[SOLD]FS: Complete vortech V2 T trim HD super charger kit
GT4 Zed replied to GT4 Zed's topic in 350z Parts For Sale
Just to clarify as the inquires I've got so far seem to suggest I'm selling both DE and Revup parts. My kit is revup but if the buyer is DE I will get all the stuff to make it compartible. Namely bracket which will be brand new. I have all the idler pulleys/ required and 1 or 2 new ones which I'll throw in. I'll also provide the correct belts either new or used or both as I will not need them. Same goes with the other stuff which is listed as optional or new. If you want it I'll get it but it's not compulsory. I'm not a trader and just trying to sell my kit but I get stuff at good prices from the US. Thanks and keep it coming. -
Just thought I'll join the party since there's so much sc talk going on! Big savings to be had and a higher spec kit with HD race bearings. This kit capable of 500+ whp with a forged engine if you plan this in future and currently running 430whp/370lbft torque at a measly 6k rpm. (I'm using a 2.87 pulley and bigger fluidampr crank pulley making almost 16psi now) It will come with a 3.12 pulley so you make 10-12psi with the OEM crank and a safe sub 450whp/400whp at redline. My kit has been on the car since May last year and has covered under 4k miles only. It is running flawlessly and has no bearing or seal issues. I'm selling because I want more!!! I have a built engine in the US since last year but now want to push over 600whp! It will take over 20 psi to get there but V2 T trim has a max 26psi and rev max 55krpm will be in its inefficiency range so I need to upgrade to the V7 YSi trim which is rated to 30psi. For comparison, the self lubricated V3sci which comes with smaller std bearings and rated to 17psi max/52k rpm max and not suitable for heavy use would be out of puff by 14psi! I will need a custom 8 rib pulley setup and 3" intercooler pipe work and a bigger bypass valve( mondo) or x2 race bypass valve which comes as standard with the V2 or V3 kits to make the best of the beast hence I need to start from scratch. As you will see from the parts list below it was specced for heavy use and reliability no expense spared to hit +500whp but I already know it's not enough for my goals. What you will get: Hardware: - V2 T trim sc headunit. Painted black with heat dispersant paint. - bracket for DE(new) or Revup (used-Powdercoated black or anodised) - bracket pulleys/idlers for revup or DE - 3.12 pulley. 2.87 can be available if you have balls. - intercooler pipe work with std 2 piece vortech intake pipes - powdercoated black or optional one peice 3" intake pipe upgrade - uprated spearco intercooler painted black with heat dispersant paint - 28"x7.9"x3.5" core. (Stock spearco is 20x7.9x3.5) - Max flow racing bypass valve. - high quality vibrant performance silicon couplers - high quality stainless steel vibrant performance T bolt clamps - Uprated oil drain and feed lines with AN fittings or standard vortech drains - x 2 uprated HD gates cog belt (1 used and 1 brand new) - brand new HD gates green serpentine belt for either DE or revup - Brand new std vortech filter (flows 300hp) or optional custom CAI with k&n filter flow rated for 540hp Supporting mods: - Optional brand new AAM oil pan spacer with ports. - injector dynamics 725cc injector and brand new pigtails to plug and play to your loom. - Optional brand new stage 0 CJM return fuel system. This includes a fuelab fuel pressure regulator. - Optional brand new walbro 255lph or upgrade to Aeromotive 340lph pump. - Used complete custom 19" row Setrab oil cooler kit complete bolt on with braided -10 lines and Aeroquip AN fittings and mocal thermostatic sandwich plate or optional brand new Mishimoto or stillen oil cooler kit with thermostatic sandwhich plate. - Uprev MAF GT - optional PCV mod components: mini filters, HD oil/fuel pipe, one way check valve. - brand new NGK 1 step colder iridium plugs or upgrade to used or new HKS superfire racing iridium plugs.(heat range 8) - optional Timrod bracket stiffener new or used to prevent vortech bracket flex which leads to shreading belts underload. - optional used stillen engine damper I may have left out some bits as I have loads of stuff but essentially you get everything to install the kit and go off to tune. Just ask. I can also provide fitting (with my "zed boosters" crew - Darren and Octet) competitively and a base map so you can just drive off to your tuner. Between us we have installed more vortech sc than anyone else. I want to make sure that whoever gets the kit just has one-stop from fitting to tuner. We need a weekend to do this and its a drive in and out service. We insist you are present so you can get your hands dirty and also learn about the setup. I will also do a free compression test health check so you know how healthy your engine is before you start boosting. Kit will be available within 2 weeks from payment to give me time to uninstall and get the V7 YSi goodies from my boys at CZP in the US. I can also get you as a one off other stuff you may need to support your build eg gauges etc otherwise see the traders here or order it yourself. I will consider splitting parts on the supporting mods list once the sc sells. At that point I'll put item prices but feel free to pm for any inquiries at this point. I understand some people are reticent when buying used stuff at great cost but so I will stand by my sc and will cover half shipping cost to and from vortech and the std bearing rebuild cost of $300 if I install the sc and within 6 months of purchase. Note: Vortech does not warranty HD / tuner kits. You only get full warranty with their full kit. The HD race SC are bullet proof unless you are mechanical unsympathetic and do not follow the sc care as recommended by vortech. I will include a PDF copy of this to the buyer and will add one on my vortech reliability thread for the vortech community. I also will provide an installation PDF if you want to DIY POA depending on what you need. But guide price for everything including installation and base map would be £6000. Add £500-£750 for Uprev licence and tune and you have a good deal. It cost me more first time to do purchase all this. Many sale combination are possible to fit your budget but I will only sell supporting mods after the tuner kit has sold or firm offers. However the 725cc injectors are up for sale and its £500ono delivered. Within reason I can travel to the potential buyer to show the kit in action and can get you to drive so you experience the insanity on offer. The car/engine bay as of tonight: On the car after original install: Why I built it in the first place. Pics after recent inspection and service before Wales/ Nurburgring : Everything came off: All clearances rechecked and lines protected: Bracket and sc: Bracket and pulleys/idlers for revup: Pipe work Monster intercooler Custom drain pipe and feed pipe. Naked sc: More pics available on request. Thanks GT4 Zed( Bennett)

Hey mike, thanks for letting me know👠how could they say it was short?! I posted it over the counter where it was weighed and I paid the stated amount! Grundy/chubby man thanks for your support! Stop stirring you two; bradders and husky😜😜 What's up with you dawg? Are we friends again?😇
-
Wow! Pinch me!! I would have never thought there would be so many takers for the vortech sc! Nice work boys and good business Chris👠However I can't see what the fuss and squabbling is with belts etc! There are more important considerations to look at such as supporting mods and octet put a link to his. Coming back to belts I would recommend the HD gates belt for both the serp and gilmer(cog). They are 400% stronger and only slightly more expensive. I would say get your set up buttoned up and then you can spec this belt on later for better traction and longevity. Read as much as you can here and US but feel free to ask or pm any of us with hands on experience with this kit. Wrt fitting zed boosters( octet , Darren and myself) would be happy to help. Nuff said and good luck guys.

+10000 BTW when are you going? I'm there from the 26th till the weekend. Could give you a few banzai laps to give you some pointers and an honest assessment of you and your cars abilities and you can start to implement changes from there onwards.😎

Sorry if I misunderstood you. Apologies acceptedðŸ‘. Let's not let the war mongers here fan the flames even further. Excuse my French. 😇

Mate I don't normally get peed off but you are managing to do that! You were wrong and implicitly suggesting I want to fleece someone without taking due diligence to verify your sources and you have the guts to tell me not to get irritated with your backhanded apology? You are an imbecile! Would that be an overreaction from my part? Mods can you clean the thrash of my FS post! Thanks.

If it comes from you Alex i'll take it as the law. cheers mate. Thanks for all the suggestions chaps looks like ill go with the clubstorts then

You are wrong! looks like the same is not the same. I really don't have any issue if indeed it was overpriced but that not the case and If you had read that listing before opening your gob you would noticed the description says "greddy style" and look at the pictures you can see the rough finish and smudged paint suggesting is very much thi are replicas and probably a poor one at that. Further researching you have shown you that only Tarmacsportz sells genuine greddy plugs in the UK AFAIK. I had an ebay one a while ago which snapped and luckily i didnt have to drill it out hence i ordered this from that states. Its the same %&*$ i see with wheel nuts, steering wheels. if its too good to be true it isnt.

Thanks Robbo. You are right about the CS finish and that bugs me too. My mind is telling to upgrade to the Tein super racing and then I'll have full 3way adjustability and EDFC. I will not go for Meister R or any of the like. You get what you pay for. I've had the HKS hypermax RS and too and its cheap crap on finish. The problem with these level of coilovers is the valving is not very good and makes for poor body control. The finish is also not great and they end up rusting or seizing. The Teins are good but KW is on a different level to this respect.

Vlad's Supercharged 350Z - pg20 Banzai Mag Feature
GT4 Zed replied to Vlad's topic in Member Build Projects
Cool it bro! I was not dissing you or the V3. Just talking from an engineering point of view. Yes the v3 makes life easier but a self lubrication is not adequate for heavy use hence its not on any of the vortech's HD range or in fact OEM SC setups. It's a sales angle for those who don't want to get their hands dirty. Anyway the key is a good install and now you have more than ample experience. The v2 is spoken for but I have to keep options open in case it falls through. I'll give you a shout asap👠-
Vlad's Supercharged 350Z - pg20 Banzai Mag Feature
GT4 Zed replied to Vlad's topic in Member Build Projects
Hang in the my Siberian friend! It will come good in the end. Do not believe that rubbish that the v3 is better than the V2 because its not! You just got unlucky and remained unlucky for sometime after the first. There are a few things you could have done differently and I know you've learnt a lot from the experience. Anyway you know my V2 Trim is yours later in the year when I step up to the big league V3 Ti or V7 YSi😜. We need to fix sometime so you can help me instal my gauges. I had a big box of goodies from the US today. Never had a problem buying from my contacts.😇 -
I've got: - Tein monoflex coilovers with EDFC and - KW V3. I got the Teins after sending my KW for an overhaul in Germany as I had a small leak from the rebound nut/screw on the top. This was likely my fault from original installation 3yrs ago when I used an airgun on the nut on top of the damper while fitting the top mount. It was always wet from the start but worked ok until last year I noticed the rebound was slightly off on that side. It was a good thing I read the manual before getting to do the others!! I should remember to RTFM!! Anyway long story short after waiting best part of 6 months it here! (It went AWOL in the KW factory!! ). Fully overhauled and guaranteed for 1 yr. The Teins are not on the same build quality level of the KW but they are more track oriented with an inverted monotube design, 2 way(damping and rebound on the same knob) and linear springs which I've uprated from 10kgs to 12kgs. The other thing is the EDFC which enables you to adjust damping from with the car at the click of a button. I've only used the on Bedford autodrome where it was well damped but that track is smooth. On A/B road or rough motorway its a bit crashy unless set very soft while makes it over-damped and you loose confidence to lean on them The KWs are very good on fast road driving and on the track because of its progressive springs and superior valving characteristic despite being a twin tube design but these springs also make it slightly less consistent for banzai track use. I have tons of experience with them on both fast road and a variety of track including the Ring. There are times when it feels underdamped and you loose connection to the surface and feel for available grip. I can't fault them though as that's not what it's designed to do. The KW clubsports are the upgrade for serious track use. The other superiority over Tein is the fact they are 3 way adjustable separately which means you can set it up perfectly for every road/track condition but its difficult and time taking to get right and the biggest bugbear is that you have to get under the car or remove the rear wheels to get to the compression knob! Need to make a though decision or wait till I get back from the Ring after Wales to decide which coilovers I want to keep! Or sell both and get the KW clubsports or the equivalent Tein super racing while retaining the EDFC. Any track gurus out there who can share their experience of a linear spring setup on aggressive track use will be helpful. The KWs have strong interest so its unlikely ill be advertising it if I decide to sell them but keep eyes out for the Teins as this may go too:)

Tarmac Sportz Vortech Supercharged GT86 Pics
GT4 Zed replied to Tarmac@TarmacSportz's topic in Other Cars
Nice work Chris! Well put together car. I know what you mean about show hence the stickers to advertise your whares otherwise its perfect👠I guess you running a conservative 250-270hp but that puppy should hit 290-300hp/210-230lbft if pushed. Get a striking wrap on it and it will sell itself I reckon👀 -
Looks like you all had a nice day guys despite the weather. Keep pics and vids coming👠Zhorno hope your damage is not too bad and hopefully you can laugh about it in Wales over some beers with everyone. Racing is a never ending lesson👀.

Vlad use a tyre calculate to work out what you need. I can tell you off head that a 265/40 and 285/40 will not work and you are unlike to find any tyre of that size in real life.
