Does anyone want a brand new APS kit? I would love to have this instead of cutting the car up and dealing with oiling issues with the turbos... Please GOD let the come to fruition...
How much boost will the stock 2.8 be pushing? I wont have my forged motor for a few months after I go FI and dont want to have to sell the smaller blower when I do have a forged block. Could you throw a big pulley on it to keep boost low and not pop the stock block?
That 1 phone call, that I made to you at 3am my time was to discuss the possibilities of turning the blower around. Your design by your OWN admission was faulted, and wouldnt work..
After I spoke to Jim B, as well as your financial partner, it was obvious your project was goin no-where FAST.. As a matter of fact, your financial partners EXACT words were. "He came to my shop with a bunch of boxes, and asked if I could help him sort it out." Your lower manifold was scrapped, and needed a COMPLETE re-design. You couldnt keep from snapping rotor bolts cause you neglected to factor in the friction drive system. Not to mention KB REFUSED to sell you ANY blowers cause we new you had a flawed system, and didnt want their product drug through the mud..
I was not at liberty to discuss our propriatary information. Our design was COMPLETED when I spoke to you. NOTHING except a higher flowing inlet manifold has been changed.
Although I wish you luck on your project, please do not muddy the waters, making people think YOU had anything to do with this..
Our meeting was scrapped by the owners of KB, not me. They wanted NOTHING to do with your design, and still dont.
Sorry if this comes offas harsh, but we've got 6 figures into molds, cad design, mockups, and man hours. I dont want ANYONE thinking its anyone elses concept but our own..

We have a new heat exchanger that I just got in today. Its a 3 core design, that holds a sh!t load of coolant..
We have also developed a launch controller for the system. Its a piggy back to the BOV, but it allows you to specifically dial in when you want the boost to come on. So for those of you guys who not spray (nitrous type of guys) out of the hole, or wait until you hook, this allows you to set it for a PERFECT launch.. It's set for RPM and/or Gear based, but 100% adjustable in 50rpm increments..
Our next little task, is to figure out an actual adjustable wastegate, that will allow you you actually use an EBC with the system..
BOTH of these setups are additions to the standard system. But the launch controller will have a sub 300.00 retail pricetag..
BTW, This is for the roadracers....How would you guys like a SMALL blower, sayyy 2.1-2.3, with a dual intercooler system with 2 seperate cooling circuits. If we run a roadracing style blower, it'll limit you to around 500rwhp, but will give you a damn near perfectly level torque curve,and allow you to spin to 7500+. With the seperate cooling circuits, it (should in theory) keep your IAT's in check for extended 20-30min sessions.
We've already got the blower and manifold machined for testing, I just wasn't sure if i would be something that was desireable. Pricing would bo no different..
But think about it...Our TINY blower is still larger than maggies biggest blower.Hmmmmmmm
Oh, one last thing..we worked
Suggestions???This is open mic, so please let you "Constructive" suggestions be announced..
I see no problems with snout flex in this picture..
This is for you psycopaths that have the desire to run 25psi..
Welcome the 2.8HH Magnesium rotor'd s/c, with 1" thick t-6061 billet CNC'd plate, double independent bearings, and a tensioner off of a kenworth tractor...Belt slip...BulllllllShiiiiittttt
MUUHHAAAHHHAAAHHA.........
