2.6 TVS revealed today
- Thread starter wckdvnm

They are called "hybrid roots" sometimes. I think it's to distinguish the twist that creates the extra lobes. To my knowledge they still don't compress in the housing like a twin screw and are still blowers. Not as many in depth tech articles as I wish there were. I guess people are more interested in numbers rather than how.
Not a heck of a lot can be done with the intercooler since the space in the intake is a limiting factor. The only other option currently is the one made by Griffin that has been sold by a few places, now with LFP.
As an FYI, it's 1/2" shorter and wider, which I would imagine lets the charge air make the turn easier - if that matters. It's also a 10-row compared to the 9-row Garrett and uses an "Extruded tube" design compared to the OE "bar and plate".

Original TVS rotor as a comparison (with the roots also shown). These had a 160° twist and it's 170° for the R2650 now:
I would definitely re-upgrade... 2.6 with my killer chiller would be perfection!!!
Yeah I think I'm going for this. I've been wanting to keep my 03 stock and keep or sell and get a GT500, but I think I might enjoy the 03 more if it was modded.
A fuel system, 2.3 or 2.6 and some corn juice will make that car a heck of a lot of fun. Much more violent feeling than a s197/550.

As long as it can hang with the latest and greatest then I think I would be satisfied
Here are the cliff notes

less belt slip AND the blower will not spin as fast and therefore should last longer

New cars are a lot heavier, you’ll be just fine in a 3600lb 700+ hp car. And the cars that are faster are like $100,000 bucks and up. My car wasn’t a daily driver and when I would go WOT it was always impressive.

What is that issue. Sorry I missed it.
IAT sensor doesn’t sit into open airflow. The sensor mounting pad needs to be machined down allowing the sensor tip to sit lower so air flows over/around it rather than being recessed and surrounded by the heat soaked blower base. Fixing this issue will allow the IAT temps to read true air temp not the heat soaked base temp (non heal soaked means lower temp)

Is this something you've fixed?
Soap made the discovery, I just recently did the modification as well.

Price wise, should run a tad more than the 2.3? Thoughts?

3,999$ For just the head unit, no Throttle Body or Plenum.
I'm excited to see what it will do
