To Vortech or not to Vortech ??:drive:
So many are on the Facebook pages and more but i wanted to put in the time i did to my DTR on the forums also. I love the format and getting tired of the nonsense with Facebook now days.
So i had this supercharger on the cobra i own for some time and had a lot of good times with the head unit but i am going to a much larger supercharger than the vortech V7- JT .
This head unit was a prototype from Vortech labs engineers from 2001.
For this build i wanted to go with OEM "quality" and performance without too much fanfare or attention grabbing and since this is a daily driver , i wasn't wanting to deal with any loud exhausts or noise if i could help it.
This meant keeping stock exhaust and all .... yes even the CATS !!
These are the only mods below :
*Ford racing MU52 52lb injectors .
*ADTR Rear control arms.
*Walbro 450 fuel pump
*Tuning myself via QH and Decipha strategy breakout on Tunerpro.
*Innovate ECB1 Gauge , Wide-band + Vac/boost + Ethanol content sensor.
*E85 Corn only baby! :coolman:
*My own custom FPDM for 40 amps
I applied a lot of phases to installation of this kit . It was quite the journey and the best part was ADTR installation kit to go with my race blower .
I'd already put over 100k miles on the supercharger so i sent it out to vortech labs for a fresh rebuild and update , all new bearings and the works. I purchased a 3.33' pulley and its going through an ADTR race kit provided inter-cooler which does a phenomenal job with cooling the air charge. Currently seeing a bit of belt slip on this combo but ill be making some changes to the belt length . Currently seeing around 7lbs boost at 6k rpm . i think it should get a bit more than that with the belt issue resolved.
Check out the video of the install and the initial phases of tuning .Don't forget to shoot a sub if you haven't !
