Casey02L,

Yes, like I said I had many people come up to me and say that thing sounds like a friggen jet!

Keep in mind I was spinning the chit out of it to using a 11.5" pulley and a 2 lb uper = 24 lbs of boost!

I guess thats why I blew both head gaskets!


Peace, Suavy

 

Its safe to assume the head gaskets blew because of the insane temps that blower is making bro.

 

No it was mostly the fact that the heads were under torqued


Peace, Suavy

 

How did you come up to this conclusion?

 

That is a ton of boost for a small roots supercharger Suavy, not doubting that but I will be the first to admit a screw would be beneficial at that RPM.

 

Is there any reason at all why this would be eliminated?

Anyone?

 

They are probaly not needed for test blowers. I was told they are for economy on the highway and so fourth. You don't waste time putting them in on something you are testing.

 

who torqued your heads..... ......undertorquing is rampant here in Florida....

 

 

Scott,

Ford put the four supression holes to quiet the blowers down some. By doing that they did sacrifice some performance of the blower. The production one will have a fully working bypass system similar tot he stock Eatons. The pic I posted is that of one of the first prototype ones we got. It did not have new rotor packs in them. They were taken out of a stock Eaton that was pretty abused and had some flaking and rubbing.

What were the heads torqued to? If the truck was detonating real bad it could've pushed the gaskets out, even if the heads were torqued correctly.

 

I was under the impression that the noise supression holes are actually heat relief holes put there to allow some of the heat generated by the rotors to leave and not be trapped in the upper part of the blower, the somewhat quieter blower was a bonus.

It seems to me that heat relief and less air being shoved through a single small triangular opening instead of one small triangular opening and two 1"x2" ports is the same thing.

thank you for your opinion

 

Tim - if you remember, way back when there where pictures of the KB prototype which did not have the bypass. I was just curious if was going to be on the production version since that wasn't mentioned yet.
