Of the 3 kits I received back so far, one was packed HORRIBLY and the bracket punched out the sidewall of the box and I had to replace it (at my cost). One did not have the shipping plug inserted instead of the vent plug and the whole box and unit was covered in oil, which I had clean and replace (at my cost). One did not have all of the components in it i had asked to be returned. I hope you can understand that I cannot continue to deal with this.

If you want the Rotrex kit you will need to purchase it from me. I can offer discounts to repeat customers. If you want to save on install then you just replace the components that need to be replaced and sell the ACE kit as a used kit with lots of brand new parts.

Theres really only 3 parts that change. It is the main bracket with SC attached already, SC charge pipe (that goes across the engine bay) and the driver side intake pipe. And a couple of couplers.

So theres no need to touch the intercooler, passenger piping, coolant tank system, etc...

Wow that's too bad, people ship out thing with no care at all.

Z1Motorsports offers NO REFUND if you send back a core (ie: upper intake manifold for porting service) that arrives damaged due to bad packaging.
Please consider doing something like that, everything properly detailed. Now with this bad experience you can discount a lot if it's oil in the packaging and zero refund if damaged. Saying that beforehand will ensure that the customers put a bit of effort to do thing right when sending it back to you.
When money penalty is involved things change.

Is anyone getting the Rotrex kit for a 7AT and running moderate power gains?

I'm looking to see the outcome of a kit that is installed on a 7AT car, tuned primarily for 91, runs full air intake filter and will be daily driven.

I know most people getting this kit will be installing it on upgraded 6MT cars and going all-out (jealous!) but I am hoping that someone is going for a more restrained approach on a 7AT car that I can follow.

I’m waiting on my kit, hopefully shipping soon!

Will be installed on 2014 7AT(fast intentions flex plate) car with stock engine, not a daily driver.
Full CJM fuel return system/billet rails with 450 pump and ID 1300 injectors. Also will have flex fuel. Starting out with just a 93 pump gas tune then bringing in the E85 afterwards.

Hoping for around 550wheel on pump and 600 on E85, I feel like that is moderate compared to what Topgunz says this is capable of. Currently have all parts ready for install other than Topgunz Kit.

Honestly, as a "small business" operator myself, I cringed when I saw TopGunz offering a buyback!
The logistics of it are not worth it.

Correct me if I’m wrong Topgunz, but I don’t think he did it for money but more for customer satisfaction. The buyback was only on the ACE kit that came out a few months before and I can imagine buyers being pretty pissed to see a superior product come out right after they bought the already latest and greatest. It’s unfortunate those clowns had to ruin it

OK, so no buyback program. I get that. But what is the pricing and availability for the parts needed to convert from an ACE kit?

It would be $5150 to send out everything you need to turn the ACE kit into a Rotrex kit.

Remember, this is an entirely new head unit (MSRP $2800) with the oiling system ($3250 msrp total) , new bracket with all new pulleys and new belt setup. New aluminum cast driver side intake, charge pipe, SC intake with filter, boost control hardware.
