Introducing Hamburger'sAll-NewCentrifugal-Type
SUPERCHARGER KITS
Specialty Vehicle Engineering, our parent company has been manufacturing performance parts and specialty vehicles for GM dealers and performance enthusiasts for over 30 years. From 1996-2002 we built over 65,000 Camaro SS, RS, and Firebird-based WS-6, Firehawk and Comp-TA specialty vehicles as GM’s Tier One supplier. As of the 2019 model year we’ve also built over 1000 supercharged Camaros, Full-Size GM Trucks and SUV specialty vehicles. When it comes to superchargers, we’ve been installing aftermarket superchargers for more than 10 years, so we recognized the need for an OEM-quality supercharger kit in the aftermarket offering quiet operation, improved performance and compact size. We’ve been able to incorporate all of these improvements in the new supercharger kits we now offer for most late-model GM, Dodge, and Jeep vehicles. Through extensive design work and testing, we created a kit that results in easier installation, better serviceability, and best of all increased performance. The new HAMBURGER’S Supercharger kits for GM, Dodge and Jeep applications will impress you from the moment you open the box, to the first time you start your engine. | WHY CONSIDER USING ONE OF OUR OEM-QUALITY SUPERCHARGER KITS? 1 – MORE COMPACT THAN AFTERMARKET CENTRIFUGAL AND POSITIVE DISPLACEMENT SUPERCHARGER KITS 2 – MORE QUIET AND EFFICIENT THAN AFTERMARKET SUPERCHARGER KITS BECAUSE OF THE STATE-OF- THE-ART TRACTION DRIVE THAT’S INCLUDED 3 – MORE FUEL EFFICIENT THAN ALL AFTERMARKET SUPERCHARGER KITS 4 – INCLUDES SELF-CONTAINED OILING SYSTEM WITH 2 YEAR OR 24,000 MILE OIL CHANGE INTERVALS 5 – EASE OF INSTALLATION 6 – CENTRIFUGAL SUPERCHARGERS ARE MORE EFFICIENT THAN POSITIVE DISPLACEMENT UNITS 7 – MEETS OR EXCEEDS OEM STANDARDS FOR COMPACTNESS, EFFICIENCY, SILENT OPERATION 8 – EMISSION LEGAL IN ALL 50 STATES (NOT INCLUDING TUNER KITS.

1 – MORE COMPACT THAN AFTERMARKET SUPERCHARGERS
2 – MORE QUIET AND EFFICIENT
The OEM-style superchargers we offer use a state-of-the-art fluid traction drive system to drive the impeller, rather than the traditional gear drive system aftermarket companies use. This allows the superchargers we offer to spin higher (impeller speeds up to 90,000 rpm vs. aftermarket units @ 60,000 rpm), along with virtually no noise or “gear whine” that is typical of other superchargers. This Traction Drive System transmits power through the friction created between its planetary rollers and a unique hydraulic fluid, rather than through the gear drives aftermarket companies use. To ensure optimum performance, we use a unique traction fluid in the system that is designed to increase viscosity under high surface pressures. | This fluid gives the rollers additional “grip” and prevents slippage by increasing the friction between the planetary rollers, while also cooling and protecting the system. This traction drive system combined with the latest technology in centrifugal compression provides greater efficiency and lower noise, giving the superchargers we offer much higher efficiency compared to aftermarket centrifugal or positive displacement superchargers, along with very quiet operation. |
3 – MORE FUEL EFFICIENT
Positive displacement superchargers can have significant parasitic loads, a characteristic that decreases fuel economy at light throttle driving conditions, while the centrifugal superchargers we offer will not adversely affect fuel economy under light throttle driving conditions. | By using a physically smaller supercharger that still meets the airflow demands of the engine, we reduce the system inertia, which results in less wasted power spinning the compressor. |
4 – SELF-CONTAINED TRACTION OIL SYSTEM
The superchargers we offer use a dedicated oil system that ensures both lubrication, cooling, and actual torque transfer. The traction oil is circulated by an internal oil pump through the traction drive and the external oil circuit. The oil system contains an oil canister, oil cooler, filter, hoses and fittings. The traction oil has an incredible life of 24,000 miles or 2 years before it needs changing, compared to other centrifugal superchargers that have a required 6,000 mile oil change interval. This means less time in the shop and more time on the road. |
5 – EASE OF INSTALLATION
Designed and engineered with easy installation in mind, our supercharger kits utilize the highest quality materials and OEM-style wire harnesses and connectors to ensure a quick and professional looking installation. | One of our supercharger kits typically installs in less than a day for the first time installer. |
6 – MORE EFFICIENT
A cooler intake air charge produces more horsepower! The centrifugal supercharger kits we offer utilize the most efficient intercoolers for all of our vehicle applications. Our intercoolers are designed to pull out the maximum amount of heat possible, providing lower intake air temperatures, compared to aftermarket superchargers. With a positive displacement supercharger, the amount of heat that | is removed from the air charge is typically limited by the size of the heat exchanger that is able to fit inside the supercharger manifold, as well as the flow rate of the coolant passing though it. Because we do not have the same limitations that a positive displacement supercharger has regarding heat exchanger size and location, we can maximize heat exchanger size in our kits, as well as utilizing larger, higher flowing coolant pumps and hoses to pull out the most heat possible. |
7 – MEETS OR EXCEEDS OEM STANDARDS
