Superchargers, Kits & Accessories

Supercharger kits for motorsport vehicles are designed to significantly boost engine performance by mechanically compressing the intake air, thereby increasing its density and allowing more fuel to be combusted. These kits typically include the supercharger unit, intercooler, belt drive system, and necessary mounting hardware. Superchargers, driven by the engine's crankshaft, provide immediate boost pressure, enhancing throttle response and low-end torque. The intercooler is a critical component, cooling the compressed air to prevent detonation and ensure consistent power delivery.

Supercharger types commonly found in these kits include roots, twin-screw, and centrifugal superchargers. Roots superchargers are known for their robust low-end torque, delivering a constant boost pressure across the RPM range. Twin-screw superchargers offer higher efficiency and better mid-range power, while centrifugal superchargers excel at high RPM performance, gradually building boost as engine speed increases. The belt drive system, designed to handle the additional stress, ensures reliable power transfer from the crankshaft to the supercharger.

Accessories for supercharger kits are crucial for optimising performance and ensuring engine reliability. Upgraded fuel injectors and high-flow fuel pumps are often included to match the increased air supply with adequate fuel delivery. Advanced engine management systems provide precise control over the air-fuel mixture and ignition timing, allowing for fine-tuning of the engine's performance. Additionally, bypass valves are used to regulate boost pressure, preventing overboost conditions and ensuring smooth operation. Properly engineered piping and mounting hardware ensure efficient airflow and secure installation, making the most of the supercharger's capabilities.
