i really wish tye had got back to me. i had alot of research i was going thru on maf variances etc that i thoguth soemone there might want to help out with since there's a couple of thousand car owner s here that might be able to use a product from them.

Relevant thread info update: Richard's new yellow mobile supercharger test bench has arrived!

Sounds like RP and Dana are getting ready to show some stuff to a visitor

Cheers,

We're hiding everything of interest from one particular visitor!!!!! :D
Then we are getting him drunk and putting on a plane as baggage.

Bugger!

Sorry guys not to hijack this thread but....

Richard ,
Could you please check in on the S2ki.com thread about the AFSC.
We miss you :D
There have been some questions poised. I have attempted to relay appropriate info form this thread and/or attempted to answer the S2000 guys questions to the best of my abilities.
I would hate to misrepresent the AFCS or your good name.

Use the force, Richard. The forces on the dark side are very strong

I have visited the thread and saw your comments. I didn't post as I thought you did a fine job. I will go there now and pay my social dues. I can tell them we are almost ready with our test bench but that is all the news fit to print.

Hey Richard, I found that book you mentioned on the other forum, it looks like they are back in print and offered by their own site. http://www.ricardo.com/ricardoStore/...ion=1&P_ID=149

That's good info. I'll check it out. If it's the right publication I recomend it to anyone interested in internal combustion engines. Spark or compression ignition. Even sleave valve engines.

Richard Paul

Ok, I've ordered the new publication and when it arrives I'll scan it into my brain and let you know if it's the good stuff that you need to know. I'm sure it is but damned if I want to recomend a book that expensive and it not be worth anything to you guys. I'll take the risk for you.
It will probably take two or more weeks to get here from Limeyland by third class book courier.

Hymee, I've been using the dark side for so long now that my wife and kids have long ago split for the other side. But old habits die hard and I can't seem to shake it.
Does this mean we can get along or not?? Is it best that we stay on our own side of the world?
You do remember old westerns where someone would say "this town isn't big enough for the both of us" And they'd have to shoot it out.
I've an extra single action Colt here you can borrow. If your faster then me you get to keep it, cos I'll be at the big racetrack in sky.

We just got the blower dyno spinning today. So who shows up? Hymee.
I caught him trying to sneek peeks at things. Here's a picture of him looking at secret detals of our blower. Then I caught him snaping photos of our computer screen while drawings were up. Don't know how much he got but I was gone long enough to steal one of his Cat Back exhausts from his rent a car.

Oh well tit for tat.

I can't get these damn pictures to fit so someone else will do it and post them.

Then the worst thing of all he lost my dog. I spent most of the day looking for him while Hymee was back at my shop studying computer engineering drawings.
Sneakybastard, how he thought that up I don't know.
Dog is still missing. Now I'm lonely without my dog Torque. Hymee's on a plane back to Australia with a big smile on his face. :D

RogueRX8

And apparently a new dog!!

LOL

RP. Do you want me to create an area for you to host them on my server?

Does this mean that you're almost there RP??

I'm umming and ahhing about which direction I should go.. twin screw or AF...
Twin screwing always sounds appealing :D but AF sounds very exotic

Granatelli Motorsports has been around quite a long time in the domestic world... I had one of their replacement MAF's on an LS1 f-body I used to own... No bullshit 10hp at the wheels peak increase... but then again it was replacing GM parts...

I'm hoping we get to hear some positive news about the AFSC soon! I'm getting my 8 within the next month or 2 and as soon as I've gotten suspension and breaking taken care of some sort of FI is getting popped on!

Here are the pics of Richard's supercharger on the mobile dyno. In one of the shots you can see Hymee skulking with a camera.....

Cheers,

I completly forgot. Hymee bought a big new suitcase before he left and when he was leaving the little wheels on it were cambered in so bad he was worried they might fail. Hymee before you unload that bag take some pictures of the wheels. If their still on that is.

THIS IS NO JOKE, THIS REALLY HAPPENED. On top of that I had to give him some Tyraps to get a strap back on another bag where the D ring failed.
He was packing some real weight. It never occured to me to check for Torque in there.

Is that all you got? There really was a couple of Hymee sneeking peeks.

Gomez

I got one more.....a close up of Hymee with a silly grin on his face. I want to save it for the purposes of blackmail......if that's okay with you!

I'm confused as to what exactly I'm looking at...

You're hooking the renesis up to that? Or is it just a flow bench to measure the SC?

Please excuse my lack of engineering background...

Hymee

It is the sized engine required to spin the S/C... j/k

It is his test stand. It is a variable speed "drive" to spin the blower. Then he can attach all his instrumentation and measure the characteritics at all RPMs to determine it's exact behaviour.

I got some pics to. Mez' - post the one of the exhaust on the s/c Just hide my ugly face

Cheers,
Hymee.

I know it looks out of scale but the drive is so we can run bigger blowers later on. But it should give you an idea how much HP it takes to turn a blower.

The thing is that this test bench can run for hours on end non stop. It has water cooling for the gearbox if needed. The hoses and componants are to duplicate the oil system of the car. There is a tank, pump, filter and bypass.

The brackets and SC itself look insignificant compared to the motor and drive. But that is nessasary so there is variable speed drive that can be changed while running. Otherwise you would have to change pulleys each time you wanted to test another speed. There are two output shafts one low and one high speed. The low we use for the oil pump and the high for the blower. The high speed goes from 5000 RPM to 11000 RPM. So we can drive it with the same ratio as it will be in the car.

There are no instrements on it yet. That's this weeks work. We will know flow, pressure, speed, temp delta and more. Later we will pivot the blower bracket so we can hook it up with a strain gauge and know torque.

Thanks Hymee... I guess I got confused when he put the word 'dyno' in there...

Glad to see that things are starting to coalesce... here's hoping RP has a useable product soon!
