OP should go read up on these rotrex units in the Honda world, reliability record and what it takes to rebuild. GL

Then you should get a Procharger with the helical cut gears. That’s exactly what you described. The ESS kits might also be an option for you since it looks like they offer exactly what you want.So I would prefer keep it simple with air to air and also I don't even have the stock airbox. I would preferable just want to stick a filter directly to the blower.
But the main reason I start to look into Rotex offering, was because they make way less noise
So many Good Centri options now, why bother?I was wondering why we haven't seen anyone build a kit utilizing a Rotex blower for the S550?
From what I have been told the planetary design of the Rotex allows for a steeper step up ratio then the conventional gear driven centrifugal blowers design that it seems all the other centrifugal blower manufactures use. The ratio is suppose to be more like 7:1 then 3/4: 1
So I assume it should then have the ability to be quicker to build boost. And also by it's design is suppose to create less noise while operating ( no gear whine)
SO, I started to wonder why no one has went with Rotex head unit in Coyote supercharger kits, if it design is in many ways superior to the more conventional gear driven units.
Now I Goggled it and the only thing that came up was a kit from some company named Kraftwerks, and that was for the Gen 1. But apart from that there seems to be no info related to Rotex boost for Coyote's .
I tried asking Alex Flores in is lifestream tonight. If Lund had possible come across tuning a Rotex boosted Coyote. and the only thing he said was "WOW!" and his reaction clearly meant that my question was too stupid for his liking to offer me a real answer to it, for some reason.
So, I am hoping any of you guys might be able to and willing to shine some light on this for me. As to why it seems no one likes to utilize Rotex superchargers in the world of Coyote tuning?
Thanks
ESS is Norwegian and they’ve relatively recently become popular. It’s probably mostly due to competition and the fact that people want the future ability to grow. Plenty of options on the market can do what you want already.Could it maybe be because Rotex superchargers are not US made? Things become hardly more American then a Mustang. So naturally US aftermarket companies dominate the platform.
But I was just curious since I heard that the Rotex had a steeper step up radio then the other centri blowers. So I thought it meant it might be able to spool up quicker and if the no gear design offer both very high efficiency and creates less noise. I thought it might be a interesting option for those that are thinking more about fun street power delivery in the 6-650 range on pump gas. ( but not as much low end as PD blower ) Then to chase some HP number and drag race it.
