Collection: Superchargers

Superchargers are forced induction systems that provide increased airflow & boost pressure to the engine, resulting in improved power & performance. Unlike turbochargers, which are driven by exhaust gases, superchargers are driven directly by the engine via a belt connected to the crankshaft. They compress the intake air & deliver it to the engine at higher pressures, allowing for more fuel to be burned & producing more power. Superchargers come in different types, including roots, twin-screw, & centrifugal, each with its own design & characteristics. They can be either belt-driven or electrically driven. Superchargers offer instant throttle response, as they are driven directly by the engine, eliminating any turbo lag. They are particularly effective at low RPMs, providing enhanced torque & power throughout the rev range. Installing a supercharger in a car usually requires modifications to the intake system, fuel system, & engine management to accommodate the increased airflow & boost pressure. Superchargers are popular among performance enthusiasts looking to maximize their engine's power output & improve acceleration. However, it's important to consider the impact on fuel consumption & engine reliability, as increased power comes with added stress on the engine components.
