Turbo vs. Supercharger - Which is Best?

[@CameySaurusRex]

I personally never favor one over the other cause they have their own benefits. Also, they both make beautiful noises. Twincharging gives the engine the best of both & I don't feel as if they cancel out each other in that scenario.

[@vito7056]

Well said. Canyon carving in a supercharged car is usually preferred over Turbo.

Twincharging is dope, but it takes an extremely durable engine to handle all of that boost. That's why it's extremely rare even in high performance cars.

[@ronniewall1481]

I'VE ALWAYS HAD REAL GOOD IMAGINATION. I HAD THIS SOLVED THIRTY YEARS AGO.

[@Prestiged_peck]

@@gaming4christ_1 depends on how you do it, like if you're twincharging through a m122 eaton making like 5lbs you don't HAVE to make a crap ton of boost, 15lbs total would be very reasonable, and 5lbs from the eaton would still give you tons of extra kick, I'm gonna be twincharging a built bottom end cobra motor for my car at some point and I'm going for a vmp using an eaton R2650 rotor pack, sitting it for 10-14lbs, with some BSFC testing to see what boost level is most efficient, and then slap some big boi twin 88s that will barely make 2lbs of boost by themselves on the street due to light wastegate springs, for a total of like 16lbs at the most for the street.

[@ThePower1037]

I feel like turbocharging is the best for a regular engine's peak power, and efficiency but the roots supercharger never surges on boost, and is best for simplicity, and 4000whp. And one more note. turbochargers take a LOT of power from an engine too, the engine exhaust pressure with a turbo is usually 1-2 times as mush as it's boost pressure. This means that the engine has to work to push out the exhaust, robbing power.

[@JeffOfTheMountains]

For me it's the supercharger. Easier maintenance and instant power. Plus, that beautiful whine it makes.

There are ways to overcome turbo lag in dedicated drag usage. One is to use an external force to spool the turbo up at the line til the engine can build the RPM's and exhaust pressure. Another, and one that seems popular currently, is going to a ProCharger. Basically a Turbo but one that is spooled off the crank rather than exhaust. Exhaust is not free since exhaust pressure is robbing horsepower compared to a free flowing exhaust. Its all a game of pros and cons to find the correct balance.

[@nickolascalicoat1452]

Thank you now I don’t need to say it. Restrictions on exhaust is never good. Currently I’m installing a supercharger on 240z with 350 vortec v3. Came to you tube to learn about boost reference fuel management.

[@douglascooper1987]

[@177SCmaro]

After building racing engines of both flavors I can say this: If you want to play on easy mode, just get a blower. If you want every last bit of power as efficiently as possible, and you don't mind extra challenge and complexity, get a turbo (system). Turbos, btw, arn't free either. They create backpressure that the engine has to work against, it's just much more efficient than a belt.

[@177SCmaro]

@Gustav No. Exhaust backpressure is pressure in the exhaust system that impedes exhaust flow and works against the pumping action of the pistons. On a turbocharged engine the turbine, the part driven by the exhaust, is usually a restriction, thus creating backpressure. This isn't altogether bad as the boost generated by the compressor, the other side of the turbo, means we can burn much more fuel and make much more power then the restriction the turbine costs us resulting in a large net gain. Engine breaking (in spark ignition engines) is something else. Engine breaking is when you close the throttle and a large vacume is created which the pistons are pulling against which slows the engine which slows the vehicle. If you've ever stuck a suction dart to a piece of glass and noted how hard is can be to pull it straight off that's a tiny fraction of what the engine is experiencing. In a sense it's "reverse horsepower" trying to stop the engine.

[@scorpnz4433]

@@177SCmaro Re: engine braking; this is mitigated by it's either a bypass or a dump valve (can't recall how it works) on the inlet side which allows the turbine to stay at speed. @6.05 the guy is installing one,pretty sure it's a blow off. That said there's nothing like that 2 stroke effect turbo's have when it hits the powerband like a 2 stroke motorbike

Use both supercharger for low end and turbo for hi end power.

