Vortech kit questions

I was thinking of buying a used vortech kit off of a 350Z. Has anyone done this and had problems?

With the complete kit do I need to upgrade injectors or should the vortech additional fuel pump be enough?


Also what about oil, did you guys tap the stock oil pan or just buy a oil pan spacer to solve that issue?

Thanks for any input on the vortech supercharger kit install and any other info you can share that you would not do again or buy before install etc.

i dont suggest buying a kit off of a 305z. i am not sure the fitment is 100%, but i MAY be wrong. also, make sure its a non revup or a revup, whichever matches your car.

if i were you id get a tuner kit. its tuner friendly, and you can upgrade anything you want.

as for oil, i tapped the block. other options are avalible, such as getting an oil pan spacer, or getting the new V-3 blower, which is self contained.

the install isnt as bad as it sounds. as long as you have the tools, some knowledge, and extra hands to help, you should be fine.

loosen (but dont remove) the 14mm nut on the idler pulley then under the car loosen the 12mm idler adjuster nut. the serp belt will become slack
