As I pointed out yesterday, the belt drive turbo can be built to produce any level of boost to any size of engine clear to 500 cubic inchers -- if results and...
After a lifetime around boats, I consider the boat hobby a soft target for serious supercharging and the sensational speeds that come with it. We're all...

I'm sorry for the repeated posts overnite but my Juno account went out, followed by the usual slugout. They demanded that I do their "PAT" thingy with my Juno...
Last time I pointed out that I wanted to focus my attention on the small supercharger market where the future is, and not on the saturated and dying big V8...
The newsletter is out and most of you should have it today or tomorrow at worst. There's more material and more photos this time including a new series on fast...

With the belt drive turbo nearing completion, its going to be increasingly easier to build high horsepower marine engines. This should naturally perk our...
Why the 1/2" shaft and not the 3/8"? Doesn't that limit rpm's as in refferenced in your other postings? Could the 3/8" be used with the belt in middle bearing...

I've spent the last week redoing my shop to provide room for larger, more permanent test facilities. My problems have been lack of enough horse- power to run...
The use of high horsepower supercharged motors in light boats will produce high speeds which in turn permit travelling far beyond the range of the typical...
If I'm gonna use a big V-8. Question is: How to steer? That also leaves me with something "hanging down" under the boat. Even an outboard can skitter up onto...
I've been talking about building "unsinkable" boats and the usefulness of "self bailing" decks as used on sailboats and some race boats and monohull speedboats...
