The Toyota blower will make at 6 psi all the way to 5500 rpm, I have several dyno charts here showing that and they are all over the forums. But I'd still go turbo as they heat up the air less and it's just a better thing

Most people I've spoken too about the blower said they run out of efficiency around 3 thousand revs in 3rd. And with more capacity in the 3.8 you'd expect even less.

crs blower is more than happy to make 6psi boost all the way through the rev range.

6psi pulley on crs blower with a stocko v6 = about the same speed as an r33 gts-t.

Is this beyond 2nd gear, with a boost gauge/ or dyno readout to prove this?

I just don't see how that little blower can keep up enough puff.

yeah i got a dyno readout somewhere, 4th gear 1:1.. 143.3 rwkw and 6-7psi boost all the way through the rev range, will post up shortly.

power curve stops increasing at about 4,000rpm, (where boost skyrockets), but this was because of the valves being blown open, due to crapped valve springs.

that 'little' blower is 85 cubic inches positive displacement, compared to the 'perfectly sized' eaton M90 used on the l67 motor, which is 90 cubic inches, hardly a huge size difference...

look around the forums for IBLOWN's car, ran a 12.9 at over 100mph with one of these chargers @ 9psi.

Well there you go, I'm going to have to investigate these VL conversions again and see why everyone was running out of puff. Cheers.

i'd definately stick with the turbo on a vl! cheaper and significantly more cost effective!

i think the problem is that these blowers quickly become inefficient because of the amount of heat they produce when spinning real quick and producing decent boost (9psi..)

IBLOWN was saying that the only way he could get 9psi resonably safely out of these blowers was to run a cooler, which would give the hot air a place to go and therefore bring down the temp of the blower.
