Unless your feeding it a garden hose I doubt it would starve the engine

MMGT1 · 04-29-2012, 10:01 PM

Did you get this with your kit? There should be a red hose attached and the long, one way valve should be with it.

I need the 7P375-094 fitting

kwhauck · 04-30-2012, 09:40 AM

Why isn't the supercharger a sealed oil unit?

k6ng6r00 · 04-30-2012, 10:41 AM

cooling would be my guess
update with the bearings stuff: called 928 again, she swears up and down that they only service v1 and v2s and they have never touched anything else. just got off the phone with vortech... they refused to give me the dimensions of the bearing i need for the output shaft... only thing he would give me is a three digit number starting with a 7 for a rebuild quote... looks like ill just have to get out the calipers and measure the damn thing myself.
About the oil feed fitting... updated part number is 7P375-084... vortech charges 32 bucks for that sucker... they're almost as bad as apple!

No one can ever be as bad as Apple...

Get the air assist, the charger needs it bud. It will seal off when not in boost and then the valve opens to airate the incoming oil and reduce pooling in the bottom of the charger
I don't get it then man about 928?? I think I even have the reciept around here somewhere from me getting my stuff from them! Id try a google search and see what you can find the man. Someone has to be able to help you on it. Couple of years ago there was a guy on e-bay that sold rebuild kits for them too

Supercharger rebuilds has them for 200. I should be able to have the bearings pressed onto the shafts for under 100 bucks right? whats a reasonable price for a shop to put the head unit back together? I have it apart down to the driveshafts i didnt try taking the impeller off yet thats the only thing left on there.

MMGT1 · 05-02-2012, 08:36 PM

bearings in and put together should not cost you more than 150 man. I got mine done for 100 bucks from a Pontiac Club sponsor here in Burlington

That what i was thinking but i found a local shop who has experience with the v9s and they qouted me "at least 500"

Got another email back from a local shop... apparently nobody is interested in making some quick cash for a couple of minutes in front of a press!!

k6ng6r00 · 05-07-2012, 03:58 PM

Thanks to a very generous local machine shop the head unit is now completely stripped down to the bare driveshafts:

Slipping on the new bearings should be a cinch on the lab press at school! For $750 vortech might as well just rebuild my ass

MMGT1 · 05-09-2012, 11:05 AM

Do you have the belt for the kit? If you do, whats the part # on it? Mines so dam old I cant see it anymore...lol

k6ng6r00 · 05-09-2012, 01:33 PM

Nope i still need the belt, and that stupid air assist fitting from vortech
The head unit is all back together, looks mint. Zspecs crappy driveshaft is currently having an extra keyway machined and i should have it back tomorrow.

Im going to the store this week to get the stuff to do the oil drain tap, i need to change my oil so just I'm going to pull the pan and do it. What kind of fitting should i look for? Im also going to need the t tap for the oil feed where the oil pressure sensor is, not sure what I need for that either...

xXManwhoreXx · 05-09-2012, 01:35 PM

Sweet!

k6ng6r00 · 05-09-2012, 02:08 PM

Machine shop pulled the bearings, miked the output shaft which was true to ~.00001 inch (perfect) and now they are upgrading the z spec driveshaft. will update with pictures when i get the shaft back

xXManwhoreXx · 05-09-2012, 03:12 PM

I still cant find a macbine shop in my area to do my bore and milling

k6ng6r00 · 05-11-2012, 06:28 PM

pics of the upgrades: note how little material is holding the original keyway together on the left... new keyway is on the right.

k6ng6r00 · 06-10-2012, 10:19 AM

Car was broken into friday night... unfortunately i lost everything because it was sitting in the back seat ready to go to the shop and get installed...

Heres a list of what is missing...
vortech v9 head unit w/ brand new bearings & seals
vortech blow off valve
2 complete rsm driveshaft assemblys & spare replacement bearings
Gatorback belt
Rsm N body transmission mount
Rsm W body transmission mount
various brass oil fittings & lines
5 quarts mobil 1
Oil filter
aem wideband kit
overkill pcm
Tomtom one 130 gps & suction cup & charger
Droid razr maxx car dock & charger
Nintendo 64 & mario cart

Probably other stuff i havent realized yet. Fortunately they werent too smart because they tried to pry my double din out with a mechanial pencil... and obviously failed...

If anyone hears about any of this stuff around, please contact me immediately. Detectives have swabbed the car for prints since i guess the value makes it grand theft? They are on the hunt.

billytheman1188 · 06-10-2012, 10:47 AM

Duuuuuuuuuude.......nooooooo......i mean i leave stuff in my back seat sometimes but i cover it up! Ahhhh that sucks.

DJx79x · 06-10-2012, 10:54 AM
