Awesome Piece.. most likely for show and for someone that has $$$. Definitely not practical dollar per HP. I’ve never seen twin S.C. Also I enjoy the behind the scenes you guys show us.
Glad that pulley was in the room and you were outside, pulley appeared to leave a mark on the window… (Window is some kind of acrylic transparent material – I am guessing).
So cool to see a son following in dads footsteps you can tell they are around each other a whole whole lot during a day!! They facial expressions and mannerisms are so so similar. Kyle is very knowledgeable himself as well but look who the teacher is!! Enjoy the content guys keep it coming
Even being on the dyno, still unacceptable quality from TorqStorm. At least they seem to be under-rating their blowers, as they say each of those is a 700hp unit. If you've made over 1900hp, then that's awesome. Great video as always! Very informative.
The twin centrifugal stuff I've always wondered what the main incentives are for this? Are you trying to have more available boost to mimic a positive displacement blower, while having the higher RPM powercurve characteristics of a centrifugal blower? And beyond that, does running twin centrifugal's have more parasitic losses vs 1 large unit that has the same flow potential?
I'm most thankful you are safe. That pulley was on course, to harm you. This video needs to be watched by every engine dyno mechanic, so they can understand what is explained about quicker enginespeed slowing. It makes perfect sense, but who is thinking about it??? Its a tensioner, supposed to be the flex, not the fuse.
Had the same Tensioner on my truck… broke same way on a road trip left me stranded till an Uber came close enough to even get a ride. It was middle of no where.
I bet if the lights were out in the dyno cell while it was running you could have seen the spark jumping on those plug wires. We had a shop truck that I was getting some misfires going up a big grade one night. I pulled over popped the hood and you could see spraks jumping off the wires like Christmas trees. LOL Needless to say it got a new set of wires the next day.
Nice troubleshooting on the motor and dyno. Is there a calibration for the dyno RPM sensor? It looks like the sensor was moved about an inch closer to the rotational centerline. The surface speed the sensor is seeing changes with that location change (closer to the centerline will have a lower surface speed compared to farther away). If I assume the old location was at 11” diameter and the new location is at 10” diameter, the math says that would change the surface RPM by a factor of 1.1, meaning the reported RPM will be off by 10% due to the change. The difference if left would be the reported RPM of 7,100 would actually be 7,810. I would expect it to lay over at that RPM and it didn’t really fall off much, so it seems like you knew to change the setting. Great content, thanks. Just geeking on the setup.

No Limits @SM
Was gonna make a joke about that LS being a squirter but this is a family channel
I will never own a belt drive blower but Jesus if that wasn't a predictable failure! I'm not seeing the use but hopefully somebody happy.
Kyle content is great stuff!

Thanks for sharing. The engine is badass for sure. Stay safe guys.
I watched that 3 times like there’s now way that’s 3 inch lexan the he said 1/4
Good move Steve. Let the Kid/s step up. Kyle on it!!! Bravo!!
looks like the right bank supercharger is moving could be just the video to
that engine looks great…. the time put into building it.. to making it look like art work
nice
thanks for showing the issues and the fixes
And that is one of the reasons you don't stand in the dyno cell when you are making a pull.

What oil weight are you guys running on hydraulic roller?? He left that part out
Kyles Indian name is going to be throttle chopper
You should let us know the cost of all these engines so we could wrap are minds around what it take$!!
Awesome engine, be great to see it ripping down the road, all the best to yous and your loved ones
It's data. Data is an intelidrone on StarTrek – Next Generation.

Great in depth video of how things work in real life, now the question we all have: where is Mullets engine????????

The pulley has left the chat, no one injured is the main thing.

3"!? Lol… who are you trying to convince that every 1/4" is 3"?

Ha ha, I once was afraid of saying had 3 inches, until I found out they work better that thick….lol
Give her a little tappy-tap-tap and vrroom she's makin over a 1000 horse toques
I really want to visit the shop Seeing how everything is made and assembled would be amazing
