I would re check that info you stated above,eaton is NOT affiliated with Vortech,and I
guess my Magnacharged 7.0 liter does not exsist!

OH! BTFW it put's 600+ to the Wheels

 

Ok well we will pretend for arguments sake that the roots blower that vortech/paxton had hangin out at their booth has nothing to do with Eaton.

All I can say is what I saw renewed my faith in that company. Their kits are complete as can be and have excellent customer support.

600 to the wheels but I would guess if you hot lap it at the track 2 times she's out of breath.

I am a firm believer in centrifugal superchargers for the simple fact it's my job to design and regulate air systems. The roots blowers for high velocity high pressure systems died out in the early 70's because of lack of efficiency volume to compression ratio. It takes entirely too much volume to match the heat created by the close proximity the rotors need to pass to compress the air at a higher point. Beyond that it takes less potential energy to spin a centrifugal fan than it does a bind style roots compressor. There is a reason turbo's are so efficient and its not just the fact they create next to no paracidic loss. It has everything to do with the fact that they can compress the air on the cold side in a much more efficient chamber. One that allows more heat exchange.

When you come by tomorrow for the bbq I can dig out some numbers and prove my statements a little better to ya.

All I can say on this one is you can't argue with modern design.

Incidentally check the numbers in my sig.
5 psi made 500 hp on a 370. With a d1sc procharger with a weak tune that was running 10.9:1 afr's

Even Garth stfu after I put down the number on his dyno. with low boost.

See ya tomorrow

 

What part do you NOT understand! IT IS NOT E-A-T-O-N!

I would enjoy pairing them up.And i will leave the third seat in for ya!on my third hot lap!you can start of cool!

 

Let's not pretend!They copied an idea of a blower designed years ago!For argument sake,that blower style was a copy of Magnuson's work not Eaton!J-tube and all.
mmm!Jedi mind trick must be! Smoke and mirrors in english that is!

Again See previous post.


BLA BLA BLA! Apples to Apples? Ask your buddy Zippy(AN EYE WITNESS) about the Vortech Vette and the Maggie Vette. @ GLD Same C5's Back to Back to back, 10.90@128mph Magnacharged,11.30's @128 Vortech version.There are three strikes in baseball and that vortech C5 WUZZ OUT Beat em like a dead horse! the only thing heating up was that Vortech owner getting smoked!

You diggin up dyno numbers Now?? I have track times!

If You mean to tell me that Lysolm(Yeah! thats what you did not see in Vortech's booth)copying a blower configuration originally designed by magnuson(Radix style)and releasing as new is modern.You need to wake up.Have you seen a maggie lately?I will spell it out for you T.V.S.That's an EATON! Now that's Modern!

Again you are using dyno Number's.
GOT TRACK TIMES?!

Opinions are what the are,try to keep them objective.I have stated facts and hopefully the original thread starter can gain usefull info on what CAN be done with all the FI kits out there.
As for you?

Oh! It's on like donkey kong!

 

another vote for ProCharger. and if you get one, go strait to the D1. impressed the heck out of me tonight

 

Which supercharge they are using on the ZR1?

 

tvs 2300

 

vortech's twin screw unit is NOT a TVS.

its actually Lysholm internals (whipple formerly used them, and lost their contract with Lysholm) available as a 2.3l and 3.3l

 

Magna...

 

I think it's funny people getting on the Vortech, roots-style band wagon when it's been Vortechs stance to bash the roots-style blowers.

Can't beat 'em, join 'em I guess....
