Default Vortech V3 info

Looking for some info on rebuilding a Vortech V3. I’ve rebuilt a few v2s and a v1. A little background is that I bought this thing as a box of parts already dismantled and a trashed oil slinger plate.
Does the oil slinger plate sit right over the gear or is there some kind of spacer in between? Also the wave washers.... I have multiples of these which compared to some of the other ones I’ve done seems odd. Do they get stacked? Any info is helpful also any pics too. There’s very little info anywhere about these V3s.
And to add, if anyone has any experience with these that they aren’t worth it and I should just convert it to oil fed that would also be helpful. I have no idea what I’m gonna spin it to yet (have a 3.6 pulley for now) Going on an lq4 nothing special just gonna have a little fun for now.

No help for rebuilding but good little blower.
Mine has been going strong for 30k + with 3.4” pulley. Makes 810rwhp on a ls3.

Wow those are some seriously respectable numbers. What is done to your motor? What kind of psi does that 3.4 make on your combo? I'm excited to play with it. I've enjoyed the turbo stuff that I've been playing with I know these are a different animal but should be fun for my setup.

Those are amazing numbers. That e85 is devils juice! I wish I had more access to that fuel. I would like to play with tuning on some of it. Thanks for your info.
