    Can a twin screw charger be adapted to be placed "before" the TB?

    How much more throttle response could you possibly need beyond what a normally configured twin screw provides? Has a conventional arrangement been tested and proved inadequate in this application?

    Old Engines are inefficicent at creating power/torque,WHY?

    I'd like to point out that the person who originally mentioned 360s did not sepcify displacement. The mopar small blocks can be built into some very large(~472ci) and very stout strokers. I had some personal expereicne wiwth a pump gas 425" 360 that made ~540hp NA. That motor had a...

    Blown and boosted questions.

    @OP: ISBN 978-0-8376-0168-7 chapter 7 will get you what you are looking for if the first approach isnt exact enough for you.

    Blown and boosted questions.

    @mattsooty: I labelled the simple approach I provided him as a "ballpark" way to size the compressor. If he wanted to go more indepth I'm sure a little research could lead him to an iterative method with target mass air flow, volumetric efficienceis ratio, PR, temperature gain and density ratio...

    Blown and boosted questions.

    What type of boost are you looking to run? As you probably know, the intake manifold pressure comes from differential displacement between the compressor and engine. The autorotors have internal compression (my 2.2L is about 6psig IRC) but ultimately the manifold pressure depends on engine...

    Blow-Through Twin Screw?

    After some more research terminator cobra/lightning style throttle bodies can be had from performance upgrade take off for $25 and flow 1089, the flange will support up to 1700cfm with an aftermarket accufab unit. I am going to cast a new inlet elbow that curves the opposite direction and has...

    Blow-Through Twin Screw?

    CI*PR*5200*VE/3464 = CFM It is interesting to note that the often thrown around flow bench value of the inlet in question is 550cfm (from OP) My logs show PR falling to 1.31 at the 5100 rpm shift point. 360*1.33*5100*.8/3464= 563cfm limit...... Once the truck is back on the road I still...

    Blow-Through Twin Screw?

    The truck's original EFI was speed density based. The factory coputer is still controller timming with a retard box and the fuel has been taken over by MegasquirtII running Extra 2.0.1 code. So I don't have to worry about the airflow meter. I think I'll add a standard pop off type BOV for...

    Blow-Through Twin Screw?

    I will take the data that you suggested once the truck is tuned in it's current state. The inadequencies of this kit are well known and the kit is dicontinued and relatively unsupported by KB. It was designed a relatively long time ago and since many of kenne bell's kits have had upgrades...

    Blow-Through Twin Screw?

    I have a 2.2L KenneBell supercharged 99 Dakota R/T 5.9L In its original form the kit uses a draw through stock type TB (my Holley flows 860cfm) on a restrictive long inlet that passes over the distributor at the rear of the motor. This inlet is rumored to flow only ~550cfm. In datalogs I have...
