Keeps the cost down by a bit... and the rotrex is totally different from the hks.... rotrex had nothing to do with this charger.

Interesting. Good to know. Despite the fact that the HKS system is 'in-house', there's a fascinating document that can be found by going to Google and searching "Rotrex Technical Handbook". This was basically the tech manual supplied by Rotrex for anyone developing a kit for a car that utilized their supercharger system. As such, it goes into quite a bit of detail on the design of the traction drive system and how it functions and what can damage it as well as detailing how a system must be designed so as not to cause damage to the unit or ancillary components, etc. Though the HKS system is not Rotrex, both systems are centrifugal superchargers that utilize a traction-drive system. So the design principles are the same. And, considering that there doesn't appear to be a HKS Technical Handbook out there for download, this might make interesting reading for those wanting to know the ins and outs of how this type of supercharger system operates.
