supercharger whine

[BirchMarauder]

Simple question, do you get more of the supercharger whine from a roots blower or from a vortech, paxton, procharger type?

[BruteForce]

Yes.

Smaller pulleys=More boost=More noise...

[BirchMarauder]

because i like the roots type but i want it to sound like a small jet engine. is that possible?

[superford3]

roots is only loud under acceleration and a centrifugal whines even at idle

[jdando]

This will give you an idea of what a stock Trilogy kit with K&N intake will sound like......

Trilogy 132 and the K&N sound awesome from inside the car.
Outside the car, heads snap like a dry twig in a tornado to see what's coming at them!
My Brother says he can hear it from over a mile away when I'm on the road home... he lives next door.


Mmmmmmmm...... boost!

[RCSignals]

You get more whine from a S/C with straight cut gears than one with helical cut gears

[MarauderMark]

Another S/ced thread:rolleyes: I thought this was going to be something else like for me i prefer a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot(yummy) with my Supercharger.:up:.

[Raudermaster]

IMO, I wonder if a Cogs kit would fit on a Marauder with a centri kit? Oh man, do I love that Cogs sound.

[RCSignals]

I thought Cogs made more of a clatter?

ProCharger has straight cut gears and makes a BUNCH of noise at idle!!:argue:

When I first started my car with the PC....I immediately shut it down and called Greg since it sounded like shaking a metal can full of marbles!!??:eek: Off idle it gets quieter.....loading the gears with blower resistance!!:cool:

It has a distinctive whine at idle......when driving I can't hear it in the car but others say it is there especially on hard acceleration!!:beer:

My Trilogy w/PHP CAI is practically silent until you get close to 0" of vacuum and begin the transition into boost.

[Drock96Marquis]

The Trilogy Eaton (roots M112) is quite when idle and cruising, but during hard acceleration it will emit a satisfying audible whine


A centrifugal is much louder, at idle and WOT.
If loads of that ultra-high pitch whine is what you're after, a centrifugal will be your best bet.

[RR|Suki]

Centri blowers are a good deal louder, at idle and at WOT. just rolling down the street makes quite a ruckus... for better or for worse, you tend to lose the sleeper effect with a centri blower

............not so sure the sleeper effect is truely a lost --actually, with all the fart cans and loud mufflers most of the idiots have lately next to ya they can't hear my whistle next to them---half of the time they don't even know the light turned green --listining to their noise makers---until they look up and see my tail lights going away from the light---wow--these folks are something--now a real racing car---yeah--you can tell when one of those beauties pull up along next to ya---it has a whole different sound if you been around cars at all --you know when and what your up against sometimes-----anyway--I'm not so sure the whistle is even "heard" most of the time--with low throttle---

[merc6]

So...procharger guys are experiencing this at idle?

vortechs might not be loud, but I'm running a Paxton Novi 2000 and it's seriously loud

[greggash]

Mine, with a Vortech sq is near silent at idle (Helical cut gears)
and is still a sleeper, the Hemi's get a surprise.

and the procharger has a nice "whistle" to let you know its there

other models make different noises

same thing with exhaust and Mufflers...etc

[jdenning002]

The novi 1200LS kit is just a nice clean whistle that is very suddle, it actually sounds like a jet just befor takeoff. I was worried about the noise because I have heard the vortec but I am very happy with the novi...

[Tom Doan]

Yeah mine whines " I want to go Reinharts". Tom

[RCSignals]

Yes.
