Hmm... I noticed from the first set of video's to the last set that the set up of the S/C has changed alot. That and you've noticed that the S/C heats up the cat ALOT. I'm sure its been discussed in your other M/T thread but have you addressed this yet? or was this durring one of your "Run it till it breaks" kinda runs haha.

The Red car had the first prototype on which was low boost and non-intercooled. This was just to proove basic operation and that we had adequate engine management in place. That proved a sucess. This car had standard exhaust headers and cat.
The Silver car, the second prototype had a bigger blower and an intercooler, but was the same configuration otherwise. We even used the same intake manifold, although with a section "chopped out" when the intercooler was plumbed in. The cat that got "red hot" was not stock, and was sitting on the back of a set of custom headers. This cat/exhaust header combo is still in use today.
You might also not the initial runs on the red car used a toothed belt, but that proved a failure. The poly-V belt fixed those issues.

I just meant videos of the 4 port running at SS9! I bet the gains are surprisingly good!

The ending of the movie is Dom driving away with his brand new S/C Rx-8.. with strippers in each of the 3 remaining seats
Ok now seriously.... (I notice with any thread we side track ourselves haha)...I've noticed with the 6 port S/C it to a point looks pretty much complete in terms of build. Now if I'm assuming this to be correct is the only thing holding you back is cracking the ECU (aparently this thing is harder to crack than the pentagon's pc's!). Also how side tracked do you get with the S/C R&D? I know or have a feeling you have other projects in the works and if so what are they! lol..

OK fella's, here is an update of sorts...
I have paid for my air fares, thanks in part to RP. Nice one.
I will be bringing a 4-port version of my kit, in "as close to production form" as possible given the time frame. I won't get a chance to install it on a car or tune it.
If someone has a 4-port engine that I can mount it on for display purposes, could you please let me know, so I don't have to bring ours! Even if it was pretty bare.
I can probably bring a 6-port kit as well, but I'll leave that discussion for the other thread. I just don't know how many extra kg's I can take!!!
Looking forward to seeing y'all there at SevenStock :D

Hymee.

Well Hymee, you've definitely gotten over a major hurdle in getting the 4 port version to Sevenstock. It's too bad it won't be installed/tuned, but obviously you have a lot to do in a very small time frame.
Good luck promoting the charger, and tell us if RG snores.

Yeah - would love be able to install one and tune it etc, but that is just far to risky at this stage. I would rather have the high quality componentty on show along with the results of the engine dyno work we are doing at the moment on the 6-port) under my belt.
There is something else I'll be bringing to SS9 as well. $10 a peek. I have to pay for my air fares somehow!! Perverts need not be bothered!!!

Too bad about not getting the 4 port SC on a car, but great work Hymee. No perverts, give Hymee $10 bucks. When SS9 is all over, we need him to get home and start producing those SC kits.
