SUPERCHARGER COOLING?
Turbo Mini Forums

It might deform a very small amount (hardly measurable) but you never know. If you balanced the thrust of the clutch out by using another cylinder on the pulley end like: H<-|== I reckon it would virtually eliminate thrust wear. If there was any give in the crank at these huge pressures, I would be curious how that would influence your minimum tolerances. You could run it a lot tighter, which would be better for things lining up everywhere.

We hear about huge wear in the thrusts and I've seen it on my engines and I don't like the thought of them wearing again, I like the idea of having a non-slip hence non-wear clutch (almost) and I reckon a super heavy diaphragm and pulley thrust neutraliser is the way to go. Piped up in steel, of course.

Bugger off, I'm getting there.

Stu - thrusts are designed for (wait for it...) taking thrust!

Why try and design out the system? Just optimise the system to reduce the load on the thrusts, or take the force-oiled approach.

Thrusts aren't designed for taking proper thrust though. The sort of thing you get with a proper clutch.

Mine were in a right old state.

If you use a double grey, or even a grey, I'd say you are probably pushing through the oil film and relying on the MoS2. (which is shit stuff).

I thought it would be an idea, since there was a thread about people modding their flywheels for more pressure and double plates etc.

I think it's a great idea :)

so does any body have any ideas on cooling a suck through setup?

i dont have a vmax kit but a similar setup

I was looking in to the cryogenic stuff, they do an air cooler which goes in line with the throttle body and also a kit to cool the fuel and air pipe itself. This would only be able to cool stuff before the charger though and isnt an everyday long term solution as it would cane CO2 like its going out of fashion. Anybody had any experience of these things?
