Price List...

This is the first time I've posted in this thread, but I have been watching with earnest since it began. I already have a complete V2 kit that is uninstalled, but I want it to be the best it can be with the V1 bracket you have been working on. I am very thankful you are doing this. I know you mentioned some prices way back in the thread, but I didn't know they had been finalized. Could you please send them to me or post them. Also, I may not be able to gather the funds for your first round of brackets...when do you plan on doing the second round.

If you are looking for a 100% reliable supercharger, then you definetly want to go with the V1 Plate kit. I like to do things right, the first time so things dont have to be torn down 2 months later due to a shredded belt like youll most likely be looking at with the V2 kit.

The second round will all depend on how fast the first batch sell out and if there is even a market past the orginal batch.

The price list will be up on Monday or Tuesday, with pics and the availabilty to pay.

Ill add you to the orginal list on page 1

The kit pics will be up as soon as hopefully Tuesday afternoon....maybe wed or thursday.

The Kit will include a Steel V1 Plate, Modified Thermosat housing with new Nissan thermostat, Idler Pulley, 2 bolts needed for the plate, and peice of hardware for the Idler Pulley.

These starter kits will offer people to put a SuperCharger in there Maxima, 95-01, fairly cheaply. With this kit, you will be able to do a full kit for under $2300 and have a super reliable super charger kit. alot more reliable than the V2 kits you see around today

So far the best place that I found for a new SC unit. www.superchargersonline.com. Authorized vortech dealer. The V-2 S trim on straight/CCW is for $1799.00 Brand new from vortech directly $2042.00 Just a heads up for people looking to put this together. If anybody finds other places post them up.

just to double check... any vortech supercharger (just the supercharger, not piping, tubes, etc) will work with kit you're (really hopefully) putting out?
if so, put me on that list as well (if price is good)

Hey put me down for the second run. I'm interested if you're willing to sell just the plate. One of the arms on my V1 plate is broken and I've been running it ghetto style for a while.

Any Supercharger that Vortech Puts out that is "Counter Clockwise Driven" and "Straight Discharge" will work. Im sure you can get a curved discharge blower to work, but the charge piping will have to go a different route

You have been added..

When pics are out in the Final Thread, there will a price breakdown for buying seperate parts of the kit, and a price list for the kit as a "KIT"

quick question is the plate made out of stainless or carbon steel. If it's stainless I can get it electroplated. if carbon steel I will powdercoat it.

Price List is out, but the Final Pics and Final Thread is not..I should be going down to pick up all the kits on Friday afternoon, or Monday. The thread with pics and a price list will be out then. I dont want to release a price list just yet, without pictures of everything.

Thanks everyone for being patient. This isnt a really easy thing to put together considering every peice needs to be hand made except for the cuts and drills.

**UPDATE**

It will be a bit longer before I have kits to send out....I had to order an S-Trim Head Unit from VORTECH as a Mock up for each and every plate, so when you recieve the plates, they will be perfect.

I ordered the Blower Unit tonight and they said they will be shipping in 4 days...takes some time to make it...Once I get that in, it should be quick for the units to be made.

Ive put alot of time and money into this project, and I want it to be perfect when people recieve them. I know I should have purchacased another Unit when I first started the project, so my car could stay running, but I didnt think that far ahead of time.

-matt

**For everyone that has paid in full, your kits will be going out 1st. I apologize for the inconvience and full refund will be available if you decide to back out. I want to 100% stand by my product and I really cant if I dont have a "JIG" Blower Unit to fit into each and every plate.

I have one from a kit other than mine. Once the kits start going out, I'm going to have drainback plates made, order bolts and introduce a "V1 Starter Kit" along with the "V1 Convertion Kit" for people converting from V2 to V1

I have three people paid and I would kind of like to keep it at that. Having three that have to go out ASAP is a burden in itself. Hold on to your money and wait for pics. Even if I have 20 People paid, the kits arent going to made any faster..I havent recieved any emails from you jeepman17@aol.com
Once there all made, Ill be making a New thread that Will be Stickyed, with pics and I will PM most of the people on the list that are interested. I will be sure to emial you

Thanks for understanding

Once the mock up comes, I can be 100% sure each plate that leaves my house is 100% correct. No guessing when it comes to these.

Keep an eye on Ebay. I have an S-Trim comin to my house that I will include with a Plate Kit. Fully rebuilt Unit, less than 2000 miles on it. The plates are looking good, just takin a bit longer than I expected. They will be perfect, I promise that.

I spoke with Stillen today, as I was ordering all bolts from them for the Blower to plate hex hed bolts, since every bolt place I check sell these bolts for $8.75 A PIECE, and the guy on the phone was getting kinda suspisious. He asked me what I was using these bolts for " So your building a super charger kit"..and Im like "yea, your old V1 style plate, Im trying"..and we both chuckled...Not to sure they really care
