It was posted before, but it wasn't installed on a 3.4 like it is in that auction. They are in SLC, I wonder what company is doing that.

 

It might be better than TRD but boy that thing looks hidious.

 

i like bling, but i think that kit really needs to be powdercoated black.

 

Is it just me, or is it missing an air filter?

What type of fuel mods I wonder...

It says that he is waiting for the air filter

 

:pat: whoops!

 

Kinda looks scary and really will hurt you mileage a little.

 

Maybe with this application, you could still use the URD kit. Also, it may support an intercooler, which would allow you to use lower octane fuel. It's interesting and I'm anxious to see the dyno results. Also, mounting might be easier because you keep your intake plenum on. Good for those backyard mechanics. And I agree about the black powdercoating. I wonder what the experts have to say about this.

 

I am a bit confised how he claims to make more HP at the same pressure (6 psi) because at the same pressure the airflow (and thus the HP) is exactly the same. Only possible increase in efficiency would be from having that air be cooler (temp-wise) with his setup than with the TRD.....which is possible, but 20 HP more???

I will be as curious as any to see the dyno results at 15 psi.....should make some decent HP. I still think the centrifical type would be the best for running an intercooler but I thought his setup was worth noting too.

 

Finally!!
Something to compete with the TuRD unit! It definately looks like a better setup. One of the problems with the TRD unit is its so small, and heat soak is a big problem down here in the south. It says in the description they can put in an intercooler (air/water). If I was in the market for an SC I'd definately try and help them out. We need someone to come out with something thats not undersized, and has the ability to run an intercooler. Some people want to run more boost! (when they get more fuel of course).

 

Theres more to boost than PSI and temp, I think you are forgetting about flow rates. 25cfm @ 110F @ 10psi does not equal the same mass of air that 45cfm @ 110 @ 10psi provides. (Remember it's the mass of air that counts. )

 

He's got a point there!

 

So has anyone seen the dyno results yet?

PV=NRT so I have to assume you mean he has massaged the throttle body and intake runners because otherwise flow rates are exactly the same due to the cross-sectional areas being the same (cross section dictates your potential limits to flow rate....like a nozzle limits a firehose). He claimed that the blower was more efficient so I would be curious as to his claim of exactly how this blower is a more efficient roots blower than the TRD unit is.

 

Greetings,
I'm not sure of the answer to that question but seems to me one big difference is that the TRD compresses the air After the MAS, the other compresses the air before.

I'm an old timer,used to blowers compressing the air/fuel mixture. Injection adds the fuel after the air is compressed, I think.

 

Say what? Neither the TRD unit or this unit compresses the air before the MAF. That would cause the computer do do all sorts of crazy things.
