Procharger is a supercharger. It is a brand of centrifugal superchargers.
Vortech and Procharger make a kit for SS models v8.
Procharger makes supercharger systems for cars, often used in professional racing. Procharger systems can be purchased or ordered through auto body shops or Procharger's own website.
i use superchargers4less.com get a procharger setup
Depends on the supercharger, procharger and B&M have their own oils(self contained units). others use pressurized oil feed from the engine.
I think your question is which has more power roots supercharger or a centifugal supercharger. Both are superchargers. A roots type will have the same boost from 1000 rpm and up, the procharger gains boost with rpm so it won't have full boost till over 4000 rpm. both have a purpose. A turbocharger is superior to both. A roots and a procharger both use engine horsepower to turn, a turbocharger uses waste heat and the exhaust velocity to operate. the roots is better for lowend performance, the procharger is best for upper rpm performance. the turbocharger is more complicated but it beats both hands down when setup right with a innercooler.
On a centrifugal supercharger(Paxton, vortech, procharger-yes. On a whipple /eaton- no because they are located between the throttle body and engine, BOV only work when the throttle body is between the supercharger and engine.
ProCharger was created in 1993.
Don't know what vehicle you have or where you are. I would contact/email pro charger and they would let you know. Any dyno shop should be able to tune it.
TURBO!!!!
a supercharger is run by belt,turbocharger is run by ex. gases.supercharger is better ........actually it depends on the motor and what kind of turbo/supercharger you put on it,so neither is technically better than the other
This all depends on what type of supercharger it is. If you have an Eaton supercharger it is possible that it might be a pressed on pulley. If this is the case then you will need a pulley puller. If the supercharger is a Vortech, Paxton, or ProCharger they all use key ways. So all you need to do is take the bolt off and the pulley might come off. Some times the pulley will not slide off so a pulley puller will work. Or you can heat up the shaft which will cause the pulley to expand and it will then slide right off. DO NOT use a screw driver or any force to pry it off. This can cause damage to the bearings.
Yes, a Blow Off Valve can function on a supercharger. Basically a BOV is a surge valve. It prevents the excess air from going back into the supercharger once the throttle body closes. Most superchargers will come with a by pass valve which is almost identical to a BOV. They both are used to vent the excess air out of the discharge tube so you do not get compressor surge. They are not 'basically' the same... they function differently. You should NEVER use a BLOW off Valve on any supercharger, only use a surge valve. There is a difference, look it up. One is normally closed except when there is vacuum on the manifold at which point its open. Blow off valves will slowly damage any centrifugal and should only be used on a turbo system.... Call procharger if you like. Terms are usually mis-used... simiar purpose but different approach. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// You CAN use a blow off valve on a supercharger. Its all in how your system is set up to handle a BOV and how your BOV is set up(spring pressure) to handle the supercharger. Procharger was the place that told me to switch to a Blow off valve.
