With a positive displacement blower (twin screw) the rotors aren't spinning quickly enough at idle to allow enough air to the cylinders to sustain idle. So there is a flap, in this case controlled by a vacuum solenoid, that opens at idle to just allow air to bypass the rotors and get into the...

Tiny update

Have a plan for the blower outlet, now we wait two weeks for me to have the me to fit the two pipes together. Then welding and the new longer belt for the larger blower pulley, then boost (hopefully).

Lots of pictures, but the head side of the intake is done.

Yeah I can't do that

Did a tiny bit of fitting work last night, trimmed the up pipes and elongated the holes in the cross pipe so they angled up pipes fit. I've also decided to scrap the brake duct idea for now at least.

Work from Saturday, a little bit of time messing with intake pipes. Didn't weld anything yet, just cutting and drilling to prepare things. And then a couple from this evening looking at the possibility of ducting to the front brakes Rough ideas there obviously, it would have to have more of...

This one went in almost directly following the tread of the tire, I don't know how you'd ever plug it.

Down one psi since I checked an hour after getting to the house. I'm thinking I'm just going to live with the slow leak for a while. Picture just because pictures

Tweaked the throttle cable bracket the little bit I needed for better alignment then gave it a quick coat of black this evening. Then ordered some stuff at the house tonight, hose ends and adapters to complete the cooling system from head to intake manifold, a coupler for the air filter/air...

Most done throttle cable bracket

Done and painted to an acceptable level

Did more on the air cleaner adapter. I still don't really like it I'm just OK enough with it I'm not going to bother making something else. Still needs to be finished and all that.
