Maybe we could mount it on the roof with a driver controlled moveable gimbal so we could scorch the SUVs that follow us too closely in traffic. Especially those whose drivers are on their cell phones.

Did I mention an afterburner?

Personally I dislike all superchargers... I like Turbochargers alot better... More efficent and I can just "putt putt" around if I want to be off boost... Then if I want to go I can GO!!! Turbo cars are great for taking chicks out on dates My buddy's WRX wagon blew my ex-girlfriend's panties off!!! Well kinda

Funny, those are the exact reasons I like the SC better...you can drive around in bypass (off boost) when you want, and instantly have boost (no lag) when you punch it.

How does the bypass system work on a super charger?

This small valve, when properly installed between the supercharger and the air throttle body, allows the supercharger to become extremely efficient in terms of economy and parasitic power loss. Our M90 supercharger uses less than 1/3 of 1 HP at 60 MPH cruising. The bypass is operated by a vacuum actuator control unit that is normally closed. When vacuum is high (idle-cruising) the actuator opens the bypass valve, equalizing the vacuum pressure throughout the system. When boost is required (accelerating) the vacuum is decreased and the bypass valve instantly closes, causing pressure to increase into the cylinders. This equalized vacuum condition virtually eliminates the normal parasitic power loss of a forced induction system.

Hope this helps.

Most Eaton and Lysholm street applications include this kind of valve. I'm working on a system for the 1ZZ Toyota engine in the MR2 Spyder (MR-S) application. We're at over 180hp now, and working for more, with a careful eye on reliability.

If there were only more room under our hoods....

That blower is an Eaton M90 (Roots style w/twisted lobes). It is a custom application for a dune buggy. Manifold (modified) and blower cost is $3500.

I own TRiAD Motorsports, in Morton, IL.
Basically, I started selling aftermarket performance parts for sport compacts in 1994, and have since expanded to developing my own parts (adjustable tubular control arms, upper camber plates, Moton remote-reservoir multi-adjustable dampening systems, Alcon, Brembo or Wilwood big-brake packages, swaybars, stressbars, intake, exhaust, etc), in addition to carrying many street and track performance and safety parts (most comapnies in Sport Compact Car and Grassroots Magazines), and finally I also offer location, certification, modification and assisted purchasing for specialty and exotic cars, including import of non-US cars.


This is still a small operation, and unfortunately is not yet my full time gig, but as I make some money I reinvest it, and it does continue to grow. Eventually having a full facility with staff is the goal.

Right now I'm neck-deep in the MR2 SC project, and it leaves little time for anything else...it's also sucking all the funds we have to keep the process rolling. But, as mentioned, these kits can go for around $3,500ea, so once it's available, if it sells, we'll be able to expand quickly.

i will tell u one thing, if you could make a blower kit w/ this eaton sc for our svx's i am sure you will get qutie a response, just not sure if it would be worth your while. I think if you could devise a cintrifical style sc for the svx it would be less costly and more people would be more adventagous because of it's ability to be removed. Just a thought

Thanks for the thought...I gotta admit it's crossed my mind.
I personally prefer the drivability and tunability of the twin screws (Eaton or Lysholm), particularly when equipped with the blowoff valve. If I did develop a system for the SVX, it would use one of these blowers, and would necessitate a new hood, or buldge...not a great side effect, imho. But it would be completely reversible, either way.

Between the rarity of the car/engine, the stock 10:1 compression, and the lack of space under the hood, I would likely require several paid deposits before attempting this application, and I hate taking money up front.

Now...big brakes, coil-overs, swaybars, etc...hmm...
