Does anyone have any info on the new Eaton Tvs supercharger, such as any kind of price range for it? Anything..... Please help me out

 

I dont think Eaton ever released it.

 

Wish they would give us a date.

 

They did.. the one for our application should be out btwn sept - oct of next year.
some sizes are already in production.. just not the one for us

 

Here is some good info on the TVS Supercharger.

I don't know if it's orderable yet or not. You could always email Eaton.

Eaton’s new Twin Vortices Series (TVS) is a roots-type supercharger for a variety of engine applications that delivers more power and better fuel economy in a smaller package, for uncompromising, high-performance driving.

The TVS supercharger’s patented design features four-lobe rotors and high-flow inlet and outlet ports that greatly enhance thermal efficiency, deliver higher volumetric capacity, and enable higher operating speeds. The TVS supercharger is capable of running with a high thermal efficiency (up to 76 percent) across a very wide operating range.

The improvements incorporated into the TVS design allow for the use of a smaller supercharger, reducing the package size and weight of the system. The sizes range from 350cc to 2300cc per revolution, and cover engines from 0.6 liter up to large displacement V-engines. All TVS superchargers have a 2.4 pressure ratio capability and a thermal efficiency that exceeds 70 percent, which enables more compact packaging and greater output.

The twin four-lobe rotors feature 160-degree twists. The higher helix angle of the rotors coupled with a redesigned inlet and outlet ports, improves the TVS’s air-handling characteristics without increasing the overall size of the unit. The TVS improved noise and vibration characteristics eliminate additional noise-reduction treatments, complexity and system cost.

The TVS sets a new standard of boosting device performance and reaffirms Eaton’s leadership in the performance automotive market!

that would be sweet

 

If its going to be sept-oct of '08, I would think that people would be rockin twinscrew, twincharged, and turbocharged by then. Unless the price is really right, would a TVS upgrade be worth it by then?

btw, yes I'm a newb, if I am missing something, please let me know, but be nice

 

So this is not gonna be better than a twin screw right?

 

Anyone know the price?

 

No. This will be a more effecient version of the charger that comes on the car stock. It uses 4 lobe rotors instead of 3 lobe and emulates the worm gear design of a twinscrew but this is still a roots blower. The twinscrew is still the way to go for power.

 

They told me via email that they aren't making one for our car specifically and that they would only custom produce one if there was a supporting/sponsering company. Eaton is OEM only, so we would need like computech or other retail company make/design the blower swap.

 

Not worth it in my opinion. Not when we have twin screw, twincharge and turbo right around the corner.

 

What makes you believe this?

Look at the performance maps of a twin screw and an eaton TVS.. Unless you just listen to what people tell you..

 

just wondering.. what about vortech? different style blower.. would if make a difference?

 

I never listen to what people tell me which probably why I've failed so many times I'm assuming you're talking about the maps provided off of eaton's website, which I'm not ready to trust just yet. The TVS looks like it will be a significant upgrade to the current generation of eaton blowers but remember.......it's still a roots design. It will not be able to internally compress like a twin screw can. I'm sure it will be an excellent choice for those that are looking for good low to mid range grunt but it will still suffer from compression leakage at some point........albeit a much higher point than the m62 I'm sure. I don't believe that it will be able to achieve the great top end of a screw unit. It does look to have excellent effiency but that is my concern....will it truly be quite that good. It's all basically bench racing until it is released and we have some real world results. Time will tell but I'd still stick with a screw, which is proven technology, rather than bank on eaton's hypothetical numbers at this point.

 

Appreciate the input one question though im still learning so whas twin screwing or screw?
