Definitely would need to have the WG pre-MAF otherwise the metering would be all messed up. This means blow-through, unlike the Stillen kit. Interesting idea though. My only concern is that you end up running the compressor way beyond its efficiency range in the upper RPM band, which means you will be creating a lot more heat in the pre-IC charge. It may balance out to more power over the range, but I bet there are a lot of losses in efficiency up top.

true but there are a lot of ways to cool that charged air down water-meth injection maybe running a nitrous spray bar for the intercooler....

anyways i have heard horror stories about the stillen and there tune thats why i am going with custom

imo blow-throught maf are easier to tune then suck-throught

i have the suck-through maf on my mustang it maxed out very fast and i had to get a larger ( one with more range)

my mustang has the v2 vortech and i know that 8psi is no were near the blowers effective range

at 14+ psi the v2 really starts to feel strong

on the z i will be getting the motor built next year and yea i should be going turbo but we will see..

i just think from my exp. with vortech that kit should see 500whp or very close to it

i can always up grade to a t or ysi trim vortech(built motor of course) i think they fitt same bracket (sci to t is just an impeller swap)

small road block

i work for verizon and we are on strike.. so i may have to do the adult thing and postpone this install and get my money back ..

going to give this a few more days

Nissan370 · 08-17-2011, 07:46 PM

dropped the car off @ je imports

timing sucks but i am going on with the install

Nissan370 · 08-25-2011, 03:31 PM

so got the car back hear are a few pictures

not sure whats going on with the torque curve but the hp looks good..

little clip of the dyno

weather kinda sucks today but the ride from the shop no problems more pictures and videos to come this v3 vortech is very quiet compared to the v2 on my mustang
