im intrested once you see how a working protype runs

 

It's already developed and already works guys. Pay attention.

This is their Supercharger Kit, that they already sell, with a different supercharger on it than it normally comes with.

 

No i mean wastegate. A bypass from the high end to the low end of the supercharger shunting all pressure over 5LBS. A larger pully would work, but I'll take whatever they have on the chargers already.



DMDicks: dont superchargers ALWAYS produce boost? I mean, if they don't, then they're impeding air-flow right? Unless there's a new design, the air has to pass through the interlocking blades or corkscrew in order to make it to the manifold. Or is there a reason this supercharge was discontinued?

 

^^ Oo I didn't think of using something like that.

As for the unichip, I found a place that uses it ~2 hours away from me, so I'd just haul it down there on a flat bed if I needed to. cool.gif

 

Yes and no. Yes the supercharger rotors are always spinning because they are connected to the crank shaft via a belt. No it won't always produce positive manifold pressure because of how you regulate the air getting to the rotors. Less air to the rotors = less pressure. This is what a bypass valve does. It allows air to bypass the rotor entrance and go directly to the cylinder head. Something that also limits pressure is the throttle body butterfly. If this is mostly closed then that limits how much air the rotors can suck in. Make sense? The bypass valve is just more effecient because it allows air to go directly to the manifold instead of having to go through the rotor pack. The main benefit of the bypass valve is economy and emissions. The bypass valve allows today's economy driven ECU's to do what they do best under low load conditions.
The reason why the M62 was discontinued was because Magnuson redesigned it into the MP62 which has an internal bypass valve. It was mainly for packaging reasons. Due to the redesign though a little power was lost and the M62 will actually outperform the MP62.

 

The rotors don't stop spinning because the TB is closed. you gain either a vacuum which will break the TB or it opens the TB. Otherwise the extra air will be transferred from the high side to the low side of the supercharger through the bypass wastegate. So what you're saying is the bypass is completely open when the TB is closed?



Bottom line up-front, there's interest, what price can you give us Dicks?

 

Bump, how is this project so far? Got any test vehicles yet for the other kit? This kit would be really nice to have!

 

Yep, Im still very interested. keep us updated and let us know the price!

 

Count my vote in, Im interested still. lol

 

Any word on pricing yet?
