Vortech G35: NICOclub Project G35 gets boost!

[kmech_7]

For all those reading this article and thread, I owe Kevin Mech a HUGE THANKS for all his help - Kevin and I discussed the install before, during, and after, and many of the helpful hints were provided by him. So, THANKS to Kevin!!!

p.s. No TC on my car, brotha! 6MT FTW!!!

Thanx Greg.

[Frank @ VORTECH]

Awesome write up Greg! I'm looking forward to the follow up after you swap in some parts and turn up the boost.

For those of you asking about pricing give your local authorized Vortech dealer a call. You can find one here:http://www.vortechsuperchargers.com/dealers.php

Our kits come with your choice of a V2 SC-Trim like the one Greg has, or you can opt for a NEW V3 SC-Trim. The V3 is self lubricating and does not require you to run oil lines, or tap the oil pan. Pricing for the V3 kit is the same as the V2.V3 info:http://www.vortechsupercharger...=News

We also offer tuner kits with a T-Trim for those of you looking to make 500+ HP.

I remember a thread saying it project G35 was only getting 14.5 in the 1/4th?

14.23 @ 99.4 was what C&D got with a professional driver in a base Coupe 6MT.

Mid-14's aren't bad considering mine is loaded out with every available option (Navi, Premium, Aero), plus some additional weight added in suspension mods and a shot clutch.

Looking forward to getting some track times with boost.

Hello Frank:

Howdy! I once sent an e-mail to Vortech about their products and I never received a response. First of all, can you give me the exact Vortech Supercharger kit that will work well with a 2007 G-35 Coupe 6MT?

In addition, the V3 you noted, seems to be available only for a few cars, and the G-35 ins't on that list. Any info on when this will be available for the G-35 Coupe?

[Frank @ VORTECH]

Hey Jack03,

I apologize that you never got a response.

We don't have a complete system for an 07 G35 as of yet. I'm working with engineering to get one done. We thought the 07 G35 was going to have the VQ35HR motor like the 07 350Z. Well as you know it didn't, it came with the VQ35DE. The G37 ended up with the HR motor similar layout to the 07 350Z HR.

We need to update the list on our website. The V3 is now available for the 03-06 350Z/G35 kits.

If anyone with an 07 G35 coupe (stock) in so cal reads this we need a car for R&D. You'll get a discount on the kit and FREE installation. We'll need the car for up to 4 weeks. Give me a call for more details 805-247-0226 Ext.225

Frank:

Thanks for the info. I actually do think much of what works for the 05 and 06 G-35 Coupe will work for the 07 G-35 Coupe. I say this because, I used the after market air intake for an 05 and 06, the factory brakes for the 05 and 06, the same after market plenum spacer for an o5 and 06, the same lower plenum for an 05 and 06, and the same after market exhaust system for the 05 and 06 model years.

I doubt there is any real difference except for cosmetic ones between the 05, 06, and 07 model year G-35 Coupe. I have actually heard of people installing the Vortech chargers for the 05 and 06 on their 2007 G-35 Coupe model year, and it all seems to work exceptionally well. I may be wrong about thesimilarities, but, I have not seen any real difference between the 05, 06, and 07 model years which all have the rev up engine.

I am also in the process of discussing with one of your listed dealers on the cost of the superchargers and installation. I am waiting to hear from them by next week.

Frank, I would be interested in finding out what the V3 would run for my Maxima. Feel free to email me at the address in my profile. Thanks!

Also, YAY for boosting the G Greg. I was stoked when you told me about it.

[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 @ VORTECH]

Email sent Kenny.

[joe603]

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.

[AZhitman]

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?
