I don't know about trading the V3 in, but it may be worth the phone call. I said that the V3 with the 928 upgrade could spin faster than the V7 but the flow rate from the V7 was more. |

Vortech will give you $500-$1000 credit for a trade in, which is a joke. I literally asked them for an impeller and O-Rings and they told me that my unit needs "major repair" and is not worth keeping.
Frozenboost sells oil coolers for dirt cheap btw if you want to piece one together yourself. |

Thanks greatly for the pulley Upgrades ideas and thank you to TopGunz for the 928 recommendation upgrade also. That is just so wild about the car breaking down on your sisters birthday, sometimes the world works in strange ways haha. I greatly appreciate all the help and I'm very soon going to pull the trigger on the air to air kit along with the 1050 injectors after looking so deeply into it and gaining some better understanding of it all. I will document the process as much as I can.
Also, I totally agree on your path of doing everything before adding power. That is exactly what I have done also for the past 3 years of the car. Everything even to the fly wheel and clutch have been upgraded so I figured, I might as well squeeze a little more out of the Stillen kit with the proven adaptations that we are seeing now. I hope to hear and see more of your z's progress soon here to come! Best, Rajvir |

IPP Stage IV Update:
I messaged Kyle and he said they just got the custom pistons in last week! (11.0:1 CR) He will go to the machine shop tomorrow and see what's up -- try to get a firm ETA on it for me and then let me know, and then I will let /you/ guys know! Super excited. Getting closer! Also, I have a mobile mechanic that is going to rebuild the supercharger for me this coming Friday using the 928 parts (Impeller & Seals / Bearings) that I ordered from 928motorsports. I did not know there is instructions for installing and rebuilding it. https://928motorsports.com/installpd...on_Vortech.pdf https://928motorsports.com/installpd...ealinstall.pdf - It has torque specs and everything which is super helpful. |

Did you talk to Kyle about the warranty and it being covered? And how long ago was it that your Stage 3 blew out? |

Depends who you ask. He says a foreign object made it's way into the cylinder, everyone else (including the machine shop it's at currently) says it was an issue with the valves/valve guides. Kyle chose not to warranty the motor, and wanted to charge me $2500 plus a new cylinder head to repair it. This happened a couple months ago and I am now looking to get it repaired locally. The car ran for 3 weeks under the break in instructions before failing. Never saw boost or even 4500 RPM.

Thats weird how he chose not to warranty it. Is there a reason why he said no? Did he say to send it in and they can look at it or ? I decided to source my block today from RJM. I just purchased a bare closed deck short block with an added crank and a set of VVEL Heads 370z. They will ship it by the end of this week to Kyles' shop and assemble it probably and hopefully next week. I think its going to go well. Its closed deck so it will be strong. They say closed decks can hold up to 40+ psi and is for boosted applications. The thing about IPP is that all the blocks they build are open. Therefore it is prone to fail if on a boosted application. RJM told me they have had 5 IPP blocks sent to them for rebuilding in the past 6 months. That scared the crap out of me so I decided to go with a closed deck last second lol. And I trust RJM because they make sick stuff lately lol. Successful. Stuff. |

No warranty. 5 in 6 months huh? I wonder if he's ever honored a warranty lol. Hope yours lasts longer. The issue was with the valves, not the bottom end, so a stronger block wouldn't have saved it. |
