Sir Mr. Hymee --
Since my relocation to your fine city, I'd consider it my privilege to assist, like turning on motors & handing wrenches just to feel the air boost blowing through my hair.
Make us all proud at SSX, and like the rest look quite forward to the press release.
This is awesome history in the making.....

And a little Aussie lesson for you... Over "here" we don't call them wrenches, wees call 'em spanners. A wrench is one of the things a plumber uses on pipe fittings.
Cheers,
Hymee.

Hello Steward,
I am very hooked about your superchercher kit.
Videos, pictures, torque and power are great!
Do you think that your kit is reliable enogh for the German Autobahn?
If yes please take my order in advance.
I am looking forward to anoy some Porsches and Ferraris.
What do you think, which top speed can be reached.
BTW: If you want I can send you my car for left hand drive installation.
Best regards
Michael

Mark,
I figure it the best place to ask the (hopefully not to stupid) question, but having seen the pics posted by Razz1 above, where is the throttle body? Is it there but I just cant see it? Is it replaced by something else under the all that shinny metal? I cant see it on the "the other" SC either.
Cheers
Andrew

Ohhh, that is SICK looking (in a GOOD way). Wish I could have made it to SSX, was packing up to go when the wife called saying our Durango was broken down. Turns out the water pump seized. 2 afternoons later it's running, but I miss SSX

exactly how big is the SC itself? Looks huge compared to the AFSC and pettit. is it heavy? sorry if it's been talked about before, but I've read through all of the AFSC thread in the past, so catching up to another long thread isnt on the top of my list of things I want to do lol. All looks good, might think about one when/if I have the money.

It is mounted on the FRONT of the blower. Almost directly behind the stock MAF tube. :D
It is DBW as well. And larger bore. That is the big scoop. Another first for Hymee. Just not quite finished the day before I left for SSX.
Cheers,
Hymee.

Big compared to the Pettit one? I don't know how that could be! In actual fact, it is smaller as the new billet timing cover for the reversed drive is not as "thick" as the standard cast one retained on the Pettit.
Is it heavy? How much weight would you put up with to be able to get instant boost of 10 to 13 or 14 PSI at any RPM? The blower is less than 15kg. All the other components are billet CNC'ed Aluminium, except for the layshaft, which is chromoly (chromium-molybdenum steel). There are two steel idler pullies, and two hard anodized aluminum Peterson pullies. And of course all the hardware (note the quality socket head cap screws everywhere). Plus the braided oil line with the Speedflow dash 10 alloy fittings.
Cheers,
Hymee.
