If more power is what you crave…Whipple Superchargers has the solution…heart-stopping acceleration, complete bolt-on packages, emissions legal supercharger kits that boosts power up to 60%. By utilizing the Whipple Twin Screw Supercharger, we provide the largest power gains, while maintaining safe, trouble-free operation. The Whipple Charger gives you the unique combination of maximum power at low rpm's for incredible drive-ability while still providing ultra high efficiency for top-end horsepower. Just squeeze the throttle and the engine responds immediately, from idle to redline., the thrill ride never stops!

The twin-screw supercharger was originally invented in the 1930's by Mr. Alf Lysholm who was then Chief Engineer of SRM (Svenska Rotor Maskiner AB). The twin-screw design was developed to fill the tremendous voids the centrifugal, turbo and roots superchargers have. This concept was intended to meet the requirements of a high average efficiency under most varied conditions of pressure and speed, a high maximum efficiency - preferable above 85% - with small bulk, low weight and also suitable for direct drive. This concept lead to the development of the twin-screw supercharger which was compact and light, had a very high efficiency over almost all varied conditions of pressure and speed, and an incredibly high maximum efficiency. This concept became a reality in the late 1930's and early 1940's when the Lysholm twin-screw supercharger was produced. Because of high building cost, the screw compressor did not find its way to OEM use on internal combustion engines, but industrial applications for air compressors, refrigeration and air-conditioning.

With technology ever increasing, the screw-type compressors price to manufacture has come down to a competitive level for the internal combustion engines and is distributed throughout North America by Whipple Industries. Art Whipple of Whipple Industries quickly made use of the major benefits of the screw compressor by placing it on the throttle body injected GM 350ci. The results were outstanding, no more turbo lag, no more hot air, just pure power. Since that time, the Whipple Charger has become a household name throughout the performance community for providing the most technologically advanced supercharger kits on the market.

• Incredibly high adiabatic and volumetric efficiencies

• Very flat efficiency curve combined with positive displacement design gives the most achievable torque of any method
• Instant boost
• A true compressor
• Direct drive from the crankshaft
• Compact and lightweight design
• Virtually silent operation
• Low temperature increases during operation
• Very little power consumption
• Unique combination of low rpm torque and high rpm horsepower due to the screw compressor design
• Have the ability to run from 1 to 60 lbs. of boost
  

If you’re interested in building your own supercharger packages for kits to sale to the general public, or if you’re building a custom application, there is no better supercharger than a Whipple Twin Screw Compressor. OEM manufactures utilize positive displacement superchargers due to their incredible throttle response and drive-ability of a big cubic inch motor. When building a system for the consumers, you must provide a very broad power band with a high peak horsepower level, only the screw compressor can give you this. This is due to the high adiabatic (up to 80%) and volumetric efficiency levels (up to 98%). The Eaton/Lysholm screw compressors are the most reliable, dependable, performance-enhancing item ever designed for either low boost or high boost levels.

The screw compressor is by far the best supercharger available today; it’s the only supercharger to provide a positive displacement design for maximum low-end torque as well as high efficiency for maximum top-end horsepower. No other supercharger in the world can offer the same unique benefits. Centrifugals and turbos have tremendous lag time during shift points, on-off throttle and off the line boost. Roots-type superchargers have been proven to not be very efficient, especially at higher boost levels. Whipple Superchargers has a variety of screw compressors for all types of applications, anywhere from a 1.2 Liter compressor to the 3.3 Liter compressor. Whipple also has a wide assortment of drive lengths, pulley combinations and bypass valves for all types of applications.
