wow why are they like that

Not totally. Power is required to spin a turbo. The turbo creates resistance against the exhaust flow and therefore, slightly more energy is required from the pistons/rotors to expel that exhaust. Granted it's not much, but it is there. The benefit that a turbo has over a SC where parasitic drag is concerned is that drag increases with revs on th SCed engine, where with a turbo, drag lessens or stays similar as revs increase.

More info on those rotors!! lol... what is the benefit, where is their site?

assgrabber

thats the cnc machined lightened rotors from racing beat....





in my machining experience, to just to run a mill around on a face of a rotor -- its way overpriced.



benificial? yup, you bet.



price? sucks the fat one.

Thats what the RX-8 rotors are built like. It has that beveled edge for the side exhaust ports.

Those CLR rotors are lightend, and beveled. The lightening, of course is to improve response, it's easier to spin rotors that weigh less. And the Beveling on teh side of the rotor is to get some more timing out of the ports with out porting them, it also helps the motor to flow a little more because the air moving from the ports doesn't have to make such a sharp transition into the chamber.



As far as SC over Turbo, I don't really have any prefrence, especially since I have never seen a SCed RX7. Just pic a power level, and build the motor accordingly. And if you use a SC, I would only use a Twin Screw. Maybe a 6-71 blower, that would be neat.

And if you want to check out the work involed in a custom SC install, check out some posts by 88IntegraLS he put a twin screw in his NA.

Well, I vote for supercharger, obviously because I have one on my car!



The instant boost outweighs a turbo's fun factor any day in the city driving...

I say S/c, bc I want insant power I dont want to have to wait on it.

Uh, they aren't Racing Beat, as said before they are CLR rotors.



And I vote turbo simply due to the fact I'm one broke ****, and can do a complete turbo conversion for under 400 bucks.
