haha eaton lol

its an opcon autorotor (made in sweeden)

i dont know the exact model but look up the autorotor website

the sprintex blower differs from the eaton as the opcon compresses the air and is a genuine twin screw blower

wooooohhhh

lol

get the kit 100% sorted first befor playing with pulleys etc...

there is a lot more to do before upping the boost...

also it's is as easy as changing the pulley to get more boost...

BUT things arent that simple, you will need a smaller puller derrr, but getting the belt to stay on and have tension and not slip... thats what needs to be looked into. also yhe efficency of the blower at 6psi is pretty good going up to 10-12psi might not be so good for it..

but stock kit well set up will get you 200kw atw and really anymore in fwd is kinda silly lol

do you think it would be worth emailing LysholmŪ and asking how much boost, or how many revs their S/C's can operate at? or would they be bound to legalities and crap like that

they have the efficency specs on the site... good luck working it out lol

sprintex can help you, steve was willing to help when i asked him about different pulley for more boost...

but the boost the3se things put out is more stressful than a normal s/c for example...

i mean max boost at 2k all the time is far tougher on the engine compared to something that boost peaks at 6k, cos you dont always floor it (well i do ;)) but you always take it to 2k:nuts:

max boost comes on way too early, good for low down power but it's gotta be hard on engine internals

10psi is ok at 6,000rpm but because of its efficency 10psi would come on at 3,000rpm causing all sorts of headaches (this is just an example)

yeah and in my case 10psi at 2000ish rpm = broken everything :shock:

Yeah, there's a few things that are happening if the factory ECU is flashable. If not I'll be getting an EMS running as a piggyback to control everything important. But if the ecu does get flashed 6 bigger injectors are going in right away and the 7th sprintex one wont be used for anything else other than a vaccum sealer.
