Supercharger/compressor information?

Quick question about supercharging compressors. Does anyone know of a good website to find information such as rated speeds of compressors, like the m62 for example? Thanks in advance.

Am I going crazy? Please tell me a mod moved this because I was under the impression I posted in the Tech Garage. Aoshi = senile at age 19

MP62 wouldn't be too bad on a renesis.

Yes it would. Go back and find Hymees flow chart. Rotarys are not very efficient they need more air and fuel to get the power. Don't be hurt it is just a fact. I had to learn it the hard way. The first SC I built for the rotary was flowing just about what the MP62 does. It needs 30% more to do the job. That is one of the things holding up my finishing the blower project. I had to start over.

Also note how much air you gain with the Eaton going fron 5 to 10 psi, nothing. That is because it is all heat. Then go look at how much HP it takes extra to get the 10 psi. See the math really works. Lesson: don't go over 5 psi with these things.

There are a few RX-7 guys that have adapted the M90 to the rotary engine. They are limited in boost with this unit though. It would be fine for a mild increase on a street car but it you wanted more, the M112 would be a better choice. You still have to contend with the inefficiency of the unit compared to other alternatives though.
