no real update other then to say that Richard is using the SC on some big block cars and has vowed to finish this project. He needs to focus on other pending (**cough cough money making **cough cough**) projects before he returns to this guy.

I knew it had something to do with the oil metering system! Even if all that stuff about the atmospheric bypass and whatnot makes me go a little cross-eyed. I thought Fred said in another thread (jesus, what a tongue-twister) that the location of the oil contacting the rotors promotes carbon lock and apex seal failure, and more oil needs to hit the center of the seal and less on the sides. That certainly goes along with his comment about the 13B-MSP rotors being wider than previous 13B's.

Back on freq, what Richard really needs to do is make a bigger blower and he'd be fine. If he sized it for a 2.6l and not a 1.3l he'd have a lot easier time of it.

Latham supercharger sounds much better than Axial Flow supercharger. What do you think ?

Really do wonder what this thing would sound like in combination with the rotary. Gl with the research/process, can't wait to see it in action!

You would think with cross drilled blades it would deafen (is that a word?) dogs as you passed by!

Huh? Turbo I have on now (still with the CAT): 5 PSI at 2500
14 by 4K.

Can AFSC do that?

Nothing wrong with running a high flow CAT with a turbo on a DD car if it is placed far enough from the motor for the exhaust to cool off.

All the dimples do is make it stealth so you will avoid military radar.
The drilled holes allow any dirt entering the compressor to flow through into the engine without damaging the blades. It's known as FOD prevention. Used on all new aircraft since 2002.

+1 ^
In addition it allows the fractured blade fragments flow freely into the engine without damaging other blades.
