Roots supercharger?
 

Hey guys, I've been talking with a performance engineering company about a custom, water-intercooled, roots-style supercharger setup. Is there anyone out there besides me that is interested in such a thing?

If we got a few of us in on it, the price would probably be similar to other supercharger setups...

Thanks!

We were, We even started the cad work then we put the project on the back burner. Maybe down the line we will get back to it. It is going to be challenging .

I would love a roots-type for the down low grunt, but don't really love the roots whine. Still, with a V-type motor, it seems like an excellent thing to try. I think the dual throttle bodies could be an issue.

Is there no way to convert to a single throttle body?

Actually you just migrate them together.
The mustang I believe has two throttle bodies but just one giant intake, so if you build a custom upper intake manifold to support that no need to worry about a 2 to 1.

I much prefer the roots style. Had one on my '57 Chevy and loved it. Tell me more!

Just dont let Stillen design it

if u dont love the sound of a roots blower than :gtfo2:

Yep, I want a roots style as well.

:iagree::iagree::iagree::iagree:

You just described my dream set up for this car.

Yes -- please!

I don't care if you have to cut the hood -- just want it.


Seriously. No Mad Max fans? :icon14:

MB system with dual TB, i don't see this a design issue

Interested to see this happen.

Well, finding it on an OEM design belies the actual difficulty of retrofitting. Take as an example the GTR manifold on the 370Z project that no one has managed to accomplish despite years of effort. With that said, I hope it happens!

I'm sad that this is going to get going AFTER I have completed a twin turbo build. I would much rather have gone with a Roots or TVS SC setup. And the whine just makes it that much more awesome, even though it eliminates stealth.
