Yeah, the compressor wheel on a vortech unit is frikkin HUGE!
I've had the pleasure of holding one and it is like the size of a turbo for a 1000hp supra

Man, a relocated battery could be huge for cleaning up that engine bay. Would make lots more space for a clean overflow tank relocation.

Also, that filter placement sucks. Gotta be a way to move that filter away from the engine a bit.

Does look promising, however. The GB price looks pretty good.

EDIT: After looking at it again, I dont know where the filter would go. Also needs quite a bit of extras. Though if you managed to get it for ~1600 I guess its not a bad starting point.

I see why Vortec went to the other side of the engine. Pipe routing doesnt look that clean.

It's going to be pretty hard to fill up the windshield washer fluid too. I guess that's why they left the cap off...

hahaha, good eye.

I think the kit definetly has some potential, but yeah, with the maf placement, I think some idle issues will occur. Should ditch the FMU and upgrade injectors and do it right.

He should have located the battery to the trunk and put the coolant resevoir where the battery to used to be, so he could free up some more room for the intake piping to get rid of that 90 degree bend.

One thing I do like is the price though. $2000 for the first 4 to sign up and if you a cougar club member.

So are you, but I didn't want to tell the majority of CEG that's never met you.

It looks like a good place to put an aftercooler would be in the window cowl area. Run the piping through the fire wall and viola nice cold air. BTW are those zip ties holding the upper section of piping to the firewall?
