MCST1010 Turbocharger VS Supercharger A turbocharger is defined as a centrifugal blower driven by exhaust gas turbines and used to supercharge an engine. (Merriam-Webster Dictionary) Turbochargers compress the air flow into the engine. One of the advantages of the air being compressed is that more air is being squeezed into the cylinder‚ more air in the cylinder means that more fuel can be added. It achieves the boost by using the exhaust flow from the exhaust to spin a turbine‚ which spins an

Ok‚ we’ve seen it brought up a million and one times‚ so‚ I’m going to give my take on the whole turbo vs. supercharger argument once and for all. Honestly‚ both devices ROCK. They essentially do the same thing (which is pressurize the intake) when it comes down to it. Argueing that one makes "more power" than the other is utterly redundant‚ as I re-iterate that they both essentially do the same thing. (Look up redundancy in the dictionary and it will say "See Redundant".) Anyways‚ I’m going to

their car is what is better‚ a turbocharger or a supercharger? Both turbochargers and superchargers have advantages and disadvantages‚ some of which are similar. Choosing the right kind of forced induction for your vehicle will depend upon your vehicle and your power preferences. The first type of forced induction is the supercharger. A supercharger is mounted to the engine and is driven by a pulley that is in-line with the crank belt. Air is taken into the supercharger and compressed by counter rotating

February 2012 Turbochargers vs. Superchargers Have you ever wanted to know how to make your car go faster? While I can make no guarantees that your car will be a qualifier for the next Fast and Furious movie‚ I can coach you on how to get the biggest bang for your buck‚ or in this case‚ speed from your engine. The simplest method for boosting speed is installing a force induction system that consists of either a turbocharger or a supercharger. Most turbochargers and superchargers can be bolted on

Variable Geometry Turbocharger Turbochargers works on the simple principle of increasing the intake air density by compression. Being able to fill more air into the combustion chamber will allow more fuel to be added to produce more power. However the operation of the turbocharger relies solely on the exhaust gas velocity to drive the compressor. Thus the compressor will be at optimum operation range when the engine is under heavy load. When the throttle is opened‚ it will take a certain period

Supercharger Network: Tesla Motors has started operating its new Supercharger stations on the motorways of the UK‚ and is working on spreading its network across Europe to meet increasing recharging needs‚ according to a report released by EV Fleet World. The installed units are capable of recharging 50% of the Tesla Model S’s 310 mile-range in roughly 20 minutes. As of June 2015‚ Tesla operated 22 Superchargers in the UK‚ with many more to be released later this year and next year. Apart from the

Import vs. Domestic Muscle cars have always been a big in the United States such as the Ford Mustang‚ Chevrolet Camaro‚ and Chevrolet Corvette. These cars are some of the most popular cars for the past 25 or more years‚ but over the past 10 years‚ Japanese cars are becoming more and more popular. Many people who are into muscle cars despise these "imports" and people who are into these imports have the same feelings toward muscle cars. These two types of car lovers have a strong dislike for each

. How Do Diesel Engines Work? The basic difference between a diesel engine and a gasoline engine is that in a diesel engine‚ the fuel is sprayed into the combustion chambers through fuel injector nozzles just when the air in each chamber has been placed under such great pressure that it’s hot enough to ignite the fuel spontaneously. Following is a step-by-step view of what happens when you start up a diesel-powered vehicle. 1. You turn the key in the ignition. Then you wait until the engine
