BLITZ Compressor kit
Well I figured information would trickle this way from the other forum, but it didnt.
Anyway BLITZ has a compressor kit made, not making much in the way of power, actually less then the Trust Turbo kit, but still in research stages more info to come, but I thought you guys might be interested to know.

HP is only at 210, they are still working bugs and tunning.
RE-Amemiya says the computer is pain to put the turbo kit in. I mean to make it work is easy, to make it work correctly and good is a pain. I havent talking to BLITZ directly and I can get some pics later today, or call them direct and see if I can come see them and get some pics
No prices as i said its still in testing phase, but you can buy anything if you have the right connetions, so I will ask.

Yeah that is pretty nice huh?
210hp is pretty low, but Im not judging it too much yet since they just put it in. Im thinking it might be more safe though then the Turbo that trust made at this stage.
I didnt see any companies running out to turbo charge the FC when it came out N/A, yes I know they made a Turbo version too, but it takes time. Its not going to be found over night.
Anyway, it looks good and Im just passing the info, we are usually in close contact with these companies, we can call and ask ANY questions at any company anytime.

Very clean install. When is more info going to be available, and how much boost is it capable of?
And pardon my ignorance here, but what is a "compressor" as opposed to a supercharger or turbocharger? I always thought it was just another name for the same thing.
One more thing... WHAT Trust Turbo kit??? Last I heard they were working on one, but no one has any info. You sound like it's a done deal. Can you elaborate?
Thanks...

Turbo kit---Willl be offically released says the word at the AUTO SALON via Trust and RE-Amemiya.
Compressor--I will get some more info since in this article they were only comparing the the power and driving between the turboed RX8 and the Compressor RX8
What is a compressor, hummm like a supercharger here is a pic.

That Blitz picture is of a roots type of supercharger commonly known as a "blower". It is not a compressor. A blower does not compress the air. A screw type of positive displacement supercharger like a Whipple or Lysholm supercharger is a compressor. A centrifugal supercharger such as those from Paxton, Vortec, Powerdyne, etc. are also compressors. Turbos are also compressors. The only supercharger out there that that is not a compressor and they name it that! That is also only a 2 lobe roots blower. More modern designs from Eaton have 3 lobes per blower rotor and are also twisted for less whine and greater efficiency. That is an old school design there and the least efficient way of any other option out there including even other roots blowers. I would like to see an intercooled Whipple based supercharger kit. That would be worth buying!
