are there any differences in the early and late rotor packs other than the coating on the rotors?

THEY SEAL BETTER FOR BETTER COMPRESSION OF THE AIR ????
If the rotors are identical then why can't the old style 89 to 93 case be ported modded cut re machined and flow as good as the new style 94 95 or even the mpx?
the reason i ask is i would like to find a late model rotor pack and have it rebuilt.When i rebuilt my girlfriends 95 s/c i did the snout and coupler and the needle bearings,i purchased the rotor pack bearings and seals but was not comfortable with timing the rotors,So i put it back together and noticed when its cold it seems to rattle a little bit untill it gets heated up.runs fine just annoying really.My car does not make the rattle at all its also a 95 but a 5 spd.Anyway i wanted to have another rotor pack ready incase i have any issues with hers.
Sorry for the thread highjacking!! I was also wondering if the rotors were the same also but for a different reason. I know the cases are different but with the rotors being the same that means the cases on the early blower can be modded to flow as good as the MPX. Ofcourse I say that because I have a 4020 CNC machine, a lathe, and a tig welder. I'm going to cut and replace the back of the cases on my early style blower because I think the $1500 price on the MPX cases are too much to pay given I have the equipment to mod my own cases. Also making a new inlet plentum that will be larger than any on the market.
The Rotors are the same, except late model rotors are coated. Coated rotors are more efficient (more stable pressure and cooler running).I was also wondering if the rotors were the same also but for a different reason.

My inlet plenum is pretty big I dont think you can make it any bigger without losing your wiper motor. http://www.sccoa.com/forums/showthread.php?t=129273&page=3Sorry for the thread highjacking!!

Dave I got the idea of making my own plentum after seeing yours. It looks awesome. I may not be able to flow as good as the MPX however with all the equipment I have at my shop I think I can get some real gains without spending crazy money. I could make my own cases for alot less than I can buy an mpx for. Not blasting the mpx at all its a great investment for anyone that doesn't have the ability to make something of there own. I have a 50K dollar cnc so I think I'm better off to build my own stuff. My wipers have been out for quite awhile so losing the wiper motor isn't a big deal at all. Anyone have any results with the MPII MPIII setups?
I think in the end the MPX will out flow what I build. However if I was going to spend the money on the mpx I'd just buy a different blower ie kenne bell. Custom fab inlet will be really easy. What ever back plate I make for the blower will mirror another program for the inlet plate to begin fab of the whole inlet. I will be using the old style blower for this build as I dont have a new one on hand. I will post pics and start a new thread when I start this project. Probably tear into first of next week and be back on the road by the end of the week. Will need to get a throttle body to match up to the custom inlet. Any ideas of what TB I can grab off any other vehicle? Not really interested in buying something crazy expensive.
