Just be careful trying something that the stock block might not be able to handle. I figured that out a few months back. Should get me car back next weekend and for sure shooting for huge numbers.

How about running a screen over an Inlet bell or Velocity Stack?

Are you going to beat on the kit once it's done for some stress testing before releasing it?

I've actually thought about this. I'm going to see if I can chip away at the RAD support, so I can slip my filter off without having to pull the blower off.

I'd then run a velocity stack for the strip, since I heard screens do some funky stuff with the airflow.

Items needed:
Tial QRJ - $216
Tial 50mm Q/QR V-Band Adapter - $9
Tial V-Band Clamp (make sure you get the right one) - $35
Tial 1.5" Exhaust side hose fitting - $10
2.5" Pipe section with Tial Flange welded in - $20

If you have the older version of the L pipe (2.5") then you will need two 2.5" silicone couplers and also two more T-bolt clamps. $25

Might also want to get those silicone connectors in the "hump" style as the 45* coupler off the sc to that L pipe didnt fit as good as the new design with the 60* and 2.75" L pipe.

For others looking at getting the kit, I really only sell the kits with the Tial BPV option now for $275 more where it costs about $40 more down the road to upgrade. (which I dont think I will offer)

Yes I will. This project is going to take a little longer than expected. I already had a guy bail on me after we came to an agreement on a price for his car. I had the check ready then he disappeared. People suck.

Im trying to get some scans in this weekend.

brucelidat · 05-16-2017, 05:17 PM

No problem, I'm in no rush. having surgery Friday and won't be able to drive the Z for 6+ weeks after that, maybe longer.

Yeah so this happend!
What are you guys doing about the fitment of the filter.?
I made a gasget from the stillen boot and somehow it came lose and the supercharger has eaten it filling my intercooler With shrapnel and rubber and breaking several blades on the impeller.

The supercharger is on route to vortech now souks be there Monday
Ams I've manned to clean most of the intercooler out worryingly I didn't find much in the way of the blades more Rubber
The car runs fine so I think I may have been lucky and the intercooler has stopped a lot of the mess

OOOUUUCCCCCHHH! Damn I hate seeing things like this. Sorry for you man

TopgunZ · 05-19-2017, 08:19 PM

Sorry to see this. All kits ship with a spacer/gap reducer that is in the filter box and the instructions (with pictures) state to use it. Wondering how you ended up making your own....?
