The Most General Questions With Regards To A Powerful Vehicle
Question

Why is a Supercharger modification better than other engine modifications?

Answer

A supercharger compresses the air/fuel mixture of an engine by forcing air into the engine under pressure. Supercharging raises compression, increases air density, and significantly increases power on an otherwise stock engine. In short, supercharging makes a V6 perform like a V8. Vortech supercharger systems offer more HP per Rand than any other single engine modification. Most other modifications available require specific matched parts, in-depth tuning and won't produce the performance gains you'll receive from just the addition of a Vortech supercharger system.

Question

Will a supercharger system hurt my engine?

Answer

A supercharger system will not affect the engine durability. Supercharged engines, not unlike turbos, operate in vacuum almost all the time. When in boost, at full throttle, the forces on the engine are still lower than the rotational forces. As a general rule, the worst thing you can do to your engine is over rev it (exceed the vehicle manufacturer's specified red line), run non-premium fuel, overboost your engine via pulley changes, and modifying your vehicle with aftermarket heads, cams, etc. without retuning the computer and fuel system to accommodate such changes.

Question

What type of maintenance is required with a Vortech Supercharger system?

Answer

We do ask that you change your engine oil at regular intervals because the engine oil cools and lubricates the supercharger gears and bearings. When changing your oil, remove and clean the oil inlet fitting and strainer. For severe duty or racing, it is suggested that you install an oil cooler and filter. We suggest following the manufacturers recommendations concerning oil type and oil change interval. You can use mineral based, synthetic blend, or full synthetic oils with a Vortech supercharger system as long as the oil meets or exceeds vehicle manufacturer recommendations.

Question

Please explain to me how Nitrous works.

Answer

Nitrous oxide is made up of nitrogen and oxygen. Nitrous breaks down oxygen and releases it thus allowing more fuel to be burned during the combustion process. This in effect causes the increase in power. Nitrous also reduces air intake charge temperatures causing a cooling effect.

Question

Will Nitrous affect my engine reliability?

Answer

It very much depends on the application and the horsepower that you want to produce. It also depends on the type of installation that was done and the components utilised in the installation. If proper factory components are used, and these components do not exceed the ability of the equipment their are used on, there is not unusual extra wear on components.

Question

Which is the best supercharger system that can used within our climate?

Answer

The Vortech supercharger is by far the best supercharger system designed for the lower pressure levels.
