Good pics. Sorry I couldn't post them. I've been doin the Easter thing all weekend and I've only been checking one of my 2 gmail accts, not the one richard likes to email, lol.
I've updated him with the appropriate account, hehe.
Good to see this is still moving.
Richard,
Any news on engine management?

We don't think we need one on a street setup. We use efficiency instead.
Engine managment? Hopefully use a flash in production, we will use a stand alone for the prototype.

Out of curiosity, what would be a theoretical horsepower gain that might be achieved with one of these on an 8? Not something set in stone, but I'm just wondering what the power difference would be when it's all said and done from say a twin-screw, or centrifugal compressor.

Man, this looks very simple to maintain. All I need is a spare drive belt! On the suction side of the blower, are you going to pipe the inlet thru the front clip opening where the existing intake pulls air from?

Wow , a custom flash for the supercharger. Mm..knowing that all cars are not created equal. You would still need fine tuning to get it to optimised. About the standalone, will you be pushing that out too at a later date ? May be even a harness spacer so you don't have to chop up your original harness after you added on standalone .
Would love to hear how you wired in the motec to run with the OEM PCM
may be you can pm me about it ..hehe.. :P

You can take what my mate Hymee says to the bank.
The cars are very near equal contrary to popular opinion.
I have it on authority that random Rx8 engines put out 215-220 HP
on the engine dyno. That's damn close. Close enough so a common map
can work. The factory thinks so anyway. Or else they couldn't produce it.
Can you optimize the last 2% out of it? Maybe, but I doubt it. That 2% is more likely in the internals. And for a mass produced engine you can't expect any better.
50 years ago there was probably 10% delta, or more. For sure in the british engines.

weird i thought i posted a remark about flashes working perfectly fine - your giving the car a new set of instructions and the pcm is able to adapt enough to take away nearly all the vriances from car to car like small differences in injectors etc. etc etc
apparently i didnt click "post reply" correctly. well if you search my posts on this subject you find more remarks about this.

Hey Richard, I was just wondering, since you can make AF compressors, have you ever added a combustion chamber and an exhaust turbine and made a full, running, standalone jet engine? Sorry if it's been asked already but we're coming up on 200 pages and I have the attention span of a fruit fly.
