Been following this thread for a year or so. I check in evey couple of months. Looks like its time to subscribe for the updates. RP, you sure have put in the R & D. I'm interested. Can't wait to see what you finally come up with to offer. Thank you for all your hard work.

What will really amaze people, I think, is how tiny the axial-flow unit actually is.
It really makes for a compact installation.

Hey Rotary God.. I did get to see it in person, well not the whole unit just the internals ha ha, sad to say I did not ask any technical questions when I was there “limited knowledge of that stuf”...But I am damm well sure getting it.
Hmmmm...hey RP....did I mention a new home for you SC...
I Should get my car back in Hmmm " not sure how long they will take to put my 4 rotor engine in....." J/K

This is not an understatement. Doesn't get HOT like those Turbo's.
Looks cool, runs cool.

Plus, anything that generates pressure makes some heat - the axial just doesn't make much heat because it isn't working very hard in this application.
Turbos don't present a real heat issue until you place then right next to something that doesn't like to be heated. Even then, it can be mitigated to an extent by thermal control counter-measures like wrap, coating and shielding.
Mounting one near the exhaust manifold (like my setup and the GReddy kit) does nothing measurable to the under-hood temps in normal operating circumstances.

There's alot to be seen in this picture. The new volute is obvious but what else is there?
The official introduction will be at Seven Stock in Oct.
