Yeah, ya big ape. Get right on that for us, would ya?
There's two ways that I see of going about that. Either all of the ridged pullies would all have to be changed over to cogged ones, or you'd have to machine a pulley for the Paxton that extends it far enough to run it off of an additional crank pulley, and dedicated tensioner/idler pullies.
One issue I see with the latter is the added load on the compressor bearings from the added leverage due to extending the point of load further out from the housing, which would necessitate fabricating a third mounting plate. The mounting plate would need a good-sized sealed bearing pressed into it to receive an extension from the outer face of the compressor drive pulley. The crankshaft should have no problems with an outer pulley, since the Viper Paxton is driven by one.
I believe Blakewilder was able to get at least 10psi before the onset of slippage, peaking out around 12psi, with minor modifications.
Anyway, someone get right to work on this, huh?:rock:
