Adrian@TORQEN Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 (edited) In the attention of the Vortech SC owners!! Darren-B, wizard, Sam Mcgoo, evilscorp, Keyser, The Chubby Ninja, OsakaBen, Vlad, anyone else I've missed? As some of you are aware Wasso tried to build this pipe for a few good months, but was let down by the manufacturer. I finally managed to get a manufacturer in the US that is able to source the pipe in two different versions for us. v1. 3" all the way with a Samco Sport coupler/reducer to 2.75" Suitable for people that haven't had the car yet tuned, more volume of air in the AFM, better control of the AFM sensor voltage when tuning. Also suitable for the guys that will soon have their cars retuned going for a smaller / bigger pulley. Lead time - 3-4 weeks v2. 3" and stepped down to 2.75" at the end where is goes into the blower This is suitable for the Vortech owners that just want the single 1 pipe and don't need a re-tune of their car I will be getting some prices depending on how many of you are interested. The more of us, the cheaper we can get it. Please state your interest bellow: 1. octet - v1 2. GT4Zed - v1 - unpolished 3. OsakaBen - v1 4. evilscorp - v1 - unpolished 5. Darren-B - v1 6. Keyser - v1 - unpolished - might need a second pipe, details to follow 7. Vlad - v1 - unpolished 8. Sam McGoo - v1 polished 9. 10.

Vlad Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Hmmm...ent got actual S/c yet :lol: I was aiming, eventually , for around 420whp... Would I really need it? Really like pics tho...I like shiny bits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT4 Zed Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Well done for the relentless search for someone to make this pipe! This would have saved me eventually tuning the car twice. The V1 is a must have if you are brave to shoot for big numbers with the 3.12/2.87 pulley!!! Otherwise the V2 is a direct replacement and means less chance of boost leak for having so many joints. Note that mine should be non-polished as I will powdercoat it black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OsakaBen Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 (edited) I can't make my mind up!!! Ahhhhh!! I want one but I don't know how far I want to push my car yet D: Put me down for one anyway lol Edited May 22, 2013 by OsakaBen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian@TORQEN Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 (edited) Vlad, few reasons why I decided to get it: 1. Cosmetic - looks nicer in the engine bay instead the three pipes joined by two couplers, lots of clamps, etc: 2. Less chance of leaking boost as it happened to me when the original Vortech clamps came off on boost. Also that caused some problems with the pulley cutting into one of the couplers and clamps. 3. For v1 - more air volume for the AFM, specially for smaller pulleys setup 3.12" and 2.87" when the MAF GT sensor risks to be maxed out on tuning. More details on my build thread. 4. The AFM sensor it's a bit further away from the engine hence keep it a bit more cooler. Edited May 24, 2013 by octet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Hmmm I see! Yea, I was planning on going to 3.12 pulley etc etc... Will have to get one...but depending on price ill see if ill get it now, before I even got s/c kit or after! As don't want to spend hundreds of £ before even having main thing lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian@TORQEN Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 You do realise this is a group buy and as there are not hundreds of SC zeds in the UK, probably it will be the first and the last Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilscorp Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I hate you....... I don't need this... I am happy with my power.... A V1 unpolished like GT4 Zed would be nice... if the price was right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian@TORQEN Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 Love you, too, mate! Ideally, if we can get 10 people interested, I can try my magic on prices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I'm interested, but again- depending on price mate! So count me in if you want, but ill be 50/50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilscorp Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Is there enough space for the 3" pipe all the way down to the other pipe? Need to view my engine bay to remind me how cramped it is in there. Also need to ask Mark at Abbey his thoughts on how well this will work for me with bits I might buy; (3.12 pulley and ati fluid dampener crank pulley) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also need to ask Mark at Abbey his thoughts on how well this will work for me with bits I might buy; (3.12 pulley and ati fluid dampener crank pulley) Yes, it will fit. It is already on use on other cars in the US.

The one you posted looks good but would over spin my blower need to find the best combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
