		<description><![CDATA[Tweet There are many great articles online on general piston design, piston ring design, and how the design of OEM and aftermarket pistons has changed over the last decade. What we will focus on today is the choice of a proper aftermarket piston for your street engine running a significant amount of forced induction using supercharged, turbocharged, nitrous injected or a combination of these power adders. So what we have in mind today is a daily driven motor, running in the rpm range up to about 8000 rpms with up to 18psi of boost pressure, and experience all the typical operating conditions of a daily driven motor including cold starts, short warm up durations, conventional oiling systems &#8230;etc Before we start talking about piston design I want to first spend a minute talking about the different sections of the piston that are of interest: The Crown: Is the top most surface of the piston which creates the moving bottom barrier in the combustion chamber. This part of the piston is in contact with incoming airflow, burnt exhaust gasses, and is part of the combustion chamber shape. The Ring lands: Are the reliefs cut into the side profile of the piston [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Tweet The Lysholm / Autorotor Supercharger is a unique and very practical chager. The unit is a great compromize between a positive displacement supercharger (that creates boost pressure by over pumping and over feeding the engine with air) and a compressor (similar to a turbocharger) that compresses the air inside the supercharger housing before sending it out to the charger piping. The unique three-five design of the twin screw chargers relies on a 3 lobe and a 5 lobe rotor intermeshed to capture the air flowing into the supercharger for inter-screw compression. The combination of an intermeshed 3 lobe and 5 lobe rotor means that the rotors inside the housing are operating at different rpms with a ratio of 5:3 to keep the rotation of the lobes (3 lobes to 5) in synchronsim. This complex design allows the rotors to capture air (in its natural volume) from the back of the blower housing, and push it foward as the screws rotate. As the air is moved forward it is captured and compressed between the intermeshed rotors as well as being pumped (in positive displacement) from the inlet port at the back of the charger housing to the outlet port near the [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Tweet The other day I had a thought about DIY modifications, possible fuel savers and other performance tricks and tips to increase gas mileage. See, although this is a performance oriented blog, as the cost of oil per barrell crosses the 70 dollars per barrell threshold once again, and as the economic depression in the USA (and thus in many other parts of the world) seems to be very much a mainstay till around 2012 according to analysts, I can&#8217;t help but think about mileage and how so many people might want performance parts for their car, but they may also NEED better fuel mileage. This got me to thinking about how we as automtive enthusiasts modify our cars for increased volumetric effeciency and higher performance in a specific rpm range of around 4000 rpms and higher. This is mainly due to the fact, that when you are racing, you spend alot of your time on the eastern half of the tachometer in the higher end of the rev range and thus it makes sense that most performance products and tips are focused towards higher rpm effeciency. However, there are some (but not all) performance modifications (and racer&#8217;s secrets quite [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Tweet The LS1 powered Camaro Z28 is a great car, with plenty of power and great modification potential. One of the typical upgrade paths for Z28 owners is high flow heads, high lift moderate duration cams, and healthy doses of nitrous oxide. In unleashing this nitrous driven frenzy on the LS1 engine, the LS1 has proven to be a fairly robust contender in the face of a 200 horsepower shot of nitrous unleashed on the motor at 2500 RPMs, some people have even gone as far as spraying 300 shots on their stock LS1 with great success. One of the great things about nitrous is it gives us some insight on the power of our engine. Since nitrous is typically delivered all at once in a single shot, then it usually produces huge torque figures at lower rpm ranges, and as the RPM’s rise, the torque increase from the nitrous shot drops down, as horsepower stays maintained. The reason for this is the basic relationship between torque and horsepower. Horsepower (hp) = Torque (ft.lbs) * RPM / 5252 By applying this math we find that a 200 horsepower shot sprayed at 2500 RPMs add about 420 ft.lbs of torque to [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Tweet This is the first in a series of &#8216;snapshots&#8217; of a manufacturer&#8217;s superchargers that I plan on posting every so often. As you can see it&#8217;s written in simple English (in horsepower and boost) and is an easy way for people that don&#8217;t know how to read a compressor map to get a good idea of what their supercharger (or planned supercharger) is capable of.   Eaton Eaton’s first supercharger was released on the thunderbird back in 1989. Since then, Eaton has blessed the market with 5 generations of positive displacement, roots style superchargers with incremental changes between every generation and the previous.      “The fifth generation Eaton supercharger or Gen V is the culmination of over 50 years of improvement to the original design for Roots superchargers. It features two three-lobe rotors, twisted 60 degrees and provides engine manufacturers with a proven, economical solution for adding power.” Model Pressure Ratio Peak Boost (psi) Peak flow (CFM) Peak HP Charger displacement (liters) M45 1.7 10 300 200 0.74 MP45 1.7 10 360 240 0.74 M62 1.7 10 450 300 1.02 MP62 1.7 10 550 367 1.02 M90 1.7 10 550 367 1.47 MP90 1.7 10 600 400 1.47 [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Tweet   Our last articles about combining supercharger performance with turbocharger top end seems to have found some online appreciation. So, I’ve decided to write up a step by step on how to do the math for twin-charging your own car. I’m going to start with a typical compact car engine, such as the Toyota Celica 2.2 liter 5sfe engine. The engine makes 135 hp at 5200 RPMs with a 6200 RPM redline. For starters, every horsepower requires about 1.5 CFM of air (depending on the air density). So 135 naturally aspirated hp requires a flow of 202 CFM at pressure ratio of 1. The pressure ratio is the ratio of turbocharger or supercharger boost pressure divided by atmospheric pressure. Each 1 atmosphere is equal to 14.7psi of pressure… thus: PR = (14.7 + Boost pressure)/14.7 So for a normally aspirated car: PR = (14.7 + 0) / 14.7 = 1. Supercharger calculations: Using 14psi as our target boost (and the maximum safe boost we’d want to extract out of a roots style supercharger) we get the following pressure ratio: PR = (14.7+14)/14.7 = 1.95 New expected horsepower level: old HP * pressure ratio New HP = 135 * 1.95 [...]
