To clarify the SMS blower is a 2.3L Lysholm unit, not a 3.2L. They are choosing to rate the blower in an uncommon way by saying 3.2 cubic meters per minute. Positive Displacement Blowers are rated in Liters Displacement, which is the way every supercharger company rates them. The Lysholm 2.3L supercharger unit (Rotors and Housing) is not currently being used by anyone anymore. It used to be used by Whipple before they developed their own as a 2.4L unit. We last worked with the old 2.3L Lysholm Supercharger (Rotors and Housing) in 2004 on the Saleen S281E and designated it the Series V. We soon realized the limitations of the housing and created an integrated housing on the Saleen Series VI.
TECHCO was initially chosen by SMS to use our Twin Screw supercharger for a private label arrangement. However, we were never able to come to a business agreement, which is also why they are no longer in our building.
Ultimately we here at TECHCO are an Engineering Company trying to do marketing and SMS is a Marketing Company trying to do engineering. The choice in blowers is the customers. All of the engineers that developed all of the Saleen superchargers and products are a part of TECHCO. We want consumers to be informed of the facts and make their buying decisions based on facts. To mislead consumers by rating blowers incorrectly is simply a marketing magic show.
