View Full Version : My Vortech Kit is 4 Sale, Someone's getting a deal.
Ive had my fun with it and its time to move on. I am offering the Vortech stuff as a 'ship to you package' or 'get it installed at my house' package.
Heres a shot of the engine bay:

and another...
http://www.mercurymarauder.net/showcase/files/4/0/4/Marauder002.jpg
The kit is set up for an 8 Rib belt, which is far superior to the 6 rib. I do have the 6 Rib hardware, so the choice is yours.
The kit will consist of:
Vortech Polished T-Trim
Vortech Water to Air Intercooler
Brand new Intercooler Pump
Bracket for the 98 Cobra Timing Cover -or- Bracket for the 03 Marauder Cover
All of the pipes, hoses & clamps.
98 cobra Timing cover (Not powdercoated) (If you want 8 Rib)
Vortech Mini Race Bypass Valve
4" Power Pipe w/custom made bypass pipe.
4" Mandrel bend intake elbow from TurboHoses
MAF relocation Bracket and SCT BA2400 MAF
MAF harness extender
IAT Sensor
Notched alternator to clear blower pulley (8 Rib)
Custom coolant crossover pipe.
Belt
42 LB injectors
The powdercoated Red upper and lower intake. (Not the fuel rails)
Air Filter
You will need to get the following:
Relocated coolant Reservoir
Intercooler tank and heat exchanger. (Does not have to be the same one Dennis provides in the kit, I can help you out with this one)
Fuel pump(s) and Boost a Pump
Cobra Fan shroud
http://www.mercurymarauder.net/showcase/files/4/0/4/Marauder006.jpg
Most of you do not know that I have a stock motor back in the car. I got it off of Ebay a few months back. With 14 lbs of boost, this kit just made 520rwhp and 465rwtq. Its a beast.
I am letting it all go for $3700 + shipping.
If you want it installed, we will have to hammer a price dependent on your decision to go 8 rib or 6 rib.
Please dont PM me asking me my future plans or why im doing this.
Thanks and a few more pics:

Good luck on selling Zack as that rig will sure make someone happy.

The only thing louder at Cleveland than Zack's pipes was Mike's snoring( Ask Sandy)
To anyone around Florida, I can ship everything to Dennis and he could install it for you. And supply the missing pieces of the kit Im not including.
Im negotiable on the price, gotta get my Kenne Bell ordered.

Yes but Im gonna prove that the kit from Kenne Bell can be bolted on.
The intake tract WILL be on the passenger side, its gonna be an 8 Rib setup and all bracketry Kenne Bell supplies will be used.
All accessories and blower will run off of one belt.

I'm REALLY interested in this project! Yes, Yes, Yes!!!
I've rolled this same idea around in my head for some time now...
I received some good information from Todd/'Effster' on his install.
I was considering buying a Kenne Bell Mach I kit and then having a mirror image blower intake adapter CNC machined to work on my Marauder.
The only problem was that the cost didn't justify the project vs. waiting for a Trilogy twin-screw upgrade.
Hope all works out well Zack, it will be a SICKer ride than you already had!

You know what is involved in moving the intake tract to the passenger side? Ill tell everyone.
Relocating the battery adjacent to the washer fluid reservoir. And buying longer pos and neg cables.
Extending the IAC and TPS harness
Extending the MAF harness.
Thats it. Few hours of work in my garage.
I will take pics of the whole project.

Just wondering, why relocate the battery? Both of the centrifugal Air-Air offerings demonstrate that the MAF sensor can be mounted sideways and the intake tube could go from the MAF sensor to the throttle body located on the opposite side of the engine.

My day will come. Until then...have Nitrous. Will hurt someones feelings regardless.:cool:

The oem battery box will be used as the MAF bracket and the filter will be below it.
It is not necessary to do it this way, but it looks good in my head at this point.

Speaking of NOS, I have a used Zex kit with 2 bottles, all the lines, solenoids, heater, gauge, switches and other goodies. I bought it from Bradley G and never used it. Hell I never even took anything out of the box.
Willing to sell it to get my Kenne Bell.
To the purchaser of this:
My tech line will be at your disposal 24/7
I will also include a picture CD of every component location to ease the installation process.

Dude, if Trilogy did not already have my deposit money, this thread would have been dead on the second post.
And I like the powder coating, too!

You really need the 8 rib timing cover to have good results. I would say its more of a weekend project.
But if you bite on it, you can drive over and we will do everything.

This is an extraordinary deal, especially considering that Zack will install it for you. FWIW, Zack is one of the VERY few people I would trust implicitly with my car and I have the utmost faith that the job would be done right...BETTER than right, in fact.
