Update on protege Supercharger!

[RyanJayG]

300 hp isn't the limit for a turbo either... its just what people have gone for...

seriously, 300 hp will be pretty easy for me to hit, once my turbo kit is done.

the benefits of a SC deminish at higher pressures, because it takes more and more power to turn them. the best part of a supercharger is the low end power. which is in all honesty better for a daily driven street car. however, if track use, or all out hp is your goal, then a turbo becomes the better chioce, as it is "free hp"

damnit i need some pics. i am going crazy damnit.

 

[bonesmp5]

when you say track use -- do you mean drag or twisties ??
would a SC be better for coming out of corners since the power is lower ??
i like torq... turbo or SC has more torq??? at lower rpms ---
so many variables so little money

well, really, kinda both, because on the drags, you'll just launch where you need, then keep the revs up and in the boost, same on a road course. you'd just keep the revs up.

but also remember, that if you get a nice small, fast spooling turbo, then all or most of the SC advantages down low can be matched and overcome due to rediculously fast spooling times.

but this doesn't mean a SC is a bad thing... actually, I really like superchargers... they really simplify the engine bay vs. a turbo. they produce less heat, and they sound pretty wicked.

its all just personal preference.

apparently this one doesn't make the typical supercharger noises though

that might be just as kool though ----> quiet Sleeper

We want more picture (wiggle)

/me looks at daveb

Nate, you are correct sir. Because of the internal belt system of this blower, there will be little or none of the gear driven blowers you're used to. And Rayn, not only will this blower produce "less" heat like most supers, but because of that same belt driven internal design, it will produce a fraction of the heat of other centrifigul and roots style blower. With the high boost kit, (not the turbo kit, just the trim on the WOMP) we;re looking for about 30-50* above normal intake temps, compared to about 150* for a similairly boosted turbo, making for a much lower potential for detonation and pinging.

looking forward to the dynos

 

[Mr. Win]

yea is this done yet... hahah

 

[Captain KRM P5]

the project has hit some major snags and unless I get clearance from Matty I'm not going to make any formal statements here. I'll keep you posted or AnarchistChicken will if Matty gives us clearance to speak on his behalf.

 

[bonesmp5]

thats all right -- things happen when new territory is ventures -- hope all is well and things get worked out --- good luck

<HR style="COLOR: #d1d1e1" SIZE=1> <!-- / icon and title --><!-- message -->it's still a GO. Spoke to DaveB I'm shipping him my compressor and brackets. He's expecting to have it finished this weekend and shipped back to me next week. The blower bracket he said is done. Once he gets my compressor he'll be able to finish the relocation bracket and I'll have everything mounted in the engine bay....just waiting on the haltech.

Dave has finished 4 different pulleys. 4,6,8,and 10psi. Each will be hardcoated a different color to indicate boost level and engraved with the WOMP logo and it's boost rating.

Ken beat me to the punch again It's still moving along ladies and gents, but we wont have the dyno tommorow, so stay tuned.

 

[GHOSTWHISPER]

Any Updates?
Thanks

 

[mp5zoomer]

subscribes highly interested

 

[anarchistchiken]

Right now that fabricator of some of the parts (DaveB) is otherwise engaged with real business at the moment, so the next update should be on wednesday or thursday when he gets back. Stay tuned.

 

[GHOSTWHISPER]

Cool thanks man, really appreciate all the great efforts you guys are making.
