Where did you get the idea that you could get screw rotors for our Eatons?

Anything can (and has) been done for the right price.

You can't make the Eaton case a screw compressor, you can't just throw in rotors and bam you have a screw. Instead of answering a question by posing another contradictory to my question why don't you just answer it?

#2 is on a truck from JDM with the ram-air intake for the cervini hood.

The engine bay in #1 is white or silver. It's either sknhead's truck or Don's

Edit: Maybe Paul G's for #1? I dunno what color his truck is.

My stock Eaton looks like that, meaning the rotor pack is a different color.

I just checked mine, and the Rotor pack is the same grey colour as the rest of the blower.

Maybe they are powerdercoated after the pack is installed and the color wears off?

My Final Answer

#1 Eaton M112 with twin screw rotor packs, on Paul G's L.

#2 Eaton M112 with twin screw rotor packs on Black truck from JDM with a cervini hood and the only ram air intake produced for the cervini hood.

#3 is a Works 112

#4 Stock eaton M112

#5 Easter Island's black truck with Reichard racing upper.

#6 is a Works 140.

No not mine

I have had a stock blower, a works blower, and a KB

but never one of those.

It might have been Pauls truck with the Protype Magnum powers blower.

Im fairly positive #6 isnt a Works140. Looks like a KB of some type.

The pulley setup looks like a KB... Works140 uses 4-bolts to hold the pulley on.

You can not get screw rotors for one of these.

I agree that the pulley looks too much like a KB to be ignored.

BUT, the case looks like no KB out there, and looks exactly like a works 140 case.

Even the prototype Kb's had the "lego block" style casing.
