I thought the vortech's blower is a system simular to a turbo just one is being belt driven when turbo powered by pressure from the engine's exhaust gas.
If it's such a dumb a$$ question. It wouldn't be opinions from both side.

Everyone just said you don't need... Like I said, if you are afraid that your SC is getting hot running 8psi then get a big fan and point it on your SC. The heat that your SC is getting is just from the Engine Bay. A turbo get really hot because the hot exhaust gas goes through it, big difference there.

All the superchargers I know have their own oil supply. It's small and contained, only a few ounces. So I don't see it getting any benefit from cycling after the car is parked.

I don't know enough about turbos to compare though. All I know is a timer on the supercharger doesn't seem to benefit anything.

OK, it seems a number of reply'ers to this thread think the cool down period for a supercharger is a good idea. I disagree, and here is why:

Set up - Stillen Stage 3

1. With an abient temperature of 55 degrees F, I have measured SC outlet temperatures (pre-intercooler) DURING high load, to be as high as 238 degrees F at 6.7 PSI... During normal highway driving, I have recorded temperatures of 83 F.

Last track day (55 degrees), I brought my Fluke laser temperature meter and went for a good hard rip with a buddy with a TT Audi. After many strong, hard laps - we quickly pulled over and immediately measured our compressor temperatures... Astoundingly, I measured supercharger case temperatures as high as 115 degrees F! Wow!!! On the turbo car, it was off the charts... and the Fluke goes up to 950 degrees. Hmmm. Go figure.

I measured belt temperatures at about 140 degrees... maybe you should put your money toward a "belt cooler" or something...

Sorry for the sarcasm, but this IS as silly topic.

Visually, incase some of you still don't understand why Turbo's get hotter...



Example two...

hehe, looks more like a clogged cat than a turbo. Do turbos really get the headers that hot? That can't be normal.

I drive my car from home to work at 90 MPH for 14 miles, and when i arrive i don`t want to wait on the car, so i bought a Turbo Timer to let my car cool down for a 2 Min`s, is this a Problem ?? i was told that during lots of WOT runs the oil will be mainly on the heads and after letting the car idle a couple of minutes then most of the Oil will be on the Oil Pan, that`s why when u turn off ur car after WOT run u will hear Oil Drops in the Oil Pan, what does that mean ??? it means that most of the Oil is still on the Heads, and this isn`t Good.

Anyway WTF it will do if i did it ? does it affect anything ?? NOOOOOO then why people are so upset when they see it on Non-Turbo Charged Vehicles ??? ok one more thing ?

Do i need a Oil Cooler on a Non-Turbocharged car ??? MOST of u will say NO, but if i did it anyway it will help the engine even if i was NA, then WHY NOT TO GET IT !!!

damn can`t people just say its optional and thats it
