i see a prob in the very near future

[BikerGran]

And the problem is?

[VALLEYSBOY]

id say holding on

[dracken1]

well unless that is water cooled... it's gonna get very hot

[Manky Monkey]

Cool!
Or not. Who built that Dracken? And has anyone shown it to Lunatic, our resident VW buff yet?

[dracken1]

it looks like a show queen to me, besides overheating due to thee increased temp caused by the blower, cop a look at the driveshaft angles, done so the rear wheels could be moved rearward

Ive seen that before. It looks kool, but I would think it would get rather hot! Do blowers make alot of heat? They are only two rotors driven by a belt. Anyway, our Vw trike used to boil off the fuel in the float chambers of the carbs when it was stationary before we put a full cooling system on it! Better keep it moving then!

[dracken1]

the very process of compressing air heats it up. not so bad if you run on alcohol, but petrol engines will run hotter. i used to use a timed water injector on my 455 pontiac and that was under driven, that is the blower pully was larger than the crank pulley. that blower above is over driven, i think it's all show

The driveshafts aint too clever, but the blower's not a problem. I used to run a supercharged VW trike myself, with no cowlings, and it never overheated. Just bear in mind that the standard motor sits under a lid with poor airflow, but on a trike, it's fully air cooled with no obstructions.

I've always wondered Chris -how much power do you actually gain with a charger like that? Looks impressive but how much extra oomph do you get?

[baddon]

The air cooling system has been removed to allow the S/C to fit, so it will overheat very quickly unless you are traveling at speed.

If you move at any speed the drive shafts will run the UJ in about 1/2 hr so its for display mainly I reckon to showcase some builders work.

Looks the dogs nuggets though.

Don't care.

You'll fit in well here.
