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.

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.

[@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.

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.

[@Hoaxer51]

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

[@completemoney]

This is what makes Steve so good. He actually has a personality and doesn’t just stand around quiet. It was so awkward him trying to get these guys to talk and explain things

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.

[@jdias51]

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

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.

[@marklowe330]

I enjoy all your videos but this one is next level. Thanks to you and these other gentlemen for putting out this content. I love machine work, being a life long machinist.

36:05 I can tell you just knowing a small amount about cnc machines I know they are doing some serious machining. You can tell just from that shot how they mount the tools in their spindles using induction heating and I know those processes are not cheap, easy simple or anything in between but you can get damn near perfect tool placement and making sure your tool is straight in that holder is really important.

[@donmathias1705]

Very interesting. Was surprised the speed increaser was not running helical gears. The transmission of motion is perfect much like a cv versus a universal joint. That's what the noise is on a straight cut gear set. Folks seem to think that the thrust a helical generates is an issue. On that set up the thrust would be countered by the thrust the impeller generates. In the high speed application paired angular contact ball race bearings are the go. Never the less very impressive work and great video
