i believe you have said this is where you will take oil for your SC. i assume we cant just keep stacking things on top of each other there. will your oil tap double as a presure sensor maybe?

I'm gonna check the price of that.

i second that (and drop the clutch when you make max torque..not at red line (so about 5k - 5250k rpm

Anybody actually heard the Axial Flow? Richard? I leafed through the thread but may have missed this. Just curious as to the sound and how it compares to a turbo or twin screw unit?
From the street, or from the passenger seat, what will the sound be like?

On the test bench it sounds like a small jet engine revving up. With a throttlebody and intake manifold hooked up to it, you'll be really hard pressed to hear it at all.

Just some info I posted in another thread... just thought it might be of interest for RP as I recall several conversations about MAF vs MAP and ECU behavior. This info is about the new Mustang's ECU... which is different, however, it and the RX-8'S ECU seem to behave similarly and considering that Ford and Mazda engineers regularly work together there is probably some value to looking at this info as well.

We have the flanges machined for the manifold and got the bends the other day.
We just have to make a swedge tool to form the manifold oval shape. Then build the manifold. That is coming along well.
We have the new rear volute made and the stages for the final design(front inlet).
The other parts are drawn and will be machined soon. The only part that needs to be made outside is the center shaft which must be center ground.
The nose and gearset are a carryover so they are ready.
The intake to throttlebody will have to be designed after it is in the car.
That will probably wind up a casting, but we will see.
Just finished a run of Rx8 shifters and the first batch of S2k shifters, so some machine time is opening up.
