Yeah, I meant V3, but didn't type that in.

 

The V1 Ti? That will work with the existing kit?

What about the V7 blowers, will those work with this kit?

 

Wait you are using the self lubed version?! Very likely your SC internals are destroyed, cant say I have heard any of them actually proving to be reliable... likely time for a rebuild and switch to oil fed version. Can you turn the SC pulley with the belt taken off?

 

Yup, the self lubed V3 Sci. My guess is that it is in fact toast. The SC pulley wont turn at all. I'm just wondering if it's even rebuild-able at this point or if I have buy a new one.

What are my options with other Vortech blowers? MARK AUS S2K mentioned the Ti trim, but I see that's only available for the V1 blower, per Vortech's website. Will that work as a direct replacement with this kit or will customization be needed.

How about the V4 or V7 blowers? Will any of those work with the existing kit parts or will I need parts fabricated and/or existing parts modified?

 

I'm thinking of just going NA for little bit to save up for a bigger blower if the bigger ones will fit. I just dont know how long I can last without having boost, since I've driven 75k miles boosted out of almost 90k miles total.

Are there any issues with going back to NA with keeping all the supporting mods for the SC, ie Walbro 255 pump, ID1000's, test pipe?

Also, if I take off the blower and aftercooler, can I leave the rest of the brackets and stuff on until I'm ready for a new blower, and still drive it?

 

You gotta change out the injectors if your gonna run stock ecu. And stock map sensor if you have a aftermarket one. Youll run too rich if you use them na

 

I am not and will not run stock ECU. Im still on the stock MAP sensor...

 

How high were you boosting and how long do you plan to stay stock? In my opinion, if you decide to stay stock for several months then uninstall the system, you wouldn't want to damage anything else if that's even possible.
Good luck bro.

 

I was at 10psi. I was thinking of keeping the blower and after cooler off for a few months maybe, just wasn't sure if there might an issue with keeping the brackets and other stuff on it while putting around town.
