Supercharger Installations for Luxury Vehicle Performance
A supercharger is a great way to increase the amount of air your engine takes in to boost horsepower and torque in your car. The basic principle behind a supercharger is to compress the air that is being drawn into the engine without creating a vacuum. This compressed air is denser, which means that it contains more oxygen. More oxygen in the engine means that more fuel can be burned, which leads to increased horsepower and torque for your sports car, and a more enjoyable ride for you.

How it Works
Superchargers come in a few different types, and one of them is the Roots blower type supercharger which uses two meshing lobes to compress air and force it into the engine. Another type is the centrifugal supercharger. This uses a turbine wheel to compress air and force it into the engine. The centrifugal type is more efficient than the Roots, but it is also more expensive.
The Benefits of a Supercharger
One of the biggest benefits of a supercharger is the instant power boost it provides. Unlike a turbocharger, which relies on exhaust gases to spin a turbine and compress air, a supercharger is driven directly by the engine. This means that power is available immediately, without any lag. This can be especially beneficial for those who want to improve their vehicle’s acceleration and overall performance.
Save on Fuel Costs
Superchargers also have the ability to increase a car’s fuel efficiency. By compressing air and allowing the engine to burn more fuel, a supercharger can help to increase power while also reducing the amount of fuel that is used. This can be especially beneficial for those who frequently drive long distances or for those who want to save money on fuel costs.
Our Mechanics Will Help You Choose the Right Supercharger
When purchasing a supercharger, it is important to make sure that it is compatible with your vehicle. Some superchargers are designed specifically for certain makes and models of cars, while others are universal and can be installed on a wide range of vehicles. It is also important to consider the type of driving you will be doing, as some superchargers are designed for racing and may not be suitable for everyday driving.
Installing a supercharger can be a complex process and should be done by our professional mechanics who are as passionate about performance as you are. A proper installation is crucial to ensure that your supercharger works as designed and doesn’t cause any damage to your car’s engine.
