Supercharger? - Asi - 22-12-2017
that should be a sticky^^^^
Supercharger? - James S - 22-12-2017
I saw the same supercharger on ebay yesterday.
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:

Does the outlet from the supercharger, come out the pipe at the top, down through the intercooler then back up and straight into the standard air intake?
:blink:
Lots of questions I know, just trying to get my head round how it works!

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.

Only with all the other bits to go with it - like the cradle.
Supercharger? - rob - 23-12-2017
wouldnt touch it - suspect its leaking oil so needs a stripdown. but its the correct type

I'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.
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).
