its completely a street car. I have been to the 1/8th mile track one time back when i was at 485rwhp. Its setup for freeway roll racing. i drive it to work atleast 2 times a week. Its not really my daily driver anymore though. Im in the process of building the suspension and tranny.

Im a little late in the game but why are people getting this guy set on a v1 when a v3 si is literary 50 dollars more and the most perfect matched sc for a stock motor

where did you find a v3 complete kit for $50 more than $3014?

redrocket · Nov 13, 2011

if he can find a cheap v2 used and he can get it upgraded to the si trim

OMG, I'm surrounded.

Still, these guy will not mislead you. They are biased (as I am) but they won't mislead you.

Edit: I still believe a complete, integrated kit is better. All of the parts are designed to work together, problem free. If you go Vortech listen to these guys. So many people put piece together stuff that does not work well together. And, I still believe that some Vortech have a designed in belt slippage problem. It is hard to run a pulley smaller than 3.0".

all you need is a head unit and bracket. seriously. everything else can be done with other parts with out issue. its just piping and intercooler. the piping that came with my kit was garbage anyways. i think it was 2.5 piping. i now run 3.5 inch

stal94gt · Nov 13, 2011

i miss read the price my bad it is 3678 for the compleat kit. but well worth it. faster install, less drop in pulley size to make boost, all around better blower than the v1.
Vortech 4FL218-130L - Vortech Centrifugal Supercharger Kits - Overview - SummitRacing.com

also i would get a tuner kit for 2800

lethal division x fuel pump for 150
used cobra injecters for 120 + adapters for 40
and a hpx slot maf for 300 and call it good unless he wants to invest the extra 250 dollars in fabing up a ic and power pipe which is very worth it.

as for belt slip with vortechs, it happens to prochargers with much larger pulleys since the step ratio is 4.10-1, not to mention a entry level prochager intercooled is expensive as crap and runs out of steam if he ever decides to make power and go down pulley size.

This is what I was talking about. Not an integrated system.

I don't know. But I do know that Shaun has struggled endlessly trying to get 10 psi. I have had very few problems in the last 76,000 miles. Some yes. Some my fault.

shaun has his problems, i have been running a proper setup vortech and made 18# and plenty of power out of a si trim with no belt slip. when it comes to diy self it saves money, lots of it. you just gotta do it right and be creative

Or buy a complete kit that is designed to work together.

I make 9psi with a 3.3 pulley and a 4 core I/C. No power pipe.

Then again last time I had my car on the dyno it was ~60 degrees.

Eagle2000GT · Nov 13, 2011

I make 8.9 psi with a 3.7" pulley and a 3 core intercooler. No power pipe. It was 78* that day. The $200 Anderson power pipes really don't do much for ProCharger. They must have a good intake already. They seem to do a lot for Vortech's though.

compared to that acordian type intake tube that comes stock with the vortech I think thats why the power pipe does good things for the vortech.

well its pretty much narrowed down to one of these not sure on the differences? to justify severeal hundred bucks difference? unless I can find a complete used kit im going with one of these. I have 6% off on either with my forum discount. would like to up the boost if I ever build block in future as well.

Knock on wood, but Ive been fine. Problem was just running to big of a belt on the small pulley.

Belt slip can happen on Prochargers to. The thing is, Prochargers intercoolers flow so well, that the P1 doesnt need as small as a pulley to hit 10psi. If I ran a Procharger 3 core on my car, I could probably use a 3.33 to hit 10psi. There was someone on Modular Fords who was running a V2 S trim with a 3.33 pulley and a Procharger 3 core intercooler and was hitting 11psi.

The V1 s-trim can make eover 600 on these cars with the right set up. The V1 is more durbrable than the V2 or V3 especially in cold weather. Vortech used to caution the V2 owners to make sure the SC was fulley warmed up in cold weather before going over 3500 engine RPM. That's why vortech only sells the T-trim HD (heavy duty)in a V1 platform. The main thing to consider is the trim S Si T YSi etc.
