: Anything on a roots style or Eaton supercharger? tainui 10-12-2007, 01:38 PM I recall someone talking a long time back about a West coast manufacturer looking at an Eaton or Roots style supercharger for the Jeep. Does anyone know if this is still in the works? tom2012 10-12-2007, 09:13 PM Just recently, member "polidentgrip" started a very informative thread on turbos and forced induction, which included some info on roots style blowers...but for some reason it seems he has been banned and the thread removed :confused: To answer your question, "polidentgrip" mentioned that XV Motorsports was in the proces of developing a twin screw supercharger for the 6.1. You can find the info HERE (http://www.xvmotorsports.com/engineering/engine_support.cfm#HEMITwinScrew). From what I've been told, they develop primarily for older cars, but "polidentgrip" mentioned he was talking with them about bringing it to market for the newer ones.

They said that they are still developing the kit. They had to take some time off because of the tunning problem, but now have a few options with tunning for the supercharger kit. They also said that when it comes out that it would be in the lower $3k range for everything. This type of blower on these jeeps would be crazy. They procduce instant boost and lots of TQ down low. Look out 2.9 sec 0-60! LOL Hope this helps, and I wouldn't hold my breath but keeping my fingers crossed. GotStroke? 10-13-2007, 09:10 AM We need someone to fab a kit based on a 2.8H KB or 2.9 Whipple. Why even bother with a small roots when you can have an appropriately sized twin screw. tom2012 10-13-2007, 10:09 AM We need someone to fab a kit based on a 2.8H KB or 2.9 Whipple.

I sent an email Friday to Magnuson but haven't heard anything from them yet. srt8suv 10-13-2007, 02:57 PM At least let them get us a kit that will not through the belt away after a couple of WOT :D Blown7 10-13-2007, 04:38 PM We need someone to fab a kit based on a 2.8H KB or 2.9 Whipple.

That's something I'd pony up for. tainui 10-13-2007, 06:21 PM I'm not looking to blow transmissions/ pistons and the like. something simple 5-6psi and 75-100hp would be fine. N20 is the best way to get that for $$$ but I hate the idea of running around to fill tanks all the time. Been there and done that. No more. ndgoalie35 10-13-2007, 06:36 PM Don't even waste your time with a roots type blower. The twin screw design or centrifugal will produce the greatest amount of horsepower per psi. cmn1 10-14-2007, 06:31 PM http://nationalhorsepower.com/forum/...showtopic=1803 Dr. Nick 10-14-2007, 08:02 PM Link no worky. cmn1 10-14-2007, 08:13 PM Link no worky.
