Mandalay...
When are you going to start selling a bolt on supercharger kit for NA mr2s :D

Few more parts

The other knuckle



Pair of hubs, gee they look good new



And to round up the big parts for the conversion to the E153 a pair of new shifter cables



Waiting on the CRW upgrade to the CV joints and bushings for the cables and lots of nuts and bolts.

In the meantime the spare engine is being mated to the E153 to start working out the intercooler and checking the bracket for alignment.
Crazy wet weather already here but regardless wont be dropping the engine for another 3 months as i still want to drive my car on those few sunny days

Few more goodies thanks to Josh CRW :) Clevis  for the clutch and the bearings for the shifter cables

More parts from CRW . Great kit and complete. Anyone would think im building a 700 Hp engine :)

CV upgrade. Thanks josh.

My IAT's are low being a SC which is great one of the things over a Turbo but i want to get it as close to ambient as possible and to improve recovery 

You've mentioned your low intake temps a few times as compared to turbos, implying that the Rotrex heats the air less.  In fact the opposite is true, and I'd suspect your low intake temps are testament to the effectiveness of your intercooling system.
 
It is a known physical property of gases that an increase of pressure results in an increase of temperature in the absence of any other energy transfer.  This is known as an adiabatic process and can be approximated with the ideal gas laws.  It doesn't matter how the pressure is raised, if no further heat energy is added the final temperature is the same.
 
The other significant factor affecting the final gas temperature is the compressor efficiency.  Centrifugal compressors by their nature have a rotational speed range where their efficiency peaks, and the highest absolute peak efficiency is achieved in designs where this speed range is narrow.  The Rotrex compressor must provide usable efficiency over a wide range of compressor speeds, dictating that its efficiency island is wide but not terribly high.  Therefore its peak efficiency cannot by its nature match a turbo which can be optimised for the narrow speed range that the wastegate regulates it to.  It should be noted that a centrifugal compressor's pressure ratio is loosely proportional to its shaft speed, regardless of actual flow rate.  For example, on a given engine/turbo configuration, the turbo might be doing 90K RPM at 12 PSI boost and 3000 engine RPM, but at 6500 engine RPM with double the air flow but the same 12PSI, the turbo would only have raised to maybe 105K RPM.
 
So the net temperature rise through the compressor is defined as the product of compressor efficiency and adiabatic thermal effect.  The former is lower in a turbo due to its higher peak efficiency and its ability to operate within that narrow efficiency range, the latter is an unchangeable physical property identical between the Rotrex and turbo.  It therefore makes sense that the Rotrex producing the same boost as an equally well matched turbo will have a higher compressor outlet temperature.

cog's post wasn't a personal slight on your setup, MANDALAY, he was merely pointing out the fundamental differences between turbocharging and Rotrex.

MRTurbo is right Mandalay, I have the utmost of respect for your setup, your attention to detail, and your desire to do things a bit differently.  My post certainly was NOT a "turbo is better" bashing.
 
The heat transfer from the hot exhaust side of a turbo to intake air is negligible - the air is simply not in there long enough to take on any appreciable quantity of heat energy.  I don't have first hand experience with a Rotrex, but I do have an understanding of fluid dynamics.  So do the people who designed the Rotrex and they will tell you exactly the same thing.
 
My problem with your post Mandalay is that you made a claim, and have done so several times in the past, without ANY evidence to back it up.  Where is your dyno session evidence with a turbo car producing the SAME boost as your Rotrex, showing the compressor outlet temp higher?
 
It wouldn't matter if I was zoologist and had never laid eyes on a turbo in my life, the physics in my post above is well established FACT, and anything that proves it otherwise is falsified.  Again, this is not a Rotrex bashing, just simply pointing out an error in your assertions.  I apologise if it seemed that way.
