Richard are your packaging issues with the blower of the "project" engine the fact that it the blower needs to be too large in diameter or too long in length? If it just needs to be longer, how about doing a side exit similar to the inlet layout?

 

The "big" problem stems from wanting to run it at Bonniville which is 4300 Ft Elv.
That's about a 15% loss. To make up for that I'd like another stage. That makes the unit .700 longer. There isn't enough room there now to make the turn.
Also since this is competition and we can run 100+ fuel I'd like to see 52-55 in hg absolute.
But that much pressure will want for an aftercooler and there is even less room for that.
I do have both problems solved, in my head anyway.

 

COOL, very COOL.

So what kind of car do you want to put this in for Bonneville and what class?

 

A yellow one, that I drive everyday. I don't care what class. I'm only doing it so we can show that you can drive it everyday then to the salt flats, go 175 and drive home.

The Rx8!!!!! what the hell are working with here?

Now go to sleep.

 

the king is dead.

the yellow one lives!!!!!

i'm trying to break the 200mph mark with my commuter car

 

hey rp,

could you pm your ups shipping address, i have a box to send to you..

beers

 

OK, but no explosives.
Not that I'm against you having fun, but you might hurt the dog.

 

Swoope, is it under pressure

 

not under pressure... and would never do anything bad to torque... i know what happened when he went missing...

in my world everyone wins...

beers

 

If I sent a box, it would require a bottle opener

 

no,

now stop this... richard how many more minutes????

beers

 

Until what? I PM'd you at 6:43
Did I miss something?

 

no trying to get back on the afs.. how many minutes till it is done... or throw us a video or make cool sounds....

3500 miles till my warranty is gone...

beers

 

Maybe I should send bubbly then...

there's no way they're talkin about the same RP.......!!!!!

 

This thread is now 2 years old. I've read parts of the thread, but don't have the time to read all of it.

Any chance you can edit your first post with updates? That would keep everyone in the loop.

I'm interested in hearing how this is coming along, if the target price from 2004 still stands, and an ETA on it's release.

Thanks

 

its running in the car for the past 2 weeks or so. pics ar e a few pics back. richard is moving his shop to a new location,

 

Richard.. I have got to add this to your site...

 

Yes they are.
Same guy, I've noted about it before but there is no impact like pictures.
In fact I took three of the pictures shown on that black page.

 

Go ahead but there are some wrong statments in there. The main one is that there is no supercharger on that engine. That engine was only fot testing the car. The real engine was over 700 HP and has been seen on this thread before. It is the one on the engine stand with the Sc and one GM T/B and one side open without the T/B. The engine in the car is still built from very good parts. It has full dry sump, Summers Bros gear drive and main caps. NASCAR rods, Brodex heads, and all the rest of the good parts.

I put the gear drive in it to give it a Euro sound.
The car is geared for 200 MPH at 7600RPM

For me to drive the car I had to take the car cover and fold it up to sit on.

 

Wilt claimed to have slept with almost 20,000 women over his lifetime. Seeing this car, I now understand how he achieved those numbers.

Add the axial flow supercharger and he could have hit 30K easy.

 

...

That is one badass car!
