Engineering Explained what if we connect the shaft of the turbo to the engine (like a supercharger) and use the exhaust to drive it further? Sort of an amalgamation of a turbo charger and a super charger.. do you think the vacuum created in the exhaust port will be to large for the fins of the turbo to handle or will it help scavenge the exhaust more?

How lovely do they sound in the NA configuration (e36/46) and how inferior and without any character in the nowadays turbocharged versions. They sound so bad that BMW actually tunes in fake engine sound through the speaker system :-(

I think the major problem with turbos is the heating. They cause a lot of reliability issues if they’re not factory or a noob build.

I'm putting a 4.6 supercharged stroker in my 97 jeep wrangler. The reason I think it's best is exactly what you mentioned in that you know what you're getting from the throttle. Hard wheeling then all the sudden getting a huge boost of power with a turbo could get you into trouble. Great video 👍👍👍

Never drove a super charged car before but this makes me really want to try. My car is turbo and pro tuned and the response seems pretty damn spot on. I have a lot of torque which is what I want for the rodes I drive but if a super charger is even more responsive I would love to see what that feels like.

Supercharged/ naturally aspirated cars are much better for off-roading, which is something you didn’t cover. It relates to the throttle response/ rpm vs power. When you’re crawling along, or ripping through some mud, it’s helpful to get that power instantly. Also, if you’re in a tight situation, the sudden powerban from a turbo could put an unwanted amount of power to the wheels. Great video though, very informative

That final point about throttle communication is a very important one. I recently went for a lengthy night drive in my car - a Volvo S40 - which is a turbocharged, automatic-transmission vehicle. It has some serious power for a compact daily, but between its still-pretty-slushy and aged torque converter (which would at times allow the engine to wander in the 1300-1800 RPM range without changing gear *or* actually affecting the road speed) and the turbo (which starts spooling around 2000 rpm, but will lose the boost very quickly once I stop flooring it and therefore basically has 2 different torque curves depending on now depressed the throttle is) a lot of my fun or my feeling of control was sapped. I am pretty much certain that at least one of those aspects, most likely the automatic, will not be present in the next car I purchase. What I'm about to say is not directly related to the video, but I urge anybody here who can't operate a manual to learn to do so. It's much less arduous than some people make it out to be, and provides fun, control and - on older models at least - a vastly superior fuel economy potential.

This the first engineering explained video that I understood.

Centrifugal superchargers are great for large engine cars where you already have decent low end grunt and getting a ton of top end power is very useful.

I've owned turbocharged engines and hated them because even the best design still has some turbo lag. The supercharged engines that I've owned were always a joy to drive with, because of the instant thrust and continued wider instant power band to performance ratio. I have to agree with your points on both engine variations, however and I enjoyed the video and honest evaluations.

Thank you. I didn't know how a turbocharger works until you explained it quite well. You seem to anticipate my questions without having stated them. Say for example you explained how the PCV valve works. My dealership called me in to replace the PCV valve which wasn't malfunctioning. After the replacement. I experienced a significant performance improvement. Also, you talked about lag with turbochargers as opposed to no lag with superchargers. Occasionally, I experience delay or lag when I put my foot down. I'm wondering if that has to do with it being an automatic transmission. As soon as the engine spools up in the right gear, then it tears out. It shifts fast and smooth but the delay occurs after deceleration on a turn. No more automatic transmissions for me!

Thanks. Exactly what I needed to know.

I super appreciate your professional expertise and how you deliver it, thank you for the wisdom that I can understand.

I had a 2014 Audi A7 and that super charger was actually very responsive. I now have a 2017 G90 and the twin turbo on the V6 are pretty good also there is a bit of turbo lag but it’s not noticeable to the untrained or informed person. I do miss that throw you back in the seat feeling with the A7.

It doesn't need a true, hard warmup, but it A) has a cold-start feature which helps with the initial stages of a warmup with a quicker idle and B) the manual states that you should refrain from revving the engine (and thus running the turbo hard) for the first several minutes of operation. All this points to the fact that even modern engines - especially turbocharged ones - are meant to only operate at peak power one they reach operational temperature, even if they're technically capable of doing so from startup.

Always better for longevity to let ANY engine warm up…also highly recommended to let them run at idle for a cool down period before shutting off, especially turbo(s)👌🏼

I personally love *BOTH* of ‘em.

Unbiased and very informative information - as usual! Go well that man!!

That is the clearest explanation I've ever heard between the two. Kudos!

I still like supercharges because of the whine and no lag

Modern turbocharged cars have minimal turbo lag. My 2004 Audi hits peak boost at less than 2000rpms. Not to meantion theres newer cars out there that will hit peak boost before even 1600rpms.

Antilag........ Turbo boost without lag (I think that is Howe it Workshop)

Have the beat of both worlds- compound boosting!

Best technical comparison I’ve ever seen in my life! Thanks bro

Perfectly concise and well explained, thank you

You don't really have to choose between the two. Feed the supercharger output into the turbo intakes. It will help overcome turbo lag, get them spooling early and supplement them in times of need to achieve their full potential.

I think the better solution is to feed the turbos into the supercharger and then bypass the SC once the turbos' boost outflows it. To save fuel you could even de-clutch the SC at idle. The turbo versions of Detroit Diesel's 2-stroke Diesel engines did the exact same thing except the blower is always engaged and is required for scavenging. The turbos boost and scavenge once they've spooled up.

I believe Volvo did do that with their T6 engine.

honestly, the problem he mentioned about turbochargers having lag and superchargers having better pedal communication only applies if you are relatively new to the car. after spending some time with a turbocharged car, the driver should be able to fully understand its characteristics and thus will be able to get what exactly he wants from the car. most boosted racecars with experienced drivers who won't face the miscommunication issue use turbochargers and not superchargers for a reason. turbochargers and simply better if the driver is good.

Na dont agree at all. You need to spend alot of money on a turbo charged car to getnitntonthe same response as a supercharged factory standard car. Then you soend the same money on a already amaizng response supercharged car and you have annihilation of any turbocharged car.

nah you cant get the same response as you do from a supercharger, its well known.

This is the best explanation video I've seen on KZread. Thank you so much!

Totally agree, the heat from the exhaust causes many problems , something it damaged the cylinder head completely

I personally love the way the turbo boost winds up. It's exhilarating. Put your foot down. Wait for it. Wait for it.. Wait for it... Here it comes! Wooooo!!! I also enjoy the intricacy of throttle, gear, RPM, and timing control. It's not hard to stay in the powerband if you know your car.

Is the energy lost from the engine powering the supercharger reclaimed by it's use? What I mean is, does a supercharger give back more power than a turbo after taking into account losses?

@briancastro8004

Excellent answer I would say the supercharger is more reliable and easier to build and make work properly. Turbos have that heating issue so if the car doesn’t come stock with turbo and you’re trying to make a no turbo car turbo. You’re going to have a hard time that thing is going to be heating everywhere specially if you’re a noob.

Ah, the roots blower from the late 50s and 60s, (aka) "The Iron Lung" There were not too many log trucks of that era which had been kitted out it them that didn't have a sheetmetal patch on the hood where they came through after disintegrating. But boy oh boy, did they ever improve those old 250 and 260 Cummins.

When I see a picture of both on the internet they are different to the one he touches when he talks about them.
