Supercharger?

[Carlriddle]

Anyone have any know hows on using a supercharger on bike engine as opposed to a turbo?  Looks like you could push a ZX10 from 155hp to around 225hp  with 8-9 lbs boost.  No intercooler, no lag, little easier to tune about same money.  Guy has a larger unit that will go to 15lb but no dyno since it wont fit under factory body work.  I wouldn't used any body work so that wouldn't be a problem.  But that would require some compression work??

Would not need to use the whole 15 PSI.  Set a blow off valve to about 8PSI and go ho.  Just be sure you have your diaper on and pined down with great big safety pin's. You mite fill it up.

Pros/cons. supercharger pros are pretty much what you said. Cons is that it's always "on". You will have some low speed drivability issues most likely and since it's always "on" you will suffer much lower fuel economy. Pros of a t'bo are you can drive it off boost with all the nice "table manners " of a stocker but when you pissit off-boost- you got an animal same as a supercharger. Personally I'll take a well designed t'bo system over a supercharger but like most things, we all have different opinions and objectives. Must be why both types of boosting engines are still used huh. If you like/need the instant on of a supercharger then a t'bo will disappoint you.
