SUPERCHARGER System Operation

At closed or partially open throttle positions, the bypass valve is fully open, allowing a flow of air from the SC (supercharger)
outlet back to the inlet side. This results in little or no pressure increase across the SC. Progressive opening of the throttle reduces the depression downstream of the electric throttle. This is sensed by the pneumatic actuator, which moves to close
the bypass valve. As the bypass valve closes there is a corresponding increase in the outlet pressure from the SC, which increases engine power output.

NOISE FEEDBACK SYSTEM

Sound waves from the RH (right-hand) intake manifold are filtered by the calibrated orifice in the inlet pipe connection on the
symposer. The sound waves make the paddle oscillate and generate pulsations in the outlet chambers. When the pneumatic
valve is open, the pulsations are transmitted through the outlet pipe and feedback tube to the resonator in the passenger
compartment.

The tuning valve of the noise feedback system receives a power feed from the power distribution box and is connected to
ground through the ECM (engine control module). At lower engine loads and speeds the ECM keeps the ground open circuit and the tuning valve is de-energized closed. Atmospheric pressure is sensed at the pneumatic valve through the vent cap on the
tuning valve, which keeps the pneumatic valve closed and prevents sound from the symposer entering the feedback system.

At higher engine loads and speeds the ECM connects the tuning valve to ground. The tuning valve energizes, blanks off the atmospheric vent and opens the vacuum line between the brake vacuum system and the pneumatic valve. The depression in
the brake vacuum system is sensed at the pneumatic valve, which opens and allows sound from the symposer into the
feedback system.
The status of the pneumatic valve at various engine loads and speeds is given below:

Pneumatic Valve Status

closing with decreasing engine load and speed.

The air intake scoops, ducts and
air cleaner are locked together by latches and matching recesses molded into the mating joint faces.

The air cleaners are located in the forward corners of the engine compartment, on the fender front aprons. Each air cleaner is
located on the related fender front apron and front side member by two supports, and secured to a bracket at the top of the
fender front apron by a bolt and grommet. AIR INTAKES, AIR CLEANERS AND AIR DUCTS

tubes and T-piece duct together, and to the air cleaners and the electric throttle. A grommet and bracket attached the T-piece
duct to a bracket on the RH cylinder head. The two outlet tubes and the T-piece duct each incorporate a quarter wave resonator to reduce air induction noise.
The LH (left-hand) outlet tube incorporates a connector stub for the engine full load breather pipe.
The T-piece duct incorporates a connector stub for the vacuum tube of the bypass valve actuator on the supercharger.

SUPERCHARGER AND INTAKE MANIFOLDS

The SC increases the pressure, and thus mass, of the air supplied to the engine, to increase the engine's power output. Two separate intake manifolds direct air from the SC to the cylinder inlet ports.
The intake manifolds are attached to their related cylinder heads and the sides of the SC. Two dowels locate the SC in position on the cylinder block. A charge air cooler tank top is installed on top of the SC and intake manifolds to form the air duct from the SC outlet to the intake manifolds. A charge air cooler is installed in each intake manifold.
The charge air cooler tank top incorporates four studs for the attachment of the engine cover. A NVH (noise, vibration and
harshness) pad is attached to the side of each intake manifold.

The SC is a Roots blower with high angle helix rotors driven at 2.1 x engine speed by the secondary belt of the accessory drive.
The two rotors of the SC are contained in a housing. The ends of the rotors are supported in bearings in the front cover and the bearing plate. A rear cover seals the bearing plate and incorporates a filler/level plug for lubricant. A pulley transfers power
from the accessory drive to the shaft of one of the rotors.

A pneumatic actuator on the front cover is attached to a by-pass valve in the housing. The bypass valve regulates a flow of air
from the outlet of the SC back to the inlet side of the rotors, to control the outlet pressure of the SC. Hoses connect the pneumatic actuator to the throttle T-piece of the air ducts, upstream of the electric throttle, and to the front cover, downstream
of the electric throttle. A lever connects the actuating rod of the pneumatic actuator to the shaft of the bypass
valve. A screw in the front cover limits movement of the lever in the closed direction to allow calibration of the SC output. The front cover also incorporates:

The SC air inlet and mounting face for the electric throttle. A connector stub for the part load breather.
A MAP (manifold absolute pressure) sensor.
A connector stub for a hose from the EVAP (evaporative emission) canister purge valve.
Intake Manifolds

Each intake manifold is attached to the SC with three screws and a bolt. Two dowels ensure correct alignment of each intake manifold. The RHD (right-hand drive) intake manifold incorporates a connection port for the noise feedback system. The LH intake manifold incorporates:
A connector stub for the brake vacuum system.
A MAPT (manifold absolute pressure and temperature) sensor.

Symposer System

The symposer system modifies induction sound waves of a specific frequency range, at given engine settings, to produce the
required engine sound. The symposer system consists of:
An inlet pipe and flange.
A symposer and pneumatic valve assembly. A
tuning valve and associated vacuum tubes.
An outlet pipe.
An outlet adapter.

The inlet pipe and flange transfer induction noise from the RH intake manifold to the symposer. The pipe is a push fit on the symposer and the flange, which is attached to the rear face of the RH intake manifold.
The symposer contains two pairs of chambers, one pair on the inlet side and one pair on the outlet side. The inlet pipe
connects to one of the chambers on the inlet side of the symposer, and the pneumatic valve connects to one of the chambers
on the outlet side of the symposer. A calibrated orifice in the inlet pipe connection on the symposer limits the range of sound
waves that pass through it. A 'paddle' installed in a diaphragm forms the separating wall in each pair of chambers. The paddle
is able to pivot about its lateral axis where it passes through the wall that separates the two pairs of chambers.
