Features

• Next generation supercharger "HKS GT SUPERCHARGER" is the centrifugal supercharger utilizing newly developed torque induction type traction drive system.

• The centrifugal supercharger is very light-weighted, and its discharge noise level is low.

• The traction drive can reduce the gear noise that usually comes from a conventional centrifugal supercharger.  Also, it is enable to increase the speed ratio so the size of the compressor can be reduced.

• The wedge effect torque induction type can obtain the pressing force proportional to the transmission torque and enhance the durability. Also, it enables high efficiency at low load range so the fuel efficiency can be improved to be an environmental friendly supercharger.

HKS has continued to expand the share in the aftermarket in Japan, USA, Europe and Asia with the performance products of Turbocharger mainly. However, every year exhaust gas regulations getting stricter worldwide, especially in the U.S. It’s becoming difficult to clear the exhaust regulation with turbocharger.

The supercharger is crankshaft rotation output system, it doesn’t need for modification of the exhaust side than of the turbocharger, which result in better exhaust gas purification performance and acceleration is better at low to mid RPM.
In addition to these advantages of the traditional supercharger, HKS developed a new product GT Supercharger which eliminated the disadvantages, such as "jam at high rpm", "dimensions and weight of the device" and “mechanical noise". It has achieved both environmental friendly performance and power. It's the next generation system supercharger.
