Does anyone know if APS is still in Business

 

coming in on back end of this thread and have not read all posts. where is info for an 05 5AT coupe Vortech setup? thank you for pointing a blind man in the right direction.

 

Ok I looked through each page and did not see the answer to my question. I put into the search engine and still nothing so here goes. Do I have to get a new front bumber with the opening for the intercooler if I go with FI.

 

It all depends on what bumper you have and what setup you end up going with.

 

I have the stock 2006 coupe 6mt I want to get a Turbonetics ST kit im just wondering if im going to have to get a new bumper also.

 

You dont NEED a new front bumper but it would give you much better cooling and greatly reduce the chance of heat soak. Several cars with single front mounts run a OEM bumper. Turbonetics G35 kit also comes with a shroud and fans for the Intercooler.

This the only picture i could find of the fans

 

ok cool thank for the help!

 

Here is one installed

 

ok i have Oil in intake tube between SC and intercooler is this normal?? also i don't know if this is related but my boost gauge has a a light that lets me know when i hit my predetermined boost pressure (set at 4psi) and is comes on at 20 psi of vacuum?? please help!!! the HKS SC was on the 04 G35 Coupe when i bought is so i don't know much about it yet, going on 1 month old

 

Any info on Vortech V2/V3 or the Momentum S. Turbo Kit?

 

What info are you looking for? We sell them both and would be happy to provide you with any info you want.

Momentum is making the best turbo kit on the market right now PERIOD. There kits have proven amazing kit, performance, sounds and durability. If you look at pictures of their kits, they speak for themselves as far as quality. I also forgot to mention, this kit is up there with the reliability of a Vortech kit. It has been running on their test vehicle for 50k miles at 410whp and hasn't had an issue yet.

Vortech is the best FI choice for the money. You will get great gains and almost OEM reliability. You can make anywhere from 350-400whp on a Vortech kit and retain stock reliability. If you choose to though, Vortech can make 450+whp

Please feel free to ask any other questions!

 

Much appreciated for this info. On the first page, numbers + general info were posted about each kit:

As you can see, there is no info above for the Vortech [or Momentum]. From my research it looks like the Vortech V3 is pretty legit. What's the price difference over the V2?

Also, I have only recently heard about the Momentum kit, but all positive things.

I want to go FI, but I am not ready yet (financially). Reliability is first and foremost my number 1 priority, as my car is my DD. I don't plan on going past 400HP, at least in the near future. Now, you say 400HP at the wheels is reliable? Is it possible to reach this with just the Vortech or Momentum kits and no other mods?

My second concern is money. You mentioned that the Vortech is the best for the money. What is the difference in price between the V3 and the Momentum Kit?

Pros/Cons? What kind of numbers 0-60 or 1/4 miles can be expected (no other mods currently)?

Thanks for your time! I'm still doing research, very noob when it comes to FI

 

Vortech Kit

Vortech is a good strong kit, really the best bang for the buck out there for a daily driver. Their tuner kits come in at under $4000. You can always turn up the boost (downsize the pulley) for up to 500whp (depending on dyno) but they are capable of making around 400whp reliably.

Tuner Kit vs. Complete Kit
The complete kit is more for someone looking for warranty and longevity. Out of the box this kit will make 340-370rwhp and require no extra tuning or anything. However the downside is that as soon as you wish to make more power, the complete kit fuel setup is now rendered useless and needs upgrading. Keep in mind replacing the pulley on the blower will void your supercharger warranty.

V2 vs V3
It is mostly preference. The V3 is self lubricated and does not require you to tap off the oil pan. This is great for a street car, for track cars they still recommend the V2 though. You need to change the oil in the Vortech every 5000 miles, which stinks because it is out of sync with 3k car oil changes. No change in cost between the two.

I have no idea what record setting numbers are. I can tell you the majority of our customers see 400-450whp on their daily driven cars.

Momentum Performance

I can't say enough good stuff about this kit. It is new to the market though, so we have not gotten to witness alot of people running it. Our racer Kevin Parlett is currently running the Momentum kit on his G35 Coupe track car. The GT35R that comes standard in their setup is capable of up to 600whp before it starts to run out of breathe. However, you can always buy their turbo upgrade kit instead. It comes complete with a HTA GT3794R w/ Tial Housing, this kit should be capable of up to 800whp, although they have not hit what they consider to be peak numbers. Their base tune car that they run on 8.5psi (410whp) has been running for 50k track and street miles over 2 years. They have yet to have any problems with the car and have been running it on a fully stock block.

Momentum Performance Full kits include

Garrett GT35R with TiAL 1.03 A/R stainless v-band housing
