I had read here some time ago someone comparing the Radix or maybe just a regular 112 to either a B&M or Weiand roots type blower as far as efficiency and performance does anyone know? I would appreciate it.

 

There is absolutely no comparison that can be made with the above mentioned superchargers. The Radix/112 is a 5th gen hybrid roots that has taken the efficiency of a roots blower beyond what any of the other roots blowers could imagine. With the twisted rotors and APC the Radix runs very tight tolerances that allow it to operate at speeds and conditions that would have destroyed early style roots blowers. Trying to compare it to a 3 or two lobe roots would be like trying to compare a 75 year old woman to an 18 year old virgin (woman).

 

nice comparason.......


Well here is the goal I guess what I need is to find out it's specs and I dont understand the charts.


I need to know the following if you could help it would be fantastic.

1 island flow/cfm
2 rotor speed/rpm
3 peak efficiency/%
4 surge flow/cfm
5 belt ratio
6 boost limit/psi
7 pressure ratio
8 internal ratio
9 intercooler efficiency/%


What I'm trying to do is get some accurate specs for my Dyno Sym program. I'm just trying to get some idea of the potential for a "possible" project of putting one of these on the 4.3L I like the idea, I just want to get a rough idea of what it'll be worth. If you can help me I would greatly appreciate it. Also I realize some of those specs may apply only to turbos if so lemme know because I'm new to the S/C deal I've built a number of motors they were just all N/A.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

 

alot of that info is not available from EATON, however moregrip has complied alot of it through horse trading with people in the industry and is using the SAME sofware as you. I am sure he will post up.

 

Thanks Brian I appreciate the responses hopefully Grippy will post up too.

 

TTT, if anybody has some info it will help me tremendously. Thanks

 

Can anyone help me with this info? Please?

 

yes, I'll get you some info later tonight

 

perfect I appreciate it man. Thank you.
