| Neil, How do I make the V8 faster. Some helpful people have mentioned I should "...get a couple of hair dryers.." or blowers or something. I am pretty much bald though, why would they help? |

| Hey Neil, I was sitting at the lights today with some smartass p-platers next to me in an R32 GTR, My windbag V8 is so slow I was too ashamed to even give em a shot. I need a supercharger. What are your thoughts on M90 vs Vortech? your kit looks good but I wonder about fitting a vortech and being able to pump a decent amount of boost into the V8 through a nice intercooler. Has anyone given it a shot? I would have thought it would become a pretty serious weapon. Assuming of course that if you really wind the boost up you'd need a supplemental injector and/or aftermarket ECU |

| Todd,,How deep are ya pockets mate ?? You want to waste a GTR !! Look at the opposite side of things..you may not beat a GTR,BUT,You dont have to repair your V8 as often as the GTR has to And you have more niceties and comfort to boot.. A Vortex Blower does not suit the 1UZ...Its better on an LS1. Better to go Twin Screw with W2A Cooler. Stephen,,I used to love that Aunty Jack song..hahahaha |

| Hi Neil, Yeah true - it's all about how much one wants to spend. Having said that we should be atleast close to keeping up with a GTR for a little while (I'm not under the impression that I'll ever waste one) - the TT guys would take them on. Why do you say the vortex blower does not suit the 1UZ - It's "just" a compressor isn't it? What's the difference between that and a roots type supercharger that makes it more/less suitable? Hmmmm twin screw W2A...hmmmm....tasty.....Yahoo Japan... |

| Because the vortech is a centrifugal SC it has bugger all boost down low where the 1UZ needs it. |

| So guys, can't one fit the correct pulleys and match the compressor map so that it has the right boost down low? And if for example that means it's doing 15psi up high which could be too much given the engine's static compression, then you fit a mechanism to limit the boost, i.e. some sort of bleed/blow off valve (wastegate on the compressor side I guess)or an electric/magnetic clutch to limit the superchargers' rpm's I dunno, I'm just mucking around with ideas here. Being a previous owner of 3 x turbo cars I know how good a well matched boost curve can be. I would have thought that Vortech would have that sussed now. |

| Turbos can get up to speed then maintain it with the wastegate but the speed of the vortech is directly related to engine speed so if you had it spinning to provide enough boost down low you'll be over revving before you get to redline. How about you get the best of both worlds and turbo your V8? |

| Neil, Just picked up a 91 Soarer 2500TT Manual the only prob that we arn't sure about is that with the foot on the floor the boost gauge hits about 11 PSI and some sort of limiting cuts in, think that it be the computer. Do these cars have a max boost limit in the computer??? Will be looking at the waste gates next but thought that I ask a Question |

| Hi David, YES they do..Need a Boost cut defender to be able to increase the boost.BUT..Only to a safe limit of about 16psi.. OR..Find a MINES ECU (Its built in) Do other mods BEFORE this..Like Dumps / Exhaust / Front Mount Intercooler / 440cc Injectors,,THEN Play with some more Boost This is the safer way of doing things. |

| Factory boost cut kicks in at ~ 14.5psi, so if it's cutting out before that at only 11psi, I'd be looking at the usual suspects like old/wrong plugs, poor fuel, bad coilpacks or coilpack connectors etc. A boost cut controller will let you run more than the 14.5psi factory boost limit but as Neil noted, leave it to the very end as you'll need to sort out many other performance issues/modifications before worrying about it. |

| Thanks for the prompt replies It runs a front mount but not sure what else is hiding, previous owner was not all that mechanical. Will spend the next few weeks setting a few things right. If you run 3/4 throttle will pull well and revs out, but at full throttle it hits a wall and breaks down, like rev limit, well sort of but at 2-3000 revs |

| Almost forgot has 3 inch from turbo's to rear bumper, believe that this and the Front mount and a pod filter increases the boost so could it be hitting the 14.5 PSI limiter?? Or has someone disabled the waste gates?? |

| Fit an accurate boost gauge with peak hold/recal functionality to know for certain how much it's boosting to. |

| Neil, you have to tell me what those wheels are on the Soarer in your profile?! In case you change your profile pic before you see this, they are a 5 spoke wheel, spokes are grey, rim is chrome, and the car is dark blue. I would love to buy a set of them. You wouldn't be selling them by any chance eh? he he he |
