B
Turbochargers are not connected to the engine. They utilize the exhaust
stream as an energy source by drawing it through a turbine that spins a
compressor.
B
Turbochargers aren’t as powerful as superchargers b ut they are equipped
with smog altering components that decrease the smo g that’s emitted.

B
Turbocharged engines have a positive impact on fuel efficiency and carbon emissions.
B
Turbochargers have an average RPM rate of 15,000
Superchargers Superchargers Superchargers Superchargers
B
Superchargers are directly connected to an engine b y a belt. They
utilize the engine’s crankshaft as an energy source .
B
Superchargers force compressed air into the engine to create a boost
of power.
B
This direct connection means that superchargers are more powerful than turbochargers, but they lack a
wastegate

B
Superchargers have an average RPM rate of 50,000.

A turbocharger uses the velocity and heat energy of the
searinglyhot (and expanding) exhaust gases rushing out of an
engine's cylinders to spin a turbine that drives a small
compressor, or impeller, that in turn stuffs more a ir back into
the engine.
B
A supercharger also pumps additional air into the e ngine, but
B
A supercharger also pumps additional air into the e ngine, but it is instead driven mechanically by the engine via a belt that
runs off the crankshaft or by an electric motor.

Turbocharger vsSupercharger; to each their own, be it a
turbocharger or a supercharger. Both these inductio n systems have
a purpose to fulfil.
B
Both these system work in order to squeeze the maxi mum ounce
of power and torque from an internal combustion eng ine.
However, car manufacturers have determined that the
turbocharger wins over supercharger by a relative m argin, not on turbocharger wins over supercharger by a relative m argin, not on power but providing best fuel efficiency.
B
For both superchargers & turbochargers, a significa nt part of the
design is to keep the air that goes into the engine cool. B
Air compression increases its temperature; thus, it is general to
use an intercooler to decrease the temperature of t he air among
the pump and engine.

How much horsepower does a supercharger add?
With the utilization of superchargers, the horsepow er and
torque of the engine increase considerably in the r ange of
70% to 80%. As the supercharger works out the engin e
RPM, the fuel efficiency also increases. It is a qu ick and
efficient way to increase the performance of a vehi cle. efficient way to increase the performance of a vehi cle.
B
How much horsepower does a turbocharger add?
Installing a turbocharger can yield increased power and
torque by 20% to 30%. In some situations, it can ev en
increase the power to upto 50% of the engine’s peak
capacity.

•
Superchargers can increase the peak engine power by upto
80%, making them good for racing, pulling heavy loa ds, or
just adding exhilaration to the usual driving exper ience.
•
A supercharger can eat as much as 20% of an engine’ s power
•
A supercharger can eat as much as 20% of an engine’ s power output (due to mechanical drag).
•
But just because a supercharger can provide upto80%
increase in power, this is a fair trade-off we thin k.

B
Turbochargers are complex and hard to maintain. The y’re quieter
than superchargers, but they also build up an incre dible amount
of heat, so they need to be correctly installed and insulated. The
average turbocharger needs to be replaced every 100 k-150k
miles; otherwise, it can potentially damage the eng ine.
B
Superchargers are arguably more reliable than turbo chargers.
B
Superchargers are arguably more reliable than turbo chargers. They’re easy to install and maintain. They’re loude r than
turbochargers—they enhance the RPMs by a considerabl e
amount—and they’re also more common as a result.
Turbocharger Pros B
Wastegateproduces significantly fewer carbon emissi ons
B
Ideal in high-altitude conditions
B
Lightweight, low impact on a car’s fuel economy
B
Runs quietly
B
Overall more efficient
Cons
B
Takes time for a turbocharger to produce power boos t
B
Complex installation and maintenance
B
Runs extremely hot
Supercharger Pros B
Easy to install and maintain
B
Produces significantly more power than a turbocharg er
B
Delivers power boost at lower RPMs
B
Brake power increases by 30-45%
B
Overall more reliable
Cons
B
No wastegate= more carbon emissions

Auto manufacturers have decided: the turbocharger w ins by a wide margin. It's not so much about power but rathe r fuel wide margin. It's not so much about power but rathe r fuel efficiency.
B
Federal requirements for ever-improving fuel econom y, strict
greenhouse-gas emissions standards, and customers' desire
for good fuel mileage have driven carmakers to use turbos
rather than superchargers.
