An Eaton M62 Roots-type supercharger is visible at the front of this Ecotec LSJ engine in a 2006 Saturn Ion Red Line.. The Roots-type blower is simple and widely used. It can be more effective than alternative superchargers at developing positive intake manifold pressure (i.e., above atmospheric pressure) at low engine speeds, making it a popular choice for passenger automobile applications.
The cars were not pre-assembled by Sterling Sports Cars but were intended to be assembled by the purchaser or by a third-party. The Sterling was originally designed to be fitted to a VW Beetle floor pan. A tube frame was engineered as a test mule to find out the capabilities of a mid-engine design using the Subaru powerplant.

An animation of the operation of a scroll-type supercharger. Air is confined between the two spirals and is compressed as it is forced towards the centre. In automotive application, the spirals would have far fewer turns. The G-Lader is a scroll-type supercharger used in various Volkswagen Passenger Cars models.
Also in 1878, Scottish engineer Dugald Clerk designed the first supercharger which was used with an engine. [16] This supercharger was used with a two-stroke gas engine. [17] Gottlieb Daimler received a German patent for supercharging an internal combustion engine in 1885. [18] Louis Renault patented a centrifugal supercharger in France in 1902 ...
