Well, I was going to try not to respond but since there are specific issues I can address here I will. First of all I have never seen GTV6GPTT's twin turbo set up. I have tried to see it but there are no pictures of it I can find and the video I saw doesn't show anything. So I certainly have not lev...

Hi John. There is a lot of prejudice against superchargers which stems from the MYTH that the energy to spin Turbochargers is somehow free or "wasted energy" being put to use. I think that's where all this started. Even Sport Compact Car magazine which is a publication heavily biased towar...

So, in a matter of about a week you are going from 2.8 to 3.0 and now to a 3.8!

The 3.8 will be tough to top, you may have to stick two of these together to make a big V12.

Hi Arjan, Your car looks great. I really like that color combination, those wheels and the European bumpers. As for pistons, I suggest buying a whole new set. Many companies can make them for you for a reasonable cost, for example J&E, Jahns, Arias, Wiseco, and Venolia. I like Venolias, and Wise...

Thanks guys, Well, it seems every time Patzo posts I get an a couple e mails from people who say to ignore him. Alright, from now on I will ignore him and not get sucked into this

Jim K, thanks for the comments. I appreciate it however don't let yourself get caught up in this. I am afraid it's going to get ugly. I am through taking this vague unsubstatiated crap. The last time Patzo and his crew did this (old forum), I was content to just take it, since I knew I would eventua...

Here we go, well, I knew this would happen. I will respond to all of Patzo's remarks even though they are totally devoid of any facts. So in no particular order, here we go... First of all my dyno numbers are not "imaginary". I don't even know what you mean by that. The supercharger kit ha...

Thanks Barry, glad you like it. I did try to keep it as simple as possible in order to keep costs down and reliability up.

Even at a give altitude power can vary by 20% due to atmosperic conditions. Peter, it's also worth pointing out that removing the AFM will improve BSFC, so the power gain is not just from more air. In fact it might be interesting to see if there is more air which you can do if you have a way of very...

Bill, I have to make a couple comments. Although Peter would know better, I don't think Megasquirt will give a big power increase until you remove the AFM. After all, your L-Jet does a decent job of managing fuel on a nearly stock motor. Removal of the AFM is where most of the gains will come from, ...

Great, now that I posted that I realize the minus sign didn't get positioned correctly. That second density altitude is NEGATIVE 2693, as in below sea level. That's why there is a 19% difference.

Just to clarify the corrected rear wheel numbers are about 188 horsepower and 194 pounds of torque. Raw data numbers are not really useable for comparison because atmospheric conditions can easily account for 20% variation at the same elevation. For example at a 500 foot elevation dyno with an air t...

Nice Job, Jarle, I really like the picture. I am glad to see someone finally steped up to the plate and made a pair of big bore headers.

Hi Andrew the system incorporates automatic boost retard (ABR). In other words as soon as the supercharger turns on it retards the spark. Does it need it? I don't really know because I have not driven the car without it but it sure seems like a good idea to me :) Of course it also has auto boost enr...

Hi GTV6GPTT, Thanks! I am quite happy with the results. The Raw data and all conditions of the test as well as conversion calculations are at the bottom of my supercharging page here: http://www.oldebottles.com/italiancarspage7.htm . That's a good question about fuel level. The point I was trying to...
