thus is the nature of the beast!

When in doubt upgrade, lol

 

v8 app is already available

 

damn sob's leaving us 4 bangers behind

 

after looking at the website looks like its the r1900 for me. maybe the 2300 so i dont have to get a bigger SC when i switch to a 460 later. it would cost me 12k to build my 351W stroker. but id rather spend 2-4k to SC my current motor then build another one. all i really need is another 100hp or so. should be able to put me in the running for the BBORR

 

The only bad thing about this TVS coming out now is that a lot of ppl have spent a lot of money on stage kits. It'll be like starting all over. For me, it's a toss up. Depending on how much this TVS costs and how much hp and trq it provides, I'll be stuck between a GM stage 2 and this new TVS Supercharger. Decisions decisions.......................

 

lucky for me, i havent done anything to my ride yet lol

 

The TVS will be quite the gain over the M62, you guys. If you read the post it said the TVS will be a 4-lobe design opposed to our current 3-lobe. More Boost, Faster Boost, Less Heated Boost (Theoretically, hopefully this proves true), Faster car. There is no question about it... The TVS WILL outperform our current M62! I'm already saving. Hopefully, I'll have it on in 2012!

 

This says it all, your green numbers are what RPM the S/C is spinning at.

 

In laimen's (sp) terms please........

 

and it needs to be for a carbd v8. no fuel injection for me. it doesnt belong on a 65.

 

if i am reading the graph right it looks like this thing will have lag that the m62 didnt have but the high end is highly effecient. so the trade off is lag to gain power. in all honesty that would be a decent trade when you think about it since our issue right now is too much power to the wheels causing insane wheel hop prompting many to spend lots on trying to prevent the wheel hop.

 

There is not going to be lag. You don't get lag with a supercharger (unless its a centrifugal). True that the TVS flows less at low RPM, and more at high. That simply means you will have to use a smaller pulley, or a larger crank pulley (or both like the cobra guys). Then when the engine is at low rpm the blower will be at higher rpm, then with the stock blower, problem solved

 

Yeah The TVS should be pretty badass! Only takes time.

 

like all things do unfortunatly

 

Its sill pushin more air at the low end than the m62 is, but by not by much. When the m62 is out of breath the TVS is just getting started to kick ass.

 

Thats what I like, more boost as well! I want to the whine from one of these things!!!

 

Hello everyone. New member havent read all of these posts yet but I will see what I can find out for you that I can release. I work for Eaton and just bought a Cobalt so I am interested myself, but I will share what I can.

 

is the projected release date for this still late next year

 

You don't get "lag", more of a dead spot in the rpm range (lag). BUT, if the blower takes too much power at a low rpm (when your engine isn't making a lot of power... you do get a sort of lag... like our car now around 2000 rpm. So throwing an M90 or larger S/C on your car is going to end up hurting you because of this. All S/C's have an Engine size range. BUT, The thing is... This supercharger isn't going to take as much power to run, SO you shouldn't have any more "lag" than you do now.

I'm still curious why your name is Red2.4SS/SC? And if you ACTUALLY do have a 2.4 SS/SC... how'd you do it... what's the dyno... and Show us some pics.

 

ok i don't know if this has been asked yet but is the tvs twin screw or roots type? or just a hybrid of the two?

 

It's a rootes type with 4 lobes instead of the standard 3 on the 5th generation M62 we have.

 

also the rotors are twisted 160 degrees as oposed to the standard 120 degrees that the m-62`s are twisted

 

ok so will it run cooler? and is it comparable to a twin screw in performance gains? i know these answeres may not even be out yet but if they are i wanna know before i buy a twin screw.....which will be very very soon

 

not to go off topic but i thought your ss was black? not blue.
edit: i got you confused with denny

 

The launch for the new Supercharger for aftermarket use will be Mid next year at the earliest. There will also be a bolt on WARRANTED supercharger kit for the 2.4 from GM performance parts sometime Mid next year.
