Are they to your own design or are they a replica of an existing item?
I guessing they're not gonna fit mini hubs.

It's a new design that they had at the Autosport Show in Jan, but they hadn't finshed there testing period ect. A few of us put an order in for 4 sets and they've only just got them ready for delivery....

Have finaly figured out how to get round the Power consumption problem...
The Busa only Has 29 Amps output from the alternator. Was looking at the TTS Supercharger
last night, and I didn't realise they do a Belt driven version

I could drive a Normal Alternator with that belt..... So phoned them today and even though
they hadn't herd of anyone doing that before, they said that would not be a problem.. There coming up
with a price for just the belt drive system as we speak....

Click on the Picture to see the belt driven Supercharger......

Now I can run a In-Tank Suction Fuel pump, into a Swirl Pot then a Second High pressure Pump
out of that.... Better than having just one....

I love the days I find a Great solution to a New Problem.......

I saw a GSX-R 1000 with a supercharger on when I was at TTS the other day. The conversion looked very very nice. Very tidy. They'd just been setting it up when I got there......... apparently 200bhp at the wheel!!!!!!!
