Smile Do you like Eaton blower whine? Come in...

To listen to the whine & watch the speedo needle on my blown homo hooptie move super slow. Pack a lunch, it's not a Hellcat!

Love it. Reminds me of my Jackson Racing Integra GSR back in the day.

The sound of a Blower is very cool, I always loved it since I was a kid hot rodding back in the day. And your car seems to scoot pretty good.

Had a B&M blower on my pro-street Blazer. One of my favorite sounds. People would tell me they could hear it in their cars as I ran them down.

I have an Eaton blower on my Porsche 993. It sounds very good especially in the higher gears at higher rpm’s. Although, will never sound as sweet as an 8-71 blower with a huge lope 😄

I’ve had the Eaton blower on my 1995 993 for about 13 years now. It came from TPC Superchargers (Baltimore, Maryland) and has a liquid to air intercooler. Good for 300whp along with a lightened flywheel.

I think you have a black 993 which I’ve seen in a post or two of yours. Very nice!

Shut the front door! I love my 993, a dream car for me, the idea of a bit more power is interesting......any issues with it?

No, not really. It’s not highly tunable, meaning both fuel and timing, but it’s been reliable for the last 15,000 miles.

I think there are probably better supercharger options now for the 993 than the TPC kit, though.

TPC has the kit for $10K US, that's like $8 million Canadian......I'm not sure my bride would go for it, but a guy can dream.

Well, I'm supposed to pick up my new Hellcat today so I will have even more blower whine in the stable.
