Suoercharger draws off of crankshaft for torque. Turbo draws if exhaust presdure for torque. Its that simple. Exceot for Audi "bi-turbo" Which share a common torque rail driving 2 compressors, driven by a single super charger and 2 turbo chargers, enabling both continuos output from low RPM thru high and increased fuel economy ay speed.

[@wavejdm]

Superchargers don’t sacrifice power they sacrifice fuel 👍

[@barnykirashi]

Well.......there is also the difference of how much boost pressure they can make. A very high pressure Turbo is called a Turbo-Supercharger, and the most notorious user was and still is the Republic P-47D Thunderbolt. Aviation was the primary playing field for forced induction, as higher altitudes suffocated the engines. In World War I, overcompression was a thing, but then it was realised that you can use a compressor turbine to push air into the engine at high altitudes, where the air is thin. By World War II, most aero-engines were supercharged, mostly mechanically driven. The Rolls Royce Merlin used by the Hurricane, Spitfire and the P-51 Mustang (since the B anc C models), De Havilland Mosquito, Avro Lancaster, and a bunch had centrifugal, geared superchargers on the crankshaft, The Rolls Royce Griffon also had it, since it was a direct upgrade of the Merlin. The Germans 3 main Manufacturers were Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Junkers. Daimler/Mercedes and Junkers both built primarly inverse V-12 engines with centrifugal, mechanically driven superchargers 90 degrees rotated to the side, compared to the Crankshaft. MB had the DB-600, 601, 605, and the larger 603. Junkers had the Jumo 211 in the Ju-87 Stuka, and the Jumo 213....we get to that. On the other hand, the Soviets mostly were fine with NA engines, since in Soviet Russia weather is fucking awful, and nobody needs to fly too high. Mikoyean-Gurevich Design Bureau had their prototype for an Interceptor, the I-225, which would have used Turbocharger(s) but it did not go far. What used Turbochargers were American planes, such as the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress, and the Lockheed P-38 Lightning. Only then, after Republic's failed attempts at designing a new fighter did they build an insane machine, where the Fuselage was the afterthought, and the Engine was the primary design element. The Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp was a 46 liter twin row 18 cylinder was already a formidable engine, and Republic decided to hook it up to a Pallet-Sized Exhaust Driven, Intercooled Turbo-Supercharger By default the Turbo would blow itself up, so it had to be regulated. The Engine was of course in the nose, but the Turbo was in the Tail, and all the piping required made the plane an Absolute Unit. the front Exhaust pipes have butterfly valves, that can be closed off, to increase the exhaust pressure to the Turbo, and make it spin faster. under 5500-6000 meters of altitude if the valves were closed, the charger would generate too much air pressure and literally break itself. But up over 6 kilometers, the Turbo worked to it's fullest and kept the engine operating at full, 2700 horsepower, which was only to be met by a single German Foe. Kurt Tank was a German engineer, who at the time wanted to revive the Radial Engine as a source of power for prime fighter aircraft, not only as a secondary option for necessity. At the Time Water-Cooled V engines were viewed as superior to Radials, because a V engine could have an aerodynamic cowling. Kurt's Idea was that, yes the nose would be aerodynamic, but the radiators would increase drag. His proposal was the Focke-Wulf Fw-190A, which was by it's first iteration a smash hit in the Luftwaffe. The Bf-109 needed a major update to keep up with Tank's design. The engine of the plane was the BMW 801, a 14 cylinder Radial engine with a Centrifugal Supercharger. But this was still made for 4 kilometers to 5.5 kilometers in altitude. It was only later in the War, when the Moustache Man was beginning to fear the deployment of Boeing's new bomber, the B-29, which was to fly way too high, so the very very bad man went to Kurt, to upgrade his wonder-fighter (wunderjägdflugzeug) and there was 3 preliminary designs for this upgrade: The Fw-190C was to be equipped with the DB-603, without it's Supercharger, and a big Turo was slung under the Fuselage, but the performance wasn't too good The B was simply the C, but with simply keeping the Supercharger. This had the best performance potential, but the DB-603 was still new, and had issues, so the D version was selected, which had the Jumo 213, but otherwise the same as the B. Kurt wanted to go forward with the B variant. Then there was the further, and final evolution, the Focke-Wulf Ta-152 Series. The C variant was a Fighter-Bomber, and it would finally go forward with the DB-603. The H Variant was the machine, which had 3 Supercharger gears, and the damned thing could fly at 10200 meters at full power.

Turbochargers give high power outputs at higher speeds and RPM as Superchargers give lots of power AND torque at lower speeds and RPMs.

[@b3notafraid960]

Not necessarily. Bigger turbos will make more power at higher rpm. Smaller turbos will make power at lower rpms. Variable geometry turbos also exist so you can still get lots of power at low and high rpms. Superchargers are obsolete. They are parasitic, bigger, more expensive and complicated, and they don’t compress the air they just push it into the engine. turbochargers will actually compress the air so turbos are better.

Sorry but this guy is a liar. Both superchargers and turbo's add horsepower, superchargers consume fuel as a means of forcing air into the engine with pulleys and turbo's make your engine more economical at the cost of slowly wearing down the engine block making your car unusable.

[@BoogalooDady]

The turbo lag can be somewhat eliminated by a two stage turbo if I’m not mistaken

[@jpeg7352]

The force that spins the turbo charger is not free. Backpressure in the exhaust system makes it more difficult for the piston to push out exhaust gases when the exhaust valve opens.

[@Rtk3598]

but there is already a mechanism that "disables" the turbo lag which is the antilag. It basically has a cylinder of compressed air and has a button when you want to activate it and just press the button it will throw the air from the cylinder directly into the turbine making it spin almost instantly.

[@someone-u3e]

thank you for the explaining

[@ZacTheTexan]

You can get an anti-lag device for the turbo to combat turbo lag

But it'll be less reliable. If it's going to be your weekend car sure maybe it'll be alright to break, but for a daily or semi-daily car, nope, never.
