Any of the V12 supercharger projects complete?

Zitat von gofastermaster

for the bonnet why dont you contact cool louvres in basingstoke they can add those at a fraction of the price of a new bonnet!!

Sorry mate Can't stop myself,

Cool louvres = Generator cooling vents [IMHO]

Ah, there is my friend.....

Good Evening Dick, Simply stunning piece of Engineering Iespecially like the presence of the twin Superchargers.

Oh Yeah, the Vented Hood looks well wicked

Hello Steve,

Yeah, both look fine(but the chargers aren't working so I can drive the first time with them.

Hopefully tomorrow, otherwise this week....somewhere....

There was today a lot af discussion how to make the centerring, but we are on one line now, so it will be made.

Good thing you keep the 8th, I'm very glad about it.

There was a item about to fit the automaticgearknob from a X5 into the E31.
Does anyone knows where it is?

That would be mine then

Thanks.
Do you think all the X5 knobs will fitt on this way?

I should think so as long as the shaft length is similar....

Sorry not to be more help....

P.S. Wish I was there to see the road test.

Thanks, I buy one and try it on.

The roadtest would be on Sunday now, because the centerring isn''t ready yet, it will be on Saterday evening.

I have put my new exhaust on today, big sound, I'm very happy!

Yesterday:







Start....Ohh....drive....WOW....

Glad to here it Dick

Now we need a video with sound!! please...

Next thursday I will go the the rollerbank, than I get the new chips and testpapers, than I will make a video and you can enjoy the new sound!

I can't drive on full throttle now, we have 0,6 bar extra, so 550 BHp out of control, but I've put my footh ones down on the testdrive and it goes I can tell you.
The engine is comming alive again, it's now a giant sawingmachine...

Looks like a clean install, Dick -

This is the first twin Positive Displacement Supercharger system I've seen on an 850.

Congrats !

Will you post dyno sheets when you have them? I'm quite curious to see the uplift and shape of the HP/TQ curves relative to stock.

Rgds...

Thanks John, we hope that it will hold a long time.

I'll put the sheet on when I've it.

How is the test drive?
Any news?

Yes, we have tested it, but we couldn't get enough air(pressure) in the manifold.

We have to much loss in the last corner to the manifold, so we must create a bypass(because I would like to have the old look).

This week we see what we can do and when ready, hopefully next week, we hope to solver the problem.

The BHp wasn't good (335), the tork was good (595 nM)

get some video's of the test.

We will get there at the end, some minor things so.

Take that old Motor out & get a V8 in there

All the best Dick,

yes, perhaps I should make you an offer for yours?

Thanks Steve!

Tomorrow we will have some more air flowing, but we will see if we can bypass somethings, it's not easy to get it right in so close aerea's, also to keep my wisch to keep the old look under the hood.

I'm very sure you will get there Dick , 10 out of 10 for you & your Guys efforts, can't wait to see it up close

This was the last picture.



Tomorrow we have the black silicon ones back on place and that only will increase it appr. with o,1 bar.

with two 25 mm hoses we hope to get closer Steve, we can put them in at the back, so nobody will see them, that with other little updates must do the trick.
