Wanted advice on potential vortech buy *Pic*
Wanted advice on potential vortech buy *Pic* Thinking about buying a Vortech G trim off the forum here. Only issue is the previous owner of the supercharger put a hole in it (by the feed) to mount a oil pressure guage. Pic below. Could this affect the blower in any way? Any ideas on how to go about fixing it?
Thanks
Thanks
You are an idiot for saying that! I made 601rwhp with that little ricer G-trim and drug a lot of *** with it while running a couple of trouble free years! It is true that it is a small S/C, but very capable of making great power. Unless you are looking to make more than 600rwhp then it is a great kit.

What were your mods when you made that?
I made 526 thru an automatic and high stall with mine and it still had a little more in it.

It's the drilling right in the upper middle...looks like a few holes. I don't know if it's actually the "feed" that's just what the seller called it. Here's the link with a few more pics in it. Just trying to determine if this is a decent deal and if the hole drilled in is a pricey problem.

I went to their website.....I guess I'm the dumb one.....
Designed for use on 1.6 to 4 liter engines, the V-5 features a low-surge threshold for smaller displacement, high-revving engines. As with all other Vortech superchargers, development and testing took place in a state-of-the-art test cell (compliant to SAE Standard J-1723). This efficient compressor design requires less horsepower to drive the impeller and provides cooler discharge temperatures. These features, matched with our exclusive D-port volute, allow for more available boost throughout the operating range, especially at higher engine speeds. Vortech V-5 G-Trim Supercharger

Wow dude go back to the website and actually read it before I make you look like a dumbass..

He never mentioned V-5. Better check your compass so you can navigate around a website correctly next time.
First off, its the V-9 series for the LS1.. They don't make an S trim kit for the LS1 f body, only on the Vette and the GTO because of the way its mounted. It won't work on an F body because of the rotation of the blower.
Here's a link for the LS1 Fbody kit http://vortechsuperchargers.com/prod...108&cat_key=12
Here's the link for the V-9 series G trim for the F bods. Yes it can be used for small displacement applications like import cars but it has enough for the LS1 (346 cu in) motor and can support up to a 6.0 liter. http://vortechsuperchargers.com/view...s+Supercharger
RMCR makes a after bracket and supporting hardware to mount a T trim or a YSi trim to work with the G trim kit.

Just cause you posted a response to me I will go back to my original statement you my friend are an IDIOT! I don't care if you best fiends sisters friend knows someone who has and S trim on a car if it isn't an LS1 don't talk about or give advice on stuff you obviously know very little about! And If you are one of those guys who just reads **** all the time and decided you were an expert think again. You need to go back and re-evaluate your knowledge of this subject. And with that said I am not trying to make you look stupid you already did that yourself sorry. Let me know if you need some help on FI. I may not know everything, but obviously more than you.
