That whole unit is one stressed item taking all that pressure and spinning at ~29k rpm to do so ... wow...

A few hours or so. Most of time will be used to remove the core section with care.
It will remove the core bottleneck which costs the charger a few PSI and help to free flow the plumbing.
Basically it will help to maximize the superchargers efficiency by optimizing flow.
I'm not sure... It appears to be some kind of light weight resin.

Nice post, been off the forum for sometime. I see you have been very busy. You always amaze me. Did Bob at Stiegemer, tell you my supercharger was the first 55 he did. He does good work, Just ask the Corba guys. Keep up the good work, and keep us posted.

I hope you're doing this for fun and not the 10-15hp gain? http://www.stiegemeier.com/flow_results_tb.html

It's the combination of mods which dictates overall performance.
So when the whole jigsaw is put together, I think there's going to be a little more than a 15hp gain.

Seen the 55 s/c photo and wondered who's it was.
Besides doing the porting, what other work have you had done?

Porting Part A
Just a few update shots of port matching and obstruction removal.
Obstruction... Bye Bye...
Note the hangover.
Material removed from here. About 3mm above and the large section below.
This part will now match up with the lower section.
Flush with outlet manifold front and back. (Arrows)
Before.
After with about 5mm removed.
Some butcher markings from the die grinder.
More to come...

Wow, thats a really interessting thread. I'm following it since a while. It has nothing in common with german Mercedes boards: "...go to your dealer, he can fix your problem...". Especially at these expensive engines.
Sorry Finn, but I can't imagine any crazy person here in Germany who opens his supercharged 55 V8 on his own. Respect. I hope that I'll get to know some of those when I've got the pleasure to spend a year of studying in Sydney from the mid of July this year.
greetz from Germany to all of you giving this board life with your interessting topics!

I am absolutely captivated by this thread. Finny you are a hero to us all. Take care of that beast when you put it back together!

Finny, one question what is the purpose of the two U shaped slots in the bottom of the blower housing? Seems like one could remove material on the outside points.

Only speculating here... maybe as the rooters pass over these slots pressure is released gradually to help prevent oscillation or excessive noise???
A lot of physics going on here at 20k rpm or so.

If you come past Melbourne make sure you pop in and visit.

Is it only me or why is it that these pieces don't mate up together better with less overhangs and obstructions ... surely the die's could be made with better tolerances? 3-5 mm thats loads of "off" factor....

Just came back from the Heads guy who informed me that he managed to flow an extra 100hp out of the heads which I'll try and get some shots soon so you guys can see what the hell they got up to. All the valve seats and valves were replaced for larger versions among other alterations.
