Drive line power losses between the engine flywheel and the rear wheels vary dependant upon in which gear the dynamometer test is carried out, the condition of the vehicle drive line, atmospherics and tolerance of the rolling road. Typical quoted power losses vary between 15 and 22%, for this reason TVR Power state the achieved Bhp and Torque at the rear wheels and quote flywheel horsepower based upon the minimum losses of 15%, in effect the lowest realistic output.
SC 400 delivers stunning performance superior to its naturally aspirated TVR 500HC stable mate. The drive-ability of the car is excellent, with the system returning good fuel consumption better than the 5.0 litre. Driving the Supercharged cars is an unbelievable experience; members of TVRCC will have read in TVR Sprint the excellent reviews of the car and installation.
SC450 delivers greater performance as demonstrated by the performance graph than the SC400, whilst retaining the excellent drive-ability for which the SC cars are becoming known.
SC500 achieves superlative performance equal to the dunlop challenge race car, ensuring a huge constant grin when watching fellow tivers shrink in the rear view mirror, the SC500 delivering 340hp per ton with driver.

TVR Power installation
Supercharger system. Modification and relocation of the primary intake plenum, re-routing of throttle cable, re-routing of engine breather hose, relocation of Air flow meter, relocation of Coil and coil pack, up-rated Fuel regulator (4.0 L), fit modified Swirl pot and coolant hose, bespoke ECU chip, extension of wiring harness to air flow meter and stepper motor, relocation of the Power Steering pump and reservoir (if fitted). Installation of supercharger oil cooler system, re-forming of oil dipstick, engine pre-inspection and Dyno evaluation for current power and torque figures, bespoke tuning of the engine ignition and fueling, final Dyno prove out test with supplied data sheets showing pre and post-supercharged power and torque curves.
Intercooler
For the past few weeks we have progressed the design of an Intercooler to supplement the Supercharger system for the Chimaera SC500.
The SC500 IC Package is now complete, the system intake temperatures being reduced, permitting more effective filling of the combustion chambers with further advance of the ignition. The result is quite staggering with a significant increase in performance without loss of throttle response.
This Intercooler is available as part of the SC500 package or as an individual item available as an retrospective upgrade to installed supercharger systems.
The intercooler pipes shown on the picture below right are currently fitted to our development car. All intercooler kits that we sell will come with polished tubes..
