Default My project. Not a HUNDAH

Hey guys, I know I dont' post much, I am just a lurker in this forum. I just read the post and try to make sense in some helpful post. I dont' own a honda, but a nissan max 90 se. I found this site by mistake and love it ever since. So to make long story short and I dont' know if it belongs in this forum. this is my project, it's home made. it's a custom supercharger for a 3gen nissan maxima.

Pretty cool, but no need to bash Honda. HONDUH was the word I think you were looking for. Please be respectful of the other members on this board. We don't bash imports or domestics, unless its a Crustang. Just kidding. Good job!

It's not a Honduh and it's not TURBOcharged? OMG than WTF is it

J/K, looks good. I like it. Looks like you did some very nice work.

did you make a s/c out of a t3? thats pretty cool, but how you gonna spin it at 60,000 rpm with just a pulley? what kind of boost is it making? very cool idea man! even if its not a honda and is a 4 door :P

thats pretty pimp, these guys have never heard of a centrifugal supercharger...

instead of a exhaust housing there is a pully. the compressor is basically the same

Wow, thats gotta be the most ungodly, original, ballsy, idea I've seen in a long time! Tearing down the center section to make it a belt-driven centrifugal....I wouldnt have even condsidered that. Getting the tension just right to not load up what used to be a floating puss *** bearing would be a bitch.... :P
You guys obviously put some work into that....thumbs up!!

Thanks guys!!!.

I just took a T3 turbo and machine out the center section and main shaft and the pulley. The compressor is driven directly with the AC belt and the pulley was made as small diameter as possible to spin as fast as possible (but no way near 60K RPM) but I am getting decent boost around 5psi, no way near you guys boost (so jealous!!) but I am happy with this project learn alot too, thats what really counts.

No oil is use for this setup. it's running on high speed ceramic seal ball bearings, these things cost me arm and leg. I might go with oil setup if these bearing takes a dump.
