It does look neat

I have an idea - have a 3D Hymee logo at the front of the blower --- it will give an artistic look and a lot of publicity at motor shows!

Thought you might all be interested in some of product integration... I added support today to sCANalyser for Hymee's SC

What's the difference you ask... well, with this option, we anticipate a little more air flow. Who knows if the stock IAT/MAF sensor is up to the task... but I thought I'd have a little fun in the meantime

He's probably too focused on shipping sCANalyser to beta testers

You need to describe when a turbo is better than a supercharger rather than just making a very false blanket statement that "assumes" always. Give it your best shot and I'll help unconfuse you.

A turbo is better because it looks prettier. Especially the green ones.

I like that about the fitting. Keeps it looking stock. Stealth mode. Keep up the good work. So how's that list going?

LOL good point! That would really be cool if you could STILL open the hood for somebody and STILL get that "where's the engine?" response. Hehe

If we have to put it in the washer position, then it will be an opposite hand sort of thing. It would be good if it would just fit between the blower and the manifold. But them's the challenges I guess.

Hymee
Took the liberty and posted for our forum name and address to be included in the SPEED 'S CAR club directory . they responded with this message .

Hi Michael,

Yeah, was actually on your forum last week trying to dig up some info and leads on the Blitz's supercharged RX8s that one of our journos drove in Japan. No problems adding your site to our magazine. We're always on the lookout for cool modified RX8s (esp Aussie ones, but we've got contributors all over the world). If you know of any that might make good Speed features, can you maybe forward me some forum links where I might find pics and info?

Cheers,

With recieving that message from SPEED MAGAZINE I have given them the thread relating to your Dr Phil and Hymee Twin Screw Supercharger Project , this should get you guys moving and ready by March :p :D I hope .

cheers
michael

Wildcard if your car gets featured with the Hymee Twin Screw Supercharger in the Speed magazine , they should give you more than free subscription , maybe a T-shirt

cheers

1. In theory it could, given an appropriate intake manifold and tuning. In practice we would have to see. Immediate plans are to get it running on the 6-port.

2. No. I don't even know myself. It is not complete yet, and our driver is quality & function.

Cheers,
Hymee.
