Don't you think you're being a little impatient? A girl I went to high school with has a feminist twitter account or something like that. She has like 250,000 followers but it took her years to get there, She also promoted herself a lot on other similar sites. Do you participate on the Mustang forums to promote your page? The girl I'm referring to is also an executive for a Michigan public utility. A high power job and from what I understand her twitter or whatever it is was like a second job for a long time for her to get it's where its at.

EDIT: For example, why don't you have a link to your FB Page here along with listing your cars and builds? All you have is this:



And no matter how many times I select the yellow like button, nothing happens.

 

I don't think I'm being THAT impatient... 376 FB friends, and 30 subscribers. I'd like to think I could generate more than that just off FB. As far as groups are concerned, there are several of us with YT channels - but it's an unwritten law to not promote it there. In fact, just today I finally discovered the "girls love mustangs" account owner. Only because I recognized the cars... There are at least 2 others in there besides me with a channel.

I've also been paying to promote it. I guess that's the most frustrating part. I can generate webpage traffic like crazy, but I just can't figure out the YT channel deal.

Any of you know a thing or three about it? LOL. I'm all ears.

 

Just heard the first draft of the opening song... pretty sweet! He is going to add a bass track, etc. Now.

 

Thank you Adrian!

EDIT: If any of you's are interested in checking out episode 8, here it is.

Noobie... THANK YOU!

I have the final copy of the new opening for my channel. Now I've got to add some more "spice" to the video portion. So glad my cousin hooked me up!

EDIT: My daughter put me on Instagram last night.... got a crap ton of hits right out of the chute. Hopefully it helps!

 

That's fantastic. Put yourself out there as much as possible.

I wanted to explain the CR of 17 better if I can. The nuances of CR, there are many, vs. pressure explained:

https://mgaguru.com/mgtech/power/pp105.htm

CR as an engine spec is really a meaningless number because it's a static number based on cylinder volume and the relationship between TDC and BDC volume. It's not based on the engine running. Running it's a dynamic number which is very different from the static number. Even still, the static number is based on Stoichiometric pressure of 14.7. Still seldom does 14.7 have much to do with the pressure where the engine is running. Actual CR needs to be based on absolute pressure for where the engine is running and needs to take in to account temperature, density and mass as it changes. Also cam profile makes a difference because of overlap and reversion. CR is an involved ratio and it typically is constantly changing over time as the engine runs.

I called someone I once worked with and asked about the adding the amout of boost to the static CR to get a reference to what the boost is doing to the stock, static CR. He onfirmed what I wrote earlier. It just turns out that adding the boost to the static CR is a close approximation to what the boost is doing to static CR when properly cooled. He also said which I didn't know is it's limited to about 10 pounds of boost or less. Over 10 pounds the relationship becomes more and more geometric than linear. It's actully all linear but under 10 pounds the geometric effect is minor. Another problem when starting to go over 10 pounds is the octane of the gas needed. Depending on the engine and air volume needed (CR) the needed octane isn't always readily available. This is also figured with a cam used for efficency and not high performance.

Im sorry to say I didn't find a direct link to any of this to defend the veracity of what I'm saying here but I did find in Jay Miller's book, "Real World High-Performance Turbocharging Systems," references to what is called "Ballpark Matching" for turbos. Obviously not supercharging but the principal is the same. He starts explaining this with VE and time. For example, an intake valve with a duration of 230 degrees at 3,000 rpms is open for 0.0255 seconds. At 6,000 rps it's open for 0.0127 seconds. Close to half the time to push the same amount of air to maintain VE. I'm sure all this is obvious to you. The reason for using Ballpark Matching is because most people are not doing the actual math to build a turbo system. They are looking at manufacturer specs based on what their goal is. The system is also protected with waste gtes nd blow off valves to maintain safe operating conditions. The thing is though, the marketing of turbo systems pushes the volume or VE of air going through the engine but they don't backtrack it to CR. If you do that, Pro Charger has some published charts, you can see how close this lines up to what I suggested as 17\1 CR if a proper intercooler is matched for the increase in air mass and density to the system and again at less than 10 pounds where it gets more intricate above 10 pounds.

Finally and repeating myself, boost is about pressure and static CR is about voulme so one or the other has to be translated so a comparison can be made directly.

Sorry for the encyclopedia White. Made it as short as I could.

EDIT: I came across this on Enginewise:

Supercharger manufacturers have created a very clever way to help customers select the proper size blower. They call it “effective compression ratio” and it combines the compression ratio of the stock engine with the amount of air that any particular supercharger can compress into the cylinder. It’s a great tool to select a blower that will provide the best match of reliability and power.

EDIT: The problem with the charts is they don't take in to account the efficiency of the different types of SC's or any of the other impacts that effect SC efficiency like properly grinding the valves for a boosted engine. It's just about static CR + boost to the new static CR.

 

I want to build a smoke machine to check for vacuum leaks.... OR just buy one. Do any of you guys have suggestions? The mineral/baby oil units seem fairly cheap to buy or build.

Thanks in advance.
