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

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

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

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

Reflection Essay When people talk about race cars or high-performance sports cars‚ the topic of turbochargers usually comes up. Turbochargers also appear on large diesel engines. A turbo can significantly boost an engine’s horsepower without significantly increasing its weight‚ which is the huge benefit that makes turbochargers so popular. A turbo basically makes your car go faster by forcing compressed air into the engine. It’s a type of force induction system; it forces more air into the cylinder

handling and perhaps add a personal touch. This type of activity might be mistaken by many to be reserved for racing “junkies”‚ but if we take a closer look‚ it actually proves to be quite beneficial in terms of fuel consumption and safety. Superchargers or turbochargers are known to increase engine efficiency and power‚ whereas advanced suspension and braking tend to drastically upgrade handling and thus safety. A carefully designed exhaust system can decrease fuel consumption by allowing the engine to

who wins the races. And the lists always range down from Mustangs to Ferraris‚ Evos to subarus. From the racetrack to a drag strip a driver must be capable to tune his car and modify it to surpass the required limits to be able to win a race. A turbocharger here with a nice exhaust setup over there can help the car very nicely and can come in handy. But‚ what good is it to have a car that can reach a maximum of 200 mph if the driver racing the car cannot drive over the speed of 20 mph without almost
