Vortech Supercharging - FAQ and Notes
Table of Contents @Dezoris pointed out that the Vortech owners thread had gotten so long it was impossible to navigate through and find any specific info you might need. He wasnt the only one that felt so. Heres my shot at trying to compile what ever I can find that is relevant. Ill be adding more as I filter through all the pages. Let me know if I miss something and Ill add it to this post. (This is going to be a constant work in progress) The goal is to have the important info and FAQ on the first page so people dont have to hunt it down. Kit Revisions: Quote:

Oil Cooler Install Tips and Tricks (Perrin)
What is a thermostatic oil cooler setup? Its a liquid to air cooler that uses a thermostatic plate to mechanically control oil flow to an oil cooler. The thermostat inside this sandwich plate can open at a specified temperature to allow full oil flow to the cooler. Most of these plates go full open at 185F. Although this depends on manufacturer, also the thermostats and plates can be custom ordered. THERMOSTATIC SANDWICH PLATE BY MOCAL (185F FULL OPEN) https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-R...oler_parts.jpg PERRIN MOCAL PLATE FILTER AND LINES INSTALLED: https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-r...edium%2529.jpg https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-T...edium%2529.jpg https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-O...edium%2529.jpg https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-o...edium%2529.jpg Why do I need an oil cooler? The short answer is the FRS/BRZ/GT86 in stock unmodified form tend to have higher oil temperature when the vehicle is run hard on track or autox, and tends to have very slow temperature recovery times Running forced induction means you need to keep the oil at normal levels 170-220F on 0w20 oil for street driving. That can be very hard to do in hot climates or those who tear through the gears often. If you drive this car on the track with the Vortech kit without an oil cooler your oil temps will reach near dangerous levels within 10-15 minutes. 270F+. From most research after the past year optimal track oil temps are 220-250F (265F being the acceptable upper limit) What thermostatic oil coolers fit?
Tips and Tricks for making the oil cooler lines fit properly: If you are running a thermostatic kit the biggest problem is line clearance over the Vortech airbox bracket, ABS module, airbox, headlamp assembly and bumper beam.

FINAL TIPS AND ADVICE:
WARNINGS AND EFFECTS OF LEAKS 1. Oil will pool on bypass valve if plate is leaking. 2. Oil will pool on skid plate https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-J...Small%2529.jpg 3. Oil can contact drive belt 4. Oil can cause fire if enough collects on exhaust 5. Oil can leak out of skid plate and coat tires and cause loss of control |

This doesn't fit with the oil fed kit FYI and it would be interesting to see headers that are compatible for those of us electing the oil fed option

Cool I'll add a note. As more info is available on fitment for oil fed kits I'll update the list

@Dezoris
Do you have more info on how this kit needs to be modified to fit? Where did you read that it required modification? "Full Blown Oil Cooler with cooler bracket mods" |

Is there an intake air cone equivalent that I can buy at Autozone or Pepboys?

awesome info!!!!

I have the V-3 and installed a 2.87 pulley. The power difference between the factory pulley and the 2.87 is highly noticable and much more fun to drive.
Long story short I blew a seal (cause is still undeterminded). When Vortech opened it up, there was also bearing damage so the cost to rebuild was ~$950. I decieded that since Vortech already has it they might as well go ahead and do the V-3 -> V-2. The exact cost is $1,095 + shipping. |
@draggin_az did you ever use the 3.125 pulley or did you go straight to the 2.87?
