When you say super or turbo charged to a regular person, they may not know why its good, but they know it’s good.... real good. The words have become so synonymous with more power that they are being used on cars that don’t even have turbos..... or engines.
Whether you are looking to buy a car that already has one, or you want to upgrade your naturally aspirated car, the age-old question remains. Which one is better?
A normal engine has 4 strokes, suck, squeeze, bang and blow. Individually these sound your late-night search history, but when you combine them the tell you how an engine works. First you suck the air into the engine, then the piston comes back up and squeezes the air fuel mixture, then you spark plug ignites the mixture and bang, your piston is sent back down only to return up and blow out the spent gases into the exhaust.
To get more power out of an engine you need more air and fuel to make a bigger bang. This is where forced induction like turbos and superchargers come in. Superchargers and turbos both operate under the same principle, force in more air make bigger bang. The difference between the 2 is how they accomplish said forcing.
A turbo charger uses a shaft with 2 spiny wheels attached to it. These spiny wheels are separate by the hot and cold side of the turbo. The hot side of the turbo is attached the exhaust and the cold side to the intake. Turbos use the spent exhaust gas from the combustion process to spin the turbo which allows it to force more air into the engine
A supercharger in our case uses 2 twisty shafts that are attached to a pulley. That pulley is belt driven and spins the 2 twisty shafts together forcing more air into the engine.
Let’s talk about advantages and disadvantages
Turbos are more efficient since they use exhaust gases that are already a byproduct of combustion to drive them. The down side of this is that it takes time for a turbo to spool since the exhaust gas at low RPM are not moving fast enough to create boost. This efficiency gives them more power potential, but has a down side of turbo lag. Also, they make cool noises
Superchargers have instant power, the second you mash your foot the the floor its go time, but that instant power comes at the cost of efficiency. Since superchargers are belt driven you robbing HP from the engine to drive the supercharger. An while the supercharger is a giver its a giver and a taker. Also it makes cool noises like whaaaaa
When it comes to upgrading naturally aspirated engines with one of these things get pretty distant. Turbos are much more widely used in general, are easier to retrofit and make more power. While superchargers are not very wide spread, more challenging to retrofit and make less power. This generally gives turbos the edge for cost and power potential.
When it comes to buying a car just pick the car that’s best overall vehicle for you. The advantages of one over the other don’t warrant avoiding either. But its probably going to be a turbo car, since there are not a ton of supercharged cars on the market. Orrrr Why not both?

Mayor difference that you didn't mention: torque with a supercharger is linear, it increases simultaneously with the rpm when you are accelerating. Turbochargers have a mostly flat toque band, usually starting from 1500-2500 rpm all the way to redline, or it's tapers of at the end because the turbo is too small for adequate boost at the end.

Higher end Twin Screw Superchargers negate the efficiency loss and in select applications outperform turbo applications. Superchargers are also much much cooler than Turbos, and because they have boost on full the bypass is essential. Engine pulley Lso improves stability so superchargers tend to be a lifelong engine's friend. Turbochargers also more negatively affect low end because engine fights wheel spin up where a supercharger force clears. Now turbochargers are easier to jump fast swathes of power and switch over power it is not hard to do that with supercharger. Sizing is essential for both, turbo is certainly king of the top end however do not disregard supercharger on boost loss on top, this is because cfm need and processing of motor is more efficient than available output. In summary think of supercharger as a bar that raises with pulley selection, initial size of motor vs literage of engine is only real dilemma, unmodified engines pay heavy penalties with supercharger. Turbo is a exponential slide, add tons of boost pay for it only on the low rpms, above about 2,200 rpm for most engines is usually enough to rotate even 76mm wheels pretty well, 80mm up you need exhaust manifolds and an engine that has spunk on its own. Few notes, for supercharger nearly all stock superchargers are roots and TVS type, which are trash efficiency of about 40-70% versus TwinScrew and Centrifugal types which start over 80% and often exceed 90%. Centrifugal sc's are nearly completely louder than most would would like on street not often a pleasant noise, though some gearing and shrouds mitigate that not a great time, usually legal outcry if you have heavy police watch. Turbochargers operate somewhere between 76%(Ebay special) and 88%(IHI and most modern turbos) with some well selected ball bearing ceramics pushing 92+ on case by case at specific boost and operation routines. Issues with supercharging maintenance is far easier and install and removal usually basic. SC intercooler of fixed displacement (not centrifugal tube's with belts) are water to air, run risk of loss if damaged, limping is not usually risky. Superchargers run their own oil. Turbo and Centrifugal SC share risks and advantages with exception of heat. Lose the oil and/or water lines and it is a nearly certain fatality for the system. Tuning a fixed displacement supercharger like B8 is super steady consistent. Turbos can vary wildly based on temps and fuel output mapping errors or bad sensor readings. Research options both are fun for their own functions. Both operate almost same on street mileage if you pedal right below boost, but epic shifts in smiles are not exclusive to either.

