cant wait, this is going to open the doors wide open for us....EATON reliability with high efficiency

im so glad eaton did this, guess all the eaton h8rs will have to find another form of forced induction to loathe

 

Keep in mind we have had the same video on the site for quite some time now.

check again (note the rotating group)

 

The new TVS superchargers EATON is producing aren't twin-screw superchargers. They simply feature four-lobe rotors (vs. three on previous models) and high-flow inlet/outlet ports to enhance it's thermal efficiency and volumetric output at a higher-RPM than previous roots-style superchargers.

Still, it's excellent news for the LSJ folks!

 

its a high helix supercharger, twin screw superchargers are commonly reffered to as high helix superchargers

 

Actually sir, a high-helix supercharger is still considered a roots-style blower. Their purpose is to imitate the internal compression that a true lysholm twin-screw supercharger produces. Also, the twin-screw does not have identical rotors, but have a male and female rotor that spin away from eachother:



I'm not trying to being a jerk and argue, but I would hate to see this community start purchasing the TVS supercharger(s) and telling every one they have a twin-screwed Cobalt.

 

poe-tato pah-tato /shrug

 

The new TVS sc is still concidered a roots style, it uses 2 hi-helix 4 blade 160 degree helix rotors. However it is NOT a twin screw, twin screw sc have 2 different rotors, a male (usually 3 blade) and a female (usually 5 blade) the twin screw uses internal compression meaning it compresses the air INSIDE the casing of the SC rather than stacking the air in the intake manifold like a roots style. However this new roots style design may give twin screw sc a run for their money. One of the down falls of a twin screw is that yes it does create less heat under high boost, but under normal driving conditions because it uses internal compression its ALWAYS generating heat unlike the roots which ONLY generates heat while under boost.

 

hmm this new charger may be in fact be better then the lysholm units, getting the best of both worlds high efficiency and no compression generation under low load

 

Here is a site that explains the differances between the two and more.

Well we have yet to see what kind of boost this new unit is capable of, a lysholm 1200 ax with reworked bearings can make as much as 35 psi!!!!!111!!11!11oneone!!

 

Oh man how could I not catch that. Looked the same to me because of the identical animation. Didnt think to look for differences in the actual rotors lol. Good eye.

 

Hmm this looks interesting, would this supercharger be a direct replacement for the M62 we've got on the SS/SC? (sorry if thats a n00b question, but thats what I be...)

 

Who cares what its called, where can i get one, is it a direct replacement to the M62, how much cost, boost and when

 

the tvs R1320 is aparently a 1320 cc per rev unit wich works out to about 80.5 cubic inches in other words it falls just between a m62 and a m90 if i can get my hands on one thats the unit ill try to get.

 

I cant wait for it to come out. For sure it's gonna shut up some big ego around us.

 

Actually because it is more efficient than the current m62, I would go with the r1050, that is almost the same size as the m62 but would generate less heat and more boost

 

So are the units themselves available through eaton as of yet? Or whats the word on all this hub-bub?

 

They are not available yet

 

I wonder if these rotors will fit in my ported M62...

 

when is the release date? after SEMA?

 

^^what's up with the link in your sig??

 

I think he is trying to say that the mods here are *****.

 

Definately doing a swap when the new gen of sc from eaton comes out. I have the plans in teh making

 

how about making that rotor and slap it in our sc's.
