I'm late to the party! I love these supercharges, koenigsegg uses them too.

I am hesitant on a camden (although they are very nice) because I'm not thrilled with it using my own engine oil. I may rig up its own electric pump for oil since rotaries tend to get diluted with fuel.

Alive and kicking, but working more on RE-Speed/SHQE projects. His engine is still in pieces and his car is close behind. The man needs to hire a cute receptionist so he can get more grunt work done. And so I can stop by every day and hit on her.

I'm currently helping a buddy building a c30-94 onto a 4th gen toyota 3s-ge engine.

Secondly the holes where the bolts go through since we didn't have a 6mm drill on hand is .05mm smaller than what I'd like and is a bit too snug to get the bolts in, they will go in all the way right now but might aswell make it work better. Thirdly, it will be going on a diet, this one was just for testing purposes so the next one could be about 1/2 the weight of this one.

The finished product will have a much better finish and will probably have an anodized color on there.

Here's the pictures of this one though:










Hello Sam,

I also have a rotrex supercharger with a pulley adapter. Do you have the diagram for the pulley ring(in the pics) that you fabricated from Rotrex or the diagram is made by you? Could you please send it to me if possible. Thank you very much in advance.

...and this project died.

I'm finding myself going turbo because the rotrex never happened.

Probably safe to assume that this won't be happening anytime soon. Then again he is rarely on the forum anymore, so if he were working on it, we wouldn't know!
