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.
16v: 154 kW (209 PS; 207 bhp) at 6,300 rpm — VW Golf Mk2 Limited 4WD (this version was a homologation special, and does not appear in any official parts catalogues) reference Sly, James (January–February 1990). "Development of the G-60". VW & Porsche magazine. pp. 52– 53.

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.
Distancing the supercharger from the engine via a mounting bracket greatly reduces heat transfer from the engine to the supercharger during operation. By comparison, a twin screw or roots blower which is nested in the center (valley) of the engine, will absorb heat (heat soak) during operation due to thermal transfer from the engine block and ...
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.
In an internal combustion engine, a supercharger compresses the intake gas, forcing more air into the engine in order to produce more power for a given displacement. The current categorization is that a supercharger is a form of forced induction that is mechanically powered (usually by a belt from the engine's crankshaft ), as opposed to a ...
The Marshall superchargers were initially manufactured by Marshall Drew and Co Ltd in the 1930s and marketed for increasing car performance. [2] Toward the end of the 1930s Marshall superchargers were listed by Sir George Godfrey and Partners (Holdings) Ltd of Hanworth, Middlesex, made by them to the designs of J.W. Marshall. [3]
