That the sig of one of the guys from the RL forums

 

omg hahahaha

 

more options finally

 

This sounds interesting. I still wish whipple would come out with a twin screw for us. Has anyone gotten their hands on the 1.3L kenne bell? I heard that they are only sold as a kit though and that its for Jeep, is this true?

 

Whipple is discontinued the 1.2L blower and KB is getting ready to drop the 1.33L blower along with the Jeep kit since that the only way to get it. Sort of sucks really. Lysholm and Autorotor are still willing to sell them though. I'm just not sure if the TVS blower is going to out do a twinscrew though.

 

Time will tell .....holding judgement until I can see some actual #'s from me or someone else . The TVS matches a twinscrew in effeciency , but it is still just a air mover unlike the twinscrew type that compresses the air . I am intriqued enuff to actually purchase TVS...I like what Ive seen so far .

 

Well, the 2.4 PR puts the rated pressure of these TVS units at approximately 20psi gauge. I will say that a twin screw wont last very long at 35psi, just like an old eaton unit wouldnt last long at 20+psi.. Just because you"can" do somthing doesnt mean its advisable.

Heat is the enemy of any supercharger unit, twin screw or roots.. and as you increase your pressure you increase your heat. Neither unit is exempt from these effects.

Lastly, when you start saying how much pressure a unit can put out, please state the isentropic efficiency at that pressure and thus it relates directly to the heat being generated. When you start getting down to low efficiency areas at high pressure, thats ALOT of heat being generated. (even high efficiency at high pressure generates a large amount of heat)

P.S. i wouldnt call it a twin screw.. just FYI (TVS = Roots)

 

Heh, it was off the RL forums. I had it as my signature to be a wanker, but it "disappeared" overnight somehow....hmm. Gotta keep it on the DL.

Back to TVS and twinscrew....

 

im curious as to why magnuson was kept out of the loop on this, i spoke with dennis on friday and had no clue that eaton was developing/releasing such a blower in fact i think he thought i was kinda crazy or f.o.s. when i told him about this new design ...until i told him that he could see for himself on the eaton website seems like magnuson would be the first to know seeing how these blowers seem to be geared for the aftermarket and magnuson being eatons only aftermarket distributor in north america and all

 

: Hmm... interesting..

 

tvsss what state are u in ??

 

I emailed eaton about when, where, how much hp and cost....their only reply was the tvs will be available for our application late next year.

 

See. That screws with my build plans. BAH!

 

this means im gonna be keeping my car for longer and wait what this sc can do.

 

you guys caught that reply right? Does that mean a direct swap?

 

pun intended ??

 

is that the EXACT reply they sent you? meaning there would be a direct swap?
