Abstract:
1. A supercharger system for supercharging a vehicle engine, said supercharger system comprising: a lower intake manifold assembly, said lower intake manifold assembly including a plate situated between a first lower intake manifold adapter for attaching to said vehicle engine and a second lower intake manifold adapter for attaching to said vehicle engine, said plate adapted to receive a supercharger on a bottom side of said plate, said first lower intake manifold having a first plurality of passageways and said second lower intake manifold having a second plurality of passageways; and a cooling system including an internal heat exchanger situated over said plate; wherein said internal heat exchanger cools compressed air received from said supercharger, wherein said compressed air from said supercharger flows through said first plurality of passageways in said first lower intake manifold adapter and said second plurality of passageways in said second lower intake manifold adapter, wherein each of said first plurality of passageways has a first opening at a top surface of said first lower intake manifold adapter and a second opening at a bottom surface of said first lower intake manifold adapter, wherein said first opening is larger than said second opening.
