the Dirt on my used v1....
Well I called vortech yesterday and asked them about my s-trim head unit. I gave them the serial number off of it and he just popped up the history on his computer. Kinda not so good news. The previous owner had the blower serviced 1 year ago. That includes new seals, bearings, and whatever adjustments are necessary. A full service from vortech costs $360. So it seems that it is in good shape, but he said the blower was actually made in 2000 and sold in 2001. So its actually 6 years old, but was used for 5, then had new seals/bearings in it last year. How long do vortech units last? Mine looks and sounds great, but should I consider another service, or a new head unit? The new head units have little ports on the volute side and mine does not. I dont know if there is any kind of difference between the two...I guess 8psi is boost nomatter what blower you have right?
Its still definately a good deal since I only paid $750 for the kit and around $50 for additional parts I needed. |
Off topic, but are you using the nitrous with the blower?
|
I don't think so. I remember he said he was gonna take some pictures of his engine bay with both installed before he pulls the nitrous. unless you changed your mind or something?

I havent found a buyer for the nitrous. I am thinking of keeping it just because I wont get even half the money I put into it. I have talked to a tuner and he said it would be ok to run both just as long as it doesnt put me over 400whp. I would only consider a 50 shot and I prolly wont even use it......:salook:
