That's a shame... Worked a treat on my Micra just before I sold it! Made it worth an £300 than I'd paid for it! :D It was so satisfying as well!

I spray painted mine came up well. Nothing like new oem plastic though and good work underneath to keep it protected.

How fast is this car then? What is the supercharged deliverly like, fairly linear or does it tail off? I'd love to hear it on full chat!

There is big misconception on the internet that a supercharger gives it's power low down and a turbo is better for top end.

Those people can feck right off.

The power is instant. No lag. Any gear. Any revs. It doesn't matter. 5th gear at 2k. It pulls without problem instantly.

With the torque you want it as broad as possible and smooth and even. Power is linear and makes peak power and peak torque both up the top. Dyno graph on page one.

It's not like a centrifugal charger which has nothing until to top.

The final drive makes it really fast.

Hopefully the sort the belt slip out and it will make over 300whp and 240wlbft.

Rotrex is a centrifugal charger.

I wanted a broader more powerful torque curve so I went with a roots blower. Still makes everything up top but the torque is steeper much sooner.

Rotrex is nice and compact and with not having much room in my engine bay it was the perfect choice. Plus with my car only weighing 750kg with around 300bhp it should shift nicely.

Plus rotrex is way more efficient than a roots blower. But no whine though.

Sounds amazing, I am really quite jealous, it is a groundbreaking car by all accounts and a credit to you.

When I feel up to filtering out all the Nitin love comments I will re read the thread in full!
