Question about Superchargers

Recommended Posts

I have had the Katana 2 on my 2005 Elise for a while, and I notice that on initial acceleration there is quite a bit of lag before it accelerates in a quicker linear fashion.
It almost reminds me of a large turbo car in that way.
Is it possible the SC is worn? I purchased it used and it looked to be in perfect condition. I changed the oil and the screwed had no wear or flaking. I did notice the pulley didn't turn freely without some effort.

I haven't had a lot of experience with SCs, as I have had mostly high HP NA cars. Any input would be appreciated!

I’ve the 280s kit on my 2007 exige and it pulls linearly from the off. Doesn’t sound quite right to me and I’d probably have it looked at, have you spoken to hangar111 about it ?

Part of the benefit of a supercharger is that the power delivery is linear compared to that from a turbo powered car (I don’t want to provoke a debate on which is best!). Certainly doesn’t sound right and would be worth getting it checked out.
