Turbomaxima's Official Vortech SC Install Thread (lots of pictures)
As many of you have noticed I have posted questions on this board and on my350z.com all about the Vortech SC'er and the install process. I am not impressed with the instructions that come with the kit, and not a lot of people have the time to take pictures while doing an install so I am going to change that. This thread will be my ongoing Vortech SC "blog" with tons of pictures and daily updates; as parts come in, I start removing things, etc.
I hope that this becomes a valuable resource for people like myself for everyone down the road. If you are not a fan of threads with lots of useless pictures go ahead and hit the back button now, because I enjoy useless pictures.
We will call this Day 1 because nothing of importance really happened over the weekend besides spending money.
Auto Sport Wiring Harness
The elusive 3/8NPT 18-thread Tap
A nice pneumatic right-angle drill from Harbor Freight

And some "Before" Shots of the interior (I already dropped the gauge pod off at my interior shop to be wrapped.. sorry, no pictures)
A couple pictures of my front end 'sans' intercooler
And lastly for today, the stock engine bay 'sans' engine cover
Enjoy, and I'll catch you guys tomorrow with some updates.

Thanks guys.. Brett, feel free to email me any and all pictures to ssjztien@aol.com. I actually saw your install thread on some search a couple days ago, but obviously all of the images were down.

Day2
No updates, apparently the UPS guy decided not to drop off the gauges and oil pan spacer today. Have to get some oil at autozone tomorrow, may have to get some iridium plugs and a gates belt locally if CP Race doesn't get anything in stock. Hopefully I will have time to take off the bumper/intake piping and etc thursday or friday. Stay tuned..
