General Description

The C38 is a range of centrifugal superchargers for combustion engine applications ranging from 3 to more than 6 litres producing up to 630Hp.



Impeller speeds of up to 90,000rpm are achieved through the patented hi-speed planetary traction gear, which combines small size with exceptional performance and durability.



The excellent efficiency, as well as very low noise and vibration characteristics of these superchargers are state of the art among vehicle forced induction systems.







Application

The C38 range is designed for four stroke gasoline engines with a supercharged output range of 300 to 630 Hp depending on application and trim.



The groundbreaking compact size enables a very flexible supercharger installation particularly on engine applications with tight space and where weight and size is essential.



The supercharger is driven by an 8-ribbed poly V-belt, ensuring a low cost durable and efficient transmission.

For those interested, there was a great write up on these in last months HOT ROD mag. Someone needs to try two or three of these as a big charger in a street twin setup. Paging Piers R&D department??

Piers is working on a real blower with turbo support. Results sound promising
