Vortech noise...

Griswald · Feb 28, 2013

[Hey everybody,I just finished installing the v3 sci low boost kit, and I'm not sure if all is well. All videos I've ever heard have a whistling sound, and mine has a grinding or rattling sound. Any body have this same sound? Is this something I should worry about?

The new v-3's are pretty quiet but that doesnt sound right. Did you put oil in the compressor?

It's brand new, and came pre filled with their synthetic red oil. I made sure to check with the "built in" dipstick.

honestly doesn't sound that much different from the v3 sci we just put on a 5.3 ls tahoe. the sci seems to have a little growl to it where the si's i've seen haven't.

Yeah sounds normal to me. It actually sounds just like my V2-SQ trim. The helical cut gears sound more like a (wer) than a (whistle).

Thanks guys! That's reassuring! I've never heard any model in person, only YouTube vids. I had no idea what to expect.

Nothin prettier than the sound of the V1's. I had a sc-trim for 7 years. I recently swapped it for a V2-SQ.

Kinda miss the sound of the V1 but really love the added boost at lower rpms and 2.5 psi more than before up top.

They make new pistons every day, so why worry?
