With mechanical gearboxes that can handle 75,000rpm or more, modern centrifugal superchargers are going from stretch to strength, as ‪@ProChargerSuperchargers‬ Erik Radzins explains.
While forced induction options can be traced back to a single idea, things have come a long way on the very separate parts both turbochargers and centrifugal superchargers have taken, and in this ‪@semashow‬ interview Andre and Erik run through some of the main differences between these two options, including pros and cons.
Also touched on is a great topic when it comes to the efficiency of your setup which is commonly asked about when people compare boost levels and setups, along with where people often end up switching from belt-driven superchargers to gear-driven setups.
Erik also mentions why the likes of centrifugal superchargers that ProCharger specialise in are more and more popular in the likes of the Pro Modified (Pro Mod) drag racing class with their linear power delivery bringing results. As alluded to, it doesn't matter if you have 400hp or 4,000hp, if you can't get it to the ground correctly you're wasting your time.

Question? Have you looked into using the petal style of throttle body and run draw through to improve efficiency? The german aircraft ran that and saw great benefits at partial throttle as the air entering is already spinning fast and offloading the impeller.

@danbenson7587 7 ай бұрын

The gears appear straight cut spurs. Would recommend helical because they are quieter, and stronger. They can be arranged so their thrust helps counter the impeller thrust. If spline-connected to the shaft so they can slide, it’s possible for them to dampen torque pulses. Cheers

In the shop next door is a Camaro with 500+ cubic inch Procharged engine. We looked at the dyno info for both the 1960's Potvin Chevy and the Procharged engine and the curves for torque are very similar. Much higher in the modern engine of course, but different that with a belt driven blower. I'm not well versed in making sense of that sort of data, but I remarked about how similar it was to each other and even the guys with the dyno had to take a look.

ProCharger does actually have a compressor you can buy with a programmable CVT gearbox, called the 'i-1'. Or at least they did anyway, I haven't heard anything about it in a while, honestly might not have sold too many because it was a little more expensive of course and, honestly, the "need" for more boost down low out of centrifugals is a bit blown out of proportion for most applications. It's for street car stuff, I don't know how far anyone has pushed the i-1 but ProCharger says they're good for a max of 900HP.

@501isa Жыл бұрын

@@bennyb.1742 I would imagine the CVT would be used before a gearbox that reaches the crazy speeds. Basically run it so it can shift the input speed to the gearbox 1/3RD up or down from crank speed. Allowing it to be under driven under driven at idle and low load cruising then to be over driven to get the compressor into its efficiency range when the engine RPM is climbing.

CVT driven centrifugal blowers have been made. Major example was the Daimler Benz DB605 built by Germany during WW2. In that case the blower was driven by a fluid coupling, varying the amount of fluid (engine oil) in the coupling gave variable speed. A simpler and more reliable option is to use a multi speed gearbox. Most WW2 plane engines were set up that way, usually two speeds were available shifted by clutches. The reason they went to the trouble in both cases is so that the superchargers could compensate for higher altitudes by increasing the drive speed.

every time i drive a roots or screw car, its almost unusable on the street. you give them more than h 30 or 40% throttle and they just want to blow the tires off. every centri ive driven is basically like a NA car until you cross the RPM threshold for boost. if im cruising on the interstate at 70 mph, i dont want to be making 2 or 3lbs of boost because of my gearing since im in a manual. they come on line when you really want to put the pedal down. i used to be a roots guy but now im a centri guy because ive been able to experience both several times now on different platforms and ive just come to favor centris.

@@Day1Mechanic Yeah it's a bitch having all that power available low in the powerband. In lower gears it takes some throttle control to reduce wheelspin but in higher gears you can mash the pedal at any RPM and feel the joy. I rode 170 HP literbikes for a decade and you can't give them a lot of throttle @ lower PRM in the lower gears or you'll land on your head. It was fun then and it is fun on 4 wheels as well.

A centrifugal supercharger is basically a turbocharger without the exhaust turbine, so it’s driven off the crank. Well there’s no reason why a turbocharger can’t also be driven off a crank as well, so they can ‘crank’ plenty of air before exhaust pressure builds up on the turbine & so, using the benefits of a variable gear drive, can also put power back into the crank. This is called turbo-compounding & was popular in aero engines in the immediate post-WWII period & some trucks today

I always get miffed when i hear people talk about parasitic drag. A turbocharger has parasitic drag, via pumping loses on the exhaust stroke. Centrifugal especially and Twin Screws even are very close to turbochargers in terms of efficiency.

@AndrewShingange Жыл бұрын

Can you prove this?

