Topgunz ROTREX C38R Supercharger Kit

Redondo really pushed the V3. Even overspinning it on the ACE kit we only get 15psi with a turboguard. If you run that blower at it's max recommend from factory it is around 14.5psi with a turboguard. With a proper filter setup (an actual cone filter) it's 12psi.

I can't recall but I think Redondo's oil slinger ate itself apart around 17psi...? I know Soho did a write up where it starts to spit oil out at 18psi. From what I've seen anything over 15psi puts that unit on a yearly rebuild list. Past that the oil slinger cavitates the oil and turns it into a froth not allowing proper cooling since it is self contained. That's when things go bad. (Straight from Vortech).

On your kit, the way you currently have it set up, how close is the Rotrex unit to being maxed out?

Current setup hits max. 90k. But I've seen lots of guys state you can push it to 95k. Some do 100k or over but they will need to be rebuilt after a couple years like that.
