Schnitzer superchargers

I got a hold of a 1963 schnitzer supercharger, wondering in anyone has any info on these??? I will post pics later..

 

Didn't they use those in Henway's?

 

You sure it ain't a "Schweitzer" ?sp They were mostly on big trucks and industral apps as far as I have ever seen.

Nope. "Schnitzer Superchargers" (not to be confused
with the somewhat similarly-named, but in reality, actually
much more 'Hamburger Helper-like', "Schnitzel Superchargers"
'imitation food' product. ) were used on 1936 through
early-'47 Rash-Namblers....but never, ever, on any actual
Henways! This confusion and the many myths and 'old wives
tales' still making the rounds of the 'bench racer' and 'do-nut
shop' talk circuits about "some Henways" *allegedly*
and *supposedly* "coming from the factory, fitted with
'Schnitzer Superchargers'", stem from misconceptions,
misinformation and even some out-right nasty 'damned lies'
being circulated by *certain* disgruntled former Rash-Nambler
dealers,- still upset and angry, 63-odd years on, by the
way(!) - at Henway Motor's buy-out, shutdown and
liquidation of its hated arch-rival rival and main nemesis -
'Rash-Nambler Motor Car & Washing Machine Corporation',
- back in May of 1947!!! Some guys and/or their estates, just
won't give up!! (Note - for more information and some
actual 'true facts' regarding the takeover and shutdown of
Rash-Nambler by Henway, see my post #164 in the HAMB
"Don't Shoot Me - Barn Find in Sweden" thread on this

My little buddy was a Schnitzer, bless his soul.

 

I stand corrected, I would have sworn....

So didn't these schnitzer blowers take vw muffler bearings to convert them for street use?

 

... how about a pic for all of us visual learners?!

 

I was dating the foxy Miss Erma Schnitzer when her dad was making these things. He offered to let me in on the patent rights, but Erma and I broke up before I could come up with the cash. No one did, I heard, and he closed up shop when the VW muffler bearings got too expensive.

 

we had a little schnitzer dog when i was a kid, called him "Mr Puddles"

 

You guys are a riot! Hahaha. To help the noob..... They are used mostly on BMWs. If you have a Z4 or a 330i lying around, it'll make it go ZOOOOOM!

Hmm??? Too bad things didn't work out betwen you and "Miss
Emma". Just think...if it had, you coulda' ended up with a little
'Schnitzer' on your hands!!!
