The TECHCO Reverse-Revolution Twin Screw Supercharger™ is TECHCO’s flagship new product, will completely revolutionize supercharger design. “Our Design of the (TECHCO) Twin Screw Supercharger, is not merely further innovation in supercharging, but is truly a revolutionary advancement on Supercharger Design and application. We’ve taken all of our expertise in supercharger design and created a new product that provides superior power and performance on all levels.” Says John Spruill, Vice President of Engineering for TECHCO. “We designed innovation into every aspect of the new (TECHCO) Supercharger, from the Patent Pending new A-Frame (Dual) Intercooler configuration with Extruded Aluminum 6061-T6 Housing, to the all new 3.0L Reverse Rotation Screws with 6061-T6 Rotor Housing with fully integrated Bypass System, and Long, High Flow Runners. It’s like nothing else on the market today.” Says Billy Tally, Chief Technical Officer for TECHCO.

Nuts and Bolts of The TECHCO Reverse-Revolution Twin Screw Supercharger
What makes the TECHCO Reverse-Revolution Twin Screw Supercharger so revolutionary is the unique design (Patent Pending), which optimizes airflow efficiency throughout. Incoming air is fed into the front of the supercharger, not the back like conventional designs. This ensures that the incoming air has minimal turns, eliminating restrictions, before entering into the supercharger housing. Additionally, without the need for a complex inlet tube, the largest possible orifice size is maintained, maximizing air flow efficiencies. The air then flows into the lobes of the Reverse-Revolution asymmetric multi-lobe compressor screws, where it is compressed, not merely moved, as in other forms of supercharging. The compressed air then flows into the intercooler housing which houses (2) intercoolers mounted in an A-Frame configuration to ensure the airflow is evenly distributed to each runner bank. The Patent Pending Twin Intercooler design results in higher cooling capacity and greater thermal efficiencies as the cooling water only has to pass through the intercoolers once, keeping the charge air cool. A further benefit of the front Inlet Design is the additional package space above the supercharger that is used for long high flow Intake Runners, which increases low end torque.

The resulting design of The TECHCO Reverse-Revolution Twin Screw Supercharger allows air to move through the supercharger quickly and efficiently, without significant heat buildup, and at the highest resulting airflow volume at low boost output. The performance result is maximized horsepower and torque output.

yes, as soon as one available...

[mustang fanatic]

The Parnelli Jones isn't supercharged

[06RedfireGT]

Link doesn't work.

[usafimj]

Hmm......wonder what it looks like

[TruBluScreamer]

Ive heard about these things..... My dad wants one for his SRT 300c this is a pic of the Dodge version.... Looks pretty sick and i would imagine the ford one wont differ too terribly much!! IF you go to TECHCO International - Mustang Performance Parts there is some more info on there price is a little on the eek side!!!

[05roush0090]

I just heard of this the other day. conincedence.

[tribaltek]

It's pretty... but not $7k pretty.

[TruBluScreamer]

I second that!!!!

For $7K i'd rather get the Saleen Supershaker or Whipple HO for $6K

[chad05gt]

It'll make other twin screws second rate IF it delivers; anyone can write up and post a pretty picture... jury will be out on this for a while.

No matter what... good news.

[2006greyGT]

I'll stick to a proven winner...

Saleen makes great blowers that are great quality.

It sounds like an awesome set up. We will have to wait and see what it does

[UrbanRedneck]

isn't the S7 turbocharged?

it's not a saleen blower. it's from those that designed the fi for cars such as the s7, s281, and the parnelli jones car. (and yes the pj car isn't blown)

i also would rather have a tried and true blower. such as the kb. for 7g's i'll take kb's new one or whipples 3.4L. just cuz whipple doesn't make a kit for the 3V doesn't mean you can't use it.

I guess what I'm trying to say is it shouldn't be junk. Steve Saleen took a lot with him when he left and I'm willing to bet R&D and engineering type stuff...

[302svt]

Sounds good but too much money.

i would say you're right, but i still wouldn't buy the first generation that comes out. they always have issues no matter who makes or designs them. no matter what the product.

Any FI done RIGHT will be 10K... the cooling system upgrade and EVERYTHING is there in the Techco kit. Thus, very competitively priced.

IF, IF it all makes it to mass production...

The KB was the new kid on the block once too...
