would this supercharger work with after market intakes? I have the umnitza intake right now, and I think it would look sick beacuse it's carbonfiber so it would go good with the carbon pieces on the supercharger.

Could you shorten the carbon fibre intake plenum...and get it close to the stock position so we could use a modified Revi intake??

Sorry Dannobre, I've got it as short as I can. We have a mold made for a new part to replace the accordian rubber stock coupler. This will let us put a better aircleaner on. It still will not be short enough to use the stock box. The current thought is to build a box around an aircleaner but it has to be shorter then stock.

Without the acoustic effect of the box there will be more noise then we want.
We want it to sound stock. I know it looks like it is aimed there but it will not work out.

Yes I have been driving it around putting miles on it.
The other news is that we are going with the Intercepter X at least on this car. Scott will be coming out here in three weeks and will work with us to tune his unit and develop maps for the AFSC. We will dyno it at that time and change pulleys after we get some experiance.

The thrills never stop coming from now on.

If someone picks me up at the airport and can put me up for a night, I'll try to get out there for that. Flying only costs me $25 roundtrip.

Why? Did you mess yourself, or was it just your forward blow-off valve functioning?

Hehehe.

Maybe I'm jealous cause no-one shot their load when I posted pics of the MoTeC on the '8.

Cheers,
Hymee.

You guys are funny. Richard is the expert with his unit. Scott is the expert with the ecu and tuning it. I would be nothing more than a very interested spectator with a camera.

Hey Richard, when the mechanical side of this little project is done, you'll need to spend ten minutes on the lathe to carve out a rotary style pulley for the jigger........

The rotor could be offset to make it look like it was spinning with the engine's rotors.

I reckon you should just apply a sticker to the side of the blower...

How about an option to have the intake come out of the top of the Unit so we can make a hood scoop like the white supercharged mazdaspeed 8?

well in English its a measure for mixing alcoholic beverages also known as a shot

1 jigger = 1 shot = 1.5 fluid ounces = 44.3602945 milliliters

jigger is also the name of the cup used to do the measuring-

single jigger



double jigger




I have no idea what it is in Australian

i believe it is akin to "doo-hickey" in US english

now that i think about about it, probably a shortened version of "thing-a-ma-jigger"
