vortech after cooler doesnt fit!!!

[chromeyellow98]

well i have been working on installing water/air on my car for three weeks on and off....and on the last day when i think im gonna finish....there is no way the vortech kit for (98 cobra) will fit on my car w/ paxton novi 2000. i knew i was going to have to get a hump coupling with an agle but i mocked it all up and the tubing was facing right into my coil pack about 35 degrees away from the supercharger. so i am basically DIW (dead in the water) now and im pissed, hope all you guys' weekend projects go well!

any advise from some one who has had a similar problem?
or i may stick w/ alot of water meth...

when you buy the kit from vortech you have to clock the supercharger to get the right angle, look up in the manuals, you might be able to do it with a paxton

As someone already stated you have to reclock the blower..

 

[chromeyellow98]

yes i know that... it still wont match up with the sc because the tube that should connect to the sc point 35 degrees toward the back of the car (right to the coilpack)

Can you post a pic?

 

[chromeyellow98]

unfortunately no i dont, it is like the chargecooler came up 1.5-2" too short of the sc

i put it back on to see what the problem is and i am taking pics, i will post asap but i am at work and dont think i can get them into the system. i could probably rig it w/ some flexible hose but...

Unless that bottom pipe can be clocked downwards more I don't really see how it'll fit.. Sorry bro

chris is your intake pipe one from anderson? mine seems to be "in the way" as well.

 

[98 Saleen Cobra]

Yes mine is a anderson p.p. It's not in the way at all actually.. I got ur email.. i'm not sure why yours sits to high and mine is down low.. That might actually be the correct powercooler but it just sits really high and that's why it's not fitting..

do vortech aftercoolers usually fit paxton superchargers?

 

[chromeyellow98]

ill proabably MAKE it fit this weekend
