I see you pull your engine from the top and I'd like to pick your brain a little about the procedure if you don't mind. I lost a rod bearing and need to do an engine swap. Don't worry, I'm a former professional tech so I just have a few specific question.

The volumetric efficiency curve is close enough to be considered linear without drastically effecting resulting calculations at any given rpm.<br /><br />Volumetric efficiency effects the CFM input into the engine and boost is basically a result of CFM flowing from the supercharger pump. That being said, having x boost at supercharger rotational speed y (dependent on pulley size and engine RPM)will have volumetric efficiency accounted for already; since volumetric efficiency will effect boost seen. I guess what I think I'm getting at is that a function for boost includes all variables including volumetric efficiency, air density, temperature, and a handful of other factors. I say give it a try and see if a linear function gets close :)<br /><br />I have a few pics of the Blue Meany at the Tire Rack on my blog if you haven't seen them already. I still need to upload an album of all the pictures. I have some video of us running on the course but sadly they don't have sound.<br /><br />http://clandestinemotorsports.blogspot.com/<br /><br />Have you gotten any pictures or the article from the magazine shoot?

The blower will pump the same amount of air into the engine for each rotation inside the supercharger. An easy way of understanding it that I read once was at X engine rpm's the supercharger is pumping Y air into the engine. At 2X engine rpm the blower is pumping 2Y air into the engine. This is why you see a constant boost level throughout the rev range. However, a centrifugal supercharger uses step-up gearing and therefore creates boost pressure non-linearly with respect to RPM.<br /><br />Consider the driving pulley (crank pulley?) to generate the input rpm in the system and the driven pulley (on supercharger head-unit) to notice the output rpm. A change in the supercharger pulley will result in a new output rpm. If you have at least two points with boost values at the same rpm, say 7500, you should be able to interpolate a linear function for boost at that rpm with any given driven pulley size. For that matter, since boost levels don't change through the rpm range you should be able to compare boost levels at different rpm's to find a linear function as long as no other variables were changed.LaserCougarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06737916627800595307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-929323287664852546.post-54975948990893842792010-08-06T08:53:46.734-04:002010-08-06T08:53:46.734-04:00Thanks guys.Thanks guys.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04123537008427168249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-929323287664852546.post-87123995070414680912010-08-06T08:52:20.606-04:002010-08-06T08:52:20.606-04:00this is NOT what you want to see :)this is NOT what you want to see :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04123537008427168249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-929323287664852546.post-57979330020731904202010-07-20T18:30:15.791-04:002010-07-20T18:30:15.791-04:00Seriously, we thought this would be very helpful f...Seriously, we thought this would be very helpful for someone who was actually performing the procedure.<br /><br />Misty says that you are very good at explaining everything and can totally picture someone following along easily.<br /><br />I concur.
