Looks similar to a Whipple charger rotor design which are known for obnoxious amounts of torque down low.

Well, I've seen some people use the TVS r1320 on stock Cobalt SS boosting 20+ pounds of boost and making around 300-350whp. I'm sure with Jan's 2.0 engine combo, you can almost be sure to make that much or more and all down low unlike the rotrex.

Here's a good, but short, read on how Whipple's make stupid amounts of low end power. Interesting how it says the teamed with Lysholm "to create a bigger screw supercharger that moves more air—a bunch more. "

700 ft-lbs from 355CI's is
territory.

Yeah, but Rotrex's are more efficient and don't run out of air like Whipple chargers do in the higher RPM band. All down to tuning and preferance, I guess. Both, I'm sure, could be made to do either/or. It just depends which one you want because both excel at given characteristics.

Yep, you were right. I retract my previous statement.
Between 1986-1988 in the U.S. Norm Drazy painstakingly developed a large screw-type supercharger, using a four-lobe male rotor and a six-lobe female rotor (turning 30% slower), called the PSI, hoping to introduce it to Top Fuel drag racing. In dyno testing, the 385 cu. in. prototype PSI made the same horsepower (1260 on alcohol) at 28 pounds of boost as a 14-71 (552 cu. in.) at 36 psi; plus the outlet temperature of the PSI was 85 degrees compared to the 150 for the 14-71.

Luys "come on Jan give us a clue.
new oil cooler???Today 10:11 AM"I would guess with Jan if he can't show a hp gain he is not going to offer it
daegertermaybe "its a tank of 120octane jetfuel complete with ecu remapping"
JP fuels for Jets are basically diesel. At this point I have not seen Jan doing any R56 tunes so I don't think there will be any diesel tunes in the near future.
This is a very effective advertising ploy to pre-sell a new product from one of his suppliers

Well knowing Jans Connection IF thought it was a few kilos of the good
stuff.
By the way Jan tuned my car last week. 23 HP gain just from software.
he kicks but. Thats with a stock intercooler.
204 HP 184 ft lbs torque< was that right on Torque Jan.
How was Paso and you family Vac.
See ya Guido.

actually the oil coolers are machined and I just need to finish up the hoses and heat exchanger
that is NOT what is in THIS box
we have many boxes at RMW...... some just have different things in them
It was easy to figure out. Are you not the the ***** Wonka of the Mini Engine, bring yummy goodies to the boys and girls.
So do I get a golden ticket?
