Vortech / Paxton Official Tech Discussion Thread

beefcake · May 19, 2023

Wanted to get a thread going that guys and gals needing help or have questions or anything can have everything in one place. We'll also try to update info for different things that may be relevant to customers as well.

This is and has continued to be the vest value package out there and at this point we have thousands of cars running the kits.

Any customers that have done any kind of customizing, and things you may have changed are welcomed as well.

For the first links

I am going to put in the installation guides for the S550.

You know what is annoying about the paxton install instructions? I didn't see anything in there about installing the oil drain hose for the 2200SL kits

Got all the way done with my first centri install and had this random leftover hose with no explanation of what it is used for. Now I drain it from the top with a pump

Is it easy to add while the blower is installed on the car?

I wouldn't install until its time to drain, next time your draining, you can pull the plug and put it on

i'll review instructions and sent a note to vortech / paxton on it

I ran into same issue. I've always just stuck a small hose down thru the top and pumped the oil out. So far no issues.

Next time you drain it to do an oil change you can pull the plug and put the drain line in.

Might be worth clarifying the different compressor sizes and HP limits, pulley sizes for pump or E85, recommended injectors for fuel types?

I think that list needs to be updated the V3 JT is not on there. V7 JTB isn't either.

I have the vortech kit with 6 rib 102” belt anyone know what gates green belt I need. What’s a part # thanks.

How can I think of max boost on each blower above? Currently have a V3si and I am maxed out at 12 psi'ish or so pushing 720 rwhp on race gas. Cant throw anymore boost at it as I will be over spinning the blower. Pretty sure im maxed out from a power stand point unless im missing something?

I know it's been said for years that the stock balancer is 6.78" but has anyone ever measured it? I believe the actual grooves where the belt rides is less then that.

you use 6.78
