Finishing the Supercharger Development

We have had so many things pulling us away from the supercharger project lately, but now that those are all complete, we have been working steadily on finishing the supercharger project.  Last pieces are drive system and support bracketing.  This project is the 1 and only project on our plate now, and we intend to finish it asap.  Stay tuned.

Product Update

We have decided to permanently discontinue RedShift Exhausts because they are not within our focus now and there are so many good products out there (like we offer the fantastic 2.25" and 3" Thermal R&D exhaust as well as the new, beautifully made Full Race 2006+ Honda Civic exhaust.  And it's worthwhile saying that we are now a Full-Race dealer because they are truly the world leader in top performance turbo systems and a few other key products.  You will see some information about that shortly.  Take a moment to see the latest Full Race 2006 Civic Si to leave our shop here ..... made 535 whp at only 13 psi.  Absolutely amazing!

RedShift suspensions are still in full swing, and we still have good inventory of all fabrication parts needed (we have NO intension of discontinuing these).

In the end, the big news will be the supercharger products coming in the near future.  Please stay tuned.

First Video - in car of speedo only.

It's not a race video, but we aren't racing anyone.  It's a video I took to show the accel of the new twin-screw SC Intercooler kit.  Exactly as it is below...and it is a PERFECTLY flat stretch of road (closed course of course).   0-60 mph is about 5 seconds (remember this is FWD too...that's fast) and 0-100 is about 10 seconds (similar to a Viper GTS-R).  That means this is a mid-12 sec 1/4 mile car on street tires.

Here it is!

Dyno Testing the new manifold

The first dyno results are in.  Test data below is worth a look.  The 2 pics above show the car on the dyno and the KPro datalog for those who want to see it.

Made 305 whp at 7700.  220 lb*ft torque.  SAE corrected on an 88 deg F day.
Pulls were on a Mustang Dyno in 4th gear.

2002 RSX-S (stock header, DC Sports exhaust, AEM intake).

RedShift SC Intercooler setup running 10 psi at the manifold.

Manifold intake air temp 124 deg F (88 ambient)

Initial Testing shows HUGE improvements!

The graph above shows incredible improvements in AIT and accel of the new RedShift Intercooler SC setup.  Using identical weather (55 deg F and clear) 3000-8700 rpm sweeps on the same section of road, the new RedShift Intercooler SC system (using FMIC and KPro on a stock 2002 RSX-S) running 10 psi (14 psi pre-intercooler) outperformed the Comptech setup with their standard Eaton Roots blower running 12 psi by a HUGE margin.  The 3000-8700 pull in 3rd gear took an astounding 2.8 seconds less time with the RedShift Intercooled SC setup.  Also please note the stunning decrease in AIT from 240 F to 83 F.  "Base" in the above chart is the RedShift setup and "Comparo" is the Comptech setup.  This is EXACTLY the same KPro setup on EXACTLY the same car, using EXACTLY the same intake (AEM), header (stock), and exhaust (DC Sports 2.25").  Only the SC setup has changed!  Please note that speed is indicated in KPH and not MPH.  Also noteworthy is tuning has required us to max out 650cc injectors on this setup, A/F is 12.1 at 8700 rpm, timing is a conservative 21 BTDC at 10 psi (don't want to hurt the pistons yet).  Running 8700 rpm and 12.1:1 AF with 650cc injectors at 100% duty indicates crank HP over 400 hp.   HP numbers coming shortly.  Production soon to follow.

Dec 18

We will have testing of our new manifold up very soon.

With some fairly involved repairs to what turned out to be a bad casting, fancy machining, custom fixtures, and so many hours, we are finally ready to test.  Stay tuned!

July 1

RedShift Motorsports has received it's working intercooler supercharger manifold prototype.

We have received our aluminum prototype as a raw casting.  We will be machining the raw casting and then installing it to our RSX test vehicle. 

This prototype was created by Austin Design Group (who also does work for Saleen, Edelbrock, and others) using the lost foam casting process.  The design was carried out in-house using Pro-Engineer, with optimization using Pro-Engineer for strength and Insight for flow analysis.
