Drivetrain Increasing SC effiency. Different methods?
from google search on Eaton roots supercharger
"... most positive displacement schemes compress the air simply by shoving it into the intake manifold. As a chamber of not-yet-pressurized air is opened to a manifold of already-pressurized air, air first rushes from the manifold into the chamber, before being shoved back out into the manifold. Thus, much of the air is pumped twice, and it goes past the edges of the supercharger exit three times. The resulting turbulence heats the air, reducing compressor efficiency. As one might suspect, streamlining of compressor inlets and outlets becomes very important."

JLM, AWESOME quote....thanks :smile:. So, it is correct to think that opening up/reducing resistance to flow out should be pursued too, right?

Speaking of the little side openings. How in the world do they allow for quieter operation? It seems a little counter intuitive to me.
If an aural sensation is indicative of the SC doing its job; the Endyn version has certainly clocked in for the day.

The slots alllow a gentler (quieter) transition at the expense of doing work twice.
found this bit on mini2: one user got 19psi with the stock blower but boost dropped to 13.4 with the M7; put the stock back on and 19psi again 19% pullies all cases.) Now before you get twisted, there is the argument that it is the amount of O2 that matters, not the psi, although they mey be related, depending on temp. my rig has seen 19% with the Endyn blower, but I do have high IAT.

i've been doing a little more research, and i've seen a few pictures of factory m45 and m62 supercharger with an outlet port very similar to the M7 setup. Maybe thats where they got the idea? I'll try to find some good pictures.

Cruising around and found this....
deltas for a ported SC on a Ford V8...
