Supercharge Or Turbo?

Interesting S-charger there. Can ya tell me about it?



Lag? Only yesteryear has it unless something is ill designed or mismatched.
Todays modern cars, well designed ones at least, have this issue preety much licked. I did here one guy complain about his ride, can't remember what it was off hand.

Effcient? I argue that. How much power is being robbed by the exhaust spinning the turbo? How much pressure from the exhaust does it take to overcome the intake tracks pressure in order to drive the turbo? How contaminated is the incoming charge due to the exhaust back pressure from turning the turbo strong enuff to provide the pressure?

X2 on the info on the S-charger


Turbo lag is mostly the result of that unless you are trying to spin a big turbo for whatever reason floats your boat. I.e. Not wanting boost to come in until a certain rpm or wanting to push more boost later than a smaller turbo could. But if you are dead set on running a large turbo, you should look into using what is called sequential turbo charging but that is just my opinion. Its an alternative to nitrous assisted spooling.:-D



This thread makes me drool on myself. Keep them coming guys. Gotta love them turbos and superchargers.8)