[@t8polestarcyan22]

Volvo is currently doing it but Volkswagen, Lancia and Nissan have already done so. To make this relatively short, Saab made a successful low pressured turbocharged engine which fattens the low end torque. However soon enough Volvo followed suit and exploited Saab's weakness, relying on bigger displacement such as 3.0T. Nevertheless the Swedes were the first to make proper low inertia turbocharged engines. I was surprised with Volvo's 2.4T (2.4 LPT) - it's a lot faster than you think esp. in many real life situations. It was a treat compared to Volvo's old school high pressured T5 (2.3 HPT). On paper the old year 2K era 2.3L T5 was faster than faster than the 2.4T but not in real life. Volvo's LPT is surprisingly good for low and high revs. Off course now Volvo has been hunting for even fatter low end torque and high eng power so here comes the new "T6" 2.0L inline four Twin-charged.

I feel the instant power is a little under expressed here. To make a turbo system good for a big engine that truly makes sense to use over a supercharger is when you're trying to hit ridiculous horsepower numbers. We're talking about 1500+. For less money, less time, and a better feel, the supercharger always makes sense. Heck SS camaros and GT mustangs have companies still putting out super charger kits for under 6k installed and tuned that can get them 200+ horsepower with no other supporting parts or mods needed, that still get them the instant off the line power most of them are looking for. I think that's such a big selling point for those cars specifically. Very few people look at muscle cars and car about their top speed or even their horsepower rating. It's all about torque and getting off the line baby!

also one difference is that superchargers have very linear power delivery since it runs parralel to your engine revs, while a turbocharger would have to build up and spool the turbo to kick in. i mean with anti-lag you pretty much cut off that delayed response it takes the engine to burn fuel and then get out the exhaust to then spool the engine. Or even sequential turbos that have a smaller turbo for lower RPMS and help the bigger turbo spool up and take over at higher RPMS. They both have their quirks and both sound amazing.

[@paradiselost9946]

nail on the head with this one. to compress the same volume of air requires the same amount of power irrespective of how its done. add in compressor efficiency and theres even more power required. quick search, twin screw can reach 92%. say 80% average? havent seen a turbo with a map over...75%? and its pretty hard to keep a turbo in that sweet spot.... that power for the compressor has to come from somewhere. some of its the heat in the gas. in this regard turbos are great... a piston cant use that energy. some of its the pressure of the gas. (which is due to the heat...) takes power to force air OUT of a cylinder at anything above atmospheric... through a restriction... always bear in mind the same amount of air that enters the compressor then passes through the engine and out the turbine. the only thing about it that changes is its temperature. maybe a slight volume change from chemistry, but its mostly from air expanding when hot. burning fuel adds heat. found a video of some guy running a turbocharger turbine engine, as external combustion. just heating the air up with a big heat exchanger. proves the point. engines run on air. and then theres exhaust gas left in the combustion chamber. at 10:1 CR that leaves ~1/10th of the cylinder contents as hot burnt gas. if the pressure is higher than atmospheric at the end of the ex stroke, theres more than 1/10th left as exhaust gas in that clearance volume... and that gas has to re-expand and fall below the manifold pressure before new fresh air can even start moving in. still have to love the sound of turbos :)

No ur just saying that because it's a good idea and u dint think of it

[@TheCarKrazeOfficial]

@@GYGANIKA I thought of it a year ago but I just don’t have any frikin time to put my plans into work lol

[@damageincorporatedmetal43v73]

I used to work for a Large Corporation that dealt with the DC 990. What they would do was change the pitch of the blade mechanically. By doing this it was easier & much quicker to get it up to speed. Their bye making it easier to start. There were some other innovations it shared that were Unique to this area where I live. I.E. Zippo, one of the things that were unique to a Zippo Lighter was that it was windproof. It wouldn't blow out. That's what engineers had to do to make the 990 a viable choice for Consumers. They had to make the igniter windproof because it would often blow out. I know the igniter looks nothing like a Zippo, but honestly. Where do you think that engineers Idea might have come from ???🤭

“ISNTAL”? See? I was paying attention! Thanks for the excellent video!

[@slyt4037]

lets be honest though, superchargers sound way cooler

[@drakon480]

That dodge demon supercharger put a smile on my face...;)

[@chrismair8161]

A Blower is more compact and delivers the same boost. Perfect for "Sleepers" and no idle noise to alert the opponent.

[@vito7056]

My Supercharged Miata would like to have a word with you. Great video btw!

