New centri superchager?

[scholle]

It's different for sure. It uses a Rotrex C38-91 Supercharger. Rotrex = gear-less trans / fluid traction drive. CVT-ish...you decide
The advertised power numbers aren't unrealistically high.
This setup looks heavy duty and a little bulky like the Procharger i-1. Might be an option for someone looking for something different.

Kinda neat electric supercharger on there also.

"Their unique traction drive technology is what makes all of this possible, which, unlike other superchargers, transmits power through frictional forces between its rolling elements."

:??: :??: :??: :??:

Edit: Found this. Now that I see the inside I understand how it works. Pulley rotates a big circle inside that transfers power to other circles with friction material I'd imagine being similar to an lsd/auto trans clutch pack, that eventually turn the impeller. I like the gear design better.

I hope those are prototype pictures...

The head unit has been around a while, never seems to have caught on an any application I have seen it for.

that MAF placement looks no bueno.

They could have at lease made nice cuts on the intake piping boots for the pictures. Not to mention the bent up air filter...not the mention the afterthought intake.

I remember seeing those years ago for the 3v cars

that MAF placement looks no bueno.

Why? Is it too close to the TB, too close after the coupler, or too close to the bend? Just trying to learn more every chance I get

looking at the lower pic it looked very close to the bend before the TB and the bend looked kinda sharp , but now looking at the upper pic it doesn't look so bad , still probably not optimal though

Fit and finish looks poop. Also, after thought placement of open element filter, with no shield, just above header. Hope they have efficient intercooling.

Cant see why anyone would buy this unless it was $2500 out the door...

and even then...

Id like to see a dyno graph of this, and compare the power curves with a Procharger/Paxton set up.

they dont produce GREAT results...in the 350z community they were looked down upon, everyone loved the vortech....but for 2-2.5k out the door without tuning it was good enough for those who just wanted the BOV sound

A buddy of mine had the HKS Rotrex SC on his 350z and it was pretty sweet. I know a lot of ppl didn't have it because they didn't put out the greatest numbers.
