ABSTRACT:
In one example, a supercharger and air inlet assembly for a V8 engine comprises a supercharger, a pair of air inlet casings, and a top cover, the air inlet casings having outlet ports which align with inlet ports in the cylinder heads. The supercharger has a rotor casing, the upper sides of which extend upwards to form a peripheral wall where each inlet casing is fastened to the rotor casing by setscrews. Each inlet casing is also secured to the rotor casing by another setscrew located between two casing outlet ports. The arrangement allows the use of a relatively simple casting which simplifies manufacture and minimizes thermal stresses.
