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 (26)

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:

an integrated bypass valve,

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 wherein the plurality of intake runners are located under the rotor assembly.

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 a 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 electric throttle body, an intercooler system or a combination thereof.

9. The supercharger system of claim 8 , wherein the electric throttle body is at least 85 mm in diameter.

10. The supercharger system of claim 8 , wherein the electric throttle body comprises at least one set of gears.

11. The supercharger system of claim 10 , wherein the at least one set of gears are injection molded.

12. The supercharger system of claim 11 , wherein the at least one set of gears comprises nylon.

13. The supercharger system of claim 10 , wherein the at least one set of gears comprises glass-filled nylon.

14. The supercharger system of claim 8 , wherein the intercooler system comprises at least 100 square inches of cooling area.

15. The supercharger system of claim 14 , wherein the intercooler system comprises at least 110 square inches of cooling area.

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

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

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

19. 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,

an integrated bypass valve,

an intercooler system; 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 wherein the plurality of intake runners are located under the rotor assembly.
