What am I looking at to install a Vortech SC kit. Ballpark cost figure including anything extra that will be needed. Do I need exhaust etc? You can point me to a thread if there already is one. I did a search and found tons of info, too much info to get a clear answer.

'03 G35 Coupe, 6sp, iso thermal with plenum spacer, pilot sports, z-tube,

Got a guy offering me an Apex exhaust system for $200. Would it go with it?

 

Sorry to say this bro but Search, Search, Search... I just got my Vortech And I searched and read for HOURS and HOURS to get the information I needed.... Just type in Vortech in the search engine and you will come up with ALOT...

Also go search on MY350Z.com as there are a TON of posts on the VORTECH over there as well!

GOOD LUCK.... I LOVE MINE!!

 

Theres wayyyyyyyyyy more stuff about the Vortech on my350z.com

 

Tons of info but nobody talks about what it cost them in the end. I don't wanna shell out for the kit yet only to find out I need thousands more to make it work properly. At the minimum what will it cost to do it right? Any ballpark figure to budget for?

 

Well it cost me $6000 for the kit, tune, dyno.
Other costs were new plugs (like $50) and JWT Oil Pan Spacer (forget how much).
Other than that I put no extra costs into my vortech. She's been running beautifully for the past 10,000 miles.

The vortech kit comes with pretty much everything you need. If you're running a modest boost then really don't have to upgrade other things. I'm running everything stock (except just got exhaust).

If you choose to go higher boost and higher output later on though...you will need to start changing and upgrade engine parts.

 

Thank You! I will continue reading but at least I have an idea for a budget though.

 

sent you a pm

 

Also figure in an Oil change, oil filter, and new plugs. I would at least upgrade to test pipes if you are running that system without an exhaust, if you decided against the Apexi.

Also I would purchase a Walbro LPH 255 fuel pump. The JWT spacer is 100 bucks.

 

check with sentry65 he know,s quite a bit about the vortech.or check with booger both are quite good with this kit.

 

Good info. Gracias!
