There are two relatively simple options to boost (pun intended) horsepower in a vehicle: superchargers and turbochargers. But, which is better? Once again, Jason Fenske of Engineering Explained is ...

Superchargers and turbochargers both serve to increase an engine’s power by forcing a larger air-fuel mixture into the engine than it would normally get, but they go about it in different ways. A ...

What's the difference between a supercharger and a turbocharger? What's better, a supercharger or a turbocharger? Well, while ...

When it comes to boosting engine performance, car enthusiasts often debate between superchargers and turbochargers. Both options offer significant power gains, but they operate differently and come ...

Perhaps you saw the news last week about an experimental engine under development at Volvo. It’s a 2.0-liter gasoline-powered four-cylinder that cranks out an amazing 450 horsepower. At 225 horsepower ...

The ever-growing need to make smaller, more efficient engines has forced car manufacturers to rethink the traditional turbos and superchargers. On road cars, the traditional way to get more power out ...

Historically roots superchargers have been used to take big-inch V-8s to the next level of performance. And in recent years automakers have jumped on the bandwagon with the increased use of roots ...

Turbochargers have been with us in volume production only since the Seventies, but superchargers have a long and honorable automotive history. They were used on the Blower Bentleys that won Le Mans 80 ...

The classic hot-rod notion suggests there's no replacement for displacement. Detroit realized this in the early '70s as everyone except AMC, who made smaller cars, had an engine well over 400 cubic ...

It's a well-known fact that through downsizing, the act of turbocharging is gradually phasing out the good old naturally aspirated linearity due to obvious reasons. More ponies, more torque, lower CO2 ...

Toyota is working on a forced induction system that has an electric supercharger and a turbocharger. We know Toyota has been developing electric superchargers from a previous patent application for a ...

In the accelerating quest for greater fuel efficiency, boosting engines--with turbos or superchargers--is one way to pull more power out of a given displacement. Traditionally, superchargers have been ...
