Default It's Alive! Supercharger Pix

The supercharger came alive today. The sound.... oh what a sound! (If anyone can tell me how to make a sound file, I'll try to do it)

Becasue the shocks are not installed yet, I'll have to wait a few more days to drive it. As to the engine design, I am very pleased with the results.

I'll try to take a few more - and better - picutres tomorrow.

nice :-)

a mobile phone will never catch the sound (far too flat).
so you have to either record with a proper video camera. when you bring the film to computer you can export the audio.
I could tell you on how to do it.
the best and easy way to do it would be to bring:
laptop with proper microphe attached and make a sound recording.
or record with a proper microphone attached to a taperecorder or disc recorder and copy that to the computer ..

so how are you planning on recording this ?

Looks awesome man. They did a nice job! You have to post up some videos of it running and maybe a few hot passes when you get a chance

...All you gotta do now is upgrade to a Vintage Air a/c compressor to get rid of that big ol' clunky stocker and you'll be a show stopper

turbo is a turbine running in exhaust system. exhaust fumes going through propells it. this is hooked up to the same thing in the intake. this way it will pump the airflow to intake. So instead of having the piston pull air in, its actually pressed in.
That thing on the picture seems to do the same, just that it's propelled by a belt .... isn't that right ?
