Almost been a month since an update....I'm dyin here!

Hymee 03-21-2006 04:13 PM

I'm going to pick up a new discharge adaptor this morning, made from carbon fibre. Pics will be posted ASAP.

Cheers,

Wow Hymee, that came out so nice! Perfect :D:

edit: I though about this and a statement came to mind that fits this part so well. This is a very nice example of classical beauty combined with romantic beauty. (Those terms are defined in "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance".) This is typically found in places like formula 1 cars and such. Again, great job there, Hymee!

So whats the lastest :) ?

JOHNRX8 03-30-2006 01:16 PM

Hymee, were you able to mount your new discharge adaptor? I would love to see how it looks in the car!

Hymee 03-30-2006 07:41 PM

It will be tested on the engine dyno before it goes in the car :)

Cheers,
Hymee.

SomeGuy_sg 04-03-2006 03:09 PM

Take Pics and videos :P please ..hehe.. :D
I know that you are using a M800 for your 8. Are there any plans to use your supercharger kit with other standalones like Emanage or Interceptor ? Oh and If i do get an M4 to use with the supercharger, what kind of options would i need to get with the M4 ?

Great work , Hymee :)

If you go back through the pages, there are heaps of pics, and a number of videos.

I guess I can't force people to use a specific tuning solution, only recommend and support what I know works.

An M800 is a little over spec'd for what we are using it for. We just have one available. A lower spec unit would do, but I just not sure if an M4 is enough - I'd have to check.

Cheers,
Hymee.

Considering the price difference between the models, I would ensure you offer a base option using only what you need. Form there you can always use the optional features in the higher models at a higher price.

I dindnt read all 1186 posts, but can anybody inform me as to the hp and torque projections of this supercharger?

When is it suppose to come out?

You mean 1185 posts yours was post 1186. The horsepower has not been stated yet as it is still in R & D.

Correct me if I am wrong Hymee but I think the projected numbers are between 60 and 100 additional horsepower.

Hymee 04-23-2006 03:10 PM

As posted on a seperate thread, here are some pics from last friday where I spent some time swar-ing in the Renesis engine on a stand to bolt up with an engine dyno...

https://www.rx8club.com/attachment.p...id=75235&stc=1

We need to spend some time hooking the MoTeC up to that motor, and a few other things, and we should be able to run the motor in the workshop.

When we have got to that point, we can take it all back out to the engine dyno facility, and bolt her up and start doing some tests. By the end of that testing, we will know just how much power/torque the combo is capable of at what RPMs.

Cheers,
Hymee.

Midnight Wankeler 04-23-2006 03:25 PM

nice setup! very admirable

sorry to ask again, but how much boost is this SC making?

Hymee 04-23-2006 04:40 PM

One of the video's posted earlier showed 13PSI boost as soon as the throttle was opened at low RPM, staying pretty constant to the top end, just dropping a little.

Hymee 04-23-2006 06:57 PM

Correct, probably not the thread for it.

But you did say that is "the best car I have ever owned" So why not keep it? How much MPG you want? How many dollars per week will that save you? And then you mightn't have the "best you have owned"...

Cheers,
Hymee.

Hymee 04-23-2006 07:21 PM

OK. Yep, all good. Lets take it to another / new thread.

Cheers,
Hymee.

SlayerRX8 05-08-2006 04:22 PM

How are things going, Hymee? It's been awhile since the last update. Can't wait to see the twin screw in action!

Hymee 05-09-2006 02:33 PM

Well, I had some surgery last week, and the doc gave me 2 weeks off. Hope to get the baseline dyno's done within the next few days, and the forced induction dynos done next week.
