Not my intention to open a can of worms here. However, I stumbled on an old thread that discussed M7's development of an aftermarket blower... I believe a roots-type? that would more efficiently make more boost than the Eaton twin-screw (or do I have those backwards?). Anyway, the thread died about March 2004, when it appeared that M7 was getting close to something.
Does anyone have any news on the project? or has it been scrapped?
thanks!

Thank's for your inquiry regarding the Twin screw Autorotor project....
Randy Webb and I have teamed for this project.
The system is more then 50% on the way to be a viable product, and
hopefully it will be ready to ship in the first quarter 05.
Please feel free to contact either Randy or my self for more information.
First, you do have them backwards. Twinscrew is efficient, roots is what we have. I haven't heard any info other than the M7 website which says they're working on a new reduction pulley that will reduce heat buildup. If they are working on a new SC, then it's still most likely under heavy wraps.
If I'm not mistaken, RMS has done a fair amount in the BWM world. I believe their superchargers are of the centrifugal variety, but this one is a twinscrew. If so, like the Rotrex for the MINI, I'm sure they have some nice peak HP. But, the drawback is their lack of boost at lower RPMs. I think it was over on MINI2 where they posted a dyno chart of 265 or so hp, but 192 ft-lbs of torque...

it looks like they are using a custom water pump driven off it's own belt along with the alternator via a custom stepped crank pulley; the blower is on it's own belt.
why are there 4 hoses on the water jacket of the intercooler?

Hm. Impressive, but this setup doesn't look very "streetable." That water pump mounts right where the stock AC compressor should be. While AC is just extra weight and parasitic loss on the racetrack, for the highway there are certain creature comforts that are getting more important as I get older. Plus, the automatic climate control wasn't a cheap option, even if it was part of a package- I'd like to keep it intact and functional.
I hope M7 manages to come up with a solution that doesn't require sacrficing the AC to make room for other components.
Dang, that sounds wicked! Good job with those finds Bisch . One of the provided links had dyno plots, but what does that translate to in our units? I would venture to guess that the boost needed to achieve that power is markedly less than a turbo...
wrong fluid...
