Eventually he'll probably be designing his own Kyle MX engines im thinking a KFMX. Ford block🤔👍

[@joshreynolds729]

Ford block 😂 pretty sure their a Chevy family. A secondary hemi. Don’t think they are ford fans.

[@joshreynolds729]

Guess I was wrong. Just figured the SMX is based on an ls and I’ve never seen them working on a ford. So wouldn’t think he would use a ford motor.

lol. he is a joke. he left the old plugs on top of the motor...

[@thatfordguy2268]

It's the tensioner! 😵‍💫 Anybody else noticing the crazy amount of movement and then it failed. That's what broke the pulley bolt. Both superchargers were turning at different speeds.

[@cody39yrs]

Yeah I thought that looked kinda weird

[@williamstrese4947]

That or the fact that spinning 2 blowers with one belt that thing stretches and says uncle instantly.

[@BLKMGK4]

@@prototribal4659 Might need a cogged belt. That has it's own set of issues but it might hang in there a little better for acceleration runs.

That’s a nice looking 68 Camaro, great job with it Dave!

[@PhatboyHD88]

Kyle really good video buddy… ya kept us clearly informed at each step of the tuning, explained what was next , just a really good job man 👍

[@Jack_Rabbit71]

10:09 Even throwing extra plugs in there made no difference 🤣 Nice car.

[@robertbriggs4176]

The external plugs need to be a couple heat ranges colder than the internal plugs, that's the problem.

Sloppy work... That could have been bad.

I agree with some of the comments below , im sure Steve is a proud Father. I know he get razzed by Dad sometimes but its all in good fun . What an awesom way to grow up . I would have loved working in a shop like that with my Dad 👍🏻

[@randywl8925]

I would have expected a larger bolt for a setup like that...... ....but then again, I'm a flooring installer. 😁 Great job Kyle. You're more impressive every time you get some time of your own in these videos👍

[@ZacLowing]

For a single blower it's prolly more than enough, but add the drag of a second blower on it and snap

[@StillShatter]

Amazing video Kyle!! You seem so comfortable behind the camera lately I couldn't even tell I wasn't watching your dad and I love it!!! Thanks for all the great uploads Morris crew!!!

[@KentuckyReef]

Dangerous to leave tools, plugs in the engine compartment when doing pulls

[@proud2befknamerican466]

Plugs fell off the supercharger. I' seen that as well....

[@warrenmichael918]

so you think they did that on purpose? It was a simple oversight, it happens.

[@scrotiemcboogerballs1981]

Beautiful car I’ve always loved the 67-71 Camaro loved everything about them all thanks for sharing At 10:16 you guys left the old plugs on top of supercharger and they were flying off

[@Questionable_creations]

I'm sure they noticed that before and during editing this video.

[@randypritchard5961]

Yeah, you definitely lost some boost when at 4:53, the adjustable center idler pulley wasn't tight enough and slid up in the adjustment slot, either at full boost or immediately on deceleration. It is obvious by the angle change of the tensioner before and after. It probably didn't help the stress on the driver's side pulley bolt when the tensioner was bouncing and chattering in the next pull at 5:42 due to the belt being loose. Thanks for the interesting video!

[@bobdun918]

i watched that back in slow motion, tensioner certainly lost its position.

[@ojustracing]

Saw the same with the tensioner. Also after the spark plug change it was back to the 1st pull position. Thinking out loud. Kyle wonder if the belt tensioner is causing some extra load on the belt causing the broken pulley bolt?

[@davidb6576]

Great to see the "real world" tribulations of tuning a car, especially one you didn't spec and build. Hope to see updates when the blower is repaired.

[@daltonhayhurst8501]

WOW. The torque dam

[@oldschoolmotorsickle]

Yeah, that’s too much load on the belt and blower drive. It appeared to be smoking the belt on the initial pulls. Even with cogged belts that set-up is going to be a headache.

[@michaelfercik3691]

You probably will need to engineer a double single belt for making each blower to be driven by its individual drive belt, which will relieve side load thrust on the drivers side blower drive flange. It would probably have to be a gear driven divider to transfer the crankshaft's single belt through the multiplier transfer gearbox that has two individual belts for individually driving each blower. This multiplier multiple gearbox should be located near the water pump area, which will result in three short drive belts, which lessons the crankshaft and both blower's angular torque against the drive collars and bolts. Whipple should have thought about this when the four lobe rotor blower was being designed.

[@fabiandavis9444]

This ^^^

[@Questionable_creations]

I don't understand how that would help 😕, just seems like more moving parts to fail, they should have just made it so the bolt isn't taking the load, like making a flange for it to sit on that's more than an 8th like he said. The bolt should hold it on, not take the force.