@@joehart6406 turbo's work on a variable function based on rpm and heat is usually biggest threat in design. A well sized air to air intercooler fixes most that. Superchargers work on a flat performance, issue is a super charger's volume will not expand with rpm and falls off efficiency and eventually becomes useless. Air to water intercoolers are needed for 11psi or more on older v8's and above 6psi in general for any high compression "hemi" type engines, which may include BMW or new Mustangs for example. Find out your power requirement and find the correct efficiency on say whipple's site or Garrett's turbo maps. Without a solid power goal this is extremely difficult to answer because comes down to technical issues

Thank you for this. I always knew the difference in how they work, but not their advantages and disadvantages. The turbo revolutionised the diesel engine both in terms of torque and reduced fuel consumption. Also they are more reliable on diesels as they run at much lower revs (due to the higher compression ratio) and hence are cooler.

There are some other things worth mentioning. The free spooling turbocharger allows for altitude compensation. A supercharger is slaved to the crankshaft so as elevation and temperature increases (esp a combination of both) then the power adding the supercharger gives is lost as in an NA engine (albeit from a higher power potential). A turbocharger has a key advantage here as it can maintain manifold pressure automatically. A turbocharger also costs power in the form of pumping losses esp when it is on high boost but blower pumping loss is always there esp when cruising - whereas the turbo during cruise has little or no pumping loss sice it's off boost. Back to superchargers, in aviation some general aviation had a pilot selectable 2sp gearbox to compensate for altitude gain. As you can imagine it is problematic and turbochargers are simpler and lighter. So as you mentioned a turbo has a clear benefit. It can maintain rated power most of the time and doesn't cost fuel during cruise - however I still want a blower lol.

Not true. Actually to get real power from a supercharger you have to which engine components. Turbo you don't. Turbos are budget friendly and don't put a pounding on your engine. A supercharger puts a pounding on your engine and if you don't upgrade your engine components you will break something for sure. This is why when a company adds a supercharger on a car it doubles in price and not the case with a turbo.

@@rayshaunedwards6572 Actually it is the oposite, turbo,which nowdays usualy provides above 1 bar of boost in most factory non peformance cars puts more strain on the engine compared to equivelent supercharger that usualy puts out 0.5 bars. Also supercharger is easier to install onto a NA car most of the time compared to a turbo where you have to modify your car's oil feed and coolant supply to the turbo, not mentioning custom made exhaust manifold,mounting bracket,fueling and remaping involved. We are talking about basic turbo design there, while basic supercharger(roots type I think) just needs a mounting slot and a pulley, while stock ECU can compensate the extra 0.3-0.5 bars of air on it's own(of course it also depends on the size).

@@rayshaunedwards6572 any type of power adder (turbo, supercharger, procharger, nitrous) puts a strain on the engine components due to the higher amount of air and fuel being sent into the engine. A lot more vehicles are being made from factory with turbos because it doesn't cost as much compared to a supercharged vehicle. As the video stated, the supercharger robs the engine from horsepower (100 to be specific) while the turbo doesn't rob more than 30, if that. A car company will make a turbo 4 cylinder vehicle with it only using maybe 5 psi of boost and get into the 300 hp range with similar torque while maintaining 30 mpg. Companies are competing not only to be the fastest, but. Also the most fuel efficient at the same time. That's maybe the biggest reason why turbos are much more common than a supercharger

The long stroke 4 liter 4-valve engine makes excellent torque from low revs which helps. There are some heavily modified Barra engines making over 2,000HP at the wheels. We also have the Holden, GM in Australia, Commodore which was exported to the USA as the Chevy SS running the LS3 V8 and a number of supercharger kits are available with efficient twin screw superchargers from the Magnuson 2300 to the Whipple based 2900. Best of both worlds really. The only problem is that both were discontinued in 2017 but there are plenty available used.

The way the turbo pulls from spool to top end with that whistle is great. Plus being able to have the ability to adjust boost with a switch is so good. The instant off the mark hit of the supercharger is great. The noise is sexy. Swapping pulleys and belts to hit a boost target only for it to hit it at a certain RPM, before and after being low, is a touch annoying. The fix is obviously undersizing the pulley and running a bypass valve as a boost controller.

I'd buy the supercharged cause of the sound. The sound is GODLIKE

I was trying to decide which one sounded better and had to call it a tie. The turbo’s “fssssssstustustu” is godly in its own way, but a supercharger just sounds so mean😩

another difference is in NA and Supercharged engines the hottest the engine oil gets is around ~200°C while in a Turbo engine the engine oil can get to 400°C as it cools the exhaust gas driven turbo. So all things being equal surely the Supercharged engine oil would be cleaner and less stressed over the oil change interval period.

Just to add that you only get that sound on high pressure turbos. Low pressure turbos don't make any discernible sound, such as those in diesel car engines. But high pressure turbos DO sound great, totally agree ! 🥰🥰

Superchargers seem to be great at the lower rpms and quick accelerations, turbo has greater fuel efficiency and rule the higher rpm part of the power curve because they have LESS parasitic drag. Any time you put some resistance AFTER your exhaust manifold you are robbing SOME power from the engine. You are hoping that the power gained offsets the extra work you are imposing on the engine.
