Supercharger?
Supercharger?
What does the supercharger connect too??
Obivously driven by the crank. So does that mean that it is not connected to the exhaust side of the engine??
How do the TTE superchargers get the compressed air into the engine. :confused1:
I saw the same supercharger on ebay yesterday.

Correct its not connected to the exhaust side.
a turbo spins by using the gas coming out of the exhaust side of the engine. this is connected to a shaft that spins another fan sucking air in and compressing it.
an supercharger spins by a belt connected to the engine.
the chargers get the air to the engine the same way turbos do. a spinning fan/blades compress the air and then threw pipe and the intercooler to the inlet.

Here another that looks a lot cleaner

A lot of the bits you need will be the same as for a turbo, so you might want to consider a turbo upgrade as an alternative, which will likely have a lot more headroom. The biggest difference is likely to be needing a turbo manifold, but that's a similar issue to needing a cradle for the charger (i.e. finding one or making one).

23-12-2016, 06:15 AM #20I'd think about all the costs very carefully before going and buying a supercharger, even a second-hand one. There are still a *lot* of other bits that you need, and the cradle will be particularly important, to make sure the charger sits in the right place and runs smoothly off the crankshaft.
