Thread: Gen 3 Gen 5 Hybrid

if I had been able to find it somewhere else, I would have gone there, but I couldn't find anyone else selling it.

Magnuson was the leading M90 guys back before they started making supercharger kits and became affiliated with Eaton. I don't know if they sold out or what. They used to make a series of modified M90's for the Tbird SC and did a lot of R&D back then.

I'm still considering getting my rotor pack drilled to reduce rotating mass and increase efficiency. steigemeier is the only one I know of that can do it, and last I heard his tool to do it was broken.

I wonder if Magnuson ever researched drilled and/or lightweight rotor packs.

Honestly, 400 is cheaper than I would have thought....not bad really.

I've got a Steigemeier Gen5 that we bolted onto Blueguy's beater.....wonder if he did anything to the inside or not.

Wasn't worth looking into at the time.

Actually forgot about Steiegmier, he used to do a lot of heads for the SC bunch. I even had a thread about drilling the rotors. I have somewhere on the SCCOA where I removed the rotors and weighed them they are like 4# each. I used an epoxy paint on the ones I took apart. I didn't drill them because they have to be rebalanced.

I'll have to see if I can find those old threads I had a lot of them there.

I was wondering if you guys had done anything to the inside of that steigemeier gen 5, reading the thread would lead to believe it wasn't done because of the nature of the build. I've never seen anyone do a drilled/light weight rotor pack, so it would be interesting to see how much boost it would make. 15+ lbs of boost would be badass.

Reptile: that makes me feel a little better about spending that much on a rotor pack. I think that rotor pack makes the supercharger sound louder.

We hadn't done anything to it.
I bought a car, and pulled everything off of it to sell to fund a different engine build, and I never sold the blower, but I screwed up and sold you the injectors. lol

Storage closes at 5 I usually don't get home till 6 sometimes I catch them open. Didn't happen tonight I'll go by there this weekend for sure. I have a Lightning case and a Jag M112 in there so that will give the OP the info he's looking for.

When we learned about the new Gen V supercharger we looked into ways to incorporate it into out cases, there wasn't any way to do it. ESM was doing the coating but there issues with some of the first ones. I wish I still had my epoxy rotors I did they were really nice looking.
