Topgunz Rotrex Kit Texas Build.

Looking good Frank! Yes, the intake to the SC is a bit of work but its better than the other options. Look at my ACE kit thread and the issues

Looking good Frank! Yes, the intake to the SC is a bit of work but its better than the other options. Look at my ACE kit thread and the issues guys are having to deal with in order to run a filter, or worse, not run a filter.

Got some cooler temps in Texas and lower humidity this week so I'm making a final push. Planning on first startup this weekend with Eugene. Last night I worked on getting the cold side piping installed and the MAF sensors. Expecting the final 2 parts from Topgunz to deliver tomorrow and I can install the serpentine belt and Mac Solenoid.

Couple Pics of progress below.

Up and running. Eugene got the Z going around 1 yesterday. Made a short run to gas station since I was on E. Today I’m going to upload a tune revision, put front bumper/undertray back on and get some miles/data log. Current tune is for 10psi on 93. Will go to 15psi/E85 in coming weeks.

He must be referring to a different car. No Dyno yet or anything. Just barely up and running yesterday.

Saw the video on your IG just now of your car idling. Clean idle, and clean car. Nice work! Stealthy!

That makes sense. Now that you mention it, I think there was a g37 if I remember right that made that power. I've been following your build and I didn't see you post any numbers yet

Next drive Eugene wants 4th gear 3k to 6k WOT. Will see how car likes that then full pull after that.
Noticed oil temps up about 15-20 degrees with supercharger compared to NA. 25 row oil cooler might not be enough now?

Is your oil cooler sandwiched between the IC and radiator?

That is correct. I’m kind of out of room up there. Doesn’t seem ideal. Oil temps around 200 now instead of 180 on a 90 degree Texas day. Still better than 220 I was seeing prior to oil cooler.
