Anybody know anything about these? I was reading that the Koenigsegg uses one and they are the latest and greatest. I am curious if they would work well on a NSX.
Rotex Superchargers???
- Thread starter NetViper
- Start date
Any links to information?
I believe they are a centrifugal blower with a self contained oil supply.
HKS use Rotrex for the 350Z supercharger Kit.
This is what HKS states
The HKS Rotrex Supercharger Kits are the latest in forced induction systems for the aftermarket. The centrifugal type supercharger features a unique traction drive, with a closed oil circulation system. The traction drive utilizes fixed ratio planetary rollers that are more efficient then traditional gear-wheels. Because the planetary rollers do not have teeth like traditional gear-wheels noise is decreased and reliability is increased.

You're right! I had forgot. What are the chances we would ever see this used for a NSX aplication though? The real problem for the NSX does not stem from the type of FI, but the abiliy of the engine to handle such FI. Regardless, it sounds like a tight system.
It would be cool if HKS finally did our cars justice, don't you think?

They sound like a better version of the Paxton NOVI 2000. If they are good enough for the koenigsegg, they are good enough for the NSX
Maybe HKS will come through for us. Of course, there would still be a lot of engine management issues.
The things I like in that description are:
1) less noise
2) better reliability
Sounds like a winner!
The Rotex is a very nice unit we have installed a few on some 350s, I wouldn’t hold my breath for HKS to make a kit for the NSX though. There really shouldn’t be any engine management issues as they have the F-Con V-Pro.
Looks like Oscar Jackson is back (after a 3 year non-compete with Moss Motors who bought Jackson Racing)....
Rotex for the Honda Fit and S2000... maybe for the NSX since Comptech is out and if there is enough lobbying. :wink: :wink:
