i really need help in my case. the bracket (spacer) between the vtec sensor and the engine is cracked, i tried to fix it in the machining shop but it wasnt fixed, the car is leaking oil from that bracket.

here is a picture of the part im talking about:



i know that by simply replacing it the problem would be solved, but the issue here is that neither Vortech nor Horsepower freaks (HPF) are replying on my emails, and i dont know how or where to get that part right now

what should i do?

 

Well, I don't know who else might have it, but since it is a three day holiday weekend (Memorial Day), I don't know that you will get a response until tuesday.

I am sure Vortech will sell you a replacement at a very inflated price when you get through to them.

Sorry I can be of more help but it will probably just take a few days to get through.

 

i sent the email 2 weeks ago! the only reply i received was from HPF and they apologized to me that vortec didnt reply to them too about this issue and that they arent sure if i can get that part individually. the big problem is that i dont live in the US and there isnt any vortech dealer anywhere near to Kuwait.

 

give them a call on tuesday..

 

vortech will be the only place to get it from
expect a nice charge on that piece.

2nd option which is worse is have a machine shop replicate it, however since they do not necessarily have a jig setup for this piece, it will cost even more from a machine shop so really the only place to get it from at a lesser cost would be Vortech

 

Ok so im not the only person vortech ignores in emails?

 

thanks for your inputs, ill try to call them, and figure a way to explain that part by the phone.

i tried to replicate the part already but the machine shop told me they cant make it

it sucks not to have a good aftersale support, even HPF stopped replying on my emails

 

I replaced mine by calling them and having it shipped. Took two days here but you have to call and give them the credit card number.
