Don't know if this has been posted already but check out the size of this thing!!! it takes 900hp just to drive it, 3200 hp capable the spec's indicate. Here is part of the article explaining this unit and it's application.

"It's hard to believe that engine builders and racers are looking for even higher power levels and increased blower efficiencies than the F-3 models already deliver," says Jim Summers, Motorsports Director at ProCharger. "The F-3 has proven capable of 2,000 horsepower on pump gas and 3,000 horsepower on an engine specifically designed for use with a supercharger and running alcohol fuels."

Make sure your cat isn’t walking buy when you fire it for the first time, it might just suck it in.

I'll take 2. One for the car, the other for my lawnmower.

 

can you imagine what kind of monster motor you would need to actually run this thing. even if you were to build a motor that could generate the 900 hp minimum to make it function properly, then in order to make the most out of it you would have to build a motor capable of not grenading at 45 PSI!!!!!!.

I'm assuming this is just for full drag car applications that run alcohol or nitrous and run for a maximum of 40-50 seconds at a time right?

 

Man so this is sick. I would love to see an engine use this blower!!

 

One of the members on our local Z forum ran some numbers on what it would take to run this on a VQ.

"For a 3.5l engine to flow 5400cfm at 45psi it would have to be spinning at a little over 18,600 RPM...................LOL!!!!

 

^^ my bike can turn 19,000 RPM....looks like I'm buying one for the crotch rocket

 

Looks like a S/C off of a train! Crazy stuff.

 

You'd need to extend your car by a foot and a half to fit it in judging by that SC mount.

 

are there any drag cars running this yet?

 

Don't think so, above the spec's i listed out they are talking about the older F-3 model which is smaller.Thinking about upgrading to this? j/k,jk........

 

^^^lol..yeah strap it up in the trunk somehow maybe...

what nittos did you get?

 

Cmon Joe you can handle this.............lol.

 

what nittos did you get?[/QUOTE]

NT05's.......love um.

 

where does it say it takes 900 HP to run it? the specs show that it should be used on a motor capable of making 900+ HP in Naturally aspirated form.

I'm sure you'll see this blower showing up on several NMRA Mustangs.....guys like Jim Blair. He's already sponsored by Procharger.

 

Can I run stock injectors with this supercharger?

 

^^^No only I can!

 

My bad, you are right! still i wonder what the hp loss is to drive this monster supercharger?

 

My guess would be about 75-100 hp

 

I think i read some where that the roots type superchargers on top fuel dragsters require 300hp just to drive the s/c itself.

 

$100 paypal ready if someone fits it in our engine bay..
