Agreed...

Waiting on this is very exciting, but guess there is no updates for us...

 

I personally spoke with Mel last night on the phone and he gave me a breakdown of what was going on, what had happened with Jim and what he was trying to make happen for all of us that have a deposit. Basically what he told me was that they have no definate answers for HP or final price and they ran into the unexpected problem of having to fabricate another snout because the one on the Lysholm is too long. They're working out the issues and everything is in the shop. After my conversation with him I feel more confident now that he is doing everything he can to get this out to us. He seems very customer service oriented and is all about making us happy with the final product. He told me that he wants to be sure that everything is right before he sends anything out.

 

Ummm, they better not be "fabricating" a snout. That better just be machining the old one slightly.

 

That does seem like a pretty big problem. lol

 

If you are talking about the snout on the M62 it's cast as one piece with the casing. The Lysholm does not have a snout, therefore they have to fab their own. From that post I would assume that they are trying to make it mate up with the stock intake piping.

 

well if you look at the pic on the first page there is definitely a snout on the lysholm.

 

The snout on the Lysholm is an ordered one. They need one that is between sizes, thus they are trying to make one.

 

The drive snout or the inlet? Lysholm sells the drives in 1" intervals.

Perhaps they are trying to compromise between the mounting holes and access to the oil filter.

 

The snout on a Lysholm is easily machined using a mill, lots of cutting fluid, and going very slowly. Trust me, it was neccsary to machine a snout of the Lysholm that bolts into the thunderbird supercoupe.

 

The drive snout I believe. I think they need one between the 1" intervals available for proper pulley alignment from what I can tell.

 

I just want to see a vid

 

From my calculations, there is only one snout that Lysholm makes that will allow for proper pulley alignment without interfering with the mounting holes. But it then makes the supercharger interfere with the boost bypass port. Hence the reason for a new endplate. Extending the boost bypass port too far interferes with the oil filter canister. It's a bag of worms anyway you look at it. That is why I never finished the project like I wanted to...well that and lack of time and effort to put my nose to the grindstone.

 

Updates...

 

I concur, has been too long . Im in a debate about getting a mazdaspeed 3, or upgrading to the cobalt ss, this will help my decision

 

or you can get a ss.sc with my mods, thall be enough. believe me.

 

No...trusst me...its definately not enough...I would know...ive had ur setup on my for car the past yr

THIS is enough:

 

But what happens a year from now? Will it still be enough?

 

Bump for an update! I just upgraded to a 2.6 and tuned it today, and it still isn't enough. I want some more power soon!

 

HOLY **** DAN!! that thing looks HUGE when it is shown next to the blower! Now I see why it's not gonna fit back there!!!

 

thats a big ol turbo right there man

 

We are going to make the snout:

1. For exact alignment (better fit over intake manifold, fitment to endplate and intake)
2. So we can install our modular pulley to, pullies will range from 3.25" to 2.62" <- 2900psi
3. It's cheaper for us to make it than order them.

Currently the snouts are being machined, I'll see if I can snap some pics 2moro.

 

Do you mean 29psi?

 

Yeah!!!!!

 

dang its about time there was a update, so i guess mase is our goto guy for this?

 

probly seeing as its his redline that is the guinea pig fo this... lucky basturd lol
