Was in the bible last month I believe.

[alfiestorm]

A session on the dyno will sort it, a shit load of good work gone into that

[latheboy]

Cool but id be worried about the belt slap, that needs to be fixed and its done....
Very nice id like to see a build thread or web page on that...

Yea, featured in Sf mag last month. These two vids were featured on the SFmag blog. I spent hours with Mark trying to figure out how he gets the rear wheel out. Eventually had to ask MDM for the answer.

Turbo and Supercharger also both work ....somehow?

[latheboy]

Easy Gix... Turbo pushes compressed (and intercooled) air into the supercharger that compresses it again.
The turbo would need to be able to flow alot of air to keep a good head of air ready for the supercharger tho.
It could have a priority breather for idle, i would have one so the supercharger isn't trying to suck all the way to the front of the turbo..

holy fuck

[Weaselman]

im guessing the supercharger is there to eliminate the turbo lag seeing as it looks like a fucking bug turbo

[hyofighter]

and you usually find that the turbo helps out the supercharger in the the top end of the revs where superchargers tend to nose over

[puppet]

VW make a car(Golf) that has both. The super charger for low rpm and the turbo when the revs get up, and has both power and economy.

That's fucking insane.. In the best way possible!

So Gix,
How do you get the rear wheel out?

[Gix11]

The pivot point is actually a hinge and pin set up, so when the pin is removed the arm opens out like a crab claw to leave a single sided swinarm set up. Pretty trick hey?
