Intercooling for a M24 eaton supercharger
Intercooling for a M24 eaton supercharger
(OP)
Hello everyone. My name is Tyler Girodat and I am attending the University of Saskatchewan in my first year of engineering. I am currently in a SAE club that has a fresh Honda CBR 600RR engine ready to be moded. We recieved the supercharger for free and was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction for finding an intercooling kit including rads and housing that we could possibly work with for this project. I joined this club to learn and if anyone could help me, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for your time.

I happen to race Honda CBR600RRs on the CCS circuit, which is for motorcycles, not SAE cars. Before you go slapping a supercharger on that engine, you need to consider a few things.
The typical compression ratio (CR) of a CBR 600RR engine is about 12.25:1. Supercharging such an engine will lead to a dangerous knock condition, even with intercooling. The engine already requires 93 octane. You may need to consider either higher octane fuel or a reduction in the CR. And being that the engine redlines past 15,000 rpm, you may need to reconsider the radiator as well. The power you plan on demanding of the engine will require plenty of cooling.
Other than that, I would find the spec drawings (or just measure it yourself) of the supercharger mounting and design your own kit system for the bike using off-the-shelf parts. With some modeling, planning and some nifty packaging, you should be able to design a decent system.
Good luck!

With E85 that is on the high end of the ethanol spec, you will tolerate a bit more boost if you run very rich, but then fuel consumption rate will become a real issue.
Boost from a positive displacement pump certainly is an effective way to overcome a restrictor plate.
The manifold pressure after the plate will be a lot lower than before the plate, so the effective boost re tendency to detonate should be measured after the restrictor.

Sorry, I'm a total FSAE-geek, I did it for five years.
