Rotrex Superchargers
I've been curious about these for a while. Anybody know much about these in the real world.
http://www.rotrex.com/ The Koenigsegg (kind of my favorite Hyper Car), uses them OE. |
They're supposed to be the most efficient superchargers, doesn't use a gear drive from my understanding.
But the reality is with a street car (IMHO) once you bolt on a supercharger, efficiency isn't a huge concern. I can build more power than I'd ever want to. Getting it down without breaking stuff is the problem. Besides, I'm wiling to bet that they don't make a kit for an LS1. |

I like the idea of silently adding a small amount of boost (<= 6lbs) to my otherwise Hi-Comp motor. |

I may regret saying this as I watch you fly past me at the track, but you can drop your compression quite a bit with a HG. I could have dropped my compression a full point with a Cometic HG. I opted to drop it only 1/2 a point. But they make them as thick as .12, maybe even thicker. And the consensus seems to be that with a boosted engine, quench is not important. |

Some juice, some headers, and your slicks... you'd be untouchable. |

My car needs bigger tires and much bigger brakes to handle the twisties with the SC. NA it was almost a perfect match for carbon canyon.
