Seeking 'Supercharger' Information?
I'm seeking some technical information regarding the use of a supercharger, namely on a 3.6 liter Pentastar motor.
I believe that a supercharger presents higher pressure, and temperature; thereby creating some additional concerns. It is said that BHP can be increased to 46% while torque can be improved to 30 to 40%.
Some concerns that I have are related to the crankshaft, and drive shaft; accompanied with other internal motor parts which may be affected.
How will a supercharger affect other components: such as drive shaft, crankshaft, valves, back pressure, etc. and what of the VVT? What hardware on the motor would need to be upgraded, and what parts would be affected with the additional usage of a supercharger.
I'm just inquiring on the subject for future reference. Most importantly, what adverse effects would the supercharger bring to the 3.6 liter? All replies are welcome. Thank you very much.
