Yes, when loading the trucks to set them up for delivery for the day, it gets ugly. This is why the approach I am taking just makes sense to reduce any issues.

Hi Aaron, any word on pricing & availability of kits to convert Ace setups to this one?

+1 On this, I really want to upgrade to this new kit from the ACE kit.
I am really pleased with the ACE kit, but if I can "move the graph to the left" and put a full filter as well, then I would like to have the new kit.

Here are some highlights of the new Topgun Speedworks ROTREX kit vs the vortech setups.

Obviously belt slip is a big concern for the supercharger crews. If you know anything of the other setups out there then it's easy to agree. We have vetted out any and all belt slip even when making up to 22psi of boost!

Here are a few pictures of our routing vs the vortech routing on the serpentine side. As you can see there is much more wrap around the drive belt where slip commonly occurs. We also use custom high diameter idlers which reduces belt wear and dust.

Below you can see we also have increased the supercharger side belt from 8 rib to 10 rib. This obviously creates much more grip. More on the ease of adjustability in a later post.

RIP belt slip!!!!

More highlights of the ROTREX kit.

It will take you longer to find your Allen wrench then to adjust the idler. Literally 10 second adjustment!

Most guys remove the supercharger on vortech setups. If not be prepared to say 20 new swear words and come out with beef jerky hand.

This design is built for simplicity and end user in mind.

Looking good Aaron!

I was just putting the pricing together for this and noticed even though the web page says the 93 Oct 500hp components are all available on the main page there is no 340lph pump/kit/V stabilizer on there. Just the 450 for E85.

Am I missing something?

Cheers

Unfortunately, I am no longer offering the buyback option. This is due to the fact that it caused me way to many headaches.

Of the 3 kits I received back so far, one was packed HORRIBLY and the bracket punched out the sidewall of the box and I had to replace it (at my cost). One did not have the shipping plug inserted instead of the vent plug and the whole box and unit was covered in oil, which I had clean and replace (at my cost). One did not have all of the components in it i had asked to be returned. I hope you can understand that I cannot continue to deal with this.

If you want the Rotrex kit you will need to purchase it from me. I can offer discounts to repeat customers. If you want to save on install then you just replace the components that need to be replaced and sell the ACE kit as a used kit with lots of brand new parts.

Theres really only 3 parts that change. It is the main bracket with SC attached already, SC charge pipe (that goes across the engine bay) and the driver side intake pipe. And a couple of couplers.

So theres no need to touch the intercooler, passenger piping, coolant tank system, etc...

Wow that's too bad, people ship out thing with no care at all.

Z1Motorsports offers NO REFUND if you send back a core (ie: upper intake manifold for porting service) that arrives damaged due to bad packaging.
Please consider doing something like that, everything properly detailed. Now with this bad experience you can discount a lot if it's oil in the packaging and zero refund if damaged. Saying that beforehand will ensure that the customers put a bit of effort to do thing right when sending it back to you.
When money penalty is involved things change.

I think he is done with that. Can't blame him.

What a bunch of di**. Now you can thank the 3 tool bags for ruining for you all

takemorepills · 07-30-2021, 04:28 PM

Honestly, as a "small business" operator myself, I cringed when I saw TopGunz offering a buyback!
The logistics of it are not worth it.

Correct me if I’m wrong Topgunz, but I don’t think he did it for money but more for customer satisfaction. The buyback was only on the ACE kit that came out a few months before and I can imagine buyers being pretty pissed to see a superior product come out right after they bought the already latest and greatest. It’s unfortunate those clowns had to ruin it

Is anyone getting the Rotrex kit for a 7AT and running moderate power gains?

I'm looking to see the outcome of a kit that is installed on a 7AT car, tuned primarily for 91, runs full air intake filter and will be daily driven.

I know most people getting this kit will be installing it on upgraded 6MT cars and going all-out (jealous!) but I am hoping that someone is going for a more restrained approach on a 7AT car that I can follow.

I’m waiting on my kit, hopefully shipping soon!

Will be installed on 2014 7AT(fast intentions flex plate) car with stock engine, not a daily driver.
Full CJM fuel return system/billet rails with 450 pump and ID 1300 injectors. Also will have flex fuel. Starting out with just a 93 pump gas tune then bringing in the E85 afterwards.

Hoping for around 550wheel on pump and 600 on E85, I feel like that is moderate compared to what Topgunz says this is capable of. Currently have all parts ready for install other than Topgunz Kit.