[@buythishomeandillbuyyours]

Clear explanation, like this guy for this Channel

[@IdealMediaChannel]

Appreciate the feedback. Trav is the man!

[@imrenegade7582]

I am, and will always be, a Big Block kinda guy, so I'm going to go Supercharger all the time. Streetable and that whine sounds so nice. Lol If I was racing, I'd consider adding Turbo for top end boost.

[@caseyl3631]

Fun video! I'll be lynched for saying it, but a car's EGR system is also a displacement modifier.

[@ghw7192]

In the 70's, Turbo Tom's in Atlanta had tee shirts that read "Turbos are great, but I'd rather be blown".

[@anthonyjacksonjr4812]

Thanks for the lesson. Basically, muscle cars prefers a supercharger and regular cars prefers a turbo charger. 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🔥🔥🔥

[@paintbrushdaddy3249]

an obvious solution would be to have a supercharger for low rpms and a or two turbos for high rpms but at the cost of higher fuel consumption but the power output would be fun if its a v8 or above i would say

[@syedhassan8439]

I don't actually have a car yet nor I have money to buy one neither I live in America 🤣. But I still watch your videos just to increase my knowledge about cars so I won't get scam or got fooled by some one

[@emmetharte3718]

My Honda ITR had a supercharger first making about 270 BHP, and now it has a Turbo making 359 BHP 😁

[@billshiff2060]

... and the supercharger was quicker and more fun to drive daily.

[@Skelterbane69]

Fun fact: European trucks are technically twin charged. The turbo adds boost to the diesel engine and the compressor compresses air for the air tanks (that the brakes and other pneumatic stuff uses)

[@nigeldepledge3790]

Or, you could do what Lancia did with the Delta S4, and install both a supercharger and a turbocharger, with some clever plumbing to bypass whichever of the two was less effective in a particular rev band . . .

[@NiiJi_Wise_Guy]

Just depends on what type of performance your trying to achieve. Great video mane 👍

[@RichardEnglander]

I like efficiency and performance, so i think that my solution would be elctrically operated sequential turbo which spins-up using the power from regenerative braking so there is no lag. I hate lag, especially in the wet.

[@arsnotorious]

I also personally do not favor one or the other, in fact... I also love the sounds they both make a high speeds. Mmm.😆

[@carlosmanuelpintorivera2940]

Hey little feedback, the word instal is misspelled in the presentation, at 6:31! But this information is so much appreciated.

[@sariahreigns3666]

the funny thing is a root supercharger actually DOES add Displacement on newer vehichles it gets added in on some engine liter codes. IE the predator gt 500 motor is a 2.6L blower.

[@klote82]

Misspelled install. Great video I did learn something new!

[@Chevy-os1tp]

There is also what is called a Procharger, a turbo but it is bolted right onto the crankshaft. Is used in drag racing

[@DriftNick]

Procharger is a brand that mostly makes centrifugal superchargers.

[@Brandondrumkc]

I'm team turbo but I sure love that super charger sound

[@Slowmo896]

Before I watch this, I will simply say each has its own benefits and use for different environments…like high altitudes. Turbos are great, roots blowers are get if you need Instant flat torque..turbos will make more power at the same valves on the same engine, as you don’t have to use engine power to turn the blower..yet a blower will give you Instant horsepower and torque in relationship to the rpm of the motor..

[@sandervanderkammen9230]

The turbo will always make more power, which is what matters

[@TRexx47]

Supercharger pro ( instant torque and hp available at earlier rpm) con (heat soak heat soak heat soak) u start to feel the sluggish after a few back to back pulls . Turbo pro ( more power options control of the power band , room for massive power different options etc etc. Con (turbo lag lag lag lag usually see power mid to higher rpm’s to small of a turbo and u choke up top to big and u have lag for days common in high power applications.) That’s literally both in a nutshell without all the what ifs and X factors I own both amg supercharge and a Audi A4 big turbo.

[@DayTubers]

Compound BOOST with a really good tune. Then you'd have both low end and top end power. Best of both worlds!

[@HLGJammer]

Pro-chargers are pretty much centrifugal superchargers, turbo chargers are like air compressors. Screw and Roots type superchargers are positive displacement blowers (lower psi with high CFM).
