JB-370z

will the sc change the note of the engine or exhaust, maybe make it sound meaner

Anytime you force air into an engine, it sure will, should sound awesome

Sam,

couple of questions,

1. Will you be going for CARB approval on the stage 1 or any of the kits?
2. Will you be including an oil cooler with any of the kits? I"m assuming that this will be a must have.
3. Any thought on how the intercooler will block air flow to the radiator effecting engine temps, especially in stop and go traffic?

Thanks for all the updates, great work!!

A S/C shouldn't heat the air as much as a TT setup would, so an intercooler shouldn't have to work "that" hard in stop/go. At least, that's my thought.

However, not in a TT's case, the energy in the exhaust gasses is used to push a turbine which leaves little to be dissipated as sound. So the exhaust tone will be quieter than even an NA setup with that same exhaust. The engine itself though will definitely become louder as it is combusting more air & fuel

Boost is boost, the rotrex charger is nothing but a compressor like that on a turbo powered by the engine's crank shaft rather than a turbine. The same heat will be generated in either cases at the same boost pressure to an extent. That's why an intercooler was utilized.
