looks good and congratulations, why did they run the air conditioning line or whatever line that is, over the intake tubing? that looks kinda weird.

 

nice and clean! love the RH's!

 

Oh yeah, and watch your dip stick in the cog belt. I just bent mine out of the way.

 

sexy!. cant wait untill i get mine(prob 2 more months). so far its you and randy with the vortech around here. nice. then robert has the procharger(thats roberts car right?). sweet non the less, just makes me want mine more.

 

John,

Thanks. Did you do the whole install at Carboys (supercharger too?). I was looking at Grubbs.

 

Yea I did the whole install at Carboy...Very good shop. Highly recommended.

Thanks for all the tips and suggestions, Ill see if I can't get to that tension bolt tomorrow when I get up...hopefully this is the solution...if not, I'm gonna order that gates belt and hope that fixes it. hmm, I should probably do it anyways.

 

[QUOTE=Nismoboy]So yea, I finally got my car back last saturday...I haven't got on it yet, I'm gonna wait a bit...I'll probably drive for like 1k miles (currently at 450 since saturday lol) and take my car back and get it dyno'd and tuned...I can't wait to find out my numbers...I hopeing at least 375whp, if i'm lucky.

Re-cap on the mods for those of you who don't know:

Vortech Supercharger (8lb Pulley)
Edge Racing Torque Converter
Technosquare Upgraded ECU (L-Spec Flash)

BTW, my belt is already sounding like its slipping, in the mornings when I start it up or after it has sat for awhile and I start it up, I hear a loud screech for about a minute then it goes away...so its slipping right? I think I found the solution searching around here but I just want to make sure...I just need to replace my serpentine belt with the Gates K060935 belt right? and how difficult is it to replace? what tools are needed? Thanks.

Here's some pics...enjoy!


Beautiful ride bro...this is one of the nicest coupes I've seen. What kind of wheels are those? Can you post side profile pics?

 

They're 3pc. Racing Hart M5's
19x8.5 +13 offset in the front (includes +25mm H&R Spacer)
19x9.5 +17 offset in the back.
Dunlop SP9000 245/35/19 F
Dunlop SP9000 275/35/19 R
Tein S.Tech springs
No rubbing whatsoever.

I actually posted these a while back...but here ya go...

 

Those are still my favorite pics of the G - it really makes me want to get some professional pics taken of my ride...

Where can I find more information about Carboy? I was under the impression that SGP was really the only guys in Houston that could handle G & Z F/I installs... would you mind PMing me what they charged you for the install? I'm sure they could handle a APS S/T install if they did the Vortech (I think they should be pretty similar in difficulty)

 

and btw, if you wanted your tranny to last, you should have gotten the Valve body upgrade instead of the TC upgrade - that's where the increased strength matter most (stock = rated at 350hp @ flywheel; upgraded = 500whp+)

 

Your car looks sick! I had some work done at carboy (on my TL-s) - and recognized the first pics.

Looking at you car makes me want to do the same to my coupe. Hopefully if we get another meet in Houston, you can make it. Love to see it in person.

 

Even though his work was done at Carboys, I'd still recommend Grubbs for the install...they stand behind their installs and their access to resources others CAN'T access is phenomenal...just my $.02...

I was going to ask the same thing Tig asked, why's that hose running OVEr the intake pipe like that. This is a pic of my engine bay how I've seen it run on every other Vortech'ed G.
