One more Q, This is completely bolt on right, it fits with any cat back system/after market exhaust (not mentioning the ones made for certain turbos.)

I am pretty sure it does. Just so we don't clutter this thread more with unrealed header chat, here is the link to the Borla UEL info, and also another UEL that was release from RevWorks. This thing is pretty sweet too...

Impromptu Vortech Night Shoot

Had dinner with @Chris@Phastek and headed out here to chill. I appreciate his patience while I did my thing.

I still have tons of pictures to sort through. I've been really busy with my other shoots (engagements, babies).

Love the way the car drives!

Really like the subtle spoiler on the white car. Any idea which spoiler that is?

It looks like the OEM FRS factory spoiler

Yep OEM.

Since my lovely fiance was nice enough to help me out... I did a little video of the install.

We don't sell this part, but we try to post whatever we do to the vehicle...

Thanks a lot for the video. I appreciate that. I really like that. I may have to pick that up.

Thanks, It was the good micro four thirds glass. Olympus 12 F/2.0 and Olympus 75 F/1.8. Been making a lot of good photos using it. The whole Kartboy shifter DIY was using only the 12mm F/2.0

Finally got a chance to visit the backlog of photos! Never too late to share a photo or two. @Chris@Phastek and I hope to show everyone what is included in the kit, so everybody knows what they are getting. @Brian@Vortech has already announced an upgrade to the kit, but it only affects the blower unit itself. Some feedback will be given on the difficulty of install on the part. Let's get to it.

Many Thanks to @Brian@Vortech, @PERRIN_Jeff for developing the kit. Also kudos to @PERRIN_Chris and Molly for excellent customer support. Been a treat working with all of them.



When the UPS Truck came, we knew it was time. Each large box was one kit. It does not include the 2.5K Bar MAP Sensor. That was a separate package

Air pipes. The middle two pipes for the driver side. The two outside pipes fro the passenger side. There is a bag of hardware. It is very nicely organized. None of the parts/hardware on the table were labeled, so it was hard to do inventory based on the list included in the manual. It wasn't too much trouble, but labels would have made things much easier

20130228-VortechProductSpread-055 by VictorN07, on Flickr


Lots of clamps. Vortech sends extra which was really nice.

20130228-VortechProductSpread-064 by VictorN07, on Flickr

We get three bottles of lubricant. Each bottle is good for one change. The normal change interval is 7500 miles. There is a spout to make refilling the blower easy. What I like about this unit is that the fluid to lubricate the blower is self contained. No need to tap into the engine block for oil. Next to the fluid is silicone couplers used to connect the air tubes together. Last the airbox is behind.

This is the air filter provided for the blow off valve

The airbox. A pre-oiled(?) K&N filter is provided

Blowoff valve, **EDIT** One Idler Pulley , and brackets

One of the things we had to do was extend the MAF Sensor wire. The stock MAF Sensor is at the exit of the stock air intake box. The MAF Sensor in the vortech kit now sits behind the passenger side turn signal. It comes with all the wire and loom so you can solder and protect everything. Your own electrical tape is required to make it look "OEM". To the left of this is the 2.5K Bar Manifold Air Pressure sensor. It plugs into the intake manifold under the Boxer cover. This MAP sensor is not included in the normal kit.

These are assorted clamps and bits to hook up the blowoff valve, poipes, etc. They also included a one way check valve for the PCV system so the charged air doesn't get pushed into the crankcase by accident! Around this is the extended belt. With the blower mounted in place, there is about 2" between the motor and the blower to slip on the belt. Difficult but not impossible.

At the top you can see the stainless steel drain hose for the blower. It reaches down past the metal skid pan. Should be cake to drain the fluid.
Below these are brackets to mount the blower and spacers for the new pulley. The blower holds on the two new idler pulleys. The lower right bracket is to raise the alternator. As mentioned already this is the old bracket which causes fitment issues. A new bracket has been issued already. Talked to Brian and Mike at Vortech and they have been nothing but good to me.

20130228-VortechProductSpread-083 by VictorN07, on Flickr


The blower @Brian@Vortech has already announced an upgrade to the kit. All customers should be getting their units upgraded soon. From my discussions with Brian a new higher flow impeller will be installed as well as a slightly smaller pulley. Reports that it will make 9 lbs of boost (up from 7) and is good for close to 300 flywheel HP on 91 pump gas. We'll be sure to test it out once the units come back.

20130228-VortechProductSpread-085 by VictorN07, on Flickr


This is the stock pulley (under the grey cap). The cap is there for warranty purposes

I believe the kit is mass produced. This is an example of the welds on the pipe. Not the greatest quality IMO, but since its for air it will be okay.

Fun stuff

Not too bad. I can't wait to get this kit, glad correct put out the higher output kit. I'll work on this later this year, just spent way too much money on my Mitsubishi.

Correct sir. They were really cheap. Couldn't say no. Might be retired to track wheels.
