    the more load the less chatter normally, but in the case of that jackshaft the more load the more that will flex, the more it flexes the more chatter/belt slippage, that tool wont like coming to a stop with high load on it. but honestly its pretty cool and turned out nice looking for the...

    48V 20 A battery in parallel?

    it would be fine as long as they are the same voltage, (i know they are both 48v) but if you find one battery is 52v full an the other is 50v full you will cause the higher voltage to drop to the lower one, ideally they read within .5v when fully charged to work to their fullest capabilities...

    Intrepid Brake ideification and need help on how to assemble them

    it looks like you need to add a second banjo fitting on the long bolt seen to the left in the last pic to apply the pressure. but it seems you also want to switch to another style fitting/hoses (I'm not sure what type are but the look like low pressure propane fittings) you will need to undo...

    You need vacuum or it will be free revving. You can put a vac gauge on the motor and see what you are pulling. Really with a draw through setup the SC will always be under vac when the throttle/carb plate is closed. It just has to be. But you don't want it pumping/compressing air for no reason...

    siezed engine?

    You can take the head off and see if it was piston or the side case off will show if it was anything else

    The reason these will suck the oil out of them is they are junk from China rebuilt with the lowest quality parts. Lots of them don't even work right out of the box or come part in a few hours. They are $200 Proper bearings good for 18k rpm would cost more then this whole charger does. If you...

    That's the beauty of the by pass valve. It doesn't let the pressure out (it stays behind the throttle.plate the whole time)and it does manage the pressure as well. Then you can love the pressure without damaging your SC and you won't be under pressure worrying about ruining your SC. Sorry for...

    Lots of bypass valves are like a throttle body with an actuator. The need to flow more are then a blow off valve does. Although these are very small engines so it may flow enough for this setup...

    some people here are confusing the parts of each setup for sure. a roots blower doesnt need any form of blowoff valve at all i have no idea why it was brough up so many times by people when he was asking about a by pass valve (totally different thing) yes SC should be as close to the intake...

    Waste gate controls boost, blow off valve controls compressor surge. Waste gate stuck makes max bost Compressor surge isn't that big of deal. And newer turbos are made.to handle it with anti surge features

    i think you are understanding this better then most, the bypass has nothing to due or even work similarly to a blow off valve, a blow off valve just relives the pressure spike when the throttle plate closes because the compressor is still at 100k rpm and if you don't bleed that off you will...

    right on, id keep looking into those options if i was you. but i would worry about running an intercooler with a draw through setup the gas will want to settle on the cooler walls of the IC, at WOT i cant see it being much of an issue at all but lower rpms it may be. im building a rig with an...

    ill see the answer when he replies i guess, the only setups I've seen without a bypass fail very quickly. and i don't think I've ever seen a factory setup without one on anything. its going to cause insane heat that isnt needed, there is only downfalls and zero advantage the extra throttle...

    i may of missed it but are you running a bypass or second throttle body on that bad boy? the SC shouldn't be under vacuum, that's why you see so many failures with these most run them with a draw though and no bypass or second throttle body causing the vacuum at idle to drain the oil and just...

    Cam size

    Thanks for the reply..my plan is to force the head to flow. I'm going to make a build thread for the motor and trike here soon. I'll have a few questions and then I can keep the convo in one thread.

    Cam size

    That's kind of what I was thinking. So I asked I the forum instead Incase anyone has some knows the limits on cam sizes and fitting in the block, cam not into the piston and not causing too much of an issue to deal with about binding..
