i got a crazy idea... (long read)
i was thinking... since boost speed of a centrifugal is determined by it's compressor wheel and engine speed... it should flash 5 psi in a short period but will have to build up the 9-10. (like in my car, on 10psi). But, something like a vortech or procharger would boost quicker. if i were to intsall a v8 supercharger, i would get your boost almost instantly but i would have to run a BOV/vacuum modulated or electronic boost controller. the way i see it, when it comes to powerdyne, the blower housings are the same, it's the internals that are different. im going to try to find a used v8 powerdyne and just use the whole thing if possible.. if the housing was just a tad different (which i don't think ill run into), i think swapping the internals would suffice. then i thought about the mounting plate having to be used from my blower to the v8 blower... but the compressor housing is "rotational". in other words, everything (inlet and oultet) can be rotated or "clocked" to fit a particular application. granted, i'm sure that are some differences here and there but these would be minor differences. powerdyne couldn't make any money if they had a different housing for every application. the cost to pour the molds and to make the molds would run them out of business alone...now, if they build for a v6 application, the compressor wheel has a certain angle to it with a certain size pulley to achieve "this" psi "rating" and "that" rpm. that compressor wheel rpm has it's maximum. anything beyond that comp wheel rpm and the blower becomes unstable with the potential to fly apart. the inside of the housing is only designed to flow but so many cfm's. now take a v8 compressor with is designed to flow more cfm's (more volume) at lower rpm's, tossing it on a v6, because of the increased volume, a v8 compressor rated at 6 psi now installed on a v6 will give 11 psi. pretty much, it's the equivalent of putting a well matched 56mm turbo on an LS1 to achieve 7psi and then saying "to heck with that" and installing a 76mm turbo to achieve 18 psi......if you were feeling lucky.
any ideas on why it would/wouldnt work? im thinking about tackling it this summer if i have the time/money.
p.s. update on my car: the meth injection kit and bosch BOV are installed and im waiting on a tune this weekend!
