Oz, here's my chance to ask -- just what is a quid?  How much -- just slang for one pound, or a pair of 'em, or five -- I've seen the word used and haven't ever been told the definition.

I know, I know -- if I lived near you I'd know.  But - -

Thanks.

Ah a quid, let me see is it a Squid without a lisp a Quad that has a drive shaft hanging out or an offhand funny remark that has been spelt wrong?
At the current exchange rate a Quid is about $1.50ish I think,You really should spend more time here!!

So do I understand that a "quid" is a separate and unique amount of money, NOT related to a pound?  Or is it a pound and you just didn't answer specifically?

The Blower has turned up a brand new M58 Eaton of a BMW Mini but one thing I didnt take into consideration was the rotation of the blower,Seems my options are to
A,use a belt from the crank to a contra rotating gear.
B.Drive it of the starter ring gear of the clutch but that may get a bit hot.
C.Drive it of the opposite side of the motor but that means a load of machining.
the other problem /query is where the hell is the oiling on it, has anyone had experience of the usage of these blowers
Cheers Oz

hi OZ nBECKS- :-)i have played with third generation eaton m45 and m90,S   undoubtedly a well engineered product, leading the way in Roots type blower development,in fact the only progress for a long time!
. Boost is produced by volume displacement rather than tip speed like a centrifugal blower. This alloWs even better boost from zero RPM.

the lubrication system is self contained.so no need for oil lines,returns,or cavitation catch tanks.

i did a bit of work for EATON- but not on the the automotive side,the machine used to produce the unique rotor profiles was made by HOLROYD,it was their install guy that i spoke to ages ago about the kompressor merc before they came out.

these blowers run INCREDIBLY hot,but out in the open,on methanol i see no problem.

its was a pleasure to see and feel just how light these potent little thumpers are.

GO OZCO!!!

I BELIEVE THATS A M45----

Been a while but I actually managed to get in the workshop and do a bit... a very small bit,
I thought I would have a go with the gearbox and mock it up to see how everything would line up!

I now have a dilema the Harley FXR gearbox has a tapered shaft and my clutch basket which was given to me (Cheers Daf) is a later model with splines rather than tapered shaft model.

Apparently there is an upgraded shaft does anyone know anything about them and where I can get hold of one.
