Focussport/vf Engineering S/c - hardk0re - 05-30-2005

I've finally completed the installation. Haven't started it up yet, i'll wait until tommorow night to double check the conenctions again....zip tie a few more wires together and clean up the messy engine bay.....

I just think it looks pretty weird with the tanks on the other side.

edit: i'll probably be re-routing the hoses as I don't really like how they are positioned right now.

Looks awesome

It does look out of place of course, but the injected moulded intake tubes = sweeeet.

I should be done mine tomorrow night as well. I'll post pics and we can compare installs :lol:

Looks sweet Kev... can't wait to see it live

HOT AIR, PLZ HELP :blink:

i think u can have some extra hp if you find a cooler place for the filter ;)

Focussport/vf Engineering S/c - hardk0re - 05-31-2005

Is this Normal?

Focussport/vf Engineering S/c - djrard - 05-31-2005

this sound is from the filter (air flow), the belt, the turbo .... any more infos ?

seems to be on idle only

Focussport/vf Engineering S/c - hardk0re - 05-31-2005

I took it for a quick spin, I never really reved it beyond 4500rpm so nothing ever really came alive power wise, the most boost I saw was 5psi.

When its moving you can't really hear it. I can just imagine going through the drivethrough with this thing being as loud as it is....

Meh, my race header will dull out the noise...

Focussport/vf Engineering S/c - ZX3TUNING - 05-31-2005

sounds pretty noemal for a Vortech based SC...

or it atleast sounds like all the vortechs i have heard.

Focussport/vf Engineering S/c - ZX3TUNR - 05-31-2005

Mitch, you dam double poster :P :lol:

I dont think it sounds any louder then the ProCharger. I like it. I dont think the hot air is going to be much of an issue where the filter is. Guess you could make it into a CAI style :D

Now what it really needs is that stage 2 tune, header, the pullies and water/meth injection :D

How much distance is there between those new coolant and power steering lines and the header.

Focussport/vf Engineering S/c - hardk0re - 05-31-2005

With these shorty headers its pretty close, 3-4 inches I havent measured. Once I get the race headers I'll gain a bit of room there due to the design of them.

Focussport/vf Engineering S/c - NOS2Go4Me - 06-01-2005

I can't wait to see/hear/drive :o that beast on Saturday. Just kidding about the driving part ;)

Focussport/vf Engineering S/c - darkpuppet - 06-01-2005

much nicer install than the vortech kit...

Focussport/vf Engineering S/c - ZX3 Canuck - 06-01-2005

Here's mine:

Is this a custom kit or designed by a company,why all the piping is exposed to the radiating heat from the engine,it might be a clever idea for packaging but not good for performance. B)

Focussport/vf Engineering S/c - hardk0re - 06-01-2005

It was designed by focussport and vf engineering. The IAT probably isn't that different when your moving. The only time the IAT's will go through the roof is in stop and go traffic. But that happens stock too...

I dont see the heat being a major problem. The FMAX kit is designed worse for heat soak issues. :huh:
