Description And Operation
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
A supercharger is an air compressor that increases the pressure or density of air supplied to the engine. This gives each intake cycle of the engine more oxygen, letting it burn more fuel and do more work, increasing power.
The twin-screw supercharger has integral charge air coolers and an integrated 64 mm electronic bypass valve to regulate boost pressure. The supercharger has a drive ratio of 2.36:1 and a maximum speed of 14, 600 RPM. The one-way clutch de-coupler improves refinement without detracting from the engine noise. The supercharger intakes air through a 92 mm throttle body.
