Supercharger or Turbo?
#122
I'd rather a traditionnal charge cooled supercharger. I think the RSC sc could have been a great upgrade with proper production ( integral cast inlet & manifold) past the prototype iteration.

Who do this job ? Nice combustion chambers...

Some recent pictures of same
Nothing to do with me, given to me by someone that saw engine at event in England

I have a time frame for resolving some things with the owner that we have agreed will be the end of this month. Depending upon how that pans out, we will then be able to finish up the tuning work, and assess the viability of the kit commercially. I will probably discuss that here to get some perspective from owners & prospective buyers.

Yes. The issues that were stopping progress were resolved. We need to finish the tuning, hopefully the roads will be clear and swept here in a couple of months.

We've had about a week of 10+ Degree temps - that's about mid-50's for our American Friends
I think the road sweepers should be out soon, or if we have a good hard rain we will be able to get the car on the road and finish up our software.
You ready to send your car to Canada???

is any video clip of This car running

Yes, there are lots of clips, on our instagram, and I believe that we posted several in this thread. We have some preliminary dyno tests as well.
That said, after our most recent dyno session about 3 weeks ago, we decided to can this particular design. We can finish the tuning and get it running but even with ceramic and heat wrap this design was just generating too much heat in critical areas of the engine bay and as much as it pained me (both in my heart and my wallet), we realized we would be polishing a turd. The employee we had who designed the kit was, in retrospect, not the right person to do this.
Now that Chris (irish007) is with us full time, we are going to rip it out and start from scratch. He has a few ideas for some stuff that will be easier to manage from a heat point of view.
