The root type supercharger produces most amount heat into the intake air than any other supercharger so you will have to introduce cooling for intake charge. Keep this in the mind that water cooling has more benefits into your type of car which is under powered and more weight.

You need to work on your clutching, the rpm should jump to peak horsepower rpm and hold it there until you let off the throttle. Get a copy of Olav Aaens clutch tunning handbook and learn the operation of a cvt system. Also maybe look into a snowmobile cvt for 3 reasons, #1 tunning is almost infinite #2 the secondary will be larger that the unit your running now so will give you a lower starting gear for better acceleration #3 durability will be much greater The only issue would be is the primary on snowmobiles fits on the crankshaft with a taper and not a straight shaft key like you have on the predator. Even if you changed the secondary to one from a 70s arctic cat jackshaft mounted unit you would see benefits from tuning and gearing. Reason I mention the cat clutch is for availability,belt width and that it mounts on a 1 inch keyed shaft so it would mount easily. Also then you can set the clutches up with the correct center to center distance for proper belt deflection. For reference the cat clutch is set up for a 1 1/4 inch wide belt.

Air to water in this application would also help with packaging. He is starting to run low on space, and being. Able to remote mount the radiator would be a boon. The problem I keep thinking about is, what would you even use for the intercooler?

[@lazar2175]

You can actually get fairly small barrel type water to air intercoolers. This would be good for two reasons: 1. Less air displacement between supercharger and throttle body. 2. As you said, much smaller packaging. If I was Mr. Cantina, I'd be running an air to water intercooler under the hood, and run the hoses back to the rear of the car. There, I'd mount a radiator and a small electric water pump under the rear bumper if possible. This could possibly eliminate the need for an electric fan, if the low air pressure area behind the car is used cleverly. However, with the alternator video, I think Mr. Cantina has been a few steps ahead of us already. That water pump is going to need like 4-5A at least.

Moving the fuel injection point closer to the outlet of the stupidcharger would likely drop the IAT's considerably in WOT scenarios.

You need a bypass valve to address the vacuum issue. Last time I checked, $20 will get you an OEM SC'd Mini Pooper bypass valve on ebay.

[@jasongaunt]

Jimbo, this video did me a *big* please, keep it up 😊👍 Recommendation for the intake temps: By putting the throttle body before the stupid charger, you're not letting fresh air flow through it when you lift off the throttle or drive steadily. That's just gonna soak it with heat. I truly appreciate it's hard work doing all this stuff, but I really think you'll benefit from moving the throttle body closer to the block. Regardless, we're grateful you're doing all this.. for science 🧪🔬 🔥

[@Surestick88]

With a positive displacement blower like this one, and without a blow-off valve, putting the throttle body after the blower can lead to things like bent throttle plates when you close the throttle and the engine and supercharger are on the overrun and forcing more and more air into what is essentially a sealed tube. If you're lucky you blow the intake piping off.

[@robotcantina8957]

Yes! Thank you

Your Injector duty cycle ? 🤔 Btw, now you have boost, only thing left is to add intercooler and all your performance will be only in ignition tuning table... More ignition more power 💪 I think You should possibly cut ⅓ of the time(0-60) just by tuning ignition. So good luck 💪

[@N47H4NI3L]

Time to a have a second look at that exhaust. Needs more flow.

[@LBJHJP50]

With the dip in Engine RPM it would be interesting to see an acceleration curve in m/s/s or whatever freedom units would be

[@Synic08]

I agree... cooler intake would help...and for sure wouldn’t hurt if you could adjust timing with boost...

[@kansasrose2909]

Right on!

[@Mr.Engineer.]

With E85 you can run a lot more aggressive ignition advance and boost levels without getting pre ignition. Try it out, it is like a poor mans race fuel 😀 You might need a bigger nozzle as the AFR is a lot lower.

[@Mr.Engineer.]

Also got to remove that sticker if going this route 😋

[@ttank94]

Assuming your injector is large enough you should just convert to E85. Not only will it lower intake temps (between the injector and intake valve) but it will allow you to run a tad more ignition advance and give you some safety margin from the increased octane.

Just use any second hand junkyard or free intercooler mounted roughly near some airflow. That will work fine.
