  1. I have definitely been instructed by someone that should have known what they are doing to use a light stone w/ oil to knock off the small high spots of a number of hydraulic rams. Also fork stanchions in the bike shop.

    As long as it's not chopping out the seal you'll be sweet?

    And just keep looking for a nice one. Haha

  2. Drove home for the weekend and spent some time working on this.

    Some rust was cut out, some new bit welded in (excuse welding haha) and with a few more weekends doing the same thing it will be ready for paint.
     
    I dont have photos of the other side but it was waaaay worse than below, I just need to weld in a small filler piece to seal it up and then paint it up all nice like.

    Below is basically the last bit to fix, It looks super bad inside the sill from this pic but its not actually that shitty IRL. The previous owner has welded in a 3mm plate in the front edge of the sill that might need to come out depending on how nice I am feeling, it is mostly covered by a piece of stainless trim so I dont really care.

    Holy Giant shitty pics batman.

     

    Also working on this again made me super happy haha, I really want to drive the piss out of it soooon/dreaming.

     

    I may also need Mr Upholstery/Gregs help once it is on the road for ultimate lushness.

  3. To have a turbo small enough (compressor side) for a well boosted compound setup is going to be blowing some pretty hot air if you make it work alone for max top end power. Your already making heaps of boost why not just leave them in a designed efficiency and just crank the boost through the blower more. If its a poisitve displacement setup so if you up the boost 1psi on the inlet it just means its 1psi higher at the outlet. You already have the intercooling in place to deal with it.

  4. If you are talking about efficiency in terms of overall loss it is going to be greater with turbo into sc setup vs a big turbo then yeah your right. But that isnt the point of the compound twincharge setup. Its about power EVERYWHERE, the best way to achieve that IMO is a well sized turbo blowing into a positive displacement blower. 

     

     

    If you are after max power then go to Davejacksonville and buy a big assed turbo.

     

    edit:

     

    That doesnt really say what Im trying to get across.

     

    If the point of having a turbo and a blower is to do doorts then the most efficient way to compress the air is to compound charge it with intercooling between stages. You still have the same parasitic loss from the supercharger whether you compound charge it or sequential charge it so you may as well compress the air more efficiently to better make up for it.

     

    The first top bit doesnt make sense. The rest is solid

  5. Actually with 2 stage compression ie compounding setups and correct intercooling you get a more efficient compression. Yes there is a problem with cooling the charge but the physics of multiple stage compression says your statement above is wrong.
