The V3 has self-contained lubrication system. Fluid needs to be changed every 7500miles.

No worries, glad to see that they are helping you out. It's upsetting to see so much money invested and not having any support after the sale!

Keep us posted on the outcome.

Not sure where you got your info. But the Si trim is an upgrade from the SC trim. Unless SC isn't SCi. The Si impeller is similar to the 928. I think there is a thread/dyno on 350Z comparing them both.

Here is a comparison from Vortech, on specs...


V-3 SCi V-3 Si


Max Speed: 53000 RPM 52000 RPM

Max PSI: 17 PSI 22 PSI

Max Flow: 1050 CFM 1150 CFM

Max Power: 725 HP 775 HP

Peak Efficiency: 75% 78%

The Stillen on is the SCI, I think kinda sux not having to look at but found this ,


Stillen Supercharger kit


•Vortech V-3 Centrifugal Supercharger Unit
•Stillen purpose designed cast-aluminum intake manifold with long runners for increased torque
•Complete system includes pre-assembled Vortech V-3 supercharger assembly, air intake with polished air charge pipe and genuine K&N intake filters, fuel injectors, high-flow fuel pump, air-to-water intercooler, UpRev ECU Tuning cable/software and detailed installation instructions.
•Optional three-year/36,000-mile powertrain warranty
•Made in the USA
•50-state emissions legal (E.O. Number D-436-17)

Although the Vortech V-3 SCI model has physical dimensions equal to the S-Trim supercharger, the impeller speed potential efficiency on the V-3 SCI model is slightly improved over the S-Trim for increased mid to top end power and uses a V-belt design, which is regarded as a much quieter system.

Forgot to mention, I'm almost positive the 928 spins to 60K from what I remember.

I agree with Tyler on this. However, you won't need to change anything but the tune on an upgraded impeller but it will void your warranty from stillen/vortech. Best to just get it repaired and back on the road so you can enjoy it!

Thanx guys, Tyler,

But I have all the parts already, The cog pulleys are from Vortech, Vortech is doing the rebuild and the upgrade( I hope) T trim I think, I still have to verify what modle SC I have ..

I have already purchased all the supporting mods:

34 Tooth Count Jackshaft Pulley
30 Tooth/35mm Supercharger Pulley
idler assembly from a 03-05 350z bracket
Gats belt Part numbe 560 8M GT2
Bosh EV14 Injectors 850 CC
UPREV MAF's
NGK plugs DILKAR8A8
Frozen boost.com Heat exchanger--#WAT001026 W/ inlets
An of course Retune @ Kaizen. Shoting for 480 WHP
I am also tossing around the idea of custom making an new larger intake pipe to the SC 2.75, Just need someone to build it?

Glad this worked out in your favour... too bad it took them saying no first before finally saying yes.

ok, I found last night was on a Mustang forum. They had some pretty serious results. I just hope I get the same , The typical results , Guys where seeing 3PSI at 3k after they where seeing 5-6 PSI( Depending car) @ the same RPM.

An my Stillen air intake is off to S&R this morning to be traced for a lager intake 2.75 instead of the small 2.0.
