G'day Mate!

 

RP... have you got this actually hooked up to a engine yet? Just wondering, I have been really interested in this thread and would like to actually hear some stats wether there good or bad.

PS... Also interested in how Hymee's implemenation is going also.

 

With respect to my friend Richard, I would prefer to answer that question in the relevant thread. My latest update is still current.

Cheers,
Hymee.

 

gettin low so....BUMP

 

I thought this was pretty entertaining..... if you want to know how Richards Super Charger is gonna work if you were a air molecule :D

PS... Ignore the combustion stage

 

Any updates or difficulties (we like hearing it all!) RP? Anyways, just trying to keep this thread on the first page at least.

Bump

 

OMG I'm on the second page. That never happened before. Give myself a shameless bump. So I better give an update. Both 4 and 5 stage RX blowers have been built and bench tested. Engine adaption is going on now. Still looking into the electronics problem.

It seems that the only solution at the moment is over $1000 wholesale. Also it seems that with the stock injectors there will be a limit at a point NYD.

Looks like I'm hearing not good things about the composite intake. Not sure that is all true but we might have been changing that anyway. I'm not fond of changing a lot on the intake. It seems I have more faith in the Mazda engineers then do others. I make note of all the trouble you run into just changing the air cleaner ducting.

Not that everyone in the forum didn't tell me so but the damn ECU is the big blocker in here. Just takes time and money. I dream of Webers and distributors nowdays instead of girls. Is life over for me?

Just bringing this back up a bit. I drool everytime I think of hearing this thing spinning.

 

c'mon, whatever happened to the entertaining (and educational!) Banter about jet engines and whatnot :P

 

Just think...if he isn't on this forum, what is he most likely doing?

Building us a kickass S/C. So instead of complaining, just punch your wall until FI comes out. (I think I'll need a new wall soon...)

 

I think everything to do with planes and the like has been discusses here, haha. It's always fun to read and learn about that kind of stuff, but it's also nice to have projects for this car being done too. Can't wait until everything is finished, and I hope all goes well with the ecu nonsense. Thanks Richard.

 

Oh, definately not a complaint. Wasn't asking Richard to come away from his work at all. Was more curious why everyone else got so quiet all of a sudden! Just playing around

 

alright... because its the weekend i think its worth a bump for an update?... optional of course.

 

What's the record at RX8Club.com for the longest thread? I don't think I have ever seen a thread this long.

 

It only has length because it is axial :D

Cheers,
Hymee.

 

Try the lounge... loooong threads in there...

 

I think relevance is important. Relevant AND long threads are cooler than long threads that go off on tangents (like, maybe, for example, a thread that was talking about axial flow supers that turns into a jet engine thread and then into a weekly "bump, what's up?" question thread . For example, see any of the RX-8 and my wife / GF threads in RX-8 multi-media and photo gallery. They always stay on topic.

</sarcasim>

 

I'm really getting fed up with no usefull news on this thread.

When was the last time any relevant information was Posted?? (axial flow supercharger information). A VERY long time ago. Jet engine and such stuff (although interesting) should be posted in the lounge. I am thinking lame attempt to keep us interested??... But this said, it is much better than a *bump* every week because somebody can't be bothered to post any results (or be bothered to do any further work?? ).

May I suggest either :

1. - Moderators bin this thread as it is becoming a farce (multiple pages of *bump* and no new info.).

Or

2. - It's moved to the lounge (which is where it belongs at the moment).

Or

3. - RP does something with this and posts something to keep this alive...

It's not worth taking up the space on this forum otherwise.......

 

i agree with your points but bumps are somewhat worth it to keep the thread alive on the "search new post" page

 

I have to disagree. If the thread is that important it should be made sticky and all of the irrelevant crap should be removed. This thread is just as bad as the CZ thread. It was nearly impossible to find the important details amongst all of the off topic posts. Just like it is a little uncalled for to sift through 51 pages of similar banter in this thread.

 

It would be really nice to have Richard start a new post.. however, from his past postings, he's said he's not much of a typist.. but yes, this thread in it's current form is almost entirely useless. I actually looked for it this morning to see what was going on and went thru 5 or 6 pages before I gave up

 

Patience young grasshopper. These things take time. Richard cannot, as far as I know, spend all of his time working on this thing, he has other projects as well. I am also pretty he doesn't spend all of his time on this. When you get home from work, do you
a) eat, drink, relax
or
b) work on whatever you did at work until you pass out and wake up for another day of work

Give the guy a break. Sure it's been a long time since an update, but there's not much to update. He's testing different things and working out kinks, these things take time. In my opinion this is not much different than the other FI systems in terms of length of the project, SSR worked on theirs forever. Just give Richard some time to finish everything up, he will update when an update is necesary. I also need you to know that his job does not entail keeping you entertained by giving you an update every day. If you want to see the project done, you'd rather him be off the computer and in the shop right?

Richard, whenever your next update may be, I hope to hear good things. Good luck with the rest of your project.

 

Richard posted information on 29th of october

2 weeks is not a VERY long time to me. you can and may continue to suggest that this thread be moved or altered as much as you want but it is going to stay right here. now if you start getting belligerent about it ill be forced to start deleting your's and anyone else's beligerent posts.

 

i have to disagree. jovial banter and the relationships that it has built along the way are the REASON this thread and Richard stick around. and the reason that we will have a great FI option when it is finished.
