I got me a 4-port ECU (i.e. from an auto), for development of the tuning side of things. Lots more to this than just bolting up a blower

Nice to hear my AT will finally have the kind of horsepower I was looking for someday. I'm keeping a close eye out for this and the pettit kit.

Hymee, have u think about this.
in a lot of asia country, climate is hot, malaysia, singapore, thailand, philipine, indonesia.
to have a turbo and supercharge relatively means u need to get better cooling system.
wanna do some research in a tropical resort in the borneo?
PM me, i got an auto 8 type E.
located at north borneo.

No worries, Hymee is playing it safe with heat issues. The manufacturer of these chargers says there isn't a need for an intercooler, but Hymee is going to have an intercooler and front mount radiatior anyway.

Basically, you should be ok. He's thinking this stuff out carefully.

They say an Intercooler helps the V-8's get more HP, so it sounds like a plan for the Rotary,,,can't wait.

OK. I guess you have waited long enough :D How about this for an update?....

I am on the cusp of making some major announcements regarding some new products. This also affects (in a very positive manner) the development of the supercharger project. A massive amount of R&D is happening at the moment, hence my rather infrequent postings on here.

I have been toying with the idea of starting a blog, and you all can hook into that to get regular updates on the progress of stuff, as well as a garanteed good read Please let me know if y'all reckon this blog is a good idea. I've burned a bit of time setting something up, and just stumbling over a new DB architecture I need to use. Won't be long...

I'll I can say at the moment is that the patience of the RX-8 community will be rewarded

Cheers,
Hymee.

Yeah, a blog would be great. This charger is #1 on my list, but it won't stay that way without a sense of the progress being made. It's a good way to make sure everyone knows about all the progress you're making, and to maintain interest.

Of course. Time spent on the charger > time spent on the blog.

Still though, it was interesting reading how PDA was formed. I look forward to reading more

Well, after looking at some of the numbers for pettit's blower, I'm not impressed. Hymee, if you can get the auto in the 220-230whp range (or more - more is always better) you have my money. I know pettit's numbers will be better with their larger blower, but I doubt it will be good enough to satisfy me. I got the impression you were going for bigger numbers than them - hope that's the case!

I found one of Hymee's orginal threads about a S/C and if he's aiming for the same thing we are game for good boost in HP. That and he has a test engine(s) as apposed to Pettit which from reading I guess they only used a test car (I could be wrong but its my impressiong from reading a few of the last pages of the thread.). Now Hymee get your *** in gear hahaha I need to know how much money I need to start saving
