Forced Induction Vortech V3-si On 1994 Cobra

94blackcobra · May 15, 2012

I'm shopping around for a good price on gears. One place wants $640 to do the install.

Wow. $640 for the install is steep. What size gears did you get?

94blackcobra · May 15, 2012

I haven't bought any yet but will more than likely be going with FRPP 3.73's. Yeah, that price seems outrageous to me. I called another place but they haven't gotten back with me. It may come down to me installing them myself.

InMyPrimeSVT · May 15, 2012

I have the 3.73s. I love them.

You are for sure going to have your blower powdercoated?

InMyPrimeSVT · May 15, 2012

No, I ordered the polished unit. Bob informed me that my Vortech warranty would be immediately voided. Didn't want that headache.

94blackcobra · May 15, 2012

Well, you could pay Vortech $700+ to do it.

InMyPrimeSVT · May 15, 2012

Screw that.

94blackcobra · May 15, 2012

Haha Have you thought about deleting the smog pump and the EGR?

InMyPrimeSVT · May 15, 2012

Yeah, that's coming when I get this thing installed.

94blackcobra · May 15, 2012

If you delete the smog pump, you will have to get a smog pump delete pulley to replace it with. The way the Vortech kit clocks the tensioner pulley makes it so you have to retain the smog pulley in order for it to work.

InMyPrimeSVT · May 15, 2012

Do I have to delete the smog pump if I delete the EGR?

94blackcobra · May 15, 2012

No. Is there a reason why you want to keep it?

No, they are unrelated. It's a good time to swap it for a delete pulley since you have it all apart though. You will have to get a reprogram to run without an EGR, but since you are doing the Vortech, it's a good idea to do one anyway.

Ok, I'll just delete them both. Where do I get the delete pulley for the smog pump?

I swear I've seen them in the $50 range on ebay.

Great thank you. Just ordered it up.

I bypassed my smog without a pulley and have no issues. There is a specific belt AND idler pulley you use and it works flawlessly. There will be enough tension on the belt without it squeaking! I'll get part numbers for you tomorrow. It's a b**ch getting the belt on, but it works nicely.

All the folks I've ever seen get the smog delete pulleys have had them only last a couple years before the bearings wear out.