@josephschaefer9163 11 ай бұрын

Turbos use more heat energy than mechanical drive energy. Therefore less parasitic loss

@SpecialEDy 11 ай бұрын

@josephschaefer9163 Not exactly. Pressure, temperature, and volume are all the same thing. A turbocharger generates exhaust backpressure, whereas a performance exhaust on a supercharged or NA engine generates scavenging(vacuum). Typically, the backpressure on a turbocharged engine is anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the amount of boost generated by the turbo, with the center of that range giving the best balance between turbo lag and undersized turbo. The backpressure means that the piston has to exert energy in order to force exhaust through the turbo on the exhaust stroke. So, an NA engine has a parasitic loss or pumping loss, drawing in air on the intake stroke. A supercharger has a parasitic loss spread out over all 4 strokes. A turbocharger has a pumping loss on the exhaust stroke. Turbochargers and superchargers are both more efficient than piston strokes at moving air. This means that a 6 to 1 compression ratio engine with 15lbs of boost will have an effective compression ratio of 12 to 1, and will be more energy efficient than a similar NA engine with a 12 to 1 compression ratio. Because, the forced induction device is more energy efficient at compressing air and pumping air than the intake or compression stroke of a piston. In other words, superchargers and turbochargers have overall less pumping losses than a similar horsepower NA engine because the pumping loss savings offset the power to drive the compressor/blower. But turbochargers nonetheless leech power from the engine, directly from the crankshaft via the exhaust stroke. This is more efficient than a supercharger, but not as much as you'd think. When I was looking through compressor maps trying to size for my 4.0L, at 15lbs of boost a twin screw supercharger would require about 40hp at redline, a centrifugal supercharger would require about 35 hp at redline, and a turbo would require about 30hp at redline.

Can you run centrifugal sc with a manuel trans ? I can be full throttle at 2500 😅

Cool but what would be cooler is a supper-turbo like on EMD 710's you get the best of both worlds just imigine the awesome response of a supper charger and the efficiency of a turbo.

Could someone explain why I wouldn’t want to use a wastegate to regulate boost on a d1x procharged forged internal ls7? I like the idea of spinning the procharger faster and bleeding off the boost once it hits a certain target psi for much more midrange power and street-ability similar to a turbocharger powerband but without the lag. (D1x max psi is 32 I’m planning to target 15 psi)

I have a centrifugal on my 2020 mustang gt. It's awesome but I should've got a pd blower. For my driving style I've always liked the down low power (which the coyote does not have at all)

Ahh this reply went on the wrong comment. Someone mentioned height differences between Connor and Joel in another interview. Close is good! We instruct people to do that to help avoid them slowly shuffling away during an interview which is super common. I guess it could also count as romantic bonding, that's up to them I guess although they'd probably both just be happy to settle for an interview only 😂 - Taz.

I have a 4 speed 200r4 but with 4.30 gears a Turbo or PD Blower would leave me with a ton of traction issues in 1st and 2nd which would suck since I daily my car. Centrifugal is the only way to go if you dont want to be punished for aggressive gearing.

Would a prochargeer work on a 13b pp high compression motor?

@NicoKyunKyun 6 ай бұрын

you could, but it's not ideal, full PP is engineered to make more power at high rpm because of the overlap, kinda like big cams, you would need to change your engine completely by using side port and maybe semi pp, also use less compression rotors

@darksu6947 11 ай бұрын

It comes down to how much money you want to spend and what you want your torque curve to look like. I would go with a belt-driven supercharger simply because you're not going for crazy hp numbers and it's not something you see very often on a 2jz. You'll be the coolest kid in the neighborhood and it will be very reliable.

@SebastianBlix Жыл бұрын

I always enjoy these interviews, thank you! That said, between a standard roots/screw blower and a turbo, a centrifical supercharger does kinda sound like the worst of both worlds. I'm sure it definitely has its's place mostly in uber high hp very custom drag applications (and sales back that up) but doesn't look like a good fit for more "street" or circuit applications. Still, awesome tech.

@crackpotfox Жыл бұрын

Having driven 5-600 hp v8s with both TVS and centrifugal blowers, i think putting it that way kind of glosses over parts of each type of blower. The TVS mustang was absolutely brutal to drive. Very hard to control due to the huge amount of torque available down low. Not a bad thing to have a broad torque band, just hard to drive. The centrifugal makes little boost until you get some speed into it. Sure, it's disadvantaged, however, it does have awesome driveability. Plus if you want boost, just downshift once or twice. You're going to be at higher RPM when you want the power anyway.

@veganjoy 11 ай бұрын

@@crackpotfox yeah i mean it's still gonna be making half boost at half rpm right? just seems to me like a waste at anything under peak rpm which is where a street car lives often. and probably a reason every oem in the past 20 or 30 years has only gone with PD blowers. plus the sound is hard to beat

@crackpotfox 11 ай бұрын

@biruitor1680 I mean, at WOT, are you at half rpm or full rpm? I'm usually at the top half of the rev range at wot.

@nerd1000ify 11 ай бұрын

The lower boost at lower RPM could be an advantage for a street car, less boost means less fuel used (as less air is flowing) and also less torque needed to drive the supercharger, so your fuel economy will probably be quite a bit better than a PD blower. Of course turbos also have this property. And they are cheaper, no super high speed gearbox required.

@crackpotfox 11 ай бұрын

@nerd1000ify To be fair, modern (as of like 30 years ago) pd blowers use a bypass valve that essentially disables boost unless your throttle is open enough. And turbos are certainly not cheaper. Look at turbo kits vs centrifugal kits. Centri supercharging is cheaper than a turbo setup or a PD setup, unless it's chinese junk.
