The
shape of the "snorkel" opening
for the intake air tube is
designed for maximum flow.
And to maintain a constant
volume of air as the air flows
toward the rear of the engine,
the housing widens and lattens-out
over the engine. All bends
are opened up to provide smooth
airflow.
The blower assembly contains twin screws, which push 2300
cc of air per rotation As a result, the supercharger turns
slower for equivalent boost, producing lower stress and lower
air charge temperatures. The higher supercharger efficiency,
along with the lower air charge temperatures, allows for
an intercooler that is smaller, lighter and more compact
and which has virtually zero pressure drop from inlet-to-outlet
side.
It
features an integrated bypass
for low-speed running; when
you are driving at low speeds
and don't require boost,
the bypass helps reduce heat
buildup in the engine. The
Saleen design provides for
optimal runner length, resulting
in more torque and better
low-end drivability.
