| I guess it wouldn't be classified as E-Series, but i thought there was also an 800hp odd XH XR8 ute in WA.That could be right that he wants to Supercharge it, but for the 6's its a hell of a lot easier and cheaper to get a turbo kit for it. Having a PD blower on a 6 would be fairly unique. To whole most power thing out of cars is s**t, especially E-Series. They're no where near some of the newer cars. But in the end, look at how reliable any of them are. haha

The heritage green(IIRC?) XR6, whipple, motec, slide throttlebody, water to air cooler and a 10 second pass.
Its been in magazines and s**t. |

Remind me next time you are over schnoods. I have a write up from a a mag of it. Very tough car. Was running 10s on stock internals (from various E series models).
It's no the heriatige green any more. It did use to be that colour though (I think). It's that lighter green that is found in the AUs as well now.
It runs a 2300 SRM screw compressor supercharger. It's an insane piece of engineering, and the owner is very nice and talkative about it. I remember racing him at the drags in my XR8, and I just watched him kill me from beginning to end, skipping all he way down the track to run an 11. There has been a LOT of money spent there though.
I remember hearing a while ago it was back in the shop being rebuilt with top notch interals. I don't knw if he unched it, or if he is doing it before it goes, but it was a monster before, so I can't wait to see what come of it when it is re-done.
The XH XR8 as fritzz said is a Vortech V7 powered 347 built by MWS.
Click here for a link to the MWS site and some details on the car.

Last time I saw the Dentist he was pulling the whipple off and putting a T88 or GT45 on it (not sure of the details there).....He was buying an engine every 3-6 months or so with the whipple, it was never reliable....but then again they WERE pushing the envelope looking for every last hp and the tune was always on edge.
I think I've covered this before, turbo systems are more efficient, both adiabatically and how they extract their power from the engine, as long as your above 12psi or so and both are sized to make roughly the same air flow.

Dan i've just fitted a Raptor supercharger to my BA 6 ute and it's awesome.Fitted it myself in a few hours.
You actually do get boost from idle but it justs gets better as the revs build.
As for it being harder and costlier to fit than a turbo that's garbage ,actually cheaper as i don't need all the heat management crap associated with a terdbo.Not dissing terdbo's they go great but it's a heap more work and it can get exy.This i know as i've done both.
Mate PM me if you need to know more.

| Barking up the wrong tree there BC... a centrifugal blower (ie Raptor) is a completely different animal to the Positive Displacement blowers this thread is about.

What did it cost you buy and to fit? How much power is it making?
As good as all the new people on this site say they are I refuse to believe they can outshine a well sorted turbo system.
Prove me wrong.

Kit cost a little bit less than retail,you've obviously got a computer.
I fit it myself with no instructions as my disc drive is US and the instructions were on a CD.The MAP sensor was the hardest a pain to get out and a newy back in.
Stock BA is supposed go to around 300 EKW but untill i hit a dyno get my STOIC sorted bigger CAT and stuff i won't know .
I run a 290 Boss today he got the jump but my "R thing"started to walk slowly past him, i know the guy and he was as surprised as me.
Let's be friends please.
