The
Current
Axialflow
Supercharger
Left is a 4 stage 550 CFM compressor. This is a typical unit
that could be for any installation requiring it's
characteristics. This happens to be a development unit, it can
be front or rear inlet. The radial inlet/outlet can be timed in
any of three planes. The nose/transmission housing/mounting
point can be timed in any of 8 positions. The can is shown for
size comparison. This unit weighs 11 Lbs.
These compressors are built entirely from billet bar stock,
there are no castings anywhere. Due to this we have complete
flexibility in design. While we don't make a new design for
every blower we can customize the flow and pressure at will. Our
machining process is highly flexible but it does require that
the part design have certain parameters. It is possible to build
these for almost all applications up to the limit of the
envelop. Where that limit is we can only speculate.
Currently we have built 450, 550, 650 CFM units. These have all
been axial rear inlet and front radial outlet. We have built
them in reverse rotation on the 450 CFM units. Right hand
rotation in all other sizes.
LATHAM
SUPERCHARGER
As stated in the history section Latham started axial flow
supercharging. While Richard Paul is the heir apparent to all
things Latham it is not a subsidiary of Axialflow Engineering.
It is Affiliated by being where Mr. Paul works. As such we offer
services for old Latham blowers even though they are no longer
produced.
-
Florida units: Very few parts
are still available for these blowers. We have no belts except
for the 1.5 wide SBC using the FI manifold. Some service can
be provided for these. Units that have been disassembled by
others cannot be serviced.
-
California built units: These
can be fully serviced and most parts are available. Belts are
available as well as carb adapters. Units that have been
disassembled by others cannot be serviced.
-
Full size billet blowers (6000
series) can be serviced and most parts are available.
-
Custom 6000 series superchargers
can still be produced at more attractive pricing than
originally sold. This is due to our new manufacturing process.
Flows to 2500 CFM can be produced. These are one off
compressors and tailored to customer needs.

Axialflow
Engineering Master Cylinder Brace
The
Axialflow
Master Cylinder Brace was developed to eliminate the soft pedal
that the RX-8 exhibits under hard braking.
The reason for this is the very thin material used for the
firewall and brake boosters. You can watch this under static
conditions by having someone press the brake pedal while you
watch the master cylinder under the hood.
Our billet 6061 aluminum brace is CNC machined to a shape
developed with our CAD and FEA software.
By utilizing the shock tower studs secured with special
“extension nuts” the brace is utilizing the leverage of its own
depth to get rock solid feel.
The brace installation is about 30 minutes by anyone with
minimal skills. You’ll need a 1 3/4 or 1 ½ hose saw plus a 14 mm
and 7/8" socket and 17mm end wrench. That’s it.
Introductory offer for the first 100 units
$70.00 plus $12.00 shipping/handling. Choose blue, red or
raw.
Note:
May not work with some after market strut braces. If not
sure check with sales.
For left hand drive only.

Axialflow
Engineering Shifters
The
Axialflow
Engineering Shifter is the best made anywhere by anyone.
Typical construction is 303 stainless steel shafts, machined
in house on our modern CNC equipment. Attached components
are of like materials. Polymer parts are typically CNC
machined from DuPont Delrin, an engineering polymer. Pivot
pins are hardened to 60 on the Rockwell C scale. The
engineering is aimed at optimizing the geometry for the
shortest shift practical for road driving. We concentrate on
"feel" or "quality" of the movement. Typically there is a
reduction in the height of the knob for a better ergonomic
relationship with the driver. The factory has to make
compromises for the driver who is really not the sports
type. We cater to the small segment who are looking for a
real relationship with their car. It is hard to express the
accuracy of placement and if you track your car this means
better times. All
Axialflow
Shifters are warranted for the life of the car to the
original buyer. If it ever wears or fails we will fix or
replace it free, no questions asked. All you pay is the S&H,
same as when you bought it. While we can't express the
feeling, our customers can.
