Supercharged VK45 update

[marksport]

I spent the entire summer season riding my Yamaha R1 and put the supercharger project on the side.





Now that the season is over and my bike is stored, I have started back on my project.

As most of the members here remember, I started off with the Keuylian supercharger kit using the Autorotor 1.7L

This is my current lineup.







On the far right is the original 1.7L, the next one is the 2.2L that was to replace it. I acquired a 2.6L over the summer, which is the current "Big Bore" Kenne Bell designed and manufactured unit. The last one beside the manifold is the Whipple 3.3L made by Lysholm.

The 1.7 and the 2.2 use the same discharge and inlet flange , while the 2.6L requires the intake manifold to be either modified with a larger discharge flange or an adapter plate. The 3.3L Whipple requires both a new inlet manifold and either intake manifold modification or adapter plate. It is taller and longer, which now requires consideration whether there is enough room under the stock hood as well as the distance to the firewall. The Whipple flows nearly twice as much as the original 1.7.

I still need to order the main bearings and assemble the motor, as well as get the transmission rebuilt. [IMG][/IMG]

What I would do for one of those head units - dang and you have 4 of them!!!!

Sweet setup that manifold has....I would also do many things for that piece alone.

Did you ever get any info on the molds to make those again? I'm sure they are just sitting on some shelf in a shop wherehouse somewhere collecting dust - arrrgghhh

What ever happened to this build? Updates please. Also, what are your thoughts on the Keuylian supercharger that you had on your Q before your friend blew it up?
