New A/C compressor!

I'm not sure it is feasible though.
There are alot of obstacles to overcome.
But nothing easy is any fun...

Yes, it's a Eaton positive displacement serpentine driven supercharger from a 2003 Mustang Cobra aka Terminator. It's going to assist the turbocharger.
Wow, I can't wait for the reviews.... I wonder, will you use this as your manifold charger? And will you charge air/water cool it? Not trying to be nosy, but wait, well maybe I am. As a manifold charger for a huge atmospheric turbo....... I can see it now......

I'm not going to run it much past 1.25:1 pressure ratio, so it won't heat the air up excessively. This would be like running the blower at 4 PSI boost in a normal gasoline engine. Water injection will be the cooling method along with a factory CAC "post-turbo-pre-blower". If my primary charger makes 55 PSI at the gauge, then by running the Eaton I can get 72 PSI at the gauge, or 25% more oxygen which could make 150 more HP.
The goal is to widen the turbocharger's effective map by giving the surge line a kick start. This should give it better low RPM towing capabilities without hurting the high-rpm race performance.

remember-gmc did on all there engines(detroit diesels)
so if they can do it way back then-mcrat can do it now
GM had to do it because of the 2 stroke nature. If I remember right, positive displacements create extra heat because of the friction created by all the surface area.
Good luck. OT Pat i called twice over a month ago with questoins on some parts, a couple PM's to either Kat or You and haven't heard back. In some cases it's been over 8 weeks.
Everything ok?
Jus let me know wassup! Thank again for everything else.:hug:
Was that after you stopped into the shop and you didn't have time to go to lunch? Send me a PM what parts you want quoted and I will get you an answer.
I don't think I have gotten anything after that.

PAT u must just think about more power non stop ??
god i bet ur head spins at time..
but this would be sweet i dont understand really how its gonna work but would be kool..
HEY more power is always better..

I already bought the parts that's what i am trying to say, thank you but nevermind?
Sorry about lunch as I explained at that point, I was playing hookie from work and had to move onto my appt, I owe you lunch.
We talked via phone, actually i called and asked you and Pat was going to call me back.
No biggie, it's all good. I still owe you guy's lunch.

Not sure if it would be of any help but there are several companies that modify these eatons to flow a lot more air. I was involved with modifing Ford Lightnings from when they first came out. We just kept overdriving the blower more and more till it got to the point the air was soo hot that it actually hurt us. Porting helped but since then the blowers can now be sent out and worked to make almost as much power as the twin screws that everyone was ditching them for.
