Axial Flow Supercharger

The Professor
Sorry this might be rediclously obvious. But, my car bogs after 6200 whenever its low on oil. You might try checking your oil level, if not drive it for a while and see if it consuming the adequate amount of oil for a rotary.
Just a thought.

I still think it's an auxillary port problem. It might not be though. The dyno plot just backs up my suspicion though. It seems to explain it this way. Who knows though. Maybe it could be something different. I still think it's real easy to check.

Got my car back, still the same. We are going another direction to get it solved.
I'll not comment untill we see how it turns out.
The hint is that there are some functions that do not give codes. Don't depend on codes unless they are emissions related. 'Nuff said, read between the lines.

Richard, was it checked at a Mazda dealer with the WDS?

The factory does not flash a code for locked closed only open.

We need more posts! Give us more pictures or something. Take a picture of the supercharger resting on the engine cover. Tease us a little! We are only about 23 or so posts away from regaining the lead over the Greddy thread. Come on. You can do it.

That picture reminds me of an airplane...
Nothing bumps the post count in this thread like a little aviation thread hijack. Unless it technical details of the AFS.
Just to keep it somewhat relevant, check out the fan blades on the latest engines from GE: http://www.geae.com/
Those sexy lines would look right at home in the engine bays of our RX-8, don't you think so Richard? Nothing a little CNC can't handle.

That's a cool site. Need a lot of time to go through it. But when veiwing the many engines I could have have my choice of I wonder what I could do with one. So I think I will take the engine from the M1a1 Abrams tank. I can't possably see myself ever getting a flying machine that I could use an areo engine in. But I think we could find a use for 1500 hp ground powerplant.
It's probably a lot less money then the Aero engines and GE will not think I'm greedy, so they will be happpy to send one over. :D

Actually, in my (apparently unsuccessful) attempt to remain somewhat on topic, what I was suggesting was that your AFS would have increase sex appeal if your blades had the funky curve in them like the latest GE engines for the 777 and 787.
But you would have to have to make the casing out of transparent aluminum so we could see them.

Leno's "Tank Car" was made from a very old WW2 era tank engine; a V-12 from an M-47 Patton. Quite a bit of difference between that and a modern turbine. He did race it against the M1A1 though.

Yes, I have always wanted some of that transparent aluminum. We know it is possable because "Scottie" spec'ed some out in Star Trek movie number ?
He made the tank that held the whales to save the earth out of it.
He had to go back in time to give the foundry the formula to produce it.

Isn't that stuff called Unobtanium . . . you know that super rigid, flexible, clear, opaque, dense, light, self sheilding, cunducting metal . . . that stuff is great.

That is a brand name from a company that is no longer in buisness. In order get some we need the industry standard number.

Tsk tsk. I catch up on the boards and sadly see how out of date some people are in regards to materials science.

Aluminum isn't the greatest material for making swords because of its ability to hold an edge, brittleness, etc.

Not to dampen the enthusiasum for this material, I'll wait for the rest of the spec's. Things like in what way is it stronger?? By mass? Aluminum can already be said to be that. By hardness? Bend resistance.
Tensile strength? Yield? Notch test? Elongation? fatique? Work hardening?
And a bunch of other things that define a matirial.
The other thing that they elude to, This is more ceramic then metal.
RG you are right, I forgot. They couldn't make the ali fast enough but he traded the formula in order to get the guy to do the plexiglass right away.
As another bonus, he was shocked that he could not talk to the computer, he had to type. See if that was only this many years later he could have just spoken to it.
