The only reason I bought the turbo is I'm waiting for the compound. I
don't care about the supercharger end of it. Karibian

----------------------------
Spoken like a man with more flying hours behind a turbo compound engine
than anybody else I know :)

Here is the latest cutaway. Almost ready to go into the machine shop.
Oooo good thing I did this one. I just noticed a mistake.
Thank goodness for 3D.

Fixed the problem and added the gears.

Did I luck out or what? I was wondering how I was going to adjust
the V belt tension as the traction drive box must be coaxial
with the turbo charger. Due to my extremely fortuitous choice of
parallel shaft reduction gears all I need do is make this simple clamp/
mounting bracket. You rotate the whole unit until the
belt has the proper tension and tighten the clamp bolt.
Whew! What a relief :)
