Re: Can anyone recommend a good supercharger for a MK4 VR6? (OLD GTI GUY)
quote:[HR][/HR]Dam this crap gets expensive. I didn't know the Vortec was going to require oil lines so thanks to climbingque for the info. I'll let you guys know how it turns out if I decide to take this route. Thanks alot! http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif [HR][/HR]
The Vortech blower has always required oil lines and will continue to do so. They'll probably put the
blower down in the same area that Z-eng did so it'll be a pretty short run for the oil lines
over to the pan. Not a big deal. The MkIV Z-eng kit doesn't look quite as plug an play as the
MkIII anyway so the labor involved with both is about the same. A MKIII Z-eng kit can be installed
from scratch in less than 2 hours by a competant DIYer. I reverted mine back to stock beside
the road with a small bag of tools in less than 90 minutes when I had a belt failure (due to a bad
water pump pulley). The MkIV kit's mounting location and routing of intake tubes and such is going
to take longer to deal with, for both kits.
That location is going to make it amazingly easy to mount an intercooler too. Start using the cogged
step up belts, smaller pulleys and the IC and it'll make some pretty serious power.
