Question about the supercharger for 928
#33
In my car I got 375 to the wheels, at 7psi with a pretty crummy Air/fuel ratio. That was done on a pulley ration of 2:1 5 “ crank to 2.5 SC.
Was the SC making 7 psi when it made 375rwhp? IIRC it was making less than 6. You must use the boost that it was making while it made max HP in your calculation. This would be for your setup of course. You may find that it makes more than 500HP on 11psi.

Well, thats the chart. First redline was appx 7psi...2nd appox 5.5 psi, from what i could see on the video. Now that i have it all logged to the nats *** i will have a better grasp of it when i go to the dyno next time.
So it made it at both 7 and 5 i guess. I will have to mark the belt and pulley next time to see wether the drop is due to belt slip or in efficency at the higher RPMS. My guess is it should be slip or some other factor as with the pulley ratio the SC is barely even working....appx 12-13000 rpm. Cobras spin them over 21K!

You know, you could mount an optical sensor to measure and log supercharger pulley RPM, and then compare it to logged engine RPM and boost. You'd see exactly if and at what speed and boost level belt slippage was occuring.
