v1 or v9 supercharger ???? need info!!!

[USOPHUNKE]

noah has both and asked me which I would want...

I would like to here everyones opinion on this please,,,

I told him v1 for now but doing some reading it sounds like the v9 build boost a bit quicker...??? that make sense???

A V9-F will spin to 65000 rpms and provide 800 cfms, where a V1 will spin to 50,000 rpms and provide 1000 cfms.

from deckmans post about his chargers.

Not sure what trims they can get or how well this will display, but here is the info from their site. Based on this info I would be ordering the V-1 no questions asked.

Supercharger ___Gearcase____Max Speed____Max Boost____Max Flow____Max Power____Peak Eff___Inlet OD___Outlet OD
V-9 F-Trim______HD/Std______52000 RPM_____13.5 PSI_____750 CFM_____550 HP_______72%______3.5"_______2.5"
V-9 G-Trim______HD/Std______52000 RPM_____14 PSI______825 CFM_____600 HP_______74%_____3.625"______2.5"
V-1 SCi-Trim_______HD_______58000 RPM_____ 21 PSI_____1050 CFM_____725 HP______75%______3.5"_______2.75"
V-1 Si-Trim________HD_______55000 RPM_____26 PSI______1150 CFM_____775 HP______78%______3.5"______2.75"

I will tell you now... avoid the V9. Go with a V1 or V2. The V9's supposedly build boost a little quicker, but they need smaller pullies to get the boost levels the larger blowers hit... this KILLS the bearings as they aren't rated for the RPM's you'd then be seeing. Plus, belt slip is a major issue w/ smaller pullies... tightening the belt to compensate then causes added wear on the bearings and even more pre-mature failure. PLUS, the V1 & V2 have a much greater CFM capacity. The boost is only one part of the equation... the volume of air flowing is a major factor that most people overlook. 1,200 CFM capacity is going to net you more power even at lower boost levels.

oh, and as Shawn pointed out, the V9 F-trim won't spin to 65k rpm... unless you spend some hard cash on better bearings... but you won't get to that rpm w/o belt slip... and the cycle continues. Of course you could spring for the $1,300 cogged belt set-up (http://shop.verdictmotorsports.com/product.sc?productId=94&categoryId=22)!

If you've read anything about the vortechs, you've seen all the blown-up V9's... just avoid it b/c I know you... you'll keep trying to get more out of it... and it'll be a headache.

Maybe you should consider a pro-charger?!

yaeh I asked noah all the same questions and he basicly told me the same thing you just did... so I am going with the v1. told him I would give him a deposit and wait till he is ready to pull it. which should be soon.

[car_whore]

nice. i've always wanted to see one of the V-4's on a built VR they sound insane and make huge power. There is a mustang guy down here that has one on his street car and the thing sounds ridiculous

[USOPHUNKE]

I am going to get this then save up for the cogged setup... 1300 bucks... ouch but so sick.


see now my mind is flipping and I am happy...

if the dumbass with the laguna would call me back I would be flying to cali... I think he is flaking on our deal

[Jackalope]

Is this the same color? Never seen this before...http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=4355935 oh and it's FS on Tex.

[USOPHUNKE]

yeah I have already talked to him about that car. bringing it to ny is a pita. I would need to bring it into vt then ny. not worth it to me...

the color is not the same but rhd is sick and would be mega props here....
