Yes. This type of charger moves a certain vol of air per revolution. A bigger blower moves a larger vol of air per revolution thus higher boost is achieved at the same revolution rate.

I do not see why the intake manifold has to be different; the outlet wedge should be the same size and the bolt pattern looks to be the same on both images.

It doesn't bolt on. My guess is the bolts in the rear have to be moved/changed.

Not saying this is what will happen on our motor but here is an idea of what a 1.6L whipple twin screw is capable of. He has lower boost pump gas charts towards the bottom.

It doesn't have to be, just by drawing some lines in MS paint it looks to have slightly different dimensions where the compressor bolts up to the manifold. However, who knows if these are to scale side by side.

does soon mean as long as a wait as the original unicorn?? or maybe this one will be fast to production since they have already test the first one and this is just a bigger blower?

The mounting pattern seems to be identical from the sprintex drawings.

Well I imagine if you want to sell your old core you'd need to include the manifold. I'm assuming the manifold isn't too expensive. Sprintex only means higher $$$ for us in the USA.
@xjohnx are you running the 70mm pulley? Now that the intercooler is out, I'm tempted but wanted to hold off until the spring.

I've got it, but am not running it.

I am petty sure this is like the innovate super charger. sprintex, innovate and one other compay partnered up

Yes this is well known.

Sprintex makes the kits. Sprintex distributes it in AUS, Innovate in US and Cusco in Japan.

Right I see. pretty cool. so this thread geared toward only Australian market? I'm on my phone I probably missed it lol

There is no way they wouldn't find a distributor for it in the US. I don't think they would want to exclude that market.

That being said, there are obviously ways of getting sprintex-only parts. FA20club intercooler for example. Grey market is real.

My next upgrade is here.. weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Coming from the R53 mini crowd, sprintex makes an upgrade kit for the R53 that has been getting mixed reviews. One of the reputed mini shops RMW is actually working on a TVS roots blower, which is supposed to be pretty darned good. I'd like to see a PD SC kit with a TVS 900.

We have an email re these kits direct from Sprintex, I am of the opinion to run the bigger blower will require a built motor.

I am very worried about hurting the con rods with to much boost at low engine RPM speed.

We are happy with the efficency of the charge cooler system on our development car , we are also looking at measure IAT before the SC and the charged air after the charger to help build a added Race Rom map for better control of IAT compensations;

The Bigger charger will make our cars fly with a built motor.

We hope to have an upgraded charger very soon for development
