Posted 30/10/04 09:08 AM Share Posted 30/10/04 09:08 AM Macka, it might be an idea to give Rob a ring at HPF (Amberleys). They have super chargers for both the Boss Fords and LS1's. They might have something for you too.Geea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 31/10/04 09:07 AM Share Posted 31/10/04 09:07 AM Something else I'd like to add.The newer roots, screw chargers are much much much more efficient than they used to be and, though will not get on par with centriv's with the current design, are pretty close now. Though, yes they do produce a little more heat and this needs to be considered.Also note that the inlet charge is also warmer with a screw/roots as intercooling is hard to do and isn't as efficient (usually involves just sticking some cooling fins (like air con) between the manifold and the charger).BUT, what turbo's and cent' chargers do not do is give you INSTANT, and I mean absolutely instant 100% power at the flick of the throttle. Greater power gains are also to be made with a screw without as much modification (as in, less piping). Guess why everything 'competative' Pro stock and over use Chargers over turbos? (appart from a few buzz boxes and v6's). Cause there is power to be made with these suckers that nothing else can match. I wanna see one of these blowers on our boss and I6, I mean, I REALLY want to see this happen. It will be absolutely awesome watching an instant responce, near 1000hp I6 flogging the crap out of everything in the weight class.Pls, scew the Sob!!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they've got side airbags...their cheaper but! :lol: Same engine as far as I know... would look awesome! I'm seeing it now.. Futura... blue pearl... dark tint... dumped... 18's... shaker.... and supercharger... SWEET RIDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guests Posted 31/10/04 02:22 PM Share Posted 31/10/04 02:22 PM BUT, what turbo's and cent' chargers do not do is give you INSTANT, and I mean absolutely instant 100% power at the flick of the throttle. ....although s/c's have come along especially since the release of the eaton's turbo charger technology has come along in leeps and bounds. as to no lag well that upto definition and its very posible to setup a turbo to boost from idle. (see fast 4's nov 94 red gem 10psi from 1200-6000 rpm by me) this is pre today's technologyGreater power gains are also to be made with a screw without as much modification (as in, less piping). ....manifold construction aint easyGuess why everything 'competative' Pro stock and over use Chargers over turbos? (appart from a few buzz boxes and v6's). Cause there is power to be made with these suckers that nothing else can match.....cause in the states if you win a race with a turd on your rollcage tommorow all the others get theirs with the rich ones croming theirs! they also use piss and dribble injection and magneto's should we use those too? I wanna see one of these blowers on our boss and I6, I mean, I REALLY want to see this happen. It will be absolutely awesome watching an instant responce, near 1000hp I6 flogging the crap out of everything in the weight class.....macka id like to see it to and im happy to help you acheive thisPls, scew the Sob!!now this is more like it did you read my other post?im having fun again!

Then take the P^^^ss out of me and kick me off the forum, cause I don't own a xr6turbo anymore :lol: I'd probably go for a newwy if they give me a reasonable price for the Ute.Dynowog we'll talk soon before D/Day macka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
