Kraftwerks Supercharger

When it comes to forced induction that combines cutting-edge engineering with daily drivability, Kraftwerks has established itself as a leader in the supercharger market. What sets Kraftwerks apart is their exclusive use of the revolutionary Rotrex centrifugal supercharger at the heart of every system they build—a design philosophy that has redefined what enthusiasts can expect from bolt-on forced induction.

Patented Rotrex Traction-Drive Technology

At the core of each Kraftwerks supercharger kit is the revolutionary and patented Rotrex, traction-drive supercharger. Unlike traditional superchargers that rely on gears or lobed rotors, Rotrex's unique traction drive technology transmits power through frictional forces between its rolling elements. This innovative approach delivers several real-world advantages: Rotrex superchargers are renowned for their compact size, high adiabatic efficiency, low vibration, and quiet operation. The result is a forced induction system that runs cooler, fits in tighter engine bays, and requires less maintenance than conventional alternatives.

Linear Power Delivery Without the Lag

One of the most celebrated characteristics of Kraftwerks supercharger systems is their progressive power curve. The Kraftwerks supercharger system provides instant throttle response and a progressive power curve that increases all the way to redline without the typical 'spiking' or 'surging' associated with turbochargers. This unique, more usable power curve results in reduced cylinder pressures, less strain on engine components, and increased reliability. For street-driven vehicles and road racers alike, this translates to predictable throttle response and a broader, more accessible powerband.

Cooler Operation for Greater Reliability

Rotrex superchargers also operate much cooler when compared to turbochargers and other supercharger systems, which reduces the engine's intake air temperature as well as its risk of detonation. Each Kraftwerks kit incorporates a comprehensive thermal management strategy. Each Rotrex unit features its own self-contained oiling system that remains independent of the engine, and its dual-action oil pump supplies traction fluid to the supercharger while the supplied cooler ensures proper fluid temperatures at all times. This independent lubrication system means less heat transfer to the engine oil and more consistent performance during sustained high-load driving.

Complete Supercharger Systems and Race Kits

Kraftwerks offers a range of supercharger solutions to suit different build goals. Their complete bolt-on systems are engineered for popular platforms including Honda Civic Si, S2000, and Ford Mustang GT applications, delivering impressive power gains while retaining factory accessories and drivability. For custom builds and race applications, Kraftwerks provides race kits built around the highly efficient Rotrex C30-94 Supercharger or the larger C38 variants, which give builders the flexibility to design custom intake piping and intercooler setups while still benefiting from precision-machined billet aluminum mounting brackets and all necessary supercharger components.

Whether you're looking for a straightforward power upgrade for your daily driver or planning a high-horsepower build, Kraftwerks supercharger systems deliver the advanced technology and proven performance that serious enthusiasts demand.
