Re: Drouin SuperchargerThanks, saved the photo to growing collection.
I've a good bit of Tom's flyers and magazine tests plus user reports back to the begining with TC's drag racing and a very few current users. A more permanent site should store this for future as mine is proven pure fate dependent. hobot RohanB wrote: > > One for hobot. > Commando 850 mit Drouin.

Ebay has a widow maker Lake carb 'injector' on 850, a rare chance at one. *http://tinyurl.com/2vnk78* Might look into small european models or these 2 stroke cuties.. http://www.mountainperformance.com/ hobot Drouin dyno sales chart http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2252064710037141179oBPTJo |

Re: Drouin Supercharger/Aisin superchargerHello;
I have the small 300cc Aisin supercharger, I'm just in the process of mounting it on a CB750 SOHC. I have to spin it at 2X the crank speed to get around 6-8 psi boost. I am blowing thru a GSXR set of throttle bodies. There is a 500cc version that I think might work better if I go to a bigger bore, the 300cc unit should work on the stock 736cc Honda. From all the info I can dig up the origional 660cc car motor the Aisin 300 ran at just under 2X speed so at 2X it should about replicate the same boost. I will use megasquirt to run the injection. I can post some pics of my progress so far if anyone is interested. Joe ----- Original Message ----- From: hubert To: mc-engine@...

Re: Drouin SuperchargerHello All;
I had a Druin supercharger on my CB750 automatic sand dragger years ago. The throttle stuck wide open on full boost and as the bike is an automatic I had no clutch to pull in, I finally got two plug wires off the motor so the thing finally slowed enough to let the butterfly in the carb flop closed. That experiance plus blowing bearings, chewing belts and general bad reliability made me dislike the thing. Eventually traded it for a 4LS front wheel off a Suzuki water buffalo. I felt I got the better of the deal. Joe |

Re: Drouin Supercharger/Aisin superchargerDan,
I've had 3 Drouins, one w/o adjustable flat belt, but possible to remedy and 2 of the adjustable flat belt light wt. impeller kind. I got the last ones available that showed up from a couple of N. East coast extremists of the era. http://nortoncommando.com/start.htm [Norton Eye Candy to see!] I know of maybe one Drouin left from ~4 yr ago while tracking them. It was to be adapted to a Sporter but he lost interest as it was non adj. belt type so needed machinist to update/modify. I sold the mate of my pair to biker/machiist that reengineered soup to nuts. Now ~4 yr, each time I check in he's more and more pleased on mostly stock 850, even takes couple hundered mile round trips on one belt and loving it more and more. Tom Drouin may have created one of the deadliest add ons in motorcycle history short of the front fender passenger seats though never heard of deaths from front seats but sure have from Drouins' deadly sticking Lake, one pull cable-spring only return, flat slide. My mate started his on the Lake [ open tap to flood open tube at bottom, shut off, start bike on fuel pddle OR ELSE, then try to open tap before dies, but after that, to a man all calim uncannty smoothness, even if unable to ilde very slow] but he said even mere blips in his shop, he felt the hesitations of shut down and told me he'd not move it till normal carb fitted. Now he's working up to bigger CV carb for MO power. This is remarkable good news to me as each and every prior user always soon crashed, died, divorced or bankrupted before enough use for Drouins to show up at rallys or anywhere much. I'm pensive deep down, only cavalier in rocking chair day dreams. If not for Ms Peel chassis modifications, Drouin could easy over power cornering stability and brakes and tires and chain and tranny and spokes and fates. You think my posts are of wild abandon to G's, I've never posted to level of Mike or Bruce and John have on description of acceleration ability, compared to GP bikes and Nitrus injected sports rockets they own. I've saved them - if bored by the ordinary. hobot Here's Mike's classy 850 with early two stage scab on belt drive centrifugal version. It might still be available somewhere in UK> http://www.captain.norton.clara.net/pic9.html#pic9.top I've not put up any photo's of Peel dressed out Droiun, just examples that mostly match, but wlll as happens. hobot dan mcmanus wrote: > > Where did you get the supercharger?

Re: Drouin SuperchargerOH CRAP! not other Drouin almost doing pilot and bike in for good story.
Wonder what happened to the next user or if it will be discovered someday by an innocent unknowing its vampire nature to make families' grieve. I'd not attempt another Drouin but a cut in half turbo maybe. hobot 750guy wrote: > > Hello All; > I had a Druin supercharger on my CB750 automatic sand dragger years > ago.

Autorotor model 1050.With all this talk of superchargers...............
Does anyone know where I could get my hands on an "AUTOROTOR" brand supercharger Model 1050. ( Made in Switzerland ? ) Specs are : Screw type SC'r with 500cc / rpm and 18,000 rpm max. I have one and would love to get my hands on another, but AUTOROTOR were taken over by someone ( a US co. ? ), who dropped the small displacement models. Happy to pay new price or close ( for new condition ), even interested in any that have hand-grenaded or had bolts / nuts go thru them. ( At the right price ) Any leads appreciated.
