Big Bite!

Wife gave the green light.. just received the VF570 supercharger. I came in two large boxes.. photos of unboxing. Lots of stuff.. this will be bigger install than anticipated. I will say though, thoroughly impressed with quality of build. Really first rate. From excellent machining to the custom formed hoses.

Nice photos. Looks like you got a project ahead of you to complete. GL HF enjoy when is complete.

Wow! Christmas in March!

BLOODY AWESOME!!!!

Looks good! Welcome to the club!

P.S. It frustrates me to no end that Vortech puts such tiny pulleys on their superchargers.

VMRWheels · 03-19-2015, 07:43 PM

Awesome! Look forward to seeing numbers/vids

sinbad4 · 03-20-2015, 11:05 PM

Thanks guys! Been working on few hours a day since Tuesday. About 3/4 done. Just need to mount manifold, supercharger, fill fluids, apply programming. Put some stuff back on. With any luck. Will finish tomorrow. Posting a few pics for those who are interested.

Good work man! enjoy the build

Vanne · 03-21-2015, 11:34 AM

AWESOME!!!!!

keep those pics coming buddy

Finished. Major issue with bottom super charger bracket bolt.

I should have read Rated M Roadster vf570 post more carefully. Spent two hours trying to get bolt in. Impossible. Read Rated's post more carefully. Opted to pull and drop front subframe. Wish I knew this earlier.. would have made many other things easier.

Minor issue with one of the screws on a band on manifold blocking throttle assembly. Car ran poorly.. then died under any load. Found issue.. runs like a champ now. Very please.

Lookin great! I had the same supercharger installed and it's fantastic. If you run into any issues, throw me a line.

Congrats on the kit and kudos for taking care of the install yourself! Very jealous over here. Don't know if I'd recommend keeping the car lifted by a cardboard box though
