Freak
What you say is correct to a point, the first time oil contamination of the SC from engine breather oil ruined the internal drive. Not a fault of the product, engine byblow was above normal. If an engine is tired and held at full RPM (burnout comp) then obviously can occur. In the second instance the cause is not known by me or anyone else until the unit is returned to us, quite possible could be same cause since there is no record of it breathing problem being fixed. It should hopefully show up in a the next week, can check it then. Oil contamination will always fail any charger type with internal belt drive. Its not uncommon to rebuild up to 4 Powerdynes per week because of oil contamination, not a fault of the charger in those cases nor in the case of Raptor. I also supply parts for the gear drive brands as well, everything can be broken for one reason or another. It just depends on how well the manufacturer stands behind their product in the long run. Again not really any fault of the unit generally just depends on the abuse it gets.

All how you drive it, as you say. I'm just after a sleeper for the street that might see the top side of 5000rpm once or twice a week, probably not much more than 4000 in everyday use. Changing up at 4000 or so drops the revs back to 3000... it'll be in a nice range where it'll go noticeably better than it does now.

Normally I find that if a customer actually has an internal belt failure (Raptor) I keep an ear open for a while afterwards, if I start hearing things like diff breaking, axles breaking, gearbox breaking then I can be sure that the product is being given 200% workout. Then I know more about the actual cause and not much one can do with the level of use gets to those levels.
Some people are shocked when i take them for a drive, its like man I never hit mine that hard  more just a lot of RPM constantly 
Failure can come from many things (ask any car manufacturer), its a matter of customer support.

I am indeed, and I respect the forum so I don't want to go over board about ourselves until we become a sponsor or something similar. There was a point to address and let people know about other than that I am in the background for the moment
Welcome to PM me or whatever if you like no worries if its directly product related. I should change my ride details as well, have an AU2 6 cyl Ute now which has more relevance here than my VY

Welcome to PM me or whatever if you like no worries if its directly product related. I should change my ride details as well, have an AU2 6 cyl Ute now which has more relevance here than my VY by the way, whats the rated CFM for the raptor-V and would you be making the "R" available for the i6? Cheers

I e-mailed you this morning, waiting on the response. E-mail address was something like raptorsc@westnet or something like that - found it on your website. Do you have any thoughts about Raptor vs PD as discussed above (in particular a PD fitted with the upgrades you offer)? |

750cfm. Good info/detail on the Raptor V on www.928motorsports.com. The Yanks seem to expect a higher level of technical detail about products on their websites than seems to be the norm here.

The impeller and cover can flow air for 370rwkw on a Gen 3 and it is designed to flow much more, however the transmission is then going beyond its speed limit of 56 000rpm and becomes unreliable as does anything operated will beyond its speed limit.
With an ultra high speed Gear Drive in Raptor V all other superchargers in this class could not compete .... end of story. The impeller and cover are that good. No gear drive planned for V. Raptor V is operated within the constraints of its transmission and 10 - 12psi is great pressure for the price and the very small size of the unit. The flow for size is why it is becoming sought after in the USA.

For those that are interested in the aftermarket PD parts from Raptor SC.
The impellor is $550.00. The replacement shafts are $280.00. I'm still waiting on a responce with the prices of the better belt and bearings. and also weather or not he sells the pulleys themselves. He does not offer the vent mod that 928 Motorsports in the US offers, but instead can do an active cooling system for $280.00 including full external fan and hose system. O, and the Raptors impellors are made and ceramic coated overseas, so he cannot offer a replacement PD impellor that is ceramic coated. |
