VMP has a 3.1 liter TVS on the way

I wondered what they were going to do with all those Chinese made manifolds they weren't going to be able to sell anymore because of the MFP fiasco. I'd be looking for ground down number tags, lol.

The interweb bias is strong around here.. It's like video game consoles when I was a kid.. Nintendo, it's a cereal now... Nintendo, it's a breakfast, WOW!

Don't forget Sega's BLAST PROCESSING... Or how Sony sold out Nintendo..

Oh.. Wait.. Wrong thread

I dont think there is any other info available at the moment. It is an Eaton Rotorpack but only VMP has announced a 3.1 coming out.

Harrop in Australia have announced it too...

Whipple 3.0L (7 minute abs). Then VMP 3.1L (6 min abs). No no no. You can’t do 6 min abs, you don’t even break a sweat in 6mins. Lmao

Whipple 3.8....2 minute abs.

...but wait, how is PBD making 1100++rwhp on a 2.65 rotor pack?

Whipple has had 1300 rwhp and even a near 1500 rwhp on a 3.0 system. The blowers can huff just fine, it's simply a matter of what's practical for street applications in terms of crank size and pulley size (and rpm).

Most people will be just fine with the 3.0, only those on the upper end of it's range have to take extreme measures with belt slip.

That's why TVS should come in probably a 3.4 rotor pack, so people can reach 1000rwhp without having to overdrive the hell out of the accessory system and run a pulley the size of a bottle cap.

All things being equal (equal flow, equal cooling capacity) the roots starts off with a hand tied compared to a twin screw in terms of thermal efficiency.

As I've said before, the entire point of going with a roots previously was simplicity and reliability and reduced cost. These new boutique versions of the TVS are priced at a point that just doesn't make sense to me. For the same money, there's no way I'm buying a roots over a twin screw. But that's me.
