the diffrence Supercharger & Turbo

[Silver SS]

How is an supercharger different from a turbocharger?

A supercharger is connected directly to the crankshaft by a belt unlike a turbocharger which is driven by exhaust gases. An Eaton supercharger provides improved horsepower and torque, at lower engine rpm's, by pumping extra air into the engine in direct relationship to crankshaft speed. The positive connection yields instant response, in contrast to turbochargers, which must overcome inertia and spin up to speed as the flow of exhaust gas increases. The supercharger is a way to get around "turbo lag". The lubrication system also differs, in that, the supercharger is self-contained whereas the turbocharger requires engine oil.

u forgot to mention that turbo's Can be run in Twin or Signle application
and your average supercharger runs 7-8 psi
where turbo's go 15-20-25 psi
and i've heard that turbo car is easier to drive then a Supercharged car... less traction problems and such
most superchargers can't be intercooled either cuz they bold right onto the head
to change the power on a supercharger u have to change the pully
in a turbo all u need is a Boost controller, or even adjust it from the waste gate


if u're lookin for something easy to install and maintain but have medium perfomance
go supercharger

if u're lookin for lotsa power, with more customizability and "high boost" and "low boost" capabilities... Turbo is the way to go...

just cutting and pasting a paragraph from a website doesn't tell ppl very much of the story

u guys r da bomb :thanks:

My supercharger has an Intercooler and i can run it up to 11.5 PSI

The new gen of chargers are a lot better now....

yes they are, i am quite impressed with the eaton type superchargers and the ones MB use and call KOMPRESSOR!

[Silver SS]

Designo.... now everyone is useing Superchargers

dont tempt me MOFO !!

[Silver SS]

i think you need an AMG Supercharged beast

yes i do dear, yes i do!

[Silver SS]

let's go find you onw in Dubai :crazy:

[Kayman]

did somebody say dubai? :naughty:

[Silver SS]

yeah... next to your flat :crazy:

[Thug Life]

4ced Induction is everywhere :thanku:

hahahahahahahaha

eshtaby ba3ad

u got a small section at gulfgt and it's for u(force induction) :bigok:

[Silver SS]

:crazy:.... lucky huh

[Z28 Girl]

ra9a9i xx something wrong ??? haaa :stickpok:

[7amad 26688]

i am not a genius at these things :puter:
but i heard that superchargers only work from start however turbo's work at middle rpm as in 3000 or 4000 ?

if im wrong please correct me :fro:

[SS]

ur correct, superchargers get their spin from the crank, turbos use exhaust flow from the engine to spin the turbine..at low rpms the pressure from the exhaust is less..this is a very simple explanation..;)

[4ced]

yeah thats correct, because the exhaust gases move the turbo, and for that it usually needs to be at a higher RPM than idle. Superchgs can be switched on from idle cuz of the direct connection to the crank

problem with turbos and supers in our weather is that it gets too hot here, and you get the most performance out of them when its cold... if u install one you will notice quite a difference in the winter and summer time

gimme half ur car knowledge mashalla 3alaik

i :hail: to u

[Silver SS]

:whip:

[SpiderSol]

Turbo For Ever
in 4 cylender applications the turbo always had the best HP and Q/miles
V8's NO experiance :p

[Silver SS]

for a 4 cyl.. Turbos are alot better :up2:
but i've seen new companies with very good superchargers

[ZOSicK]

nice topic man... :dance:

Roots style are the ones you refer to, and some are intercoole-eg 03 Cobra, Lightning, etc.
Centrifigal superchargers(ATI, Vortech) are almost exactly the same as a turbo, bit they are belt driven.
Mine even looks like a turbo, and is air to air intercooled.
It sounds like a turbo, too, when it starts to build boost, and "whistles"

Just thought I would throw in some correct statements here :D

[Silver SS]

Thanks for the Info bro.. :up2:
I have a V2-SQ on my car... it's great when it's at peak RPM

[Turbo_Phreak]

Z28 girl, ur avatars freaky... :deejay:

[Bu-Norris]

is it true that all M-powers have superchargers? like little baby ones? cuz my friend kept sayin that they did, but i would agree with him the M3 might have a small one, but the M5 no way! its pure N/A power!! ain't that a fact?

[Silver SS]

All M's are N/A.... :up2: no superchargers... only the new AMG's are
