Non-Factory Supercharger?
Last Fall I bought a 2002 Saleen S281, and I'm looking to find out a bit more about it and figure out what exactly this car is supposed to be. I reached out to Saleen and purchased a new window sticker and certificate of authenticity, and now I'm in the official Saleen registry, so that's kind of cool.
Everything seemed to check out with my car, that is until I saw this S281E that is currently on Ebay, and I noticed some discrepancies between that vehicles window sticker and mine. Specifically the fact that that Saleen has its supercharger mentioned multiple times on its window sticker, where as mine says nothing at all about its supercharger. This has led me to wonder if the supercharger was added sometime after it left Irvine California? Or did non extreme Saleens not always have their superchargers listed on the sticker? The car does have a Saleen supercharger hood decal, and the supercharger does look like one of the stock options... though not the one I would have expected for my cars year and model? Here's what I got: From what research I've done.... I think this year and model of saleen should have a series 2 SC... .but mine looks closer to the Series V or VI? Is anyone able to identify what supercharger this is? Last edited by Saleen 02-0784; 03-18-2022 at 04:19 AM. Reason: name change |

That's too bad, but I suspected as much. Would have been nice to have been factory correct, but maybe i'll luck out and it will be a more powerful unit than a normal 281SC from 02. Looks like I need to find a dyno and figure out exactly how much power I've got. Anything less than 365 hrsprs would be pretty disappointing.

Hi. Your car has the Lysholm 1600 supercharger. Also known as the Series IV supercharger. These were factory on the 2003-04 S281 SC.

That's awesome info, thanks for confirming! It hit 50 degrees today where I live, still waiting for a lot of snow to melt and the roads to dry before I take out the Saleen... but I'm really looking forward to the first drive of the season.
