Hi all, I know all of us ‘purchasers’ and believers in Hymee’s kit are getting quite frustrated with the amount of time it has taken. Believe me, Hymee is frustrated as well.
Since I am in close proximity I tend to be in contact with him quite a bit so I get a pretty good idea of his state of mind! And he understands all of our frustrations. All dates given so far have been “correct” to the best of the available information at the time. All of the delays have been for very legitimate reasons, with the first big delay being those special gears he had cut in Italy. Once the kits went into full ‘production’ a few things were improved upon. Things such as a modified intake plenum cover, which is even better then the one I put on my race car – in an attempt to make fitment easier. This was a far amount CAD work, and lots of 3D machining time (= slow) to produce the required quantities.
Another recent improvement was the relocation of the oil filter to a place where it will be easier to service, as it proved essentially impossible to get at it mounted in its original place. Even little things like that take time, as at one stage Hymee was just going to use a Speco remote adaptor, but the quality of the component for the money paid was not up to the quality of the rest of the kit.
I know all of these things are going to make the kits even better, and I also know Hymee would have preferred to get them finished earlier. However, as I work in a similiar industry, I have a real appreciation for the time and effort it takes into designing, testing and manufacturing a quality set of parts that will stand out above the rest of the market.
One last thing… I was speaking to Hymee today, and he said that the kits are close to shipping, the custom shipping cartons have been designed, and a pre-production sample has been delivered to ensure correct fitment etc!!!
Cheers,
Danny

So you already have a kit on your race car ? How about some feedback on it ?

It's good to hear of Hymee's progress. Any updates from your project and how the bigger blower is working?
Hi Brettus and Aerohead, the blower kit fitted up very well and looks great!
Unfortunately, my work commitments have severely hindered progress on the race car and it's still some time away from hitting the track. Will definitely be next year though.
You can keep tabs on the race car progress here Renesis NC.
Cheers,
Danny

Could the Aluminum Intake Plenum be bought individually, for use without the Supercharger.

dude---hope this can be a helpful suggestion.
the oil dipstick will be difficult to get to after the install.......i think. it is on the Pettit kit.
In America the master cylinder and the abs system is on the drivers side which crowds things.
All i did was to bend the curled yellow part of the oem one and then added a crome extension. It helped.
Where does the supercharger vent run too and what kind of by pass valve is used?
Also it looks like you will have a remote oil filler tube? If you do make it as straight as possible and as open as possible or it will take a LONG time to put oil in.
Keeping crankcase vaccum with the oil catch can?
Remember also with a remote oil filter--again in america the passenger side spot has a good spot to mount one. Close to the ww tank. Mount it hanging down --not up for obvious reasons. But do keep away from the header LOl! If the ww tank is removed and the remote filter is mounted in that area then it's perfect.
Beatiful set up mate---beatiful.

Not long now, you can just about smell them. And you know what they say... 'If you can smell it, you just about have it licked'
Should get some more photo's tomorrow. TB harness extenders done. I/C tubing done. How about black annodized tubing? Super Stealth!
Cheers,
Hymee.
Loving the super stealth look...and you know what they also say..."once you've had black you'll never go back"
Haha, my local mechanic is a young bloke and LOVES my car (a nice change from Corollas and Commodores he reckons). He's going to crap himself the next time he opens the bonnet (I'm going to surprise him)...
Promise!

Super Stealth!
