I have an extra set of bp intake piping if you need it.

I could totally print an intake for the filter too.

A decent positive displacement blower itself will fit under the hood... I think where you will run into problems is when you remember the intake manifold, intercooler, and pulley.

The timing chain covers and 60 degree block wont fit the blower at the bottom with the manifold on top like the hellcats or ZR1, so you have to put the blower on the top like the typical mustang setups. By the time the SC pulley clears the timing cover its probably already through the hood, and you probably still dont have enough space for a plenum and intercooler underneath it.

Hopefully next week my 2.9L whipple for my mustang will be here. I will take a look and see if it is even REMOTELY a possibility or just completely no-way. I think I know the answer but I will have the required stuff sitting around to look-see.

I think you would have to run the drive unit out the back and down the side of the unit similar to stillen's Titan unit:

Then you build a bracket and tie it into the pulley system. I think the biggest hurdle would be the Fuel rails and lower intake manifold... next would be to ensure you can get the strut bar back on the car...

bullitt5897 03-24-2015 04:25 PM

The unit would most likely be a whipple unit anyway...

My whipple thats coming has that built in

I think it will be a big mess for the VHR... especially with the dual throttle and all. I just dont see how the air piping can fit over the timing covers anywhere.. So the inlet would probably have to be in the rear, I am not sure if we can do a rear inlet that goes both directions while still having a rear drive for the blower. But I will peak around the different configurations they offer and see if I notice anything.

bullitt5897 03-24-2015 05:04 PM

You could cast an Inlet head to house two throttle bodies and run piping to one side. This would mitigate both of those issues. The dual throttle bodies definitely pose an issue and regardless both pipes will have to go in one direction similar to the current stillen supercharger kit.

I think no matter how you slice it, the pulley or jackshaft will be in the way on one side for the throttle

Charles, just duplicate gtm's kit and sell it to us! I'm sure alot of people are interested. :)

phunk 03-24-2015 09:53 PM

I would never duplicate someone elses work... but that doesnt mean I couldnt make something better that is partly inspired by it.

Problem is, I am in the middle of an intake manifold, turbo manifolds, crazy FMIC setup, and an updated road race pump. Maybe this summer I could look into putting together a SC, but I need to finish whats on my plate first!

Anyone have a blown/junk Rotrex charger laying around? If I had that, I could try passing the bracket design off on Brandon.. he would probably be interested in the project.

I'd be first in line for a phunk-improved gtm-esque setup.

Count me in as well

I can imagine the whine with the VQ behind it.

Awhile back I wanted to do this.

You are in luck!
I blew mine last month, will PM you some details and getting it to you.

Lol. I did this. Except I used the powerlab kit. Then that guy did too but over in Germany. We were both on stock DE blocks. His grenaded shortly after. I put about 7K on mine then sold both kits and the car to buy the 370.

The whine was toned down a bunch by having the intake muffled through the turbo. But before that with the stage 4 pulley you could hear me coming from 4 blocks away with no exhaust note.
