 

oh yeah, i might have a nice eclipse mp3 headunit with a metra kit to give away too.

 

I'll chip in moral support...good luck! It is really a very easy install - just time consuming.

 

why are you giving away those parts? Do they not work with the s/c, because I have the pulleys and hfc and was thinking of going with the vortech.

 

The pulley, if it is an underdrive pulley, will have to go. Using it will underdrive the S/C as well and you will loose boost. The HFCs are OK.

 

cant use the underdrive pulley with the vortech, im getting test pipes to replace the cats.

 

FYI - Unorthodox Racing does make a lightweight pulley that is the same diameter as the stock one which you can use ith the Vortech kit. I would also suggest that if you get a OE diameter pulley, that you go with UR. Stay away from CNR and KJR pullies since there have been alot of reports of their pullies causing leaks.

 

Jason when are you looking at installing this? I would be interested but I am in LA for two weeks. I need HF cats.

 

i wont have the kit until early next week, it just got shipped out today. so it will be at least a week or two before i can have it installed.

 

I will do it when I get back. Do you have all the parts and is your utec installed? What about the SS box?

 

just got my utec, it hasnt been installed. from what ive been told, once i have the kit installed, i should be able to drive safely without a tune. its just gonna run like a turd cause the car will be running pig rich. once i have the install done, i'll take it to a shop to get it dyno tuned. no ss box. from reading the manual, it seems like a pretty easy install for someone who is competant work on a car. im trying to make everything as easy as possible. even got plug and play injector harnesses so there wont be any wiring or soldering involved. even the oil pan spacer i purchased already has a pretap for the vortech oil lines. bolt her up and she should be drivable.

 

Sounds good and I am a licenced mechanic and have every tool know to man.

 

im also going vortech in the next few weeks, i suckered some other z member to hlp me already. g/l with urs.


p.s. they are not suckers.

 

Too bad you're not in Houston; I'd help out for some cats.

 

Hey Jason,

Could you, if you don't mind, post a parts list. That you put together for the Vortech. I am looking at the same kit.

Thanks

Chris
