You should call that thing the "Screamin' Squid." That sucker is badass. Make the guy next to you wet his pants when he hears that thing wind up.
I suspect the jumps in the graph are belt slip. What's your pulley combination and how many ribs are they?
why not run a cog setup?I got a solid 17.5 PSI today with a 2.5 inch 6 rib pulley and belt, and no belt dust. I just couldn't wait for the 2.5 8 rib ASP is making me. I also am re-thinking this belt slip issue with the KB's and the route I was going, I'm not sure that belt slip really was an issue for losing boost. After talking with Carbinite Racing about the massive dust and belt destruction I found after using there pulley they now want me to use a manual tensioner. They are saying I need more tension on the belt and pulley to stop the belt destruction issue. I think this is a recipe for disaster as the KB drive system is not made to be direct drive so to speak. According to KB tech the friction drive system needs to have some slip to absorb shocks from the engine loads. The rotor timing and close tolerances are protected this way. Anyway once I will get the 8 rib 2.5" pulley I can compare with the 17.5 psi I got with the 6 rib. Its nice to know that the A2A setup can tolerate higher boost levels.
I tought I answered that. The KB and the drive system cannot tolerate the stresses caused by any system that would not allow some slippage. For one the pulley is fastened to the drive snout with one large bolt in the middle. Its the friction or clamping force of the two matting surfaces by that bolt the drives the supercharger. There is no keyway of sorts that connects the pulley to drive snout so if too much stress is put on that bolt it will shear off.
