Vortech V1 T-Trim install

[Jay]

A few questions, then ill update the thread as I start installing it.

I got a kit for my 93 corvette, its missing a few things but overall is a nice setup.

Im 100% stock at the moment, but when I install the supercharger I will be doing a electric water pump and opti replacement at the same time, im 99% sure im going to do at minimum a LT4 hot cam so I dont regret digging that deep into the motor without putting something with more bump the stock in it.

ill keep stock exhaust for the moment but down the line will put headers on it.

My first question is would the stock fuel pump and 42lb injectors cut it? It should only make 6 or 7PSI witch is fine.. Would like too see 450 wheel with headers installed.

Kit didnt come with a FMU or boost controller, So Im planning to use ostrich to tune it.

I need a new oil feed line.. or drain, im not sure witch one, I have only one of those lines at the moment and need to see witch so my question is where should I buy the replacement line that im missing.

Theres a odd piece with the kit ill take a pic of that I need to figure out where it goes as its not pictured on vortechs install guide.

heres a teaser pic.

oh yeah, I forgot to ask. How do you guys think ls9 valve springs would go with this combo?

Injectors should be fine, as far as the oil line you might be SOL as I don't think vortech makes any LT1 kits anymore. Probably could just bend your own though worst case scenario.

stock pump is a no go. if you wanted to go fmu. i think we still have one and the lines. we never used it with our t-trim. oil line is nothing special so just make one up.

got pretty far today.

Still need to know what belt to order, Water pump will be here tomorrow and the cam on Thursday. I need to decide on some valve springs, I was thinking any beehive would be good.

You can get a parts list and instructions from Vortechs web site. I made an oil supple line from -4 AN fittings and hose

T-trim on an internally stock motor? I'd strongly encourage you to do alky injection to keep it just a bit safer and live longer. And don't lean on it hard when it's hot outside.

I'd also strongly encourage you to ditch the hotcam and get a more boost-oriented cam like the XE224/236. The amount of usable power and torque it makes will blow the hotcam away, particularly in the low and mid range.

It turns out its not a T-trim.. Oh well I guess.. I was reading around online about the kit and raised some questions, after digging around it appears to be just the S-Trim that came with the vortech kit. The seller said it was "upgraded to a T-trim".
Eh what ever, i still got a pretty good deal on it.

The cam is already in, This is not a max effort build. Just a fun street car.

Along with big cat I also have a procharger (I think) fmu if you want to go that direction.

Nice repair on the ecm too!
