That looks lile a belt broke and went through the blower. Thats not the blower fault.
My sources tell me the YSi will continue to make power to 80k.
310 cubes of Ford have run 173, a bunch mod motors are also over 170.
No lightweights yet either-all race weight.
I think Jay can run 165 plus-but he needs to make some changes.

This is not my next build-I'm fine with just the little ole YSi.
Unless someone sends me some stuff to test.

I was racing on an airfield last weekend, and missed 4th gear once.
Hit 7400rpm, approx 77,500rpm at the blower...oops. No slip with cogs. It's still hanging together fine though, 6 year old unit.
Been spinning it to about 70k for a few months now, although that isnt a lot of actual mileage.
I do agree though, intake temps will rise pretty quickly even with a very large intercooler. Not bad or dangerous levels, but they do rise faster than I like which says to me the compressor is well past where it wants to be.
Although when using water/meth, air temps does become irrelevant.
Spinning an XB110 to say 3/4 of it's max is bound to be far better everywhere than spinning a YSi to 70k+
They need to do two things though.
Firstly, get the damn things ready for sale, and then make me a V11-XB105 lol

good point brought up above...what ABEC ratings are the bearings on the V1's vs the YSI's vs say this new blower coming out. I only know the ABEC system from my old days of skating haha. All I know is higher number is better and less rolling resistance.

I guess the next question is. Seeing as the XB110 is the same physical size as the V4 units.
Which is actually the more efficient unit for say a 2-300hp increase over a YSi ?
V-4 X ? XX, Z ? XB110 ?
Which is the easiest to turn, and has the lightest or strongest impeller ?
