Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Supercharger Assembly
The supercharger assembly is a positive displacement pump. The supercharger supplies an excess volume of intake air to the engine by increasing air pressure and density in the intake manifold. The supercharger assembly incorporates the bypass system to reduce air handling losses when boost is not required, resulting in better fuel economy. When integrated on the engine the supercharger increases torque across the entire engine operating range from 25 to 50 percent without compromising driveability or emissions. The supercharger is matched to the engine by its displacement and belt ratio, and can provide excess airflow at any engine speed. It contains 2 screw-type 3-lobed rotors. The helical shape of the rotors and specialized porting provide a smooth discharge flow and a low level of noise during operation. The rotors are supported by ball bearings in front and needle bearings at the rear.

- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
