what is the cost for a vortech kit and anything else i would need to get it to run safely? im not looking for gobs of power (i probaly will down the road... its addictive) but i just want some more power in my pocket so i don't have to worry when i get little turbo civics on me like flies on ...... well i have a sedan 6mt. im not looking for install prices being that i am a mechanic and i have access to a lift. tuning now thats a different story. so all in all, im looking for all parts and tuning cost totaled up before i buy a kit and then need another couple grand to make it run right. thanks

I just bought one for 4350.00 but they said prices were going up.

 

i put this together a while ago.

jdj27x,

Did you go with one of the options from Steet Image? How is the Vortech compared to the Greddy TT - HP gain, daily driver?

 

no i actually did those my self, and the only place i would ever take my care is streetimage. I already got all of the gauges. (group buy right now ends the 15th of FEB!!! www.zeitronix.com/gb/G35.htm

My situation is like this.

I cant and will not be able to get new internals. So what is the point of getting a TT besides bragging rights, sounds, and looks? Nothing... The whole fun and amazing thing with turbos are how well u can get more power out of em,(boost control).

The vortech is going to be fast enough believe me. I dont need any kind of dragster i just want to be able to beat m3's and cars of that nature. My goal is to be able to drive my car everyday as i do now but have another 110+ hp.

I rather have less horsepower and more reliability.

 

This is the same reason I went with the Vortech. Install is happening right now....should get my car back on Monday. The only thing I am affraid of is that later on I will want more power......then I would have to buy TT and rebuild. I am not going waste all that money though. Even though I love my car with what I have put into the car so far, I could have gotten a C6 or stretched a little for C6 Z06......I am not whinning, I just can't believe am dropping so much money and will never get it back

 

For a safe out of the box experience, the Vortech is pretty good as is. You will need to spend about $300-$500 to have it professionally tuned, and it should generate about 375whp or so with a full exhuast and straight pipe.

Vortech recently took a price increase. I have seen the polished ones for $5000, and Satin for a few hundred less than that.
