Less chance for heat soak as factor in multiple runs. it would have a increased oil capacity and possibly a means to drain the oil without having to raise the car up. It would be located away from the engine and radiator. May even have an in-line oil filter.The design would have some kind of monitoring device for temperature and control means to adjust for higher then anticipated temperatures. And it would look cool.

Now that does not sound "boring" to me.

Boost like with the M45 would be relative to how fast you spin it. Lemme make you think about this. If the TVS is more efficient. And you run the same boost. Would it make the same power? From my studies of the TVS it has Turbo like efficiency. Boost from the M45 is 5 hp per lb. Where a T28 turbo is 10 hp per lb ....

so do the math.

Basically like adding a larger volume of air, only at same pressure, right?

well... yes, larger volume at same pressure because of lower charge temp

PV=nRT <-- inert gas law, high school AP Chemistry II FTW

Well, air isn't exactly an inert gas but the formula still applies. P1V1/T1=P2V2/T2+frictional heat losses.

Whose going off-topic? I thought we were figuring out what was in the box? And if we're right, we need to know what it's going to do for the car yes???

And YIKES!!!
So running 12psi on the TVS would be like doubling your hp??? Or am I thinking too high here? Remember, I'm slooooow....
And the TVS being belt driven still, you have power at WOT and don't have to wait for spool time... hmmmm..... If this isn't in the box, Jan needd's to order a box with this in it........

Is the Rotrex with the built in clutch so it can deliver more boost at lower RPM's before it shifts?

Well, can you tell us who is close?! And you should come over and join the M7/BBR/Cosworth discussion. It's getting amusing now.

I dont think it is a TVS blower. 'According' to Eaton, the recommended sizes for the Mini motor (whether normal or stroked) is either the R900 or the R1050 (respectively), neither of which "are available yet". http://www.eaton.com/EatonCom/Produc.../TVS/index.htm

Though the Cobalt crowd (2.0) crowd is using the 1320 TVS.....ummm.


Sooooooooo, Can we atleast have date on when you will be telling us ? I hate secrets.

Really paul whats that?
I can tell you now that its certainly not the R550 or 900 If it was the 900 I would have it on my car.
Besides what makes anyone think its a tvs? For all you know its a full turbo system Or Rmw is gonna bloweveryone away with a twincharge set up.
be prepared for 1000 hp!!!!!!!
