Centrifugal Supercharging, a Cosworth DFX?

[Roy928tt]

So I've finally got a pile of DFX parts on their way, and I had just presumed I would fit it up with a pair of turbos but then I got to thinking about weight and etc. and centrifugal superchargers....

I guess you've joined the Rennlist 928 forum, the deepest knowledge pool ever.

Ah! we need a link to Deep Purple's Perfect Strangers video, apparently 928's were the rock muso's car of choice?

[Roy928tt]

Bwahaha, so I took the hillclimb car to Boostworx heartbreaker dyno today......all I can say is that it made more power at the end of the session than at the start......in the meantime the nopix rings...

[Roy928tt]

FTFY...

Congratulations!

Best value car I've ever owned.

That's an impressive collection of vehicles....

There we go the new racecar trailer, yesterday's purchase, a 5:1 winch can be seen on the drivers side of the A frame. I had wondered whether I could lift the car up by simply pushing down on the axle...

For better or worse I spent some time today grafting a Toyota Yaris electric power steering unit into the steering column of the Manta, I'm not quite happy with it just yet and I haven't heard from Ben...

LOL Some interesting notes from Cosworth DFX manual

"The turbo exhaust is 4" O Diam. minimum"

"engine must not be allowed to idle under 2,000 r.p.m."...

I'm sure Guenther and Gene are well aware of the state of play. I'm sure they would like to be further up the standings but they are not failing like Williams....

[Roy928tt]

Alonso to Renault, that's got failure written all over it.

Sainz to Ferrari, quite some sense there.

Kimi, I suspect he owns a fair chunk of Alfa F1 and is happy to drive still....

WOO HOO !! Fully Stoked !!

Ian just sent me all of the information one could ever need.

Really restores my faith in people, they just keep delivering for me this week.

In order to get the hillclimber back onto the dyno I've been working on a pair of hub adaptors, from centrelock to 5 x 114.3. the reason for this is tyres. One shouldn't dyno on speedway Hoosiers and...

[Roy928tt]

Yes I had contemplated seeing if Ben had a couple of spares for the Manta but ran out of enthusiasm.

This afternoon a customer called saying his forklift wouldn't start...so I swung past...

[Roy928tt]

Of course, because we are in South Australia, there is barely 2 degrees of separation.

I had promised images of The Manta at work, fortunately John Lemm was in attendance on sunday resulting in much finer images than I could produce.

Karien, at the wheel of her motorkhana special,...

LOL

Easing into breaking driveshafts again......do you pay Matt to change them?

I'm very glad that Ben came up with an eminently plausible fault, damn he is good.

[Roy928tt]

After ruminating over this conundrum overnight and into the morning, nothing was gelling, it just wasn't making sense.

So, what ya gonna do? Ring Ben.

Explain the symptoms...
