Re: supercharger

Hairdryer, more efficient.

Allthough turbos tend to own all but it's just a PIA.

Re: supercharger

There is no available roots type blower, but lots of people have remote mounted eatons.

Turbo is not that hard to do if you are resourceful and creative. I built a kit in my driveway only using a $129 MIG welder and about a grand in parts.

Re: supercharger

There are not a lot of people with remote mounted eatons on f-body's. I don't know where you got that. There are plenty with centrifical blowers though, if that is what you ment, but the eaton is not one them. The eaton is a roots type blower.

Check out TGO, I've even seen 2 eaton's on a V8. Besides, I didn't say fbodies ;), just lots of remote eatons.

There is an eaton root type blower V6 3800 on a 1997 TA. This was a mock up try. It came out from March 2004 GM High Perf. Magazine if I remember. Firebird GT has this article.

Holden as a root type blower on a 3800 rwd engine.

Like all force induction there are advantages and disadvantages.

Right now the fastest LS1 has an ATI blower. The fastest LT1 had Vortech. I think it was only last year that a twin turbo LT1 beat it. But it took 10 more boost to do it.

So how the **** is that info relevant?

You were challenging me to the fact that not many fbodies have eaton's on them and I was just saying that I never said fbodies.

And there are lots of fbody V8 running around with a blower sticking out of the hood (roots type).

Doesn't matter, I will still stand by my origional statement that there is no roots package for the v6 fbod, and the easier way to go is to do a remote eaton.

Re: supercharger

It's all well and good to say that but I see no room to remote mount it either, and I've been at this stuff for years. The easier way to go is a centrifugal.

Re: supercharger

Depends how much room you want to make...



BTW, I also have been turning wrenches for over a decade and a half...

Re: supercharger

Where are you?

Re: supercharger

I'm starting to remember why I stopped posting in this section. I still don't see how remote mounting eatons is relevant. It would take a **** ton more work to do that than to even put one on in the standard fashion. Anyway I'm done arguing.

Re: supercharger

that seems stupid to remote mount an eaton if your going to do a supercharger and want it remote just do a vortech or mach, they're meant to be that way. If your willing to tackle the fab of a remote eaton then just do a turbo, less parisitic loss.
