all this discussion of which is better.......it's all good! I'm interested in the TVS because my car is mostly a daily driver that occasionally sees the track. If I was building a track car I would definitely want the Rotrex!Big Grin

I agree with every word you just said.

Colin, one OEM DOES use the Rotrex! I'm gonna butcher the name but, Koenssegg has twin Rotrexes on some of their cars. Granted, they are way out of our price range.Tongue

Oh and if youre bothered by a little wheelspin, maby get some more shoe time and learn to controll your foot better.Big Grin

for track racing it's better, I can make more hp and more torque WHERE I can actually use it...........

Having driven AND tested EVERY combination.....
Twincharge
Turbo conversion
Sprintex
TVS
Rotrex
I can tell you straight out there is nothing faster around a race track than the rotrex

You have never even ridden in a High Hp Mini........... I have

and they dont have the budget to market to a oem.
If they did its likely you would have herd of them before Longboards car....
the rotrex will be faster. you are at higher rpm all the time when accelerating.
also the tvs could mean wheel spin. but thats meh with a good ecu.

Rotrex superchargers are very well known to me, i hope this doesn't disassapoint you, long ago Longboards car. I am coming from the bmw world before the mini, where there are a lot of rotrex supercharger kits for them.
The reason the OEMs are not using them is ofcourse not what you mentioned, it's that they are only good at high rpms, and that they are a belt driven turbo, where as the turbo is much more efficient that a Rotrex and offers a much wider power band.

Good one, i even laughed Big Grin

But i told you again, for most of us, life isnt only the racetrack talking about our MINIs.

16psi of rotrex power = all time record




16psi of Roots..............
over 5sec behind with NO traffic...........yep Nick...... its sooooooooooooo much faster

Why did you post that video again.......... I WANT MY ROTREX! Tongue

RE: TVS900 Basics - Jan - 08-18-2012 09:00 AM

this argument is about How to put down big power in a Mini........
Unless you have tested them like I have, I'm not entertaining any fucking bench racing...........
