Got a Roe Supercharger? Please read

[BOTTLEFED]

I am in as well. How many have the water/methane intercooler and do you think it makes a difference? Thanks. Garth

It has an intercooling effect.
Yes, it does make a difference if you tune for it. You can add more boost with less chance of detonation because of the water. You can also run a little leaner and add more timing since the **** adds octane. The cooler IAT will mean more air going in and thus more power.

Just joined as well. I'll post pics soon.

Oh I am aware how the W/M setup works, just never heard of a W/M intercooler. Thought I was missing out on something. Intercooling effect, not an intercooler though. Was curious to see something new added to the Roe.

 

[BOTTLEFED]

I'd like to research the dimensional differences between our current autorotor (2.2 ltr I believe) vs the 3.4 ltr housing. Obviously would like to get the availability for greater boost vice spinning our little blower faster. Even if it required hood clearance modifications, that would be OK to know just for planning purposes. First question to answer is the basic "can it be installed." ???

Eric, we are on the same thought process

I have been doing some research on the KB bigbore units. The dimensions seem to be similar, and we have plenty of room fore and aft. The problems come from the width and especially the height. The hood would have to be modified for it to fit. And since we are raising the hood, there would be room for an intercooler as well.

I was thinking of starting a thread on it, but figured no one was interested, and the topic would just sink.

The blower on the Roe setup already stays hot for an extremely long time after the car is off. Gets no air flow up there. Can't imagine how hot a bigger setup would be.

speaking of intercoolers, there was a guy on here saying how he had a custom built IC for his roe. i think it was in the summer. did he ever post pics of it ? id love to see it.

I'm listening

I'm spraying w/m and it works great. When my car was on the dyno and making a pull, I put my hand on the intake tube and could literally feel it get cold to the touch when the w/m sprayed. Pretty cool.

 

[RedEnuf93]

I'm in with my Gen 1 and 8lbs pulley.

 

[plumcrazy]

I'm listening

im pretty sure its 1BADGTS's friend who has this roe car im talking about with the intercooler.

yep... but do you really believe anything he says

I was pondering how a laminova flow intercooler arrangement integrated inside the body of the ROE manifold would work. It seems to me that there is enough room end-to-end to have 4-5 smaller diameter laminar tubes plumbed. The rear of the manifold is perfect for all the connections. I have read that the new Chevy Cobalt is using laminova intercoolers in the manifold...
Laminar Flow Intercooler

 

[KNG SNKE]

How would you even plumb that in there? I think Ellow has a winter project ahead of him .

 

[Drmcar]

Yes tht is what I am referring to. sorry if the terminology was incorrect. Thanks for any input. Garth

No hotter from heat soak. Less heat in the air because it wouldn't have to spin as fast to make the same boost. You need to watch a w/m car on the dyno when the tubes and s/c frost over

 

[Mr Hemi Head]

S'cuse me (raises eyebrow)
W/M intercooler?

I'm listening
I have a water **** setup but I haven't installed yet. Is that what you are referring to? If so that is not an intercooler.

Stepping up from a 5lb pulley it is a must.

I have one of Roe's first run W/M kits and it was a PITA to tune...the Roe card was worthless.

Maybe good for an extra 25hp with a mild tune.

 

[KNG SNKE]

So don't use the w/m kit? I don't think I have a local who can really tune the w/m kit. All I have is the Roe tune. Not looking for issues with my car.

Those pipes are so clean!!!!!!!!

 

[bumblebee]

thanks guys!!! yeah....I'm very anal with my toys!!!!

 

[bumblebee]

Why is it that my ROe seems like it makes no blower whine?...Is it because of my Belanger headers, Randon high flow cats and Belanger exhaust? SO....loud I cannot hear it??

I heard a few Roe vipers on you tube at wide open throttle coming towards the camera and it has A loud whine to it...Like any whipple style blower.

Just trying too get a little input....thanks

 

[KNG SNKE]

At cruise speed you should be able to hear it slightly, it is a distinct sound. At WOT you will never hear it. The exhaust in the car is wayyy to loud. At the dyno standing next to my car I could not hear it. When I watch the video I shot it is screaming. Out on the open road the exhaust doesn't pollute the air in front of you so you can hear the screaming first.

 

[bumblebee]

I think I'll set up a camera on a country road and give her hell towards the camera....just curious on what my ride sounds like

 

[KNG SNKE]

well if you watch the end of my video you can distinctly hear the supercharger whining. My buddy was about 20 to 30 feet off the road and I let off the gas right before I passed him. He said it was extremely loud that far away.

 

[1TONY1]

thanks guys!!! yeah....I'm very anal with my toys!!!!

Your just on the wrong end to hear it The 5lb pulley might not make as much noise but it's still there. BTW, if that's the car from Atlanta I did the install.
Actually, this might be your exact s/c, just on a different car. Same pulley as yours....making a little noise huh

I'm running 5lb and you can hear it screaming. Even over the music listen to the end of the video.

NOPE...Kwang just kept her clean and healthy....
Yeah Tony....my airfuel ratio on the wide band reads @ 15..is this high. The car does not smell rich @ idle...but it pops like hell on the decelleration. I thought the air fuel should be 2 12????

Thanks buddy
