The Potomac River runs less than a mile past our home.
Its a place of peace near here.

I used to have some pictures of it in my locker, but I downsized it.

Send me your E-Mail and I'll send you some pictures.

Do you have pics of your car with this supercharger mounted??? I've never seen something like that... the turbo core looks.... almost handmade...

So it works good?? How much for a complete kit for the SVX??

Looks interesting.
The Rotrex is a centrifugal blower, it's similar to the type that SVXfiles uses. Essentially what you are using would be a turbocharger that is belt driven, rather than driven by exhaust gases.

They are not as quick to spool up and deliver oooomph as a positive displacement blower.

Against that, they don't have a ceiling like a PD blower. A PD blower runs out of puff beyond certain revs and can only deliver certain amounts of boost. The faster you can spin this type, the more it will pump.

I like the Rotrex, it has a fabulous gearbox drive and is very compact for the output. I was going to use one on mine before I defected to the PD camp.

Joe

PS, they are NO WAY cheap. Good kit though.
