No updates on ETA. Best guess is the first application (probably NA6) will ship February-March with each of the 3 remaining applications coming a month or so after the other. Pricing target still around $4000-ish. |
Any idea if these blowers play nice with an exhintake mod?

I run cams slightly more aggressive than yours and my car is quite happy! Almost 300whp on E85. |

My car stays cool on track for 30 minutes with a Trackspeed rad and coolant reroute. I've been very happy with the Rotrex for track use. |
Emilio, you should obviously just pick up my setup and make a twin screw kit instead. ;-) 200 ft-lbs from 2500 to 8k on pump gas! :)

-Check the engine oil level a few times For laughs, we could swap the production C30-74 on it for the optional C30-94, bolts right up with two new silicone connectors. No other changes and we're at about 420whp, 300lbs torque from 3500-8000 at around 12psi. But that's far more power than I need for this particular project. I'm sure as soon as the JR kits are released, someone will build a stout 1.9L with good head and cams for a C30-94 and hit those numbers. It's silly easy. |
I toyed around with the idea of installing a C30-94 but I feel like I am near the limits of the trans and diff with current C30-74. At some point you gotta say enough is enough and be happy with what you got. I plan to spend more of my money on track time next year. I do like the sound of a 400whp winshield delete roadster on the street though.

Any updates?
|
After I sorted out my suspension (Xida FTW), I can't wait to get my hands on this kit! Any updates are greatly appreciated :)

Asked in the other wrong thread. On a 1.6 is the rotrex kit still the best power/dollar option? Assuming the BP 1.8 swap and normal build is already going to be a couple thousand total? How easy will the rotrex kit allow you to increase the power on a 1.6 above the CARB stock kit levels?
|
Remember the difference between power/dollar and torque/dollar. Unless you're on a track or driving like a toolbag on the street, centrifugals won't make your car feel much faster the vast majority of the time.
|
True, I autocross mostly so torque probably would be noticed more than power. I actually don't street drive that much and only do a couple track days a year.

Personally, deviates 300whp felt ah, plenty fast even putting around on the street. No it didn't have 250lbs at 3000rpm but it also had zero TPS/torque lag at any rpm, didn't fall off or require a single touch after initial installation for the 30 or so track hours we beat on it. Having around 175lbs instantly available pretty much off idle makes it feel like a mini Z06. The key here is the instant part. No revs, no waiting, just tip in from a light and pulls like very healthy 3.0 V6. |
I like the character of my NA6, I would just like that character with more power where it actually starts to feel like a fast car.
Does Oscar have these posted on his own site or will distribute via 949? Just wondering how they compare to the kraftwerks/whatever it was stuff from a couple years back. I believe with those kits only the 99+ motor was dyno'd up to 200whp I just wondered how actually limiting the 1.6 is since I know Ryan was making 240 on his turbo 1.6 |

We will leave that to customers. |
Is there a posted dyno for the 1.6 kit like from "Sugar" or anything?
