The M-1SC and M-3SC ProCharger models are the first and only gear-driven
centrifugal superchargers to feature self-lubrication. These SC ProCharger
models share many of the design elements which deliver the record-setting
durability and performance of the M-3 and M-4 ProCharger competition
superchargers, and are also designed for quiet operation. With their
rugged design, SC ProChargers are the only self-contained superchargers
durable enough to be backed with a 3 year warranty and powerful enough
to fully harness the benefits of intercooling. The patented design
eliminates the need for oil lines and punching a hole in the oil pan,
thanks to an exclusive oil pump, which aerates the oil to create the
oil mist lubrication required by the precision bearings and gears.
This oil pump (aeration pump) does not require priming at start-up,
and oil changes are required only every 100 hours (except for 10 hours
after initial break-in period). The combination of the premium synthetic
oil utilized in SC models and the advanced SC transmission design
results in less parasitic load and lower operating temperatures than
any supercharger which utilizes the engine oil system, and these advantages
enable SC models to produce even more power. SC ProChargers also features
an internal step-up ratio of 4.10:1 for improved belt tracking and
traction, and improved performance and belt life.
Thanks to this new technology, the industry leading power and durability
of gear-driven centrifugal superchargers is
now available without tapping into the engine oil system. The M-1SC
and M-3SC supports up to 850 and 975 horsepower, respectively, and
have been rigorously tested for load and continuous duty. These SC
models are available as an upgrade to the oil-fed M-1 and M-3 at the
time of initial purchase; the extremely popular current ProCharger
line will continue to be available as well. |
