TorqStorm® was developed by two car guys who love power and speed. We own Accelerated Tooling LLC, a CNC machine shop in Wyoming, MI with vast machining capabilities.

 

 We were approached by a company to help redesign the case of an old supercharger that had gone out of business.  This old supercharger had a lot of issues with bearings, heat, and belts that broke when going over 6 psi. The re- design had to fix all of these issues plus incorporate a self- contained oiling system, eliminate the belt, look better than the original, and be a direct bolt- on for the original. It also had to integrate all the old parts that the company had: bearings and scrolls etc.  That company didn’t like the cost involved with the re- designed supercharger using a billet case that Accelerated Tooling made for them.    The serious problem with the old castings, which they wanted to continue to use, was that the location of the bearing was not controlled well, causing premature bearing failure.   Accelerated Tooling LLC absorbed these redesign costs - having never received compensation from that company.

 

A year later, Accelerated Racing Product LLC was formed, and development started on the TorqStorm® supercharger.  Two years of rigorous testing went into making our supercharger outstanding both in performance as well as appearance.  We turned to Royal Purple to partner with us through the tough issue of finding the perfect oil.  They readily agreed, testing the oil and making recommendations throughout the process.  Performance Bearing helped us in testing and choosing the hybrid bearing used in TorqStorm®.  The unique billet impeller is a product of our years of machining impellers and learning what works and what doesn’t.       

 

This scroll and impeller combo moves enough air to support around   550 hp.  Intake temperatures are at 185 to 200 degrees on a hot day. The scroll is like a turbo with a v-band flange, which makes indexing the scroll, for different applications, much easier, offering a much cleaner appearance.

 

The bolt pattern in the case is the same as the old supercharger that went out of business because we thought that it would fit in their old brackets and could be a replacement for them. However, that doesn’t work for two reasons. First, their brackets were too weak and flexed, that is why TorqStorm® superchargers come with .75 thick brackets to control and eliminate flexing.  Second, the TorqStorm® supercharger has to be mounted a certain way or it will over heat, because of the self-contained oiling system. The bolt pattern in the case is no longer the same, so there would be no confusion.

 

What’s in store for the future?  We continue advertising to get the word out about TorqStorm®. We want to develop kits that are exceptional quality at a reasonable price.  TorqStorm® is a superior entry- level supercharger that looks great, performs well, and is affordable.

 

We are proud to say that TorqStorm® is made in Wyoming, Michigan USA!
