Abstract

A supercharger system is disclosed herein having a front end, a rear end, an inlet and an outlet, the system contained within a housing, wherein the supercharger system includes a rotor assembly, and a plurality of intake runners that comprise an interlaced cross-runner pattern, wherein the supercharger system comprises a front drive, front inlet configuration and an inverted orientation.

Claims (28)

1. A supercharger system contained within a housing, the supercharger system having a front end, a rear end, an inlet and an outlet and comprising:

a rotor assembly; and

a plurality of intake runners, having an interlaced cross-runner pattern;

wherein an outlet of the rotor assembly is directed upward and towards the plurality of intake runners; and

wherein the supercharger system comprises a front drive, front inlet configuration.

2. The supercharger system of claim 1 , wherein the rotor assembly is located in and installed from the rear end of the housing.

3. The supercharger system of claim 1 , wherein the rotor assembly comprises at least two rotors.

4. The supercharger system of claim 3 , wherein each rotor comprises at least two lobes.

5. The supercharger system of claim 4 , wherein each lobe comprises at least 60 twist.

6. The supercharger system of claim 4 , wherein each lobe comprises at least 160 twist.

7. The supercharger system of claim 3 , wherein each rotor comprises at least four lobes.

8. The supercharger system of claim 1 , wherein the system further comprises an integrated bypass valve, an electric throttle body, an intercooler system, or a combination thereof.

9. The supercharger system of claim 1 , comprising an electric throttle body.

10. The supercharger system of claim 9 , wherein the electric throttle body is at least 85 mm in diameter.

11. The supercharger system of claim 9 , wherein the throttle body comprises at least one set of gears.

12. The supercharger system of claim 11 , wherein the at least one set of gears are injection molded.

13. The supercharger system of claim 9 , further comprising an intercooler system, wherein the intercooler system comprises at least 100 square inches of cooling area.

14. The supercharger system of claim 1 , wherein each runner of the plurality of intake runners is at least ten inches in length.

15. The supercharger system of claim 1 , wherein each runner of the plurality of intake runners is at least twelve inches in length.

16. The supercharger system of claim 1 , wherein each runner of the plurality of intake runners is at least fifteen inches in length.

17. An engine of a motorized vehicle, having installed therein a supercharger system contained within a housing, the supercharger system having a front end, a rear end, an inlet and an outlet and comprising:

a rotor assembly; and

a plurality of intake runners, having an interlaced cross-runner pattern;

wherein an outlet of the rotor assembly is directed upward and towards the plurality of intake runners; and

wherein the supercharger system comprises a front drive, front inlet configuration.

18. The engine of claim 17 , wherein the engine comprises an intake manifold having a housing and a crankshaft.

19. The engine of claim 18 , wherein the supercharger system housing is integrated with the intake manifold housing.

20. The engine of claim 18 , wherein the outlet of the supercharger system points upward and away from the crankshaft.
