    Default Rotrex supercharger

    Hi guys, any of yous ever bought this supercharger? just wanting to know from personal experience and how reliable they are.

    oh, I have a 1998 vt ecotech all over the shed floor which I'm putting back together soon, well hopefully...

    anyways, from what I've heard those rotrex can produce boost low down in the rpm range due to its unique traction drive, and it's a centrifugal S/C by the way folks.

    anyone?

    Fairly sure google would help you there.

    I'd be more interested in seeing a few photos of this 468rwkw F6, run it yet?

    Here's some pics mate and about the 468kw, well it left a freaken large hole in my hip pocket with the upgrade and tune. just don't want to get into details at the moment. as for times, thats something I don't want to find out just yet until I lost all appreciation for such a touch and reliable piece of iconic machinery. yep, ford are well know for building tough automotive.
    my main concern is the VT I'm trying to piece back together. I'm weighing between buying a new block or just rebuilt the motor and slap the rotrex S/C on for street and strip fun.

    Oh, I've found a shit here in Aus that sell those kits. they go for $6500 including intercooler and tune.

    beautiful car mate.

    I was looking at a black one of these, but due to needing a more "practical" car for photography have decided on a WRX, figured with a hatch, can serve as multi purpose while im out

    FG canes the VE in the looks department, I am still very impressed over the F6 compared to the GTS.

    Yeah I know mate, me 10yr son had the camera one w/e and ended up changing some settings in maze of option in the camera, including some mirror or rearview mirror affect or something. I resetted back to default but ended up in pieces when I couldn't figure out how to change the language to english from some bloody Asian language.
    oh well, it was only a cheap fancy ebay digital camera anyways.
