"Just thought I would give you guys some ideas. I have shipped out both low boost and high boost Rotrex systems to Oscar from my company, TTS. To cut down his design time over your way. We have set up an agreement between us to mutually benefit customers world wide. The problem with the RSX you all know, thats the power steering pump. If you junk the aircon pump you can have Rotrex kits right away. I hope Oscar will be looking into getting round the steering pump problem, I don't have enough enquiries over here. Below is a dyno shoot out last Saturday, independantly testing customers cars. Note that the high boost Rotrex conversion was the most powerful (14lb boost, 93 oct but with meth/water injection) 440 bhp. the next was a stealth (Rotrex in place of aircon pump) low boost kit with no intercooler giving 8.8lb boost, made 330 bhp. Note the Jackson conversion was an almost identical 9lb boost set up, yet gave 48 bhp and 30lb torque less than the Rotrex. I hope Oscar makes a kit for you guys. If you don't want aircon you can have one almost immediately. Have fun "

I don't know anything technical about boost whatsoever, but...that mateo guy who is popular in the supercharger threads, says this about the jackson racing rotrex kit that will be coming out in the same thread...
"Just got off the phone w/Oscar J. This new kit is going to be no joke.
I'm getting a ear full of ideas..."

440 brake hp, on 8.8 intercooled lbs of boost ain't bad is it?
Oscar Jackson has this to say on his website, I'm sure you've read it:
"My new Supercharger systems are based off of a brand new, patented, Rotrex supercharger. This new supercharger combines the throttle response of the Roots supercharger with the compressor efficiency of a turbo, but without the lag."

Oh, and on wikipedia, brake hp is defined as--
Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engine's horsepower without the loss in power caused by the gearbox, generator, differential, water pump and other auxiliaries. Thus the prefix "brake" refers to where the power is measured: at the engine's output shaft, as on an engine dynamometer. The actual horsepower delivered to the driving wheels is less. An engine would have to be retested to obtain a rating in another system. The term "brake" refers to the use of a band brake to measure torque during the test (which is multiplied by the engine speed in revs/sec and the circumference of the band to give the power).
