Well, if someone has a problem with my 2 valve piece of crap they can feel free to lodge a protest, given that I don't race it at MNZ events, MNZ may not have any interest in it
However after tonights failure no one will protest as I can't get the damn thing to run. For some reason the pickup coil has shit itself and I have lost all spark!
Was gutted as I wanted to fire it up with the supercharger running and see the first signs of boost!

If it does run decently you will sooner or later run it at an MNZ permited meeting - I don't see a problem unless you find it has to use meth to avoid becoming a pool of molten alloy....

You're not allowed to buy it, but you can make any part or modification yourself, pretty much sums it up for Buckets.
Looking at Sketchys supercharged 100, its clear its a class where engineering Skill and inventiveness trumps Fat wallet, I like it.

Well after a royal dick-of-the-day moment, the superbucket finally runs with a supercharger.
As it would turn out, when you take the trigger wheel off the flywheel to fit the belt it is, in fact, possible to put it back on 180 degrees out. So after pulling apart the loom and checking a million things we're back in business. I also had a problem with no spark as well, that just turned out that my cable came loose when I was uploading a calibration file so the ECU went blank.
So far I have had it running for around 10 minutes and reached a maximum RPM of 10,200 which is plenty for a free rev, considering the thing is only supposed to do 12k under load on the limiter. The boost gauge is showing 7-8 PSI from around 8000 RPM which is ok. It was planned that It would be making at least 10PSI by then with a peak of 14 at max rpm. So either my supercharger efficiency is not has high as planned or the volumetric efficiency of the motor is better than planned. I will start the tuning at this and see how we go, If I need to I can always chuck a smaller pulley on the charger and see how it goes.

Wonder how a Conley Stinger 609 would go in a bucket?
Apart from sounding awesome

Very nice mate.
Didn't sound too hesitant, or is that just because I didn't see when you tweaked the throttle? I guess you'd expect a little lag with that comparably high volume in the intercooler. Still, as you say it matters not, as long as when the boogie arrives it's there in spades.

Thanks guys, I'm not going to lie I was pretty stoaked to see boost register on the gauge and really happy to have such a good baseline tune to start from, I really was expecting it to be complete rubbish to start with but so far so good.
As for the EFI - It is an ecotrons (google it) small engine efi kit. They are sold out of america but are made in china (and shipped directly from there)
It cost me $660 landed and comes with everything you need including the O2 sensor.
