Vortech G35: NICOclub Project G35 gets boost!

[Frank @ VORTECH]

Jacko3,

I agree with you that the 05-06 Rev up kit should bolt up, but until we confirm that here I couldn't assure you that it would. The only major difference maybe the tune for the 07.

Frank, I'm interested in a Vortech for my 05 6MT coupe...what kind of deals do you have??

[MaximA32]

Email sent Kenny.

Awesome! I'm stuck at work until 6 but I'll check it out as soon as I get home.

[Frank @ VORTECH]

Hey Joe,

We only sell at retail. You'd be better off going through a distributor to buy the kit. Give Forged Performance a call, they buy from us and are in your area.

[MaximA32]

Hey Frank, I never got any such email.

[Jacko3]

Frank:

Thanks. I will try to be patient until the tuning for the 2007 model superchargers is accomplished.

[Frank @ VORTECH]

kenny,

I sent it to the email address in your profile. It didn't come back to me. I'll resend it.

[MaximA32]

Thanks boss. I reset my spam filter last night. I'm thinking that it may have been automatically deleted. I'll check when I get home again. Just sucks that I can't check my email here at work.

Frank -

Are any of our current vendors Vortech distributors? http://www.nicoclub.com/subpages/addirectory.shtml

[Frank @ VORTECH]

Yes, sorry fellas. Gotta support teh Nico Vendors!

Nico vendors that are Vortech dealers are:

Injected Performance & STILLEN

Check with them for pricing on Vortech systems for your G/Z.

[Frank @ VORTECH]

Check it out guys...new install vid on a 06 G35. http://www.vortechsupercharger...=true

[MaximA32]

I got your email Frank. Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, just not going to be in the budget for the Max. I need to get it paid off and then find something I can have a bit more fun in.

[AZhitman]

Beautiful, thanks Frank!

Guys, I've done business personally with Injected AND Stillen, and they're both awesome...

Hit up Marty at Injected or Kyle at Stillen for your Vortech!!!

Frank,

I just ordered my Vortech full kit for a 2005 G35 Coupe 6MT Revup yesterday and didn't have an option for a V-3 supercharger.

My kit isn't fully together yet and doesn't yet have a ship date.

Is there any way to change it to the V3 to save me some install issues? Are there instructions yet for the V3? What changes about the installation?

Thanks.

Hi, I was the guy you talked to yesterday when you called to check on the status of your order. We can still change the supercharger from a V2 to a V3 for you. Make sure you call your distributor and have them call us to make the change.

We're still in the process of updating all of our manuals to include V3 instructions. All you do is skip the oil feed line and oil drain section in the manual.

[civic4982]

great! I got mine switched over and can't wait to report o nthe new V-3

Thanks FRANK!!!

[AZhitman]

Bump for the n00bs - Saw the guys from Vortech this week and reminded me to send them some love for an awesome setup!

[joe603]

So the V3 is a self-contained unit like the ProCharger?

Hey guys im new to this site. I just came from the self centered G35 Fourm Site (G35Driver.com) well im looking for advice not to be made fun of. Well Im considering getting a Vortech SC for my 06 G35 Coupe A/T. I was wondering if it is true that if you get it with a auto you have to shift manual when you have the SC? Also would this be a safe mod for reliability wise like in the long haul. Cause i heard that the SC for the G35's kills the motor after like around 100K miles. But idk it might be people just doing crazy boost and messing it up. Well please let me know about the Vortech SC for A/T. And what else i would have to do to my G35 to handle the SC power. Once again Thanks

Welcome to NICO! We try and respect our members here and are happy to answer your questions.

So the deal with superchargers, or any forced induction system, is that it puts additional strain on the engine components and increases the amount of wear and thus cause premature failures. However, this can minimized with proper tuning from a reputable engine shop/tuner.

The statement that you have to manually shift an auto is bs. When you "manually" shift, your just tell the car to shift rather than do it automatically. The system will not allow you to shift into a gear that will damage the engine/trans. The only thing you should consider if your concerned about reliability is getting a shift kit installed. This can help prevent damage to the transmission by making the shifts quicker. The less time the transmission is between shifting the better.

Finally, blanket statements about how many miles a SC'd car will last are just a guess. It all depends on how you drive it. If you punch it at every street light and track on the weekends, it will cause it to wear faster then "normal" driving. Of course using premium gas and proper tuning plays a role too.

Hope this helps!

What ^^^ said....

With an auto you will need a valve body modification and a good transmission cooler. Otherwise, as long as you don't overpower the A/T I don't see any real issue.
