anyone remember the post about univeral toyota SC kits?
There was a post a few days ago about a company that had Supercharger kits for the 1uz. Does anyone remember the name of the company?

Whipple uses Eaton components these days and they're essentially the same design, aren't they? Twin screw, just like Magnuson (also uses Eaton parts and is an authorized Eaton rebuilder). I have nothing against Whipple at all, just wondering why it's better. Thanks for the info.

Pretty sure you wont find any Eaton parts in a Whipple, and what parts would they use anyway. Rotor designs are totally different, cases are not the same, snouts are not interchangeable.
Eaton blowers push the air around the outside of the rotors into the manifold.
Whipple or Opcon/Lyhsolm blowers compress the air and force it between the rotors, more efficient.
I have nothing against the Eaton, just comparing the price for the Bullet kit and what I paid for the Whipple kit from a different supplier.

I had forgotten where I read it but just found it:

Additionally, in 1998 Eaton Corporation obtained license from Lysholm to build screw compressors. Eaton has shared much of their technology pertaining to building reliable and efficient automotive superchargers with Lysholm. As a result, Lysholms (Whipples) now use Eaton bearings, shafts, and gears.
