As said the S/C is crank driven and no they arent water cooled, all it does it spin up the rotors to forsce air into the inlet. | |

quote: well they do spin fast but not as high as turbos and don;t produce as much heat. as far as I know S/C are not water cooled so don't need the water flowing round to cool them( seat's still pump even after the engine is switched off for this reason). | |

the noise it makes is unbelievably addictive--- the induction kit seriously magnified the supercharger whine.....roll on the long cold winter ... cold is good lol | |

well it puts more stress on the engine, but surely the s works will put out more power even if yours has the smaller pulley on it, finds out if its the same charger on that, if it is the charger/engine will be fine | |

also why im on the subject of supperchargers--- im thinking of getting a 15% reduced supercharger pulley.....will this put much more stress on the supercharger and engine-------just a bit worried about putting lots more stree on a very new engine | |

Crankshaft driven so I can't see how it would get mashed. Maybe the guy had nothing to chat about? :boggle: | |

it not like leaving it will do any damage as all its doing is turning over with the engine | |

When i first start the car i always try to wait for the temperature guage to get up to running temperature before i pull off. I went into a ford dealership today to get a part for my mums car and when i was sat in the car waiting to pull away one of the mechanics there came over to my car---- he reckoned you shouldnt leave supercharged cars standing for long after you have started the engine... I asked him why but he was pretty vague on his reasons. |
