Next Generation Eaton Supercharger Provides Bigger Boost in Smaller Package
SOUTHFIELD, Mich.--Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton Corporation today unveiled its newest generation of Roots-type supercharger design that will allow automakers to use smaller, more efficient compressors to create more engine boost. The company unveiled the new design, called Twin Vortices Series (TVS™) at the Specialty Equipment Manufacturers Association (SEMA) tradeshow in Las Vegas.
“We think the TVS™ is a game changer that will allow our customers to make more horsepower without the traditional engineering tradeoffs,” said Jeff Romig, vice president and general manager of Eaton’s supercharger business. “The TVS design has remarkably improved efficiencies and broadens the performance range of the supercharger across an engine’s entire performance range.”
The new patented TVS™ design features four-lobe rotors and high-flow inlet and outlet ports that greatly enhance thermal efficiency, enabling greater volumetric capacity at higher revolutions per minute (RPM). Previous Eaton Roots-type designs featured only three-lobe rotor assemblies. The new TVS™ supercharger design is scalable and adaptable to virtually all engine designs.
The TVS™ supercharger design builds on Eaton’s market leadership position of designing and manufacturing Roots-type superchargers for premiere automotive brands.
The first original equipment application of an Eaton supercharger debuted on the 1989 Ford Thunderbird Super Coupe. Since, Eaton superchargers have appeared on the Buick Park Avenue UltraTM, Buick RegalTM, Pontiac Grand PrixTM, Ford Mustang Cobra SVTTM and the Ford Lightening SVTTM. The current generation of Eaton supercharger is available on the MINI Cooper STM, Jaguar XKRTM, Range Rover SportTM, Cadillac STS-VTM, Cadillac XLR-VTM, Chevrolet Cobalt SSTM, Saturn Ion RedlineTM and the Mustang Shelby GT500TM.
Eaton has development programs underway with several automakers to incorporate the TVS™ into future vehicle programs and it is working with its aftermarket partners to make the TVS™ technology available to performance enthusiast in 2007.
Eaton Corporation is a diversified industrial manufacturer with 2005 sales of $11.1 billion. Eaton is a global leader in electrical systems and components for power quality, distribution and control; fluid power systems and services for industrial, mobile and aircraft equipment; intelligent truck drivetrain systems for safety and fuel economy; and automotive engine air management systems, powertrain solutions and specialty controls for performance, fuel economy and safety. Eaton has 60,000 employees and sells products to customers in more than 125 countries. For more information, visit www.eaton.com.

How is this a repost when the Press Release came from Eaton on Nov 1, 2006?
I don't see the PR posted anywhere here, only a vid.... some people really need to calm down with the "report" crap

anyone elce see this on the website under 'Eaton Enhances Performance of Industry's Best Engines.'
"Additionally, Eaton supplies the supercharger that powers Chevrolet's Cobalt SS 2.0L supercharged DOHC I-4. Eaton's M62 roots-type supercharger has helped the Cobalt win accolades and races, powering the Cobalt to fastest overall time at the Toyo Tires Time Attack competition last November."
Yay!! take that honda, toyota, subie, etc.....
full results at http://www.superstreetonline.com/eve...11_timeattack/
*note* the only 2 American cars were the SS/SC (1st) and the SRT4 (17th)

I replied to this in a previous thread that talked about the TVS. I emailed Eaton and asked them how much hp, cost, when it would be available and if they will make an application for our cars.
The only thing they replied with is that it will be available for our application late next year.

We already know how to get more boost out of the M62 that's in the SC now. The issue is how to get more power without blowing things up. You people have to understand that running more boost on pump gas is not the solution to getting more reliable power. I think the M62 is more than efficient enough to provide the necessary boost required. I haven't heard of anyone overspinning the M62 with smaller pulleys yet

Its not so much that the TVS provides a platform for higher boost, but it has a wider efficiency range than the M62. I think the M62 peaks around 16,000 RPM. The TVS is rumored to peak around 20-21,000.

Im curious to see what the potential gain will be over the current Supercharger...that will be the basis of upgrading to it in my opinion.
It would be sweet if we can just swap the TVS onto the stock aftercooler, what do you guys think?
