tubby 0 Posted July 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 There is a place in scotland that sells them called gmc motorsport also which seem to be a better a site in denmark called www.r-techs.dk i have contacted someone there already and they say they sell all neccessary parts to make a kit for the vr and most importantly the mounting bracket if you choose to visit the site its only in danish but the chap i spoke to can answer all questions in english via there e-mail.this looks like the best supercharger solution to date.and who knows group buys may be a possibility if enough are interested.virgin Link to post Share on other sites

tubby 0 Posted July 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 No problem dude will do got to be a great product if they use two of these chargers in the fastest production car in the world.IE THE http://www.koenigsegg.se/ Link to post Share on other sites
FishWick 21 Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Until the Rotrex kit for the VR6 is proven, reliable and cost effective, I'm sticking with Vortech.Every company in the motor industry claims to have the best product in the world, so do your research before buying into it.That rotrex is neat though I have to say!

tubby 0 Posted July 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 It`s not a kit as such but more like custom where you buy the charger type specific to how much power you want and then buy all the parts you need to make up that kit . On the point of reliability you cant seriously expect the manufacturers of the koniwhatsit to not have done a lot of research into the product and also i think the fact that an independant car manufacturer chose rotrex over all others on the market must be testiment to the confidence in this particular brand.Have a read up on it im sure you will bwe impressed.virgin..

RIX 0 Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 they should be very good now,but back in the day they had major probs,with them lasting,the output shaft was too long and brok,but as fare as i know the warrenty is good they all got new chargers within the garenti.havend heard much abut probs theese days,it´s been maybe 6 years or so since then,they where all the rave back in the 1990 the where put in every thing here in dk,mostly insted off the G-kompressor in the g60,and wee have alot off kits for mrk.2-3 1.8-1.8GTI,16V,and acouple off 1.6,the stage one price is 26000DKR thats roughly 2400poundsthats abit more then the votech kit.

antera309 3 Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 Awesome. The mounting position of that charger is, if anything, better than that of the Vortech/Z-Eng kits - it's right at the front of the engine where it gets blasted with lots of cold air... Just like on a G60.So how much does the kit cost then? Link to post Share on other sites

So when you live in the UK and can install it yourself, maybe it will be alot cheaper But with that price, you should get a propper turbo kit, that we all know are abit more trustfull than the Rotrex charger?
