As some of you may know, I've been looking into SC for a while now, but I'm still looking for some good sites to get quality infomation about this set-up.

Does anyone have detailed infomation, links, etc. That will help me in the long run!

 

Have looked at my350z.com's FI forum?

Wrah,

Best info seems to be on my350z.com. The #1 thing on Vortech (or any S/C) is tuning. I found the SS box program from Vortech is conservative and very safe (almost too conservative as it robs some usable HP). But it is based on (I believe) a stock G35. If you have other mods (plenum, headers, exhaust, etc.) that effect air & fuel, you will want to have the program tweaked using a dyno. I just added headers & plenum to my set-up and it REALLY leaned out and required re-tune to add more fuel to the mix.

Other common things I experienced were:
- loud BOV (blow off valve) - can be quieted with addition of a filter, etc.
- loud belts - you will have to tighted the belts a few times after initial installation. I think you can also find aftermarket belts that resist stretching better.

There really is a ton of info on the forums discusing these and other pointers. The Vortech is a great system for good, reliable HP. Most important: find a good installer/tuner, DYNO TUNE.

Good Luck!

Take a trip to Dayton to check out my Procharger...

Seriously, if you want to come check it out let me know. There is also a guy in Dayton with the Vortech on his Z.

Wrah,
I was wondering if you know of anyone in Columbus that is good for aftermarket installation and/or tuning. Not a S/C-just things like UR pulleys, Remote Starter, maybe nismo clutch/flywheel.

Good luck w/ your S/C endeavors

Thanks,

Do they carry Vortech?

 

Not sure but they do tuning.

I'll check them out.... Thanks for the heads up!

 

Your welcome Wrah. I may be down in Columbus the first weekend of November.

Wrah, not sure how soon you are looking to buy...

FYI:
There are two Vortech S/C 4 sale on parts/accessories.


Good Luck,

Yeah I saw those, my brothers got a deal I can't beat on a brand new kit. I don't think I'll be doing anything till spring now, or later this winter. I kinda sucks that I'll have F/I and snow at the same time.... if you know what I mean....

 

BTW... I talked to the guys over a passen, they tune everything and state they do have a vortech tech. I didn't like the comment, "hell we'll tune your lawn mower, if you got the money." Didn't catch me right...

 

That's my next problem..... Tuning! I feel more than confident that I can have a perfect install. I have everything I need, even a heated garage, but tunning is another story!

No I don't know of any good garages for any street setup in Columbus! That is major work for our cars!

 

How about this tuner? http://www.passenmotorsports.com/
