yeah. the rotrex appears to be the best of both worlds. lets hope it gets released soon and we can see for ourselves. i'm first in line

 

lol 1st in line behind me.

Trust me once you feel what this thing does you will shite ur pants!

 

How do you know it will be best of both worlds? Is there a full dyno of the finished kit somewhere I have missed?

The greddy kit has full torque at about 3500 rpm, I don't see how a belt driven supercharger can do that.

I hope I am wrong though!

 

It's called roots type supercharger:

MY02 with Eaton MP62 @ 6.8 PSI (90F ambient temps)



I think the Rotrex has great potential but fear it is just a centrifugal SC. As far as peak HP - the Rotrex should be capable of making more peak HP than the roots, since it can be spun so fast and still be in its efficiency window.

 

boost is supposed to kick in way earlier with the rotrex as compared to the centrifugal kits currently out. earlier torque....that is the biggest draw for me.

 

Sorry I should have clarified that by saying a centrifugal supercharger. The roots kit you have will not fit a RHD so no use to me otherwise I would be interested.

I don't believe that this rotrex unit will provide much more low down punch than other centrifugal designs.

Brilliant: you say boost is supposed to kick in way earlier than with other centrifugal kits... Have you seen a full dyno from a finished car?

All I have seen is a laminated dyno that doesn't even show the full rev range. On the dyno I have seen it takes all the way to 6000 rpm before you are making as much torque as the greddy turbo kit is making at 3500.

I will believe it when I see it.

 

AFAIK the rotrex is just a viscous coupled centrifugal compressor. If there were some planetary gears that spun it faster at lower input rpm's and then backed it off at higher rpm I could see it. Unfortunately a variable speed drive would be extremely expensive.

 

The Rotrex Kit thay Jackson Racing developed are amazing! I currently have their kit on my Fit... It is just amazing, I can only imagine how it feels on the S. Anyone looking to supercharge in the Future I recommend this kit over anyother out right now!

 

We will have that info soon. How much boost is the greddy kit running and what number are they making at 3500? our test was at only 6lbs. once tuning is complete and we are able to make a full pull there will be no other choice.

I want function not a dyno queen car

 

man all this hype. i can't wait for the kit to come out!?!?!
