Is Vortech the brand that you have to drill into the oil pan to keep the system lubed?

Thanks,

Mark

Yes,Vortech is one of the units that use its host engines oil system.

I have a brand new Vortech in the box--never openned that I will sell at a very good price--went with the Magnuson instead.

Thanks, I'll go back to Maggie.

Maggies have that instant boost that comes from a roots blower--best I have used on the street!

I can hardly drive a stock H2 anymore--they downshift too often from 4-3 on hills--drives me crazy.

Even with 4.56 gears, THAT is the EXACT reason why I want the supercharger. I have had maggies in the past, I just came across a super deal on a vortech and wanted to see where it gets its lubrication from.

I WILL NOT use a supercharger that gets its lube from the oil pan. Hate that idea...

Mark

That's how I felt too. That and the drilling a hole in the oil pan, but I've been running a Vortech S-Trim in my Mustang for about 8 years now on two different engines. First engine built on the stock block and producing a little over 500HP and now on a new DSS block custom heads, etc making a bit over 600HP (detuned from over 750HP to keep everything together for a little longer and have had absolutely no problems with the supercharger. Granted, I hardly drive it any more (3-4 times a year, maybe more this year since my son's getting older), but I used to drive it all the time and have put quite a few miles on the Vortech.

The roots style blowers do have that low end grunt you might want in a truck though...

Search button would help on the roots vs. centrifical blower debate, but:

1-The Vortech is killer on a lighter, geared auto tranny/stick vehicle. The poking of the pan is no big deal...I have done it a bucnh of times without any problems.

2-The roots style blower is way better choice for a heavy,auto tranny,AWD/4WD vehicle. Makes boost much sooner.

3-3Rd otion is the turbo kits...althought not in high production, a good kit will make really good (the best?) power all the way around. Livernois has a Caddy kit that can be re-clocked to fit an H2. Expect a higher price for aquisition...
