Hi everybody, I am new on Team BHP. Few days back i was browsing through internet and suddenly got in my mind to search about superchargers. Then i found a website
Vortech Superchargers. While surfing through the site, I found shocking stuff there. There were about 8 different kinds of superchargers out which 7 can be applied to a stock car and the last one for DRAG RACING. Let me explain you something all about them:-
SUPERCHARGERS: Vortech V-1 Series Supercharger
Utilizing precision ground gears to drive its impeller, the V-1 incorporates the strength of superior design with the quality and testing that make Vortech famous. As a result of our precise drive system, the impeller requires minimum clearance which contributes to Vortech's superior efficiency and durability. The heavy duty (H/D) V-1 configurations include high-speed ball bearings, ideal for race applications, i.e. cog pulley/Gilmer drive. From the race ready T-Trim to the high-efficiency Si-Trim, the V-1 is a versatile supercharger for the most demanding enthusiast.

SUPERCHARGERS: Vortech V-2 Series Supercharger
The V-2 SQ model is considered the new generation among superchargers. Highly advanced computer designed gears feature an optimized helical profile which allows for near silent operation while providing superior performance. All V-2 SQ units feature a 3.6:1 internal step-up ratio and are direct bolt-on replacements for our V-1 units.

SUPERCHARGERS: Vortech V-3 Series Supercharger - Helical gear design with 3.6:1 step-up
- The V-3 supercharger can be installed into any existing Vortech V-1, V-2, V-4, V-5 or V-7 bracketry
- Includes remote fluid drain hose (attached to supercharger) that allows for simple fluid changes without removing the supercharger from the vehicle
- A ventilated gear case assembly eliminates any potential internal pressure issues that are currently associated with non-vented competitive designs
- Integrated gear case baffling for proper oil control
- Simple oil slinger design does not require separate shaft or bearing set. This provides proper fluid delivery to gears and bearings
- Superchargers are factory pre-filled with our special synthetic fluid.
- Integrated dipstick for simple fluid checks

SUPERCHARGERS: Vortech V-4 Series Supercharger
The V-4 is designed with the serious racer in mind. When operating at 12 PSIG, this model is nearly twice as efficient as a Roots-type supercharger. The V-4 is capable of producing CFM flow levels in the 2,000 range, up to 32 PSIG of boost and horsepower potential up to 1,400. All units feature our exclusive D-port volute for improved efficiency and utilize extra wide, heavy duty design gears. The heavy duty (H/D) configuration includes high-speed, ceramic hybrid ball bearings, ideal for race applications, i.e. cog pulley/Gilmer drive

SUPERCHARGERS: Vortech V-5 Series Supercharger
Designed for use on 1.6 to 4 liter engines, the V-5 features a low-surge threshold for smaller displacement, high-revving engines. As with all other Vortech superchargers, development and testing took place in a state-of-the-art test cell (compliant to SAE Standard J-1723). This efficient compressor design requires less horsepower to drive the impeller and provides cooler discharge temperatures. These features, matched with our exclusive D-port volute, allow for more available boost throughout the operating range, especially at higher engine speeds.

SUPERCHARGERS: Vortech V-7 Series Supercharger
The V-7 Series combines the advanced technology and race-proven performance of the V-4 model and fits most of our existing mounting bracketry. The V-7 is designed for vehicles with highly modified engines and extreme CFM/boost demands. All units feature our exclusive D-port volute for improved efficiently and require the use of a Vortech Racing Bypass Valve. The heavy duty (H/D) configuration includes high speed, ceramic hybrid ball bearings, ideal for race applications, i.e. cog pulley/Gilmer drive.
Max Speed:60000 RPMMax Boost:27 PSIMax Flow:1450 CFMMax Power:1000 HPPeak Efficiency:75%
SUPERCHARGERS: Vortech V-9 Series Supercharger
The V-9 Series is ideal for applications where space around the engine is a consideration, as with GM F-Body and Sport Compact vehicles. Designed for engines ranging in size from 1.2L to 6.0L, the V-9 features our AirAssist/Power Drain lubrication system, exclusive D-port volute for improved efficiency and a V-band volute clamp for easy under-hood packaging.
Max Speed:52000 RPMMax Boost:13.5 PSIMax Flow:750 CFMMax Power:550 HPPeak Efficiency:72%
SUPERCHARGERS: Vortech V-20 Series Supercharger
The V-20 series supercharger brings new technology in the form of a modular, super-robust drive system to meet the abuses found in the high-powered (1,000+ HP) segment of drag racing. Several unique, patentable features were incorporated into this new design, offering unprecedented strength and durability with improved manufacturability. The V-20 series can accommodate most existing Vortech compressor stages as well as new ones under development. The V-24 and V-27 are currently shipping.
