This is pretty much exactly what I'm thinking of doing. I'm actually thinking of going back to a 1.6 with this kit simply for the ease of passing emissions on a regular basis.

Nice to see these back on the market. Now to decide this or K swap.

Viewed as a $/whp question, the Rotrex comes out slightly ahead. Ease of install is no contest, in favor of Rotrex. Torque, I think a K24 can make 230lbs on gas which is about what we made on E85. Then there is the possibility of bolting a C30-94 onto a K24. We're already looking at that as a future project. Maybe 400whp and 300lbs tq. |

Are there any plans to release a C30-94 kit? With wastegate control that would really have a broad torque curve. Wide open it would be a monster.

Yeah well I bought the whole car for $650:fawk:
I bet even Emilio will give you a hard time about that lol, just like I do every time we talk. Heck, Scott will probably ban you if he finds out :giggle: (PS: don't do it.) |

Really going to need a transmission solution at that point. Any plans beside the race only incremental upgrade of gears?
Agreed that the community could use a 300lb syncro box, it just won't be us doing it. |

Just don't tell them that you already have a 1.8 swapped car, and you're planning to swap back to 1.6.

Thats a tough call if you are mechanically adept and do not require CARB compliance. K swap costs more but can make about the same power.

Superchargers aren't light, while the K swap removes something like 60lbs. Probably a 100lb difference over the front end between the two kits.

That being said, if you are adding weight, I like the idea of adding it in the form of a Rotrex :) |

Bro, do you even Rotrex? Shipping weight on my entire C30-74 kit was 39lbs
Next you'll tell me the Rotrex kit not only comes with a CARB EO but will spontaneously generate kittens as well. :party: |
Not disagreeing that a rotrex isn't worthy weight to add, and I didn't know that rotrex's were so light. The Lysolm 1.2L twin screw on my car weighs ~38lbs by itself and that isn't even including the intercooler, piping, etc. All together my supercharger kit is probably close to or more than 60lbs. Still worth it though :)

No kittens. Just sparkly rainbow baby-unicorn-shaped bubbles out the tailpipe.
I like my Rotrex. It allows me to drive like a hooligan during autocross, and get more seat time on the edge of traction. Occasionally seat time watching the edge of traction part ways with me. |
