Title: Anybody need a little blower??
Post by: IRRebel on March 04, 2012, 10:43:31 AM: Picked this little, tiny, "baby one" one up through an obscure deal from a dude in NorCal........It's a fresh Mike Kuhl 8-71 (One of the last built by the man himself). 18 teflon strips, clearanced for gas (I double checked, .005-.007 between the rotors and .003-.005 to the bottom of the case, nice and tight!).

I'm not sure I'll use it for anything, but I did steal the snout off of it, soooo......... :screwy:

Fuel used/compression ratio would be my first concern. Should be in the 8.0:1 range or under on 91 octane, max of 9.5:1 if underdriven and very stout bottom end.

These things are like hookers. Once paid for, they'll blow anything you put them on top of. But it's up to you to make sure your bottom end is up for what pressure you are about to subject it to............or so Nordie told me........... :D
