don't worry you'll be able to get a good usage from the tvs. just make sure you sell it right before the 1.6L comes out or else you'll take a huge hit on it

nope goin active. hopefully hit E4 before my 3 years are up sicne i'm going in as an E2. then getting a degree and reenlisting as a CO

 

intrested!!

 

in due time

 

There is only one company that makes a 1.6L TS...

The other guys claiming to make one (the guys from Fresno), don't actually build one. It's just something to look pretty on a website.

 

i am interested as i would like to stay with a supercharger but want the power gains of a turbo

 

I said they should do a 1.6 when they were doing the 1.2, since hondas have the 1.6 (350+ @ 16psi) option
http://www.redshiftmotorsports.com/R...erchargers.htm

I believe that the 1.6 would get 400+ with ease since my reenginered and upgraded RAW Lysholm 1200AX kit is pumping out close to Areas numbers the 1.6 would be sick! When I get my new clutch in and ported head I will post up my dyno to prove how sick a twinscrew powerband is.

 

that looks like it's set up for air-air intercooling. i wish a vendor would take note of that haha

 

whats the expected time frame on this

 

Like people are going to pay $5k for a blower setup when they can turbo for a fraction of that

 

not releasing any specific numbers ( bc they dont exist yet) but 5k is way off..

also not a thread of which is better blown or turbo.. some prefer one or the other.. this is for gaining interest in people that love the powerband of a blower and understand their needs/wants of what they want to do and want to stay supercharged while having the option of making a lot of power

we can always argue that one way may be cheaper for more peak power.. but this isnt for that

on the test car.. shooting for the next few weeks for it to be on.. but no promises

when it does get on.. there will updates, opinions, possibly numbers

gotta see how it reacts

 

Feel free to ship me the blower, I'll be the test car

 

lol k

btw how ur 80s treatin u? smooth?

just curious.. u can pm me so we can keep the thread on topic

 

pm'd

 

My point was that if that is the link to the shop and that is a possible price point (or anywhere near it) then the market isn't here for it. You said it'd be a bit north of the 1320. The 1320 is ~$2,200 again now...

I'm supercharged, and will remain that way so I was not starting a he said she said thing.

 

and his point is that more than 2x the price is not what he calls "a little north of"

I'd love to see it come to market, though i (obviously) wont be buying one. It's something i always wanted for my balt when i had her

 

This must be the blower RAW played with some.

I am very much interested in it.

 

I believe the blower the raw was working on was at its max in rpms and eff with the stock pulley it came with, this I would hope not be the same case.

 

spot on

i wasnt tryin to jump at ya tom tom if thats what ya felt

 

i have been dying to go super for a while now i would definately be all over this, cant wait!

 

RAW was toying with the 1.2L twinscrew... the blower in question is the 1.6L.
Although the 1.2 was a decent blower, the 1.6L has far more potential behind it.

 

my questions, is when will the parasitic loss start to overcome possible gains.

(if anyone has anything insightful about this like an equation i'd be quite interested)

I mean ****, why not just throw the tvs 2300 on there if not for size limitations

also, i've read that turbos' efficiency grows with size since airflow grows at a rate larger than frictional loss and a lot of other stuff that goes straight over my head

Anybody have any info on this regarding positive displacement superchargers



not to be pessimistic but the cobalt community has seen a lot of "innovations" that produced less than expected results.

 

you just gotta read some compressor maps. Ideally, you want a blower that will put you in its efficiency range. you may have a blower that is big enough so that you never get the airflow numbers that are in its efficency range, but you still have the increased parasitic loss of spinning a much larger blower.

Its fairly application specific unless you're talking about bolting it to a stock ss/sc

 

sounds like a good idea...i just finished my clutch install and will be startingmy engine build...depending on the actual cost, i may go for a 1.6l over the tvs im planning on..hopefully all goes well for ya

 

of course we are all interested. I'd like to see what comes of this for sure.

 

in for info
