While The Vortech is Off.....(need some advice)

[94GTLaserRC]

Some of you have seen the post with my Vortech issues.

Just a couple of questions while I have it off:

1. SHould I just cap off the end of the oil feed hose that connects to the VOrtech, and cap off the return hose that leads away?

2. Or..is there a way to connect the feed hose to the drain hose directly.


3. If #1, does anyone know the size caps to get to cap them off?

4. I probably will get a new oil feed hose...ANyone know of a place to get a replacement in steel braided (Looks nicer )

5. Guess I can just run the car with the CAI that Joe makes, and just run rich in the meantime (36's)



Anyone that can answer any of the above, please feel free to answer whichever ones you can..

Thanks
RC

Anyone on any of the points above

Would really like to get a SB oil line, but my search turned up nothing last night.

look around for a local hydraulic shop, somewhere that services forklift and such. I'm sure they could make any type of line you wanted, probably have a selection of caps and plugs, too. good luck man

Grady..that's the return line (not really visible when installed). Im talking about the pressure feed line, which is highly visible when installed.

JR...VOrtech has them for $79.. and I can purchase it if I want and have it shipped WITH the Vortech when they return it...In the meantime, I will check out that site. (dont want to call me heh?)

Thanks

Yeah man, "NO CALL 4 U!"
We don't have a land line b/c I hate telemarketers calling all day. Our phones get bad reception here at home b/c we're so close to the base but it's all good. I can keep in touch with everyone online quicker.
Go turbo man and sell the S-Trim.

What's the matter, you gotta a "girly" voice?

ANyway, the MOST OUTRAGEOUS I will ever get with this car is 400RWPH.. I will get close with the 347 combo, but not quite. I need to sell the Vortech to get funds for it, but I wont get any $$ for it the way it is. TO get it reconditioned, an have the receipt, the value will go up.

I havent seen too many successful turbo projects yet on here.

Rob, I was thinking. With the vortech head unit off what is the top portion of the alternator going to connect to? The alt piggy backs the vortech head unit. So the alt will have the long bolt running under the bottom. What's gonna hold the top? Need to figure this out before tearing it down.

 

[94GTLaserRC]

Ill have to talk a look at it tomorrow.

ANyone have a Vortech I can borrow for a few weeks?

Just a couple of questions while I have it off:

1. SHould I just cap off the end of the oil feed hose that connects to the VOrtech, and cap off the return hose that leads away? I would cap both if ya plan on driving it with the S/C off.[/B]

2. Or..is there a way to connect the feed hose to the drain hose directly. Russel and Earls make couplers to connect hoses just have to know the -an size of both.


3. If #1, does anyone know the size caps to get to cap them off? That I do not know right off the top of my head.

4. I probably will get a new oil feed hose...ANyone know of a place to get a replacement in steel braided (Looks nicer ) Russel and Earls sells the braided hose in various sizes, but it is rather pricey for a roll of it. If there is a performance shop in your area maybe they have some pieces they can sell ya for a fraction of the cost.

5. Guess I can just run the car with the CAI that Joe makes, and just run rich in the meantime (36's) You can tweak the Fuel pressure to get it to run a little leaner, I have 30's in my N/A 302 and air fuel is 13.2:1 at 38psi with no tuning.



Anyone that can answer any of the above, please feel free to answer whichever ones you can..

Hey RC, I answered the best I can, my answers are after your ?'s in the quote above. Hope that gives you a little direction on which route to go with.

Only thing I know of is to see if anyone on here has the stock acc. bracket for that side that you could use.

I have the stock bracket, I just didnt feel like revising my entire engine while the Vortech is gone There must be some way to keep the T bracket (that connects the alt. to the VOrtech) bolted to the bracket that holds the Vortech on.

Ill take a look at it this morning. If anything Joe, Maybe I can just get the CAI from you Thursday, but not remove anything until we figure out something.

RC

 

[VibrantRedGT]

Yea, I don't want to remove the entire set up and put the stock bracket back on.

 

[94GTLaserRC]

Joe, I emailed you that 347 list. I may just rent a car while the Vortech is off.

thats what i was gong to say.

i don't think that you can mount that alternator any other way other than making a new bracket (but even then what you going to mount it to and have it strong enough) or putting the old accessory bracket back on.
