old time lake racer bike

[Rex Schimmer]

Willie,
Will you be adding a collector to the headers? Also they just seem short, I know you don't turn these motors big revs which would typically have a short primary but I doubt that your engine will see much over 6500.(?)

freud   it wasnt the camera that was the problem  it was my moniter --it was getting darker so i kept lightening the pics before i posted them --the pics looked good on my moniter  --i used someone elses computer and realized the problem was my moniter --bought a new one  thanks for all of your help    willie buchta

The reason for the short pipes...A Blower.
The first pics we posted of the exhaust were deceptive. They look like the pipe is going right to the foot peg but its not. Here are some pics with Eric in his levis and Bruno Magli's. Hope to see you all in May. We are going to be having a barbecue on Saturday night after course walk around 6:00. Come on by and bring your own brew...

Here are some more pics. The only thing left to do is some wiring and paint the tank and fender. Then the dyno....

Willy,

Thanks for sharing this build, what an awesome machine!
I enjoy seeing your craftsmanship, from sharing tips on how to fabricate simple brackets to a full on racer.

Willie,
I need to pay a little more attention!!! Now the pipes make sense. Will this bike be at Elmo in May?

 All right Willie a Procharger centrifugal supercharger!

 How much boost are you expecting and can you change the gearing on the blower?

 How do they drive the blower?

  Looking good and see you at EL mirage JL222

  P.S. It won't sound like one of those Bloodless Siphers

  Figured out the drive [pic on pg 9] how wide is that belt?

jl222--there are 2 drives ..the first is off the crankshaft inside the primary to an idler pulley ..the other side of the idler pulley is outside the primary ..the belt in the pic goes from the idler to the turbo then inside the turbo is a gear drive ---with the 1st and 2nd drive and the gears inside the turbo the ratio is 10 to 1 ----5000 motor rpm=50000 turbo rpm --- when we told pro charger what we wanted to do they got right on it and designed this system for this bike --expected boost is 15 psi--the motor is 124 cu in  bozzie motor that should make 200 hp --as soon as i finish the bike it will go to dave bozzie for some dyno work and then to el mirage on may 16--- hope to see you all there  willie buchta

  Willie - don't insult that centrifugal supercharger by calling it a turbo and especially Procharger. Turbos are centrifugal blowers driven by the exhaust with the results that sound like a [bloodless sipher] first stated by a famous English motorsports writer when one of the first turbo charge formula 1 cars went by a Coswirth about 30 mph faster.
