This new supercharger system for the 1275cc Sprite/Midget uses the same high quality Eaton positive displacement roots-type supercharger found on contemporary OE applications such as Mercedes Benz and Jaguar, but Moss have been careful to design the system to look like it was a factory-installed option that complements the classic Sprite/Midget image. The supercharger features helical rotors and an internal vacuum controlled bypass valve for high efficiency and economic cruising, while the intake manifold provides equal flow to each cylinder allowing you to run more boost pressure without the chance of harmful detonation. The Moss supercharger system produces 5-6psi of boost at sea level. On an otherwise stock test car, that almost doubled the rear wheel horsepower. Bolted on to a stock engine, you may expect an increase of 40% at the flywheel of a sound engine. The supercharger is supplied as a complete kit and includes a four-rib serpentine belt drive system with automatic tensioner, new HIF44 carburettor and a high-flow K&N air filter. The kit will install in any 1275cc Sprite/Midget and will fit with either a dynamo or alternator, though upgrading to an alternator is recommended as the dynamo bearings will wear quickly with the increased belt loading – Moss have an alternator conversion for £105.95.
