Boner for Savage.



Wonder what the little red button does...

Looks like a high of 93 with lows in the 87s...

I have a soft spot for pontiacs.... :drool:

old cowboy hat guy approves. uncertain on dom deluise approval.

I feel like embarrassing a friend of mine tonight.

This is Patrick:

Patrick is an attorney, formerly with the firm of Sidley Austin in NYC, and now house counsel for Mitsubishi Electric in LA.

Patrick is also a father, husband, and rainbow-pegasus-unicorn.

That there is nightmare fuel, friends.

Put your headphones on and listen.

Damn. Just damn.

Like that doesnt even seem like it was recorded live on stage man. Thats amazing.

^What power! Really glad you shared.

Episode 1 of "Sanayi Savaslari" aired today.

Decent responses so far.


Here's the ful episode. No subtitles, no translation at this point.

I NEED ENGLISH (or Spanish, or even German, if they're simple enough) SUBTITLES!


https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...62a2c17447.png

It just aired today...

Subtitled/translated versions will be out soon.

I like this. Not too sure about the belt surviving any meaningful torque even with that huge pulley, and that idler bearing is not going to be happy, but still a clever idea.

Is that an alternator or something?

Massive electric supercharger judging by the wiring :giggle:

Hmmm.

Some of those old Root-type blowers you see poking through the hoods of Camaros easily pulled 75-100 HP on the shaft, and that motor doesn't looks big enough to be producing / consuming anywhere near that.

How much power do you think that motor can produce Joe?

Hard to say without knowing the voltage its running at, and having a better idea of the physical size.

Polyphase AC motors from Curtis which appear outwardly similar are rated in the neighborhood of 60-90 HP (peak) when running at max rated power (generally up to 144v at up to 500-600A.)

Well the warp 9 motors are about the same size.

It's hard to find official datasheeets for most of the brushed DC motors. At rated voltage, they produce quite a bit less HP than most of the AC motors, but then most hod-rodders don't run them at rated voltage.

Still, the motor in the photo is clearly a brushless 3-phase AC motor.

I'm pretty sure the main function of that motor is providing low rpm torque to help the engine climb to its powerband..

I struggle to see any other explanation for the cog belt setup.
That belt would be unpleasant under load at high rpm.


Or, I could be wrong.


Edit before I am publicly humiliated:

I guess I am wrong.
Timing belts are cog belts and they do just fine at all revs with valvetrain load. And shock. And rapid acceleration.

So there.

Just like the belts which connect the crankshaft to the transmission on some Harley Davidson motorcycles, the drive belts on old Roots superchargers, etc.

Why Joe, why?

https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...20dd895bd3.gif

I'm dead already...

Why is it using such thick gauge wire? An AC 3 phase motor of that size would typically be no greater than 5hp. It's probably drawing 5 FLA. These motors typically ouput a low torque at a slow shaft speed, so that seems pretty useless.

It could be brushless DC. But i don't know much about those, i think some have 3 leads for the 3 / 6 commutators.

Brushless DC motors are rare in automotive applications, as the permanent magnets add a lot of weight and size. That housing looks like a conventional AC induction motor to me.

It's hard to judge the size of that motor given the context, but it looks like it might be a Curtis AC50. Here's the spec sheet for that motor:


https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...05a4965e02.png


It makes a respectable amount of torque at 0 RPM, and delivers peak HP at what is probably the point where the engine is running out of airflow.


https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...203663b073.png

I see. What a unique application.

I'd assume just hook a couple of them to the drivetrain.

Saw this on facebook

This is what is cool now

what am I focusing on? the unnecessary splitter support?

???

I'm pretty sure splitter supports have been 'cool' for a while.

In unrelated news, I usually go to a nearby pastry shop for breakfast.

And, I share my food with the less fortunate.


https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...c4331b20d.jpeg

The turnbuckles are attached to bumper.

http://img.myconfinedspace.com/wp-co...nothing2dj.jpg

Fair enough :D

I'm interested in what else is going on here though. I see some interesting bracketry and some sort of tube structure in there. The splitter/turnbuckle thing may be idiotic but it's possible they are trolling us and hiding what is really going on there, or at least I hope so.

Speaking of just seen on facebook - another Miata swap kit:

Intercooler from a 2016 Focus RS that a buddy let me have. Test fit on Saturday but it looks like a good fit from my initial measurements.

definitely looks like it will fit the mouth perfectly
