Features of the Kenne Bell Twin Screw

INTRODUCTION - Our objective at Kenne Bell was to design the very best supercharger kits for cars, trucks and SUV's - kits that would never be obsolete or dated. We feel the more you look, the better we look. While Kenne Bell may not offer the lowest cost system, we do guarantee a top quality brilliantly engineered package that even includes new hi-flo cast aluminum intake manifolds where necessary. Then there's the supercharger itself (low parasitic losses, more HP, "instant boost", single belt drive, quiet low-friction operation, long life, more boost potential, high AE and VE, self contained lubrication etc.). Kenne Bell Kits all offer good looks, quiet operation, no lag-instant full boost throttle response, flat torque curve, gobs of horsepower and torque at any rpm, excellent driveability and internal lubrication.

Finally, there's the prestige of owning and driving the latest and the best. Check out the features, one by one. We have some powerful arguments for our kits. When finished, we think you'll agree that there is no better value. As one magazine writer so aptly stated, "The Kenne Bell Twin Screw kit is a home run in anyone's park!"

SOME KENNE BELL HISTORY - Kenne Bell was formed in 1968, originally specializing in normally aspirated V8 and V6 Buicks. The company has long been recognized as an innovator in high tech performance products, particularly in the area of turbocharging and supercharging. Over the last 33 years, Kenne Bell owned or sponsored Buick's, which were always in the spotlight, setting numerous records in NHRA drag racing. Twice, Kenne Bell cars received "Best Engineered Car Awards." Kenne Bell supplied parts for the Buick Indy pace cars, and worked closely with the Factory on parts development. We also engineered many hi-tech products for the infamous Turbocharged V6 Buick Grand National and the GMC Syclone Truck. Our successes with the D'Alessandro/Kenne Bell "Worlds Fastest and Quickest Single Turbo 231" StreetGN" is legendary. It is credited with being the first Turbo Buick in the 11's, 10's and 9's, winning and/or setting fast time at the 1989, 1990 and 1991 Buick GS Nationals in the hotly contested Turbo Junior Stock Class - testimony to the expertise of Kenne Bell product engineering. In December '94, the D'Alessandro/Kenne Bell Single Turbo Stage 1 Buick made history; the first Single Turbo Stage 1 Buick to run in the 7's (7.99/167.25) - a record that stands to this day.

Today, Kenne Bell specializes and is committed to supercharged performance, offering an extensive line of street and competition hi-tech performance products that compliment our World Class Supercharger Kits.

THE TWIN SCREW AUTOROTOR - It didn't take us long to decide which supercharger concept fit our criteria. The Autorotor had the looks, billet aluminum case, efficiency, durability and performance Kenne Bell demanded. Besides the obvious automotive applications, it had been used for many years in industrial applications to supply clean, oil free air to pressurize the cabins of large commercial airliners, industrial buildings, cold storage facilities, etc. The backbone of the new fuel cell technology is a twin screw compressor. Kenne Bell has used only Autorotor since 1991 and today is the exclusive U.S. Distributor for any and all Ford, Dodge, GM and other applications. We chose this supercharger because of it's low friction - low parasitic loss, long life, sealed bearings, self contained lubrication, high VE and AE, "instant boost", cool air charge, driveability, quiet operation and horsepower-torque advantage. Note: Kenne Bell is in no way associated with the company, Whipple Industries or "Whipplechargers."

APPLICATION - Kenne Bell Kits are 50 State Street Legal. The 5 psi kit (TS1000-5) runs on 92 octane and requires no other changes but what's supplied in the kit. The 8 psi Mustang kits typically demand better fuel and/or ignition retard or a SWITCH CHIP® for retarding. All kits (5-20 psi) utilize the same size supercharger case. Only the rotor profiles or a pulley change is necessary for higher boost levels. Kenne Bell thoroughly tests all products on the street and track with company owned and sponsored cars. Our ongoing development programs are your guarantee that Kenne Bell will continue to lead the pack. Kenne Bell is well experienced in hi-tech turbocharged and supercharged applications, and is the only company to obtain a 50 State Legal CARB Executive Order on both a Supercharger and Turbocharger Kit. Kenne Bell's past racing and performance successes are now legendary. Our expertise and the experience on the track, street and dyno is our customers best assurance of superior quality products.

APPEARANCE - The bold new Kenne Bell Twin Screw Autorotor Kits combine the best of all worlds - the industry's most efficient and sophisticated supercharger, integrated into a serious, yet attractive package that fits under the stock hood and mounts on top of the engine - where a supercharger should be. It not only looks great - some say sinister or "bad" - but it out-performs the others. Yet it looks "factory." Hands down, the class act of superchargers.

MORE HORSEPOWER - 40-100% + increase, depending on the kit, associated components and other engine modifications. Boosts as high as 20 psi for racing-only applications. Perhaps most important is the additional horsepower and torque throughout the rpm range that your engine realizes from the Kenne Bell "instant boost" (no "supercharger lag" or waiting for rpm to build up and develop boost). Some kits include a SWITCH CHIP®, OPTIMODULE or OPTIMIZER ll™ to optimize fuel, spark and transmission operation.

COMPONENTS - Unlike the lower cost centrifugal "blow through" (blows through the stock upper intake manifold via a rubber hose), the Kenne Bell "pull through" design kits include up to two (2) new cast aluminum low restriction inlet manifolds. The supercharger case itself is billet extruded aluminum. So quite often our kits cost a little more.

TORQUE & DRIVEABILITY - Maximum mid-range and low-end torque. No one can touch us in this area. "Instant maximum boost" means instantly more torque and horsepower when you punch it at any rpm above 2000 (even between 500 and 2000 rpm). Now we all know that boost makes torque and horsepower. Therefore, the higher the boost at any engine rpm, the greater the engine output i.e. torque and HP. Torque and horsepower is what makes driving fun. It slams you back in the seat, spins the tires, accelerates the vehicle faster up hills and for passing etc. This is what you pay for. The trick is to get as much torque - and horsepower - throughout the rpm band at both high and low engine rpm. No one has a fatter, flatter torque curve. That's what a twin screw compressor supercharger does for you. It's like riding with a compressed air bottle. Hit the throttle and the stored up compressed air blows maximum boost charge into the engine. The amount of air and boost will depend on how far you depress the accelerator and the engine demand. No "supercharger lag" here. Unlike others that depend on rpm for boost (approx. 1-1.5 psi of boost per 1000 rpm), there's no waiting for the rpm to build with the Kenne Bell supercharger. Just get ready. It develops maximum boost and performance at 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000 or 6000. That is the feeling worth paying for. Remember, you can't enjoy maximum horsepower at any rpm and vehicle speed without maximum boost.

CRUISE - We can cruise our company test vehicles down the freeway in any gear at 2000, 3000, 4000 or 5000 rpm without getting into boost and heating up the engine and burning up excess fuel. Again, boost in the Kenne Bell Autorotor is not a sole function of rpm, but of throttle position.
