i like the plate if someone makes this to fit in the m62 with no mods i would love it

 

wat about a thinner plate urs seems thick as hell wat if i did a 1/8 plate think id still have to machine it or even thinner

 

well my main goal was to take up that space. blocking the holes was just an added bonus. and a thinner plate would require finding a way to fasten it in there. the way i designed it its held in by the pressure of the 4 bolts holding the sc on the mani

 

but u made it 2 big so u had to machine the supercharger correct?

 

very cool, let us know the results!

 

nope if you look at the outlet on these blowers theres numbering on the outlet from when they were casted. i had to machine those off and make a flat surface for the plate to sit on so everything would mate up correctly.

again blocking the holes wasnt my main intention when designing this. i wanted to see what would happen if you smoothed the transition between the blower and intake mani.

 

you should also make a set of supercharger bolt covers that attach to the top of the bolts and are covers.

that'll help torque curve as well

 

I'm not quite sure how you can smooth the transition into the intake whenever the intake is an open hole that snakes past laminovas and into the head... It's a positive displacement (roots) blower, so it builds boost in the intake manifold, not the blower. IMHO this isn't doing anything besides blocking the silencer holes, which does increase efficiency according to Eaton, but the effect is extremely, extremely small. Cool thinking for sure, but I'd imagine that the same if not better results could be had with a light porting and silencer hole plug. My $.02

 

not sure why your being such a *****. ive stated that i diddnt test it and diddnt know what it was gonna do. never claimed that it did in fact change the torque curve. just that i was told by someone who i showed it to that when they did it thats the result they got. that person by they way was mr mallet from mallet corvette motorsport he kinda knows a thing or two. so if your gonna be a dick just stay the **** out of my thread.

 

i see what your saying. i wasnt sure what it was gonna do but you never know till you try. theres a dyno day soon i guess ill have to get the car together by then and do a before and after.

 

Ya that sounds like a good plan. A nice before and after is always good. Good luck!

 

if nothing else....machine a set of supercharger plugs........NOW THOSE WOULD SELL.

 

Really dude are you trying to be funny? cause your not... I don't understand what your trying to accomplish with your rude comments. The guy did not once claim anything on this but was sharing an idea for those who might be interested in seeking this out for them selfs. Stop being jealous of his ideas and go some where else and learn/buy/or sell stuff for your car or something stop being immature man..

 

if youre gonna use quick steel on the inlet i would make sure that you scuff up the area around the silencer holes and clean it with a strong solvent such as MEK or Denatured Alcohol.
but this seems like a great idea. would perhaps using some sort of sealant around the outside help in ensuring that no pressure goes where it shouldn't? or would that be unnecessary?

 

if nothing else this could act as a SC spacer right
good work OP

 

i had thought about that but we decided to just keep the tollerence tight between the two peices. its seems to be keeping a good seal. also i planned on having a couple different plates with different radious's that i could change out to see what kind of changes it would make. sealant would make that hard to do.



this wouldnt work as a spacer. it sits flush with the outlet housing. if you used this with a spacer plate i imagine you would need to find a way to fasten the plate to the housing so it wouldnt move.

not sure how i would go aboout making a plug just for the silencer holes. you need a way to make sure they wouldnt pop out which would meen either quick steel or welding. ill try to figure something out tho

 

i hear magic putty works just as well.

 

I've thought about doing this also

 

you could machine a set of plugs, but the problem would be securing them in the sc. the only way to secure them would be with a tig wleder, but then you also run the risk of warping the sc housing due to the extreme concentrated heat.

 

+1 I'd be interested in purchasing one of these in the near future.

 

used quicksteel almost 2 years ago and it still holds up fine, but the idea is good, just not worth the price of doing it i think

 

not if you make them slightly tapered, wont go anywhere.

 

Have a press fit and just tack them in place

 

i dont see how you would make them "slightly tapered" the inner side of the holes is machined precisely for the rotors and the outside is radiused. i dont see how slightly tapered will help anything. also with heat comes expansion. the holes may get bigger and the pieces fall out. if you want more sound, man up and get a smaller pully.

 

if you could weld that in then run coolant through it you could cool the charge temps even more.
