More engine power and torque always sounds tempting to many car enthusiasts, as a boosted engine can achieve more power well beyond the limit. This can be achieved by using a supercharger, made by ProCharger, which is a proven leader in the manufacturing of forced induction systems. A supercharger compresses the air above atmospheric pressure, which is then forced into the engine; more air means more fuel which results in a massive increase in engine power and efficiency. If you have been thinking about buying a ProCharger to boost your vehicle’s power for your needs, here are some of the things that you should know before making that purchase.

ProCharger and Power Gain

ProCharger engineers utilize the most advanced technology to design and manufacture outstanding and innovative superchargers that deliver high quality, and maximum performance designed specifically for your needs. ProCharger’s patented, exclusive, self-contained, gear-driven centrifugal superchargers eliminate tapping into your oil pan, run at cooler temps, and produce more power than competitors’ products. ProCharger’s impellers are created with aircraft grade 7075 T-6 aluminum alloy for tremendous strength and performance, which in turn allows increased boost levels and superior overall performance to other superchargers on the market.

What’s in a ProCharger Kit?

All of ProCharger kits feature matched superchargers and intercoolers to provide the coolest charge air temperatures available. You should know that the ProCharger system design locates both the supercharger and intercooler away from the motor, avoiding the detonation causing and power-robbing heat associated with engine top mounting or an exhaust interface. ProCharger also provides all tubing, brackets, hoses, and hardware. Where needed, fuel pumps and reprogramming for your car’s systems are provided to ensure maximum results and reliability. Rest assured that the system passes through a rigorous series of performance testing hurdles, it is only available in the market after it is proven on the dyno, in the lab, at the track, and on the street.

Supercharger Technology

ProCharger is a pioneer in making its self-contained (SC) supercharger models which are the first and the only gear-driven centrifugal superchargers to feature self-lubrication, and contain the industry’s most advanced technology. In addition to the patented self-contained oiling design, self-contained ProChargers also feature the highest step-up ratio, exclusive billet impellers, and the industry’s only billet gearcases for superior rigidity, sealing, and appearance. ProCharger’s superchargers are durable and deliver the highest performance and power of its competitors in the market. In addition to that, the supercharger design eliminates the need for oil lines and punching a hole in the oil pan, thanks to its exclusive oil pump. This pump aerates the oil to create the oil mist lubrication required for the ProCharger’s precision bearings and gears. This oil pump (aeration pump) does not require priming at start-up, and oil changes are required only every 6,000 miles.

Additionally, instead of being forced to utilize engine oil or the grease in sealed bearings, ProCharger’s are lubricated with an extremely high-quality synthetic oil that is specifically engineered for high-speed use and produces the least amount of frictional heat and parasitic load. The self-contained design also eliminates the heat that is transferred to a supercharger by engine oil in oil-fed applications and avoids the risk of clogged supercharger oil lines, oil drainage problems, or engine oil leakage. By combining advanced supercharger transmission design with the highest quality oil, ProCharger’s produce a larger net power gain because they run cooler and consume less power, in addition to that they feature an internal step-up ratio of 4.10:1 for improved belt tracking and traction, and maximum low-rpm boost and power.

ProCharger Complete Systems

• ProCharger systems are sold 100% complete unless noted otherwise.
• High Output (HO) Intercooled Systems are designed for operation on vehicles with stock engines and stock exhaust (cat-back ok).
• Stage II Intercooled Systems are designed to accommodate higher power levels, but tuning is provided for stock vehicles only.
• Tuning is available for Systems only, and only for vehicles with stock engines with the stock exhaust, as well as most “cat-back” exhaust systems.
• Complete systems with tuning require a minimum of US 91 octane gas.
• All engine and exhaust modifications must be noted at the time of order. ProCharger is not responsible for boost levels or quality of tune for modified applications.
• Vehicles built for export and other non-US spec vehicles may require custom tuning/calibrations.
• ProCharger systems for stock vehicles are emissions legal in all 50 states as noted on the Carb EO page HERE.
• Due to variability among OEM computers and the prevalence of custom modifications, dyno tuning may be required; stock vehicles with cat-back exhaust systems may also require custom tuning.

Intercooling Technology

Engineered with large-volume air plenums, ProCharger’s air-to-air intercoolers utilize a highly effective and extremely durable bar and plate intercooler core design that provides large surface areas for superior levels of heat dispersion.  ProCharger intercoolers typically feature best-in-class effectiveness of 70-80%.

ProCharger Tuner Kits

• Tuner Kits exclude fuel components and computer programming but are otherwise identical to complete systems.
• HO Intercooled Tuner Kits are designed for stock and modified vehicles.
• Stage II Intercooled Tuner Kits accommodate higher power levels and are designed for both stock and modified vehicles.
• Race kits and components are intended for off-road/racing use only and may require modifications, trimming, and/or additional components.
• Tuner kits are intended to be dyno-tuned by professional tuners/ installers with custom programming.

Note: 

• The following systems meet California emissions regulations and are available for street use. Tuner Kits are NOT legal for street use in California (These products are intended for racing or off-road applications only.)
