Hold up brother. Someone needs to stop posting and start learning.Quote:

Jackson Racing is an older company that used the Eaton series, model M62 (on itr anyway). They had an inefficient design which resulted in very hot IAT at boosts above around 9psi, and thus high power ouptut was limited potential and required a heat exchanger setup. Eaton have just released the TVS series of chargers which have a roots style setup, but is referred to as a Twin Screw setup due to the evolvement in design. This is much more efficient, however still not as efficient as a centrifugal system (Rotrex, Vortech etc). The fact that a centrifugal needs revs to boost (still no lag, just a more linear power delivery) means that the Eaton series chargers will be more responsive at low rpm as full boost is achieved a basically idle -- The centrifugal setups will have close to full boost by 3500rpm and have the capacity to build up to 25 psi efficiently with an intercooler setup.
I am assessing my options currently and looking to go with rotrex -- Expensive excercise, expect around $10-$12k + ECU.
the problem is with roots superchargers is that not many spint he same way our engines do. There are only limited off the shelf blowers, and they arnt efficent on our motors at high-RPM. There is a good supercharger thread on h-t where a guy is experiementing with a custom 500hp root blower on a b-series motor.
Most chargers can be made to spin CCW FYI .. Small modifications required.
I am looking at a rotrex which is the latest and greatest centrifugal type. Quite efficient relly up to 25psi if required.
vortech > JRSC
Small mods = false. Your looking at a custom made housing for a start, and the housing must be cnc'd and designed for good flow charctoristics.Quote:

Look into Kraftwerks (aka JRSC) new S/c kits. VERY good power outputs in S2K platforms out of the box bolt on.
Also Comptech is another one to look into.
I meant the rotrex is the most technologically advanced of the centrifugal type to my knowledge.. I think the new JRSC are rotrex based anyway.
Might have found a cheapish JRSC setup with LHT cooler from the states ..
Rotrex are the new JRSC / Kraftwerks kits - Correct.
Be wary, when I did my conversion with the Comptech Sc kit, there are a number of changes due to the LHD to RHD conversion ; more than you may think.
