k, this information I'm supplying is not exactly the same as the SC found in the milly, but according to lysholm (yes, lysholm is a company all of its own):
QUOTE
The Compressor used in the Mazda was to some extent designed
at our sister company SRM. The compressor is a screw compressor
"Lysholm" type. The compressor received its final designed by
IHI in Japan, an is as efficient as any other screw compressor.
If you look at
www.lysholm.se you can find information about
the efficiency of a normal generic lysholm compressor. The size
nearest to the compressor size in the Mazda is the LYS 1200.
So, these are specs for the LYS 1200 (alot of these were metric or other measures which I have converted to more familiar measures):
maximum screw speed: 15,000 rpm
maximum operating pressure ratio: 2.2 (this equates to 32.34 psi, or about 17.6 psi "boost" pressure)
displacement: 1.2 L/rev
maximum operating flow: approx. 600cfm at full pressure
For those of you who know about adiabatic and volumetric efficiency, or better yet want to read the compressor flow map for yourself, here it is:

The lysholm site also has a few neat little animations showing a lysholm compressor at work. the main difference I've seen between lysholms and other screw-type compressors is the "screws" in a lysholm are lobed rather than simple screws; the male rotor has 3 lobes, the female has 5 lobes. the 2 rotors never come in physical contact with each other, rather they fit veeeerry well into each other. all lysholms have helical gearing for precise timing so the rotors never touch, and for quiet operation as well.
