so i think im finally ready to get the vortech running on my car! been long enough..

Quick background. '05 g35x. picked up in april '08.
currently engine mods:
Crawford cast upper plenum
stillen intake/ztube
test pipes
HKS axleback

What i have:
rebuilt vortech v.2 w/ FMIC & piping
3.12 pulley
utec w/ map selector
transmission cooler
440cc injectors
255LPH fuel walbro


as of right now, i got an osiris license and getting an NA tune for now. also getting the transgo valvebody upgrade done.

my questions-
do you think its worth it to upgrade the blower to the v3? any ideas on how much that might cost?
in reading through the manual, it says something about a new fuel pump. the only pump i have is the walbro, doesnt that just drop in the tank?
anyone have any hints or tricks for doing this? im hoping ive covered alot of it, i suppose we will see though...
any suggestions would be greatly appriciated

 

The walbro fuel pump will replace the stock fuel pump with some minor modifications. Have you considered 1 step colder spark plugs?

 

thanks! that was the other question i had. im pretty sure i have to change plugs, these have at least 30k on them. the vortech manual says use the same plugs, but AFAIK you go one or two steps colder, depending on power levels. recommend one step?

 

You'll want to use 1-step colder plugs.

You should be talking to your tuner and together choose the best course of action.
