DCX Depot has your Awesome Techco Supercharger instock and ready to ship or install!



What makes the TECHCO Reverse-Revolution Twin Screw Supercharger so revolutionary is the unique design (Patent Pending), which optimizes airflow efficiency throughout. Incoming air is fed into the front of the supercharger, not the back like conventional designs. This ensures that the incoming air has minimal turns, eliminating restrictions, before entering into the supercharger housing. Additionally, without the need for a complex inlet tube, the largest possible orifice size is maintained, maximizing air flow efficiencies. The air then flows into the lobes of the Reverse-Revolution asymmetric multi-lobe compressor screws, where it is compressed, not merely moved, as in other forms of supercharging. The compressed air then flows into the intercooler housing which houses (2) intercoolers mounted in an A-Frame configuration to ensure the airflow is evenly distributed to each runner bank. The Patent Pending Twin Intercooler design results in higher cooling capacity and greater thermal efficiencies as the cooling water only has to pass through the intercoolers once, keeping the charge air cool. A further benefit of the front Inlet Design is the additional package space above the supercharger that is used for long high flow Intake Runners, which increases low end torque.
The resulting design of The TECHCO Reverse-Revolution Twin Screw Supercharger allows air to move through the supercharger quickly and efficiently, without significant heat buildup, and at the highest resulting airflow volume at low boost output. The performance result is maximized horsepower and torque output.

There doesn't seem to be a HP rating on the website, unless I am blind. I saw three blowers and only the vortech showed what would be gained. Is this one similar or....

I've heard of one installed and it showed a 70RWHP gain. So for the price tag, not reall worth it if those are the numbers it's putting out. There has also been more than one motor that has been rendered useless with this supercharger, at least one with a tune from Techo. Also, it sounds like a kazoo.
I think there are better options out there, but if you go with this one, make sure you have one hell of a tuner to get the power out of it without blowing it up.

I wouldn't spend over $7k on a blower on any car. And surely not when the HP cost near $100 per. That is kinda disappointing though, I was more or less expecting like +200 for that price.

HAHAHAHAH sounds more like TECHNOcrap to me. I think I will stick with the big name in town. Vortech. PLUS we have Paulie in here that is living proof that the Vortech system is reliable and real.

All the blowers are running out of fuel

Any progress on the billet twin pump fuel baskets yet???

I have to admit though the blower Hennessey is offering sounds nice. The magnuson I think?

I wish they would post dyno #s of the blower on a stock jeep when they are trying to sell superchargers,when you dont its like your asking people to be ginny pigs and hope for the best. for 8 grand i want proof of what they really put to the wheels not just hear say.

I've held the Fore unit to be used in the lx and ly applications. Feels like good stuff. Jeep item is soon to follow, yes.

As for other standard Techco snipes, there aren't many on Jeeps yet, which explains the lack of Jeep dyno numbers, but there are plenty on 6.1 hemi vehicles and there are plenty of dyno sheets and testimonials of them with videos and runs, etc. and 70 hp is an isolated low floater of a number and you're sort of leaving out the vast majority of 90s - 110s that have been posted...(see attached) I've ridden in at least three different stock 6.1 lx/ly vehicles with this blower on them and it flies at 6psi with safe a/f. Its that simple. F/i tuning needs and constraints (including fueling as Paul mentions) are relatively the same for the p/d f/i applications, intercoolers and efficiency variances notwithstanding between units on our engines. Put differently, I think you'd want a good tuner to get the most out of your blower regardless of what type it is. As for the engines that were rendered inoperable, I think its fair to say, paraphrasing another comment on the subject some time ago, they were rendered inoperable by the tune, not the blower.

Well, diablo seems to be the tuner of choice here, and I had no decent experience with them. Granted i know the diablo is just he mechanism, but I had a diablo chip tune on my Navi and it netted 38 less hp than the tune I got elsewhere, and they overcompensated my tranny pressure and had it leaking like nothing else. I'm not prone to use their products after that

Mull...it still sounds like a kazoo. :)
stang99x...Diablo is the only handheld tuner for the Jeeps and it al depends on who/where does your tune. I haven't heard of anybody losing power after a good tune.
spyder....running out of fuel means that the engine needs more fuel than the fuel injectors can supply. It usually happens on the top end where the engine wants to keep making power but the injectors just can flow enough fuel.

As for superchargers, or any FI for that matter....I wouldn't feel safe running alot of boost on a stock engine. I personally wouldn't much, if anything over 6psi. The internals of the 6.1 just aren't made for boost.

Apologies, that came accross wrong. What I meant was Diablo's tune (which was custom done by diablo based on my adds) wasn't nearly as good as the tuner I switched to. I pulled 38 more HP with a customized xcal2 tuned by another guy than I pulled with diablo's tune, and I didn't have the tranny problems anymore. Sorry I made that confusing. Also, so you can't use superchips handhelds? I honestly know nothing about chrysler products, I've only built fords and lincolns(<----overpriced fords!):eek:

SilvaSurfer from Unyqueautoform was one of the first to install the Techno SC on his 300SRT8, he's put down some good numbers, he loves it.

Superchips was the first tuner for the 5.7's and then they quit developing it. I don't recall them ever supporting the 6.1. SCT supposedly has a tuner for the 6.1's but I personally know of noone using it.
SilvaSurfer is on a few forums and has posted all over on how much he likes it. Based on what I know, I'd be inclined to think he was "given incentive" to post positive comments.
There are 3 or so of these units for sale on the LX site, some are from people that have it installed and some haven't even been installed. Surprising that some of the first people to get them are now getting rid of them. There was some debate going on behind the sell-off.

I wouldn't waste my time with a canned one, so really its based on what format the tuner I choose uses. My ford tuner used the xcal2 so thats what I stuck with. I was just curious, even ebay has a relatively small selection for the GC

Tune that comes with it is very safe. You want to get it past that, you need a CMR based custom tune - tuner goes through the tables and adjusts parameters. One of the few engine issues that occured was someone trying to tune it with a DSP only. Not good. Some tuners have better knowledge of others of table cause and effect and what affects what to get desired results. Not a tuning expert, but I am thinking that main goals for basic f/i tuning (and this really is only parroted and observed pass alongs) are a WOT a/f around 11.5-11.8 (some say a little less or more, depending on application and need to control detonation) for f/i, part throttle driveability (easier said than done) and max wot timing within the above constaints. When Paul says we're running out of fuel, he means that stock fuel delivery can't be commanded to deliver enough fuel to maintain a safe a/f on higher boost levels, especially when combined with higher cubic inch applications greater than 6-8 psi. Quick solution is boostapump. Better solution is more pumpage and flow. At WOT I am reading between 10.2 and 10.8 (oink, oink), so I'd like to get a base time and then start picking away at the fuel delivery to see how times are affected. After maxing that, perhaps a pulley to 8 psi. Then fuel, oh and an SHR transmission for my softening shifts, which is very soon on the horizon. This has been my experience so far.

BTW, Hats off to the KenneBell guys getting crazy boost on stock lx engines. Ice tubs and c16 are pretty obvious limiters here for most folks who want a s/c without an ice tub and running c16 through their cats and 02 sensors. Pulley switch, etc. also sort of a hump, but hats off for making work pay off.
