As a GEN2R owner, I can tell you that opening is definitely bigger than the GEN2R to accommodate a larger TB. You can see that from the final shot.
Eaton tvs 2650!!!

Does the housing look larger in diameter to yo guys? It definitely doesn't appear to be any longer than the current housing.
If that thing is going to take larger rotors, i expected it to be bigger.
Strange.

Looks taller to me and that almost looks like the KB168 flange, but who knows.
It definitely looks a little taller to me, but it's somewhat hard to judge the size with no other point of reference in the video.
It definitely looks taller to me too. I don't think that will clear the crossbar or do they all not clear? Judging by size of the rotor pack openings it looks more like a 3.4 Whipple just shorter.

From what I know, the Eaton 2650 TVS rotor pack diameter is slightly bigger than the 2.3 TVS - but not by alot. That's why the rapid prototype housing shown in the picture is taller (slightly bigger) because the centerline of the rotor packs move up by few mm when compare to the 2.3 TVS housing.
Looks like the KB bolt pattern is the same as the Ford GT, guessing thats what pattern they have gone with. If thats the case that just makes the blower that much better.
I'm curious about the twist in the rotor pack. Does that mean that it hits harder because it gets up to speed quicker? Also how much are we leaving on the table because it takes less hp to turn?
I'm hoping for 800hp with perfect manners. You can get that out of a 2.3 , but perfect street manners is easier said than done.

Lots of unknowns here, but we've always wondered if the 2.3 cases could be bored out for the 2650 rotor packs. Pretty sure Edelbrock said their existing 2.3 cases can accommodate the bigger rotor packs.
KB did that with the 3.2 from their 2.8 case.
I have an unused KB168 or does that mean VMP can make a Trinity 78+ Twin blade TB?
All I know is that my 960rwhp Gen2R 5.8 is ready to put the 2650 to the test. Maybe peak psi can carry through redline; this blower would add 100rwhp if it can.
Hopefully I can get an early unit and show what this can do on a maxed Gen 2R combo.
BJ I'll be hitting the track Sat.
Forget dyno numbers let's see passes with replacing the 2R with the 2650 same day at the strip!
Very excited to see this finally coming together, great job VMP!

Nah, whipple 3.4 if you cant wait, though i suspect a whipple 4.0l might be on par if this 2.7 is al lits chalked up to be
Yep.. cant find any discounts anywhere on the KB line of blowers so... we wait!
LMAO yea ok. Might be on par with the Gen 3 2.9.
If you were buying a 800whp capable lower for the first time, what would you spend your money on today?
