Why don t all supercharger manufacturers utilize large intercoolers?
Lack of available space is the biggest issue which may limit the ability to effectively utilize intercooling. This is especially true for positive displacement superchargers, which have fewer mounting options than centrifugals. Due to their mounting locations, screw and roots blowers may be limited to an extremely small and ineffective intercooler, or even no intercooler at all. Similarly, space limitations inside an engine compartment may influence which intercooler a customer prefers, although intercoolers can typically be remote-mounted with a centrifugal supercharger, if necessary. Cost is also a factor, as intercoolers are not cheap.
