The All American Made Billet Superchargers

Steve has the most entertaining tours. I love how he just can't help but repeat everything for us like we didn't hear it from the person telling it to him.

[@robertjoslinjr8536]

[@BrianJacobsen-lc3fe]

He just likes what he does so much. Steve just got to tell you twice.

[@jameslowery3498]

That's the teacher in him. He truly doesn't realize it and probably can't help it

[@georgedennison3338]

Being officially ancient, I am amazed at the progress of machining in my lifetime. I saw overhead belt driven machines being used, everyday, in a small Oregon coast town in my teens, & have watched how dramatically our entire world has changed because of the advancement of CNC. And that is only in my relatively short lifespan. It boggles the mind to think what today's teens will see when they're officially ancient. Thanks for taking us along to your friends' place, Steve. GeoD

[@brian70Cuda]

I feel the same way.

[@brandonpanozzo86]

agreed and phones blow my mind still too lol but yes cnc technology is amazing!!

[@preachers4135]

I agree 100% but at the same time I’m even more impressed when I learn of the marvelous work that was achieved decades before the advancements. Such things as WW2 aircraft engines with precision machined surfaces that didn’t use sealing gaskets or any goop to seal components or covers.

[@Hoaxer51]

The first thing I noticed when they walked inside was how clean that shop was, it’s a machine shop and you could probably eat off the floor. Nice place they keep up up there.

[@johnnyrot1075]

Whats realty insane is the fact that they are achieving 1 thousands or so tolerance on the blower impeller, on a 4 axis operation with "god" knows how many gear sets and 5 motors (1 drives the tool head rotation) Now that is mind blowing. Thanks Steve and crew from TorqStorm.

[@--_DJ_--]

Ya, it really doesn't make sense that it can be done to that level with so many moving parts. Obviously it can be done, but it seems more like magic than anything else.

[@johnnyrot1075]

@@--_DJ_-- Precision engineering. zero lash gear sets Extremely flat tables and what about the motors that rotate the 3, 4 axis? The position control WOW mind boggling This level of Automated precision was never thought to be possible in the early 70s (50 years ago)

[@garyhowe88]

Well the machining of blisks for turbine engines would blow your mind then, holding tolerances of a couple of Tenths on a 5 axis.

When Steve was watching where they break in the new chargers and picked up that towel to show the blow off, when he put the towel back, the guy running that process moved the towel back and looked at Steve for a minute, I thought he was going to say “The towel goes here”. Lol

That was a rather "uncomfortable" interview there Steve! You did real well to hold it together! Thank you, J

[@camillethetacoturd7210]

I want to thank these guys for allowing us to see what they do and just a part if there process. This stuff to me is absolutely amazing and I know, not just anyone gets an eye into their processes. Amazing F’N work gentlemen and THANK YOU!!! THIS SHIT IS BAD ASS!!!

[@USALetFreedomRing]

I have worked in these top secret shops with close tolerance work aka military & aircraft, and even medical parts. Not only is there an inspection room with precision equipment with ruby tipped probes to check quality, but these machines have probes that check the work before it is removed from the fixtures or tombstones found in the Doosan pallet machine. Some parts are even viewed on an optical comparator inspection machine.

[@strykerentllc]

This was right in our lane which most people don't get to see. GD&T entered the chat when Chris started talking about uniformity in the impeller wheel. Pallet changers and tombstones o' plenty! Was fun to see the jovial digs back and forth amongst friends. Cheers!

[@jdias51]

The amount of content steve is putting out is super impressive for being newish to youtube

It'd be below them as far as cost and especially cost per unit but I'd one for my Lil 2.4.

This video was a dance. These guys know lots of secret stuff. Steve understands enough of this stuff that they were really hoping he didnt accidentally say something! I enjoyed this, thanks!!!

[@TimothyArnott-m7z]

Hey Steve, Tim here, i stayed for the whole thing....i was mesmorized as a machinist dude, (Non CNC mind you) at everything u were allowed to show......i was SO proud of these dudes, and they OBVIOUSLY got their shi% together......i genuinely enjoyed the whole thing!!!.....i'm gonna promote Torque Storm cent. Blowers as much as i can!!!....TY sir for a VERY informative, and (as much as u were allowed) in depth look at their blowers.... TY SIR!!!..PEACE to you!!

[@K-Effect]

Great video, very informative. I am very impressed with Torque Storm, especially now knowing it’s American made 5:50 I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many serpentine belts in one place at one time. 37:33 I have never seen anything but an exhaust manifold/header run into a Flowmaster muffler tell now. 43:07 You know it’s legit workhorse when it has a ratchet strap or two on it. 47:26 It’s amazing what CNC machines can do, but what really amazes me is how the CNC machine is built. It can repeatedly be that precise over and over again through millions of different movements reliably, stays exact and doesn’t skip a beat.

[@colemanbelcher1589]

Steve kills me!! He has to Touch Everything!! 😂 Lol. The look on them guys face were like.. “ Don’t Touch That, Don’t Ask That”. Secret 😂 Great Stuff Tho!!

[@alltheboost5363]

[@mwqs1]

Man, I love these videos where Steve or Kyle goes to a specialty shop and does an in depth video tour of the facility. It’s so cool to have a glimpse into their world and learn a little about how they do stuff.

[@ultraspeed7625]

This is a great in depth view of how a centrifugal supercharger is machined and built - in West Michigan no less! Thank you Steve Morris for walking us all through this. Also thank you Scott and Chris for your focus and dedication on keeping it American made, clearly you take pride in your work. I knew these products were made in Grand Rapids, but this helped understand just how much and what was involved in the making of them. Thank you very much!

[@nolano6072]

Wow. Their shop is spotless. Cool stuff as always Steve

[@Mltemple8333]

Awesome schooling on how a centri works, made and the details of the whole thing. I normally don’t like videos this long but this one is just all info and zero fluff but with Steve still enjoying himself, making it very interesting.
