They have a video on their facebook, kinda busy right now but wanted to post this. Rotrex FTW

Thanks to @Visconti for the link of FB also.

Oooh even more options :) I like the sound of a Rotrex unit too, any pics?

Edit: found a link to the video

A bit of a dirty looking setup... maybe just the prototype.

Details? PSI supporting mods etc

mmmm Rotrex C30 I'm guessing?

Side comment: Rotrex needs to put electric clutches on the rest of their lineup, not just the miniscule C8T that no one cares about.

Litchfield. British. So is that flywheel HP or RWHP?

nonicname 11-30-2012 08:47 PM

damn the torque to HP ratio sucks.
I care more for torque than HP. very nice but this isn't for me.

Gained more hp and tq than most stage 1 turbo applications so far, and shows about the same hp/tq ratio (gain ratio?).

Are you expecting 275/275?

I'm hoping the Innovate gets more torque, it won't have more tq than hp but is probably our closest chance at even numbers.

I want one!

Why start the plot at 3000 RPM?

Looks like that's where the numbers started changing

I find it suspicious; I wonder if they're making less power down-low. It's impossible to tell due to the color scheme, but it looks like the stock car might be making a hair more power at 3000 RPM and I'd like to see if that trend continues farther down.

Possible but Litchfield is very highly respected, especially in the GT-R world. I don't think they would hide it intentionally if that is the case.
