Ported Roe

Joe got the insert plate onto the flow bench. He worked the template over until it his work showed no sign of improvement. He is happy with the results, so I should be ecstatic. Now the design is off to the milling machine to be made into final form.

What did he do to it:dontknow: You got some pictures? Did he port the blower also:dontknow: How much boost you going to run?
 
Roe doesn't use the plates in the intake anymore they have a plate under the SC. I have talked to Sean & Joe and am drilling more ports in it. The intake will only flow so much air. 10 to 12 PSI is probably the most boost you can run any more and the intake will limit the HP gain.
 
What is the difference in the intake design he is using now? Does anyone have pics? Mine had two plates that slide into position. I will be going with forged internals soon and wanted to increase the boost to 14 or 15 pounds.
 
I had my plates removed. It made cylinder #10 pig rich. Required very careful tuning, including road testing with short trips (5-8 miles) and then removing all the plugs for inspection after each trip. This was with a 1.75 upper pulley and stock lower. The combination of removing the plates, high flow hogged out heads, cometic head gaskets, equal length long tubes and high flow cats seems to outflow (if that is the proper way of describing the phenomenon:dontknow: ) the boost at 10-12 lbs. I am waiting for an overdrive pulley that is currently being custom made (my third try:mad:). Total boost should be somewhere around 15-16 lbs. If my truck does not break 800 hp with these modifications, then the current generation of the Roe blower is not capable of making 800 hp on our trucks period.

John, where you been man:p I thought you were doing turbos?:dontknow: So you were still stuck at 700rwhp?:dontknow: I was thinking about making the slots bigger and tapering them on mine. What exactly do you have done to your heads??

No I think the lack of an intercooler is actually the limiting factor above 12 psi:D
 
Anyone have pics of Sean's revised design? Maybe we should call Sean and inquire.

I had the Roe up for sale for a while but could'nt find any buyers ;), turbos are too european for me anyway. I bought the heads that FstJack advertised for sale about 18 months ago that were done by Indy Cylinder Heads. I lost the spec sheet. I also thought about just making the slots bigger, then I thought why have the plates at all. They are not on the kit that goes on the GenII cars. Roe said gas mileage would suffer and it would be difficult to tune without the plates. He was certainly correct about the tuning part.

urapeein:p

bloody hell mate!:marchmellow: :marchmellow:

I know one thing, not as much as the turbo. fo sho. Hined sight twenty twenty and 1 year later. I would have gone turbo rather than SC.

Marty quit HO-ing my thread up:p

If I am lucky enough for most of motor to be good from what you told me earlier:dontknow: I will be going turbo:rock: I don't think the Roe will be an issue to sell:D
 
can you put a turbo in front of the Roe...kind of what they do for a FGT?
or do you need to use a whipple for that?
