tomzzzcattle Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Hi, Just wondering if anyone knows if changing the air filter on a Vortech S/C is a bumper off job ? or is there an easier way ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blobbish Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 you may be able to change them from underneath depending. I'm yet to do my first service but will attempt this method first but I have an Amuse bumper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mouthwash Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 You can get it off without taking anything off. The guys at abbey know the technique, give them a shout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilscorp Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 You can take it off without the bumper off, You have to crush it slightly though to remove it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm yet to do my first service but will attempt this method first but I have an Amuse bumper I presume from his profile picture he has a vq35, so the supercharger layout is different from yours.

tomzzzcattle Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share Posted May 4, 2016 Thanks for that, and yes it is a 350z DE. Would crushing the new one slightly to re-fit damage it though ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilscorp Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 It probably does very slightly, hence why I only ever took mine off when it was time to change to a different easier to clean filter setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilscorp Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Quick google shows you this is how people do it, you can see the ridges are no longer 100% straight. http://www.wreckedmagazine.com/images/project350z/350zsupercharger.install2.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well spotted. Didn't even notice it was for a 350z. My bad. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
