This is just a question for u guys who know a lot about the eaton. Since our sc doesent compress the air, it STACKS it in between the sc and the manifold, wut would happen if u where to put a metal spacer about .2" in between the sc and the manifold?? would u get more boost? would u mess anything up or get more power, cuz ull be STACKING more air...Just a thought i had...Plz give accurate info

 

Intense sells a SC spacer like your talking about

 

ok thats fine, but my question is will it improve performance and if so by about how much?

 

idk but i heard it doesnt give any ^ performance unless u put n20 or water/meth injection.

 

if the air is stacked higher it won't help anything. think of a short straw vs a long straw with the same diameters. the longer straw has more liquid 'stacked' but you won't get anymore liquid in your mouth.

 

That is a good way to put it

 

True!

dont expect any gain, the plate is intended to inject N20, or Meth/Water INJ....also takes up slack in the belt when dropping a pulley size

 

I'm pretty sure the SC spacer intense sells is more for belt tension issue than anything else.

 

The spacer does nothing as far as performance goes. It allows for tapping for nitrous after the blower, or water/meth injection or adding another sensor. If you want more boost you need another pulley. And as far as I understand, the Eaton m62 supercharger does a combination of moving air fast and compressing it too, thanks to the 60 degree tilt of the superchargers blades. Atleast I think its 60 degrees LOL. I believe that it compresses air till about 8 or 9 psi <stock pulley BTW> then after the 9 psi, it seems like its just moving 1/2 ass compressed air up until 12.5 psi. You can only go as far as the pulley would let you. With the Eaton roots blower, the meshing lobes spin, air trapped in the pockets between the lobes is carried between the fill side and the discharge side. Large quantities of air move into the intake manifold and "stack up" to create positive pressure. For this reason, Roots superchargers are really nothing more than air blowers. Our 5th generation is a tad better due to the 60 degree tilt. Now, a twin-screw supercharger operates by pulling air through a pair of meshing lobes that resemble a set of worm gears. Like the Roots supercharger, the air inside a twin-screw supercharger is trapped in pockets created by the rotor lobes. But a twin-screw supercharger compresses the air inside the rotor housing. That's because the rotors have a conical taper, which means the air pockets decrease in size as air moves from the fill side to the discharge side. As the air pockets shrink, the air is squeezed into a smaller space. And centrifugal superchargers are the most efficient and the most common of all forced induction systems. They are small, lightweight and attach to the front of the engine instead of the top. They Boost faster than a turbo, and 100% of the air is being compressed!
