“Find a way to get the starter off the engine and onto the absorber and it will save me up to 45 minutes work on every engine I put on the dyno,” declared Jon Kaase, IHRA’s leading ProStock engine builder. The challenge was set for Steve McAllister of Innovation Engineering. Kaase wanted a unit that fit his big block Ford engine applications. Steve and Jon worked together to build a steel bellhousing with a single reverse rotation starter and an aluminum flywheel that mounted on the absorber hub. Jon went on to say, “Our 814 cubic inch Pro Stock motors kick back now and again and the reverse rotation starters are expensive. We keep a spare on the shelf and one out for rebuild.” Seeing the benefit of Jon’s application inspired Steve to design a starter unit for the SF-833 and SF-871 absorbers. The prototype SF-871 DynoStart debuted in the dyno cell at the 2002 PRI show and has been in continuous service in SuperFlow’s test cell three in Colorado Springs ever since. Innovation Engineering has been shipping SF-871 Dynostart units for SF-901 and X-test dynos since the first of the year and SF-833 and SF-833 X-test units since May. |
