      Looks beautiful. A+ craftsmanship. If he gets it to run as good as it looks, I'm sure reliability won't be much problem.
      Mayhaps that huge drivebelt could use an idler pulley for that long open run.

          Maple needs coilovers.

          The Slowbaru is overkill. Unless the turbines are huge, and the SC is used to spool them, its pointless. Kinda neat though I guess.

            I do believe that's the point of the supercharger; to combat lag.

            I'm not even going to acknowledge the "slowbaru" comment...

              I have a Legacy, its slow, so I started calling it a Slowbaru. It stuck. Now all Subaru's are Slowbaru's, reguardless if they are actually slow

              This SC is a good idea for a street setup, but for track use, well, its better to use a single properly sized turbine, and theres less shat to go bang. If your really smart, you wont use a Boxer at all

                Engine looks too cluttered. Makes the subaru engine look even more confusing...

                  ya generally the supercharger is used the spool bigger turbines in a method call twin charging. old audis used to do it back in the day for rallys i believe and a past issue of sport compact mag. had a turbocharged mini cooper S called the "twinie" there is so much math included with twin charging that it will make your head spin. just find that issue of SCC mag and read the article. you mind will go numb.

                    yeah, the turbos run off of a super which runs off of the belts....


                    someone ought to make that into one unit, they could call it a procharger!!

                    erm....

                      Easier, more efficient, and less costly way of spooling your massive turbine; NITROUS. It's sad people dont realise this, even more sad that people lack the brains to make it work.

                              I thoroughly agree with you, although the counter-argument is now refill vs permanent. Then Belt loss vs, non belt loss.
