VWC 0 Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Had a Vortech then a Rotrex, Rotrex is another level the Vortech could never reach, power at over 400 hp and 330 torque + its smaller lighter quieter and no belt slip issues... depends what your power goal isHere is my setup: Link to post Share on other sites
kcw 1 Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 How does the Rotrex seem to not suffer from belt slit yet the vortech does, its not got a toothed belt like g40s and g60s does it? Link to post Share on other sites

Lizard Racing 0 Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 I'm just saying its not the most attractive set up' date=' a polished Vortech looks nicer but I dont think there's any denying the Rotrex is the superoir supercharger.Just out of interest, what are the containers located close to the charger? The black one is for the Aquamist right but what are the other two? (black one with pipes going to it and greyish one that looks like its for filling something up)[/quote']The black one with the blue lid is the Rotrex traction oil reservoir, the other black one is a ZF Engineering oil seperator and the beige one is a Ford power steering reservoir bottle which I used to run to enable me to fill up the charge cooler.Still loving those figures Bobby!
