TS...looky what I got

[jim3]

Came today, I'm gonna need some help from you guys.

[screamin88]

Thanks.  I now have a boner.

[digitalsolo]

Nice!   Is that an Autorotor?   We run one just like that (well, probably bigger) on the T/F bikes.

Jim you've needed help for a long time. 

Is that for the Bimmer?

[jim3]

Yep, bimmer madness.  It is an Autorotor/Lysholm, a small one.  Digitalsolo, any ideas on what gauges I'll need to keep track of things?  Stuff to be aware of?

I'm pretty new to forced induction, the only other experience was with my old '86 Volvo turbowagon.  It puked a bunch of seals and gaskets do to cranckcase pressure before I had a chance to play with the boost.

Jim,

A boost gauge and wideband at the very least.

[jim3]

Thanks Blake.  I'll start there.

[AKINA FC]

Nice! Like Blake said boost gauge and wideband! and probably a extra set of tires!

[WannaBeFast]

What kind of supercharger is this? I like its shape.

[jim3]

This one is an Opcon Autorotor, twin screw FTW.  Google Lysholm for the whole story behind these.  Nowadays it would be known as a Kenne Bell.  These Whipple style chargers have a boost to rpm ratio that is very nice..under the curve type of power thing.  There is a chart that I think is on Eurosport's website that shows this.
