Pete M Posted May 20, 2020 Author Share Posted May 20, 2020 yes. it is does appear to be a centrifugal super charger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftpiercecracker1 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Centrifugal SC are usually driven by the belt arent they? This would be the first I've ever seen or heard of a direct/gear driven SC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted May 20, 2020 Author Share Posted May 20, 2020 I don't know what all is inside the aluminum, but it looks to be very much inline with the crank, so I'd guess that you're right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMO413 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 That would definitely be a crank driven supercharger. https://www.procharger.com/crankdrive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derf Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Lots of ways to skin a cat. Most superchargers are belt driven to deal with packaging in a production car that only has so much room to work with and a bunch of necessary accessories in the way. When you're building your car specifically for the drag strip with a wide open engine bay, you have more options. Also, that's one huge supercharger, relatively speaking. I imagine getting a belt big enough to drive it would be a challenge. Besides, the lack of front accessories means you don't have all of that stuff in the way.