[@nlo114]

Don't leave the spark plugs on top of the blowers, they can fall off and get mixed up in the bits that go round and round! 😉

[@bobroberts2371]

Blower pulley coming off. The drivers side pulley sees the bending load of that blower and that of the passenger side blower. RE, The passenger side blower is pulling on the belt and this adds a bending load to the drivers side. If this was a single blower, the slack side of the belt would only see the load of a belt tensioner. A toothed belt drive could help as these rely on teeth to transmit power Vs a V belt needing friction.

[@shaunwilson8413]

I think they need to redesign the tensioner too. At 4:52 it flips up and hits the other pulleys, dislodging the top idler! It's probably the cause of half their timing issues too.

[@davidb6576]

@@shaunwilson8413 Good catch, I didn't notice the first time. Agree, that needs to be reviewed to see where all the slack is coming from (what else is flexing or all belt stretch).

[@lifewithmarleyandjon4616]

Steve has taught his son well. If half the fathers here in the states were like Steve it would be a much better place.

[@johngarlick7115]

Might have something to do with the fact that the “quad rotor” dual supercharger systems are more meant for marine applications and most marine stuff ain’t spinning as high of rpm as this is nor will the rpm rise that fast in marine applications. More rpm = more power required to drive the blowers= more stress on the blower drive. The after the rpm comes on the more it shock loads the blower drive. One thing that may help reduce stress on that bolt is adding an idler pulley after the belt comes off the second blower that way the crank is directly yanking on that blower snout.

[@jasonlucas9991]

take the spark plugs off the blowers next time🤣

[@denisiwaszczuk1176]

"I've never dyno'd anything with a twin whipple on it before..." lol

[@Just_Modify]

🤯 twin supercharger??????!!!!! Oh HELL yes brother! The supercharger belt tensioner moved a lot, it changed position after the street pulls and the idler pulley got smacked and pushed up. First race tune it pulled it all the way tight and held it there even after shutdown.

[@tomtucker8849]

Kyle, that big block engine with the twin whipple arrangement is a great accomplishment.

[@dmonat]

I'm watching the belt tensioner. Wow, that thing is jumping like crazy!! I'm thinking one belt isn't enough!

[@colbylux-hale5561]

Did you verify tdc against the tdc marked on the crank, and then base timing? Only time I've seen headers get that hot that quick was when I didn't have enough timing in a lazy head. (Comparative to what I'm used to). I've also never seen a twin Whipple setup before. Super awesome deal.

[@jackmagnium6115]

its pretty common on marine and sand buggy applications. mainly in marine racing and hot rod applications

[@colbylux-hale5561]

@jackmagnium6115 high load situations there... anyways, I'd like to hear their thoughts. My gut tells me something is off. There are other signs as well. However, I'm genuinely interested, asking an honest question because I don't know the answer. I do this for a living and have the same dyno, btw.

@@colbylux-hale5561 there are many vids showing boats with twin supercharged 572 chevy engines AND v12's. there are a few cars/hot rods that run twin superchargers and prochargers but twin whipple setups are typically are used in marine racing and marine hauling applications [specifically luxury yacht's and speed boats] i had seen many vids showing these boats using engines in this manner

[@Fungarten36]

You got spark plugs falling off the top of the blower after making the switch to race fuel. then the stumble shifting gears. Seems like it's hitting a high load cell on the shift that needs some fuel.

[@armelind]

Had me raise my eyebrow when I saw they left the old spark plugs on the blower during the pull at 10:09. You want to be sure NOTHING is near the motor, on the motor, or near the intakes during a pull. Those things can do serious damage if they go in the wrong places.

[@edwardthayer9386]

Thankfully that pulley didn't hit the fender or another car. My buddy had his harmonic balancer break off like that in 1995 on a new fully built 1991 mustang. The balancer hit the street and bounced back up into his thousand dollar Ron Davis radiator, 5 hundred dollar black magic electric fan and right through his thousand dollar 4 inch Cervini cowl hood which was on backorder and took 4 months to get. And the car had only been finished being painted for a week. Definitely sucked to witness that.

[@bcbloc02]

First thing I would have to address is why in that setup does it act like it lean dies on the gear change transitions or like when feeding it in throttle. It acts like a carb setup with no accelerator pump.

[@chrisholcar6278]

At around the 4.55-5.00 minute mark, the idler/guide pulley between the chargers moved up like the bolt wasn’t able to hold the pulley in the adjustment slot properly
