Amazing, since we told the world we were heading the KB route, we have had no end of people sending us this link Bob - the whine sure does send a shiver down!!
Developing the system in house has been fun - we are building 2 setups at the moment, a 16psi race and a 22psi street (yes, thats right, 22psi street) Should make a feral noise!! will keep you posted. Chris |

Just out of curiousity...is it possible to get rid of the "whine" in superchargers? What actually makes that sound?

Just thinking from a daily driving point of view. Some of them can get quite loud. Its ok for race days but going to and from work could get annoying after a while. Just curious whether there was some way to hide the noise.

Kenne Bell blowers cheat a bit by using angular cut gears to quiet them down a bit, but they're not as affective in cutting noise down as helical gears. |

wow, that is a very nice Mustang.
Reminds me of my old AUI XR8, I had a STA blower on it with 7psi and she whined like that stationary. Something like that could get me back in a BOSS.

Very well put Matt.
The M112 Eaton we used in our early testing (the unit we ran the first 10 sec pass with) used to really scream, it was being driven fairly hard to make 9psi, whereas the Kenne Bell unit is well below its max range @ 9psi. With an exhaust on my ute, it is still relatively quiet compared to an eaton at the same boost level which is being driven much harder. My 16psi setup should be a nice street/race compromise. Just putting finishing touches on the engine now, and when we get the best we can from the stock engine @ 9psi with NOS, we will thow the new combo in, remove the laughing gas and have some fun. The 20psi combo should be interesting, its going to see some circuit work, so there will be something for everyone!!

I realise that mate, hence me saying using helical gears will eliminate "some" of the whining. I know the characteristic whine of a blower has nothing to do with the gears, but any straight cut gears (especially those seen running the speeds on blowers) is going to create non-contact noise. Just food for thought on a different area of noise. By the way, what sort of gears are in the whipples? |

Well I must say Chris, thank you very much for the ride today in a Blue Power blown car today.
The first thing I had to do once I got home was change my Y Fronts as I think I dropped a my load somewhere up the Hume HWY. All I can say WOW. I want one now I best do some sucking to the misses. . . . . (does anyone know the phone number of a florist and diamond jeweller)
