Which Smog Delete Kit With Vortech?

HGFireHazard · Feb 8, 2007

I've heard good things about the UPR kit, but I've also heard their are fitment issues with those that run a vortech and the bracket. I'm not much of a guy for grinding and modifying (but I will if I have to...), so is there another kit that other vortech users use that just went in without a problem? Thanks.

EDIT: UPR's site now says "will work with all supercharged applications". Has someone bought one recently that fits up well with a vortech?

I'm in the same boat as you right now. I'm just going to delete it totally, no dead pulley even though i bought one. This weekend i have to figure out what belt size i need and how to route it. Once I do, i'll post up here.

I have Steedas kit in my car. Bolted right up. Took about 5 minutes.

Thanks, I didn't know that Steeda made a kit, but dang I'm not willing to spend $120 on a smog delete... that's ridiculus. If I can't find another viable solution I'll just end up getting the UPR one and hopefully doing as little modification as possible. I wouldn't mind just running a short belt, but I don't want all that empty space chilling in there with the vortech bracket either. Whatever route I go I'll post the results as well.

i had the upr pulley on my car, no grinding or anything like that. a few extra washers to space it evenly was about it.

I was thinking that things would be more sturdy with the delete bracket in there, but I suppose if I just put the bolts back in it would be practically the same anyways. I'm still curious about the short belt route so still let me know.

i have the old steeda smog eliminator (made by asp). i got it for $50 direct from them. it fits fine with the vortech wih no fitment issues at all. honestly though, if i wasnt already running a belt with no a/c or p/s pullies, i would just delete it all together.

okay, heres the scoop. can't just delete the smog pump. the alternator is mounted toward the center too much. the tensioner bottoms out and barely does anything. I put the delete pulley i got on there. haven't got a belt yet though. I couldn't tell you what brand the pulley is, cause the guy never said and there are no markings on it. kinda looks like UPR quality though.
