R-Tech Superchargers
 

Does anybody have any experience with these?
Thanks

Ran One On My Dyno Was Awsome. Made Big Power Smooth Idled Nice. Inlet Temp Was Most Impressed With Inter Cooler Is Very Efficeint Just Mt 3 Cents Inflation You Know. STERLING IS USING THEM ON THERE 800 PACKAGE

R-tech builds intercoolers not superchargers. I have never had the call to run one, couldn't tell you from experience , but I have heard nothing but good things!

I am like Dean I have never ran one of his setups , But I have heard nothing but total praise about the R-Tech. I have a Vortech V-4 blowthrough setup & I would like to upgrade to his intercooler one day. I will also say that Tom has always gone over & above to answer any questions that I have ever had so customer support would be great ! & That meens alot !! I am shure you will get many responses to this with similar reply's. Later , Scott

I was very impressed by what I learned from them in Miami. Seem like they have the best solution for keeping temps down.

Briefly what are they doing different??

Effectively cooling the pressurized air.

Thanks Ron...smirt arse! I mean how is his intercoolers diff than others on the market?


And while we're at in, Ron, where the heck is this months mag?! :D

Given their size, my guess is increased surface area without any restrictions.

Thanks Guys

Me and a buddy of mine have quite a bit of experience with them and with Tom, the president of R-Tech. We have one installed on a gen VI 502 with iron heads and a mild cam. The set up has been extremely reliable for over 250 hours under some pretty severe use.

While it was not dynoed in the current form, the R-tech intercooler increased horsepower over 15% from the ATI Procharger intercooler when previously dynoed. Based on performance of the boat, we estimate it is probably making in the vicinity of 800 HP.

The short version of how it woks is: large intercooler + proper design and integration to maximize the efficiency of the intercooler + minimizing pressure loss between the compressor discharge and the intake manifold + reduced parasitic drag = Very substantial power gains + bonus of better engine life (due to lower intake charge temps than possible with other systems) The results are incredible and to drive one is an eye-opener!

Tom (R-Tech) has redefined the effectiveness of the centrifugal compressor in marine applications through the development of this system and it really works. On top of that he is extremely knowlegable and helpful with what ever the application.

I'm doing a nice write up on them. I had a chance to interview them in Miami. Bigger, less restriction more horsepower.

Did you get this issue yet? This is the LA Boat show issue. It got mailed two weeks after the LA Show ended. In Miami we had the next issue with the Destin article. It's being mailed out this week. It has a red canopied Outerlimits on the cover.

Nope....really starting to suspect the mailman! :evilb:
