Hey guy, just wanted to see if someone could make heads or tails of this...
I was talking to a guy at work with a Honda del sol, and he was talking about using a screw blower with 40 PSI of boost. He seemd to know what he was talking about... cept he kept calling it a "compressor," that just sounds retarded to me...
From the way he was explaining it, it sounds like the ricers are shortening the intake duration (or lowering lift or something), so that the volume pulled into the cylinder is less, so they can run more boost?
Obviosly this would require a FMIC as temps would be waaay up there...
Is this just a ricer thing because they think 40lbs on the guage looks almost as kewl as their 3' wing on the back? Or is there a reason whay 40lbs of really hot "boosted air" in smaller volumes is better than 15lbs of hot "boosted air" with a normal volume of air?
Or is the heat difference between a screw blower and a roots blower all that different as to allow more boost ALOT cooler?
I am just curious???
thanks!