These supercharger kits were designed to meet OEM standards for compactness, efficiency, and silent operation. Their compact design allows superiorlow engine speed performance, compared to aftermarket centrifugal units. | Where the efficiency of roots and screw type superchargers fall off at higher rpms, the superchargers we offer continue to increase power at higher rpms, while the traction drive allows for quiet operation. |
8 – EMISSION LEGAL IN ALL 50 STATES (EXCLUDING TUNER KITS)
Emission compliance is very important to Hamburger’s Superchargers, so our engineering team has worked hard to ensure that our supercharger kits meet the compliance standards set by C.A.R.B. (California Air Resources Board) for those vehicles we offer a supercharger kit and PCM calibration for. Our supercharger kits are 50-state emission legal and are covered by the appropriate E.O. numbers. | The supplied calibrations are intended for stock vehicles with or without a cat-back exhaust system, but with no other engine modifications made. For those individuals wanting to push the performance limits of their engine, and use other aftermarket performance parts, we also offer a "tuner" kit which comes without a calibration. Our Tuner kits require a custom calibration which can be provided by a local tuning shop with calibration tuning capabilities. Tuner kits are not 50 -state emission legal and not available for sale in California. |
9 – STANDARD 3 YEAR/36,000 MILE LIMITED PARTS WARRANTY
Hamburger’s Superchargers warrants its supercharger kits and components to be free from defects in material and workmanship for 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. |
10 – NEW STANDARD 3 YEAR/36,000 MILE LIMITED POWERTRAIN WARRANTY
Hamburger’s Superchargers Optional Limited Powertrain Warranty covers the vehicle’s engine, transmission and rear axle assembly, for a period of 3 years (from date of purchase from Hamburger’s Superchargers) or up to a total of 36,000 miles (as shown on the odometer), whichever comes first. | Not available on Stage II kits or Tuner kits. |
11 – ENGINEERED AS A COMPLETE KIT
All of the superchargers we offer are designed and engineered as a complete kit. They include everything necessary to ensure a clean and simple installation. All installation hardware is included and parts are organized into individual sub-assemblies in the boxes they are packed in. | Our detailed installation manual will walk you through the install process step by step. |
12 – DESIGNED IN 3D CAD
Our supercharger kits are completely engineered and designed in 3D CAD to ensure precise fit and maximum performance. All of our mounting brackets are machined from aircraft quality 6061-T6 ½” thick aluminum. All of our hard air tubes are rotationally molded using automotive grade composite resins,and soft air tubes are manufactured using high temperature reinforced silicone. Our intercoolers are optimally sized for their respective applications, and are vacuum brazed and pressure tested during manufacturing to ensure the highest quality. We utilize OEM quality double bearing idlers where necessary, for maximum reliability, as well as OEM style connectors and wire harnesses for an easy, clean, and reliable installation. |

Oil level checking and maintenance
Check the oil level on a regular basis using the correct oil level checking procedure as described below. (Only use the oil called out at the bottom of this document, the use of ANY other oil will void any warranty and will cause supercharger failure)
- Rev the engine to 2000-3000 rpm and check the oil level while the engine is running.
- The correct oil level is between the min and max marking of the dipstick measured with the thread of the cap fully engaged. Check the oil level regularly.
Maintain your system! The oil and filter change interval of the superchargers is 24,000 miles or two years, whichever comes first
Important! Always keep the oil level between minimum and maximum. Overfilling the canister may cause oil leaks from the oil canister and too little oil may cause severe damage to the supercharger!
Oil and filter service
Please see below procedure for correct oil and filter replacement:Initial start up after oil change
To ensure proper traction fluid circulation and adequate lubrication, it is important to prime the oil system before the engine is started for the first time after the oil change
The priming process is done most easily with all oil components in place and installed.
1. Carefully fill the oil canister with traction fluid without exceeding the maximum mark on the dip stick. The oil level is measured with the thread of the dip stick cap fully engaged
2. The banjo bolt at the oil line attached to the supercharger inlet marked “oil inlet” should be loosened a couple of turns allowing air to escape the system
3. Carefully apply pressurized air to the oil filler hole at the top of the canister. Do not pressurize the system to more than one bar or 15psi. Use a rag or a sponge as a seal between the air gun and the canister
4. When oil appears at the “oil inlet”, tighten the banjo bolt and the system is primed
5. Carefully top up the oil canister to the maximum mark on the dip stick
6. Turn on the engine and rev it to 2-3000 rpm and make sure the oil starts flowing by visual inspection, looking into the oil canister. Do not rev the engine more than specified as this can cause damage to the supercharger
7. Let the engine idle for 5 minutes while checking the oil system for leaks
8. Check the oil level using the correct procedure (see page 1)
