hampton blower 2 lobe

Has anyone heard about the 2 lobe 60deg twist blowers they say they are the shit an 8 they say puts out like a 14 with lower temps I think they were made for restricted classes

 

Probably the worst site ever. Good thing he has some nice blowers.

 

Two lobe blowers were out in the late 50's early 60's can't remember why nobody used them, :::::: Oh Ya, they didn't work!!

 

Yeah I think my 1982 P&H 20ton RT crane has a two lobe blower on it, a 4/71 I think, works great makes about 150 HP on a two stroke diesel. You have to kidding,Right?

 

I don't know why you people say things like his website is the worst ever or his blowers don't work.

This is taken directly from his website,

The New
HB Super II
Is Guarenteed to out-perform
Any other Supercharger
In its size...6-71.... 8-71.... 14-71

Well I guess if you want one thats guaranteed to be the best you had better shop elsewhere since his are guarenteed to be the best?

As far as his website goes maybe he should have had someone else write it that was less arrogant and had access to spellcheck.

I normally would not crack on someones website, and definatly not someone who is so old but when you are that old and that arrogant, " I am the guy I make the best"

If you wanted to compare the Hampton blower with BDS Mooney Littlefield or Holley there would be no comparison


What a prick

Hampton

I don't usually slam people like this but, I wanted to get in on this... I have a short story about Hampton. When I changed over to blowers back in 1990, I put in a call to Hampton first to inquire about his blowers. Guy wouldn't give me the time of day. Next call I made was to Littlefield, left a message, about 5 min later Mert Littlefield calls me and tells me he wants to sell me a blower,and will do anything he can to make that happen.

Never bolted anything to any motor I've ever owned but a Little. EVER

2 lobe

the old ones did not have the twist

 

i would love to see one of these 2 lobe deals. a friend of mine used to work for Kalitta, he told me that Hampton sent them a 2 lobe blower to try about 15 years ago. they put it on Connie's T/F car and did a burnout.....tore up alot of stuff because it made so much boost. as for the "if it were better someone would have it" comment.....i heard the same thing when Norm was messing around with that "screw charger thing"....you just never know.

 

Rich That's pretty funny
"the ones that brag are the ones that lag"
Maybe his blowers are good for lower horsepower apllications like street car stuff. Good for a crowd pleaser at local car shows. Now stop pickin on that old man and let him think he's "The man" poor guy reads this he might fall off his chair and break a hip.

 

So are you saying that the Kalitta's aren't smart enough to make that blower work?? if so then how would anyone else make it work??? maybe he should send one to ali wan kanoby, aka alin jhonson, if he can't make heads or tails of it nobody can! P?S nobody laught at Norm because the wippel was already out.

 

eli.....
i'm not saying anything like that......just said that they tried one a few years ago.....made alot of boost....tore up alot of stuff. my point is that they have been around a while. i never said anyone laughed at Norm........but you know there were a few doubters. it's like anything else.....anytime someone tries to innovate anything there will be people that like it, and dislike it. but that is the only way to get faster.....try new things....just my 2 cents

 

I always say if you aint thinkin, then your stinkin.

 

2 lobe

think about it like this there is more space to pack the air all of the old stuff was not twisted they are running them on several different motor sports and he will give names and numbers to call and they are not stripped at all monster trucks that are limited to an 8 and they say it puts out like a stripped 12 I have no proof I just talked with him on the phone

 

use some tact

What a tough bunch here. In defence of Don Hampton, go to his shop and meet the man. He'll take the time to show you around and answer all the questions you can ask.

Maybe some people here need to brush up on their telephone skills. It's a two way conversation.

And no, I don't run his supercharger on my car.

 

It's been almost 40 years since I've talked to Humpy but, from memory, he is/was a pretty good guy. Back in the day, both he and Bowers tried the straight two lobe rotors. AFAIK, they both gave up on the straight rotors...due to BAD pumping pulsation.

 

go try the two lobe

My name is Marty Wolfe, I am the owner of Wolfe Engines Inc. I am also the builder/driver of an American Power Boat Association Grand Prix Hydroplane. this year I switched over to the two lobe blower from my conventional three lobe stripped. this year we won the APBA summernationals for GP as well as the APBA high point National Championship. I am not sure what the complaint is, cause it sure worked for me. made more boost, made more torque, was able to change my fuel system due to a decrease in intake air temp. and I have the all of the data. seems to me like most of you haven't tried the blower. you can call me anytime. I will be happy to tell you how this works. And maybe getting to know don would be alot easier than bashing him on forum.

What did you have and what did you go to? exa. Had a Littlefield 8 HH @ 20% over and went to a 16" long 2 lobe Hampton 20% over.
