You guys got to stop going on about twinscrews. Your making me want to bring mine back from the dead and get it back in action.

I'd like to pull the 2300AX off and upgrade to the new W140AX and run it up to about 12-14 psi. The first thing I'd have to do is pull Andy's old manifold and remake it at the machine shop. I believe that was his second s/c after his initial go with the eaton. Then he pulled the whipple and went to the autorotor.

Personally the system I'd like to follow up on is Richards' (blau928) build. Anybody know if he finished it??

I wonder if they are still selling the autorotors? I'll try emailing them.

"May 1, 2007
Dear Valued Customer:

In December 2005, we began the implementation of a plan to streamline several of the business units within the Opcon AB family. The move of the Opcon Incorporated office to Michigan has been successful and we were able to offset price increases for many of our aftermarket products. Unfortunately, the American automotive business climate continues to deteriorate. In February 2007, the Opcon AB Board of Directors elected to initiate another phase of change resulting in the decision to close Opcon Incorporated effective July 1, 2007.

Please forward all inquires, purchase orders and Request for Quotes (RFQ) to the appropriate subsidiary contact listed below:

Lysholm Technologies AB, Sweden
www.lysholm.se
Product: Lysholm and OA-Style Compressors, Extensions, Pulleys & Support Components"
Confusing isn't it? The products are still around. Kenne Bell still uses Autorotor. Opcon seems to have headed off into fuel cell compressors with the Autorotor name. Lysholm has some models that sure look like Autorotor now (billet cases)

Looks like Magnusson has released their aftermarket Eaton TVS. They list the 1900 and 2300 on their site. They made 950chp on a Chevy motor with the 2300 @ 15psi. http://www.magnusonproducts.com/

Thanks for the update, that's an impressive blower system. If it can make that kind of power on a
2 valve per/cyl mtr, it could really do well on our 4 valve per/cyl mtr's . I think someone should try
one of these on a 928 mtr, my guess is it would surpass the currently used ones.

Looks like it would fit fine on my pizza box manifold.

That's my guess too. 950CHP -15% for drive train loss is 807.5RWHP. Has anyone made 807.5RWHP with a supercharged 928? Or with any other modification for that matter? Has anyone come within 200 hp of that? What was the boost level?

Looks like it would fit fine on my pizza box manifold.
Looks like it would bolt right to a flat surface from the drawings. http://www.magnusonproducts.com/mp23006thgen.htm
