Abstract
A supercharger assembly has a supercharger housing defining an air inlet and an air outlet; an impeller disposed in the supercharger housing; an impeller shaft connected to the impeller for driving the impeller; a driveshaft connected to the impeller shaft for driving the impeller shaft, the driveshaft defining an oil supply passage; and a torsional damper connected to the driveshaft for driving the driveshaft. The torsional damper is configured for being operatively connected to a crankshaft of an internal combustion engine. The oil supply passage is positioned to supply oil to the torsional damper for lubricating the torsional damper.
