Title: another vac motor thread
Post by: Lewis Newby on February 15, 2015, 09:16:31 am

my main question is how is a 6.6 twin parralell better then a triple 5.7 system?

Readin through old threads with interest and taking the airflex as example.figures are rough from memory:

Turbo claims 305cfm 130"lift

Storm 275cfm 139" lift

Yet the storm is considered the top of the range?

I found a thread where john martin suggests an upgrade to a particular electro in the turbo giving a little more lift but 390cfms.

Am i missing something as the turbo with 3 vacs seems a better choice- possibly why the list price is more or less the same?

   The triple vac should have more performance i'd say  ,  when cleansmart brought out the storm as their flagship machine obviously they are going to give it a favorable performance review .
All Cleansmart have ever done in my opinion is used the  mostly false hype generated on cleantalk for the scorpion and jaguar and just copied the motor configuration  .... but gave the buyer a decent body , so they snatched up all the sales and laughed all way to bank .

You would need to test these things yourself to form a proper opinion ,  but three of the better electros should have good performance in a turbo alright .
I have an unused 6.6 , a conical electro , and a regular vac , i will put a lift gauge on them all and post pics whenever i get time to see if there much if any difference .

I have two Scorpions, but I did own a Jag and as we all know the Jag has two 6.6 motors as opposed to three 5.7s  imo having used both machines side by side, I thought the Jag had the edge and felt more powerfull, definitely at the wand anyway,  the only problem is that if a motor went down on the Jag the machine was rendered virtually useless,  which in my case was quite oftern, but having owned two Scorpions for a cconsiderable length of time I would always go for the tripple configuration as theyare far more reliable, I can honestly say that ive only replaced two vacume motors due to it failing in nearly nine years
