Always something special on Mugen site...
I suppose 107kw of power and 186 Nm torque is not bad for the power / weight ratio of a Jazz...
Good find blk.

Did anybody notice on hte video that the supercharger looks to be run by a clutch type pulley? Like an air cond. clutch where you can turn it off and on???  |

Superchargers are belt driven and don't run all the time just as turbos don't. The charger kicks in at a certain point. If you had a charger or a turbo why would you want to switch it off all together?

I always thought that superchargers ran all the time. If you 'turn off' a supercharger I would think that it would stop airflow into the engine as the impeller is not spinning and there-by blocking the airflow into the engine.  |

During typical driving conditions, the engine is under boost around 5% of the time, which means the remaining 95% of the time the engine is under vacuum, allowing for better fuel economy and a quieter ride.
So a charger actually sucks more than it blows. Great thing about chargers is no turbo lag.
A bypass valve allows air to flow through to the engine without spinning up the turbine. That little turbine inside can do up to 60,000rpm - amazing.
