The rotrex is a last resort for a supercharger. If you went positive displacement supercharger like an edelbrock its instant power especially down low where this car needs it. Its night and day difference. The rotrex is a turbo without the lag
@TheCarPassionChannel2 күн бұрын
On the contrary, Rotrex is an amazing choice for stock block cars, since they don't produce a lot of low end torque, but they scream in the high rpm and still allow you to make good power. They actually compliment the powerband of the motor. To each their own though!

There are a couple ways you could do this, I used to have a physical switch that would activate/deactivate it so if I was canyon running or AX etc, I could just turn it off. Now that you mention it, I think you could put such a switch somewhere on the brake pedal arm so it would deactivate under braking only, allowing free revs for downshifts. Good idea!

Maybe machining the combustion chamber in the head would help, it probably will bring down the compression ratio, but you will still be able to run the pistons and the head gasket that's in the engine. And maybe try porting the heads (intake and exhaust) and change the turbo or the exhaust header from the head to the turbo for different one with more exhaust flow in mind at higher boost application.

So I have Advanti Storms, 15x8 35mm offset and the widest I can fit on my car without rolled fenders is 205. I have 205/50/15 Potenza RE71s and they are really close to touching. Your car doesn't seem very low. My ride height is about 12.5in in the rear and about 12in in the front. I don't think there's anyway I'm squeezing 225s on there without rolling the fenders.

Sweet build, but advice, are you sure you should be adding permatex to the oil pump? If it squeezes inside, dries, and breaks free it is going to plug a journal or bearing oil feed somewhere. I have a Ford modular and there is no gasket material there. Metal on metal. Let the oil pump and regulator do the work, even if there is a tiny leak it will be fine.

@TheCarPassionChannel14 күн бұрын
You could squeeze another 20-30whp out of the setup with water/meth just like you could with E85, but the stock engine is still limited to a certain amount of torque regardless of fuel type/time safety. And yeah there's really no reason to lose the IC, the setup responds as if it's N/A already

You described compound turbos backwards. The big turbo feeds the small turbo, not the other way around. You said it in reverse, and you also said "that bigger turbo taking air that's already pressurized and ramping it up more." The bigger turbo (usually sized to roughly double the maximum airflow) draws in atmospheric pressure, then the small turbo draws in the charge from the big turbo and pressurizes it further. I'm nitpicking, I know, but it's going to bother me if I leave it uncorrected 😅 It actually works out pretty handily, because often you'll be using something like a low pressure turbo with a 3" outlet feeding a high pressure turbo with a 3" inlet, in which case you don't even need to neck the charge pipe up or down.
