Scotty Kilmer There's one more advantage to a supercharger vs a turbo, they don't deaden the exhaust note like turbos do. So they sound a whole lot better. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Scotty Kilmer hey Scotty I like your videos and I was looking at this video about supercharger versus turbocharger I rather go with a naturally aspirated engine that way when those superchargers or turbochargers go you got to pay a lot of money to replace them you have no problem with a naturally aspirated engine but I do like ram-air what you think about that

@fh276 6 жыл бұрын

Centrifugal superchargers, are nothing more than belt driven turbos. Granted, you can change pulley sizes. But they don't work from idle. Unlike a Rootes, blower. What you don't realise, a turbo is always spinning. And providing torque, with no loss to the motor. And next to no lag, properly sized, for the application. 400 ponies, at my back tyres, with a tame setup. More available quite, easily! Oh, and i am an "old school" guy. Impressed the shit out of me, especially the fuel economy! I'll take that at, $6.7275 a gallon. That is a 4.5 liter gallon. 8 liters, per 100 kilometers. I can get, less than that, at 110 kmph. Like, 7.8 litres, per 100.

@nit0134 4 жыл бұрын

Here's what I think. Turbos are better for highway pulls and taking it to the dragstrip, but superchargers are way better for daily driving. Since you have turbo lag, when you're daily driving you're never really gonna get or feel that power unless you're doing random pulls on the highway, where as superchargers the power is always there and can get insane pulls just because you put your foot down a little while you were coming off a red light lol

I have had both. Turbos can be troublesome in regards to heat management. They add ALOT of heat up in the engine bay. Turbo exhaust manifold brings your intake air temps way up and can also melt some of your plastic parts that are near it. You can also heat soak your inter cooler really quick. Couple of hard runs and your car is now not fast anymore because your car is pulling timing to deal with the over heated air that’s causing the engine to knock due to pre ignition of the gas. Many of these issues you don’t have to deal with with a blower.

Supercharger : gets boost faster. Turbo : gets more boost.

@102wingnut 6 жыл бұрын

Micheal Dimitrick depends on the type of each you are using. A Whipple or Roots -type charger does move air pretty linearly with little lag but the ProCharger and similar radial style compressors increase boost exponentially so you still have to get the revs up high to get the full boost. A good twin or twin-scroll turbo will minimize the effects of turbo lag but they do add complexity to your setup.

@331SVTCobra 5 жыл бұрын

Micheal, are you being sarcastic? A centrifigal blower doesn't make full boost till the entire engine revs sufficiently. A turbo spools up just as fast as rotational inertia allows it to. "More boost" has nothing to do with supercharger/turbo, but is determined by sc gearing or turbo sizing, and in either case there's a pop-off valve.

Nice, I like the instant power of a supercharger too and the whine it makes is music to your ears! You should have talked about the different between centrifugal superchargers and roots superchargers, personally I prefer a top mounted roots style supercharger to a centrifugal supercharger mounted at the front of the engine. I've seen some really cool complete roots style supercharger kits that even include a tuner for the engine made by companies like edelbrock that are made for late model car and made to fit under the stock hood. Recently I saw a video of a roots style supercharger being installed on a late model Camaro and it replaced the intake manifold and sat in the valley right there and was nice and low profile and it looked super clean, the engine looked almost stock when it was done you could barely tell it was there!

A supercharger kit is MUCH easier to install and package than a turbo kit and the under hood temps are lower as well.

I own 2 cars. One has a Supercharger('05 Monte Carlo SS Supercharged w/3800 Eaton M90), the other a Turbocharger('05 Legacy GT w/2.5L EJ255 VF40 Turbo). Both are excellent, and with proper tuning you can have near-zero lag. I very much like the instant boost you get with the supercharger, and If one wants more power and their car can handle it, they can get a smaller pulley(Belt driven) for it for cheap and get extra boost. One advantage that Turbochargers over the Supercharger is they are not Parasitic and require no power. Thanks for the videos Mr Kilmer, enjoy them.

I personally prefer superchargers over turbos in that it gives you instant down low acceleration that you can use in the real world. Even a small turbo starts to come on boost around 1600 RPM in a lot of cars and even higher in performance variants. I also want to convert my 928 to Miller cycle combustion and only a supercharger would provide enough pressure at idle to do so.

Cam Solo as a 65 gt350 mustang owner I can say yes I have. It’s a misconception that superchargers make like no power. That’s only because when you think of superchargers they think of the demon or hellcat or the gt500 those are stock cars tho. You can make 800 hp from a supercharger easy

Superchargers are slightly cheaper then a good turbo kit for my car at least. But if you want to make the most power turbo is the way it's easier for them to make more power then a supercharger plus if you see any races with 2 guys around same hp lvl turbo guy usually takes it since they make more power up top aka higher rpm lvls. I went supercharger on my car since I didn't want to make anything over 800 whp.

Scotty, I’m considering a supercharger by wynnjammer for my 2012 GMC pick up with a 4.3 L engine. It’s a 2012 sierra and it’s paid for with 60,000 miles. The engine is in good shape as I change the oil with synthetic blend about every 2000 miles. The kit cost about $2400 in the computer needs to be reprogrammed. I realized I made a mistake by buying the truck with the small engine. I talked to the people at Windjammer and he claimed an easy 80 or 90 horse power increase especially if I change the fuel injectors to a larger size. I really am doing this just to make it more drivable as acceleration is very poor.

Isn't a supercharger more taxing on the engine, and doesn't the turbo has the capacity to give more power?

You can mess with turbos a little more and it's easier to get a lot of power, yes. But turbos tend to die more because of that. Superchargers are more reliable.

It just depends on how the air gets pushed. A supercharger is belt driven, turbo is exaust. You can get centrifugal superchargers which are pretty much just a belt driven turbo if you like the blowoff and want instant power.

Honestly, depends on the car in my eyes. I drive a mazdaspeed 3 so I prefer the turbo (since its stock that way). However if and when I get a muscle car, I am going to consider both options, just depends if i want to hear the spool of a turbo or the whine of a supercharger. Both can achieve HP goals just in different ways and setups.

@Freneticburn 6 жыл бұрын

superchargers are better because of the simplicity and daily drivability. They're incredibly reliable and safer to the engine in the event something is malfunctioning with the SC. So many things can go wrong with turbos and they can take your engine out along with it in the event of a malfunction. In daily driving that instant low end grunt from a SC is just more usable. I daily drive a 20 year old supercharged pontiac bonneville and it has never left me stranded.

@MARZOSIRUS 5 жыл бұрын

Scotty I love the channel. However I must say that if a person is skilled enough to install a supercharger. Then it would be cheaper to install the turbocharger. You can find brand new turbo kits for around 500 dollars. Since both turbos and superchargers would benefit from the intercooler the cost is the same on that part as well as the tune. So it really comes down to preference since you can find a used supercharger in a junkyard.
