Finally found the picture of that and it might work. Have you the part number? Oh ya is it 3.75 inlet dia? Can I get one that size.
I know look for their website.

Now that takes the cake. I didn't get any rum offer, I only got a beer offer.
That means Hymee wins this round, but not the war.
And Hymee, Mines bigger around.

Looks really good, Richard.
The more I look at the pics, the easier I think it looks like this would be to install. Is there still going to be a tap into the oil system for the SC?

RP how did you do your CF work?
Plug/Vacuum bag process
OR
Did you go to another company to accomplish the CF tube and interface?
If you did go to an outside company who did you go with I would like to contact them for some other projects I am working on.

The SC looks pretty funny... I looks really big, but I guess it's because the pics are so zoomed in.
I wonder how strong the coils are? Is it an HEI system? How hard would it be to make aftermarket coils?
Just curious, that's all.
Someday, when I have my RX-8, I will probably get this package. I know it was mentioned in here somewhere, but I can't remember where, so I will ask again. Is the boost going to be more like a screw, or will it be a bit more like a centrifugal? Just curious... Thanks!

It's actually quite small. It's not much larger than the alternator. It's just slightly longer. A few of us got to play with one out at Sevenstock last year. It's pretty light too. If you could see it next to any other types of supercahrgers out there, you'd realize how really small it actually is.
The coils should be fine for the power levels this kit is going to produce.
The boost curve is theoretically linear with rpm but Richard has gone in and changed the efficiency at certain areas to change that a little bit. It would probably be best described as having a boost profile that is between a positive displacement and a centrifugal. With a higher efficiency, it should make more power at any level of boost though. Hopefully we'll find out in the near future.

i know im supposed to be looking at the CF( which is very nice , of course) but i cant help noticing the machining done to the top of the intake volute
ver nice Richard.
ver nice Richard.
