Roots style blower on a viper and c5

[AstroRide44]

does anyone have referance pics of eaither of these cars with a top mounted roots style blower?

[supratuner]

search on google


if that doest, or hasnt already helped you then i guess im no help

i think in reality a roots type blower on a Viper or or Corvette would be almost impossible. Most of the fuel injected cars are running belt driven blowers. But, i do remember awhile back seeing a nice viper with a roots blower in SAE.

thank you, but, dont laugh im getting better gas millege than you

You may be able to rig up a centrifugal supercharger.

Look under how-to's. If that doesn't work, you can use that same tutorial to learn how to make a turbocharger.

What do you think drives a roots type supercharger, or centrifugal for that matter? A belt! How is it impossible? The lightning has EFI and runs a belt driven ROOTs supercharger.

I couldnt think of the correct word for the non roots type blower. But, the setup the 8.0L and LS6 uses it would be nearly impossible to use a roots. But if you beg to differ, show me an 8.0 or an LS6 with a roots.

thanks for the pics SR5. and camaroSSboy i think u got ur foot stuck in your mouth.

In modeling terms: A centrifugal blower would be much easier. You would have to build an entirely new intake etc.

In reality: Why would you add a roots blower on the LS6/LS1/Etc. A centrifugal blower is more 'cost' efficent. More money then brains..or vise versa..which ever way you want to look at it.

Leroy, your still an asshole, now stfu.

on a side note: Actually, no i dont have my foot in my mouth. That would be nearly impossible..maybe a toe, but not a foot. Astoride, i also see you own a "Chevrolet SS" Would this be a Camaro?

[AstroRide44]

ya it would. i was just sold along with my dads 71 nova

Just because I proved you wrong, doesn't mean you need to be an inconsiderate fucking dickhead. Fucking loser!

*EDIT* you're not worthy of being a prick...

I would think that a roots type would be the easiest in both 1:1 and 1:25? You'll have to make a new intake either way, and a roots type can sit right on top of the motor, which would make the gains instant on the throttle. Plus, I think roots have been around a lot longer, which would make it easier to fab one up, and aren't they pretty reliable due to their simplicity? In scale, easy peasy. You can score a flathead supercharger from Replicas and Miniatures of Maryland (here) which is so freakin' pretty and about the right size, though maybe not particularly prototypical, or just chop in half one of the superchargers that comes standard in just about all Revell or AMT kits. Making a new intake, no problem, since most of it will be hidden by the supercharger and really, I don't see why you couldn't use the intake manifold that came out of whatever kit you stole that supercharger from.

Sorry CamaroSSBoi, 86SR5 is on it like an Easter bonnet.

Woah, dont get your panties in a twist. I never denied the fact that you proved me wrong, in fact you did. But..your still an asshole..which comes all the way back from SR.

I do agree with you on some points, but lets use the 5.0 and 4.6 Mustangs motors for example. I think a centrifugal blower would be easier in model scale. All you really have to do is create a new pulley, some belts, and make a new pipe. You can still use the same upper and lower intake. Same goes for the LS6/LS1, Viper. Anyways..why be blown when you can be (turbo) boosted?
