I know a 6-71 displaces 411 cid & an 8-71 around 436.29.

Hey guys anyone know the Displacement of a 10&12&14-71 Roots Blower Question

Anyone have the old Weiand technical data sheet on this Question

According to your numbers 25.29cid per size increase above a 671. The big jump is from a 4 to a 6 but then after that every increment is the same amount of size increase. So a 1471 is 4 sizes larger than a 671 so take 4x 25.29 and you get an additional 101.16cid.

I always thought 71 was cubes for 1 cyl. so 4x71 would feeda 264 cid engine & a 10x71 would feed a 710 cid engine

While 671 stands for 6 cylinders that displace 71 cubic inches the blower is not that size exactly. It doesn't necessarily run at the same speed as the engine which being a 2 cycle would in theory intake and exhaust it's displacement with every rotation of the crankshaft.

Dave I'll admit I'am blower dummy..I have often thought about how the ratio works..But havent had anyone with any knowledge expain in to me.. I was always under the impression...that say a 6-71 Blower would handle an air exchange of 426 ci.. divide that by 2 and thats 213ci for filling and exhaust of the cylinder ? Boy am I learning different from an old drag racers tale...

But then isnt there always the smaller hubs to put on the blower drive to make more boost ? making the smaller blower more efficient ? Thus pumping out more charge per revelution ?

Roots Blowers Displacement Empty What I Was Told

Post  511Fox April 19th 2010, 11:37 am

A source on the other site gave me the following chart.

6-71 is 411
8-71 is 436
10-71 is 469
12-71 is 497
14-71 is 522

A 10-71 looks like a good choice for a street/ strip engine of 472-500+ CID.

It's probably too big for a street 475 incher. You have to remember that a four cycle engine only pulls in 1/2 of it's displacement per revolution. An 871 just one to one or slightly overdriven would probably be a better choice.

Think that is not correct from what I know about it.

The number 71 is reffering to the 71 series detroit engines that the superchargers were used on. The first number is for the number of cilinders on each engine in these series.

4-71 is a 4 cilinder
6-71 is a 6 cilinder
8-71 is a 8 cilnder
and so on....
each step in size is 1" more rotorlenght

6-71 = 6 x 71 = 426 cui
8-71 = 8 x 71 = 568 cui
and so on.

If you spin the 6-71 up like you were talking to make more boost, you will make way to much heat! Run a larger blower, use the VOLUME it will produce and keep the temps down...

Is how it works for the Detroit Diesel ENGINE displacement but it's NOT how it works with the blower displacement. For instance a 1271 is NOT 2X a 671 blower even though it would be engine displacement wise.

Roots Blowers Displacement Empty more on blower size

Post  blown473 May 24th 2010, 9:01 pm

Keep in mind the bigger the blower the more power it eats to turn it, a 871 is plenty for most, a 1071 for the 575 and up motors. Too small a blower and you have to spin it so fast it heats the air, so unless you have a big intercooler (think Lightining/Shelby/Cobra) you must size carefully.

I think Dave is assuming everyone remembers that the old Detroit diesels where 2 strokes not 4 strokes. Ole scream'n demons!

I remember them days, I worked in the parts department for western branch diesel then, they built and sold Detroit Diesel's.
