I actually sent an e-mail to Red about this Cheuk cause I was looking a bit into it.
Major problem that I see is that the 'drive pulley's' if thats the right word are located on the 'left' side of the engine, and the intake piping is located on the 'right' side of the engine. I think every Hyundai engine (don't quote me) has this same setup.
Best centrifugal setup I could find was on a Honda S2000. The drive pulleys are located at the front of the car which makes it PERFECT when you look at it for the setup. I sent Red the picture of the S2000 and how thats setup, and then a picture of the 2.5L Delta (2.0L he obviously knows how its setup) to show where I think we are stumbling.
IF you move your first part of the intake to the left side all cramped up you will still have to figure out a way to create piping to go all the way back to the intake manifold with at LEAST 3 bends and depending on which way you decide to go, its going to be a very long distance.
Since you can't easily or better yet AT ALL swap around which way the drive pulley's go, if someone ever came up with an intake manifold that was flipped the opposite way (clean air coming from the left side of the engine, same as the drive pulley's), the centrifugal setup will work. Till then, I don't see a centrifugal setup working, unless well Red, Cheuk or a couple other tech heads coming out with a new innovation to push that air that extra distance. Please note too, if its solved on the 2.0L or the 2.7L or any other engine from Hyundai or others for that matter, this idea can be incorporated into the other engines in the setup.
Although, I would seriously be interested in Red's idea about the intercooler.
If theoritically we/I can get all this to work and still see between 40-50% (250-270 crank hp) jump to gain on the 2.7L I would seriously consider doing it. It would be still be far below what the predicted 300hp (not sure if you guys were saying crank or wheel) of what the engine could handle.
Then the documentation can be sent to probally 4doorGL and its just a matter of using some hookups and we got a supercharger kit for the V6 <img src=/images/forums/snitz/wink.gif width=15 height=15 border=0>. If you guys don't mind of course.
