    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.

    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.

    I've had both on my car. When I was supercharged (Vortech V9) I loved the linear power and that I had peak torque from 2500 rpm's to redline. Only draw back with a SC is you dont make your peak hp until redline. I always wanted to put in a bigger SC but the fact it was a 3.2L VR6 I saw others struggle with the engine having a hard time turning the SC and constantly breaking belts so I went turbo (Garrett GT3582R) and never looked back. My wheel hp only increased by 70 from the SC level but my wheel torque increased by 160. I could go with some bigger injectors and a different tune to squeeze some more power out of it but then Id be close to my limits as far as my stock internals and transmission could handle.

    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!

    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.

    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

    @177SCmaro

    Жыл бұрын

    @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.

    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.

    You totally missed some major differences. 1. Turbos tend to have more heating issues because the compressor is coupled to the ehaust turbine 2. Superchargers are flawed when compared to a turbo because they cram air into the engine regardless of the engine load and possibly causing major engine damage. 3. Turbos are usually better for street / strip use because of easily being able to control boost pressures on the fly 4. Superchargers generally kill any chance of fuel economy with a few exceptions, however when turbos are set up correctly they generally increase fuel mileage.

    2. This is not true, all superchargers these days have a vacuum or electronic bypass and they are only active under load 3. An electronic bypass can be positioned gradually, much like a throttle body, which gives superchargers "boost control", even though pulley sizes are fixed 4. See point 2, with the bypass active (driving like a grandma), fuel economy with a supercharger is only marginally worse than without; similarly, if one drives a turbo or twin turbo setup in boost, fuel economy will suffer a lot (and having a tiny engine with a turbo to meet EPA fuel economy requirements is counterproductive, because in the real world people will be in boost much more than during the EPA test cycle)

    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 :)

    At the high end of power, it's an argument - Aircraft piston engines were usually turbocharged, but Top Fuel makes more power and are supercharged. Mostly though it comes down to where you want the power boost - low-end grunt you supercharge, high end power go turbo *especially* if your car already has issues hooking up.

    I have a 2018 Trackhawk facing 6 years in May (expensive to maintain without warranty). Love the instant acceleration anytime I hit the pedal! In college I had a Mustang 5.0 and got a new Eclipse GSX turbo when I graduated in 1992, which the turbo lag was apparent, unless I held the break and pedal in a simulated launch without the buttons of today. Now I'm trading my Trackhawk in a Macan GTS (on order, deliver in April) and I've concerned if I'll like it as much (haven't driven a GTS) because of the lag I experienced 30 years ago, but I can't get a new Trackhawk (don't make them any longer)...but this video is awesome at explaining the differences and I love the fact that you reference the Hellcat engine and the launch control of the turbos. While there might be lag when stomping, hopefully I'll have good instant force using the launch on the Macan GTS. You've given me some positivity to look forward to!

    For turbos, they should have a pressured air attachment so you could blow a ton of air in them without waiting for the motor to spin them up. And a small air compressor could be attached to the alternator so that air compression can also be available cause you only need it for the initial spin up.

I have always leaned more toward turbo but I am a firm believer that there IS NO replacement for displacement, I mean you build a small engine up, it could smoke a standard V8, but you take the time and build it right, a ZZ632 with a reasonable supercharger AND twin turbos, could probably smoke the Hoonicorn or a Tesla Plaid

    No replacement for displacement holds true tho. Comparisng say a twin turbo 3.5 V6 to a 6.2 V8 sure you can squeeze more power out of the V6 that's nearly half the size, but it's apples to oranges. One is FI the other is NA. You would see WAY more power out of the V8 with the same setup if it's apples to apples there is no replacement for displacement that doesn't mean an I4 or a V6 can't seriously crank out some power tho because they can MOVE with enough boost
