So, what are the chances of eaton producing the tvs900? Jan, have eaton said anything to you?

I feel like this could possibly be the next step for me with my mods as there isn't much more I can do / anything that is 'worth it' just yet. Is there an estimate of how much more power the tvs900 will yield over the stock m45?

will the cost be more than going for the turbo option? rotrex even?

Spec of the car is as follows:
m7 cai - soon to be a dave.f hybrid
alta 17%
GRS Topmount
RMW Head
Newman Cam
RMW 440cc Injectors
Janspeed 'header' w/ decat / sports cat (have both)
stock cat back
1320 tune
devils own water / meth (on order)

suspension / chassis
m7 coils (to be fitted)
IE fixed camber plates (on order)
upper, lower and mid chassis braces (on order)
GTT Porsche bbk
TD 1.2 rims

So apart from adding lightness, what else is there to do for the next power increase?

I ideally want to keep the car supercharged and work on track with that power, but cant help feel that if the turbo route gives 50-60 more bhp then that might be the poser route to go....

advice? etc appreciated

 

I would hassle Adam to get his opcon kit finished and available to the public as a twin Screw Supercharger would be a great fit for the mini

 

the TVS 900 will be made, Eaton has confirmed it
I think you will see efficiencies rivaling turbos without all the lag associated with them. The inlet temps of the rotrex are much lower than you will see with the turbos at the same pressure ratios

 

Floof...what power did you make with all these mods? Did you manage to Dyno you lil monster?

 

Like you probably seen on mini torque this is my graph



But, this is what happened to the CAT a few days later - which would have obviously been holding back my numbers

 

OMG!!!! hehehe Nope Floof..I didnt see that Dyno graph in MT..great gains on a Not so brilliant Cat..hehehe...

anyways back to the thread, do we have some time-line of the TVS?

 

Last i read from anywhere was Jan wouldnt be getting the TVS until September, and then some RnR will go from there. Though they already have the 1320 fitted to a car so it shouldnt take to long.

 

I have been looking at the same option. Once I do the BVH, cam, and tune, I want to go with the r900. The rest of the car is about done performance-wise, but I'm missing the last peices of the power puzzle to call it a masterpiece...I hope within the next few months its ready....I know I am

 

Eaton isn't sure of when it will be done, the economy isn't helping either. Here's to hoping they get here by September
