DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SUPERCHARGER AND TURBOCHARGER? 😳 #cars #jdm #racing #supercharger #turbo

[Yuhcars]

There are many differences between superchargers and turbochargers. So fellow car experts, feel free to share below! (will be liking the best ones) 🏎️💨

Supercharger = Technology


Turbocharger = Magic

[Owshie]

Supercharger: Screams
Turbocharger: Stutters (STUTUTUTU)

[ColeN]

I’ve never met anyone who thinks a turbo and a supercharger are the same thing…

[thedumbconspirator]

That taycan is a great example of a turbo car

[jewel]

Supercharger - same day delivery

Turbo- next day delivery

[Manoah.]

I'm a big fan of turbo's (I have never owned an N/A car in my life lol) but I can appreciate superchargers too, some just sound sooo good

[SosukeAizen]

Who tf think that a supercharger and turbocharger are the same 💀

[BM-_KATYUSHA]

Superchargers are underrated, they are way more reliable and have no lag!

[HVLOVRSE]

Supercharger: Instant power but parasitic loss
Turbocharger: More efficient but has turbo lag
Twin Charging: Engine may explode

[barnykirashi]

is also the difference of how much boost pressure they can make.
A very high pressure Turbo is called a Turbo-Supercharger, and the most notorious user was and still is the Republic P-47D Thunderbolt.

Aviation was the primary playing field for forced induction, as higher altitudes suffocated the engines.
In World War I, overcompression was a thing, but then it was realised that you can use a compressor turbine to push air into the engine at high altitudes, where the air is thin.
By World War II, most aero-engines were supercharged, mostly mechanically driven.
The Rolls Royce Merlin used by the Hurricane, Spitfire and the P-51 Mustang (since the B anc C models), De Havilland Mosquito, Avro Lancaster, and a bunch had centrifugal, geared superchargers on the crankshaft, The Rolls Royce Griffon also had it, since it was a direct upgrade of the Merlin.
The Germans 3 main Manufacturers were Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Junkers.
Daimler/Mercedes and Junkers both built primarly inverse V-12 engines with centrifugal, mechanically driven superchargers 90 degrees rotated to the side, compared to the Crankshaft. MB had the DB-600, 601, 605, and the larger 603.
Junkers had the Jumo 211 in the Ju-87 Stuka, and the Jumo 213....we get to that.

On the other hand, the Soviets mostly were fine with NA engines, since in Soviet Russia weather is fucking awful, and nobody needs to fly too high.
Mikoyean-Gurevich Design Bureau had their prototype for an Interceptor, the I-225, which would have used Turbocharger(s) but it did not go far.

What used Turbochargers were American planes, such as the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress, and the Lockheed P-38 Lightning.
Only then, after Republic's failed attempts at designing a new fighter did they build an insane machine, where the Fuselage was the afterthought, and the Engine was the primary design element.
The Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp was a 46 liter twin row 18 cylinder was already a formidable engine, and Republic decided to hook it up to a Pallet-Sized Exhaust Driven, Intercooled Turbo-Supercharger
By default the Turbo would blow itself up, so it had to be regulated.
The Engine was of course in the nose, but the Turbo was in the Tail, and all the piping required made the plane an Absolute Unit.
the front Exhaust pipes have butterfly valves, that can be closed off, to increase the exhaust pressure to the Turbo, and make it spin faster.
under 5500-6000 meters of altitude if the valves were closed, the charger would generate too much air pressure and literally break itself.
But up over 6 kilometers, the Turbo worked to it's fullest and kept the engine operating at full, 2700 horsepower, which was only to be met by a single German Foe.

Kurt Tank was a German engineer, who at the time wanted to revive the Radial Engine as a source of power for prime fighter aircraft, not only as a secondary option for necessity.
At the Time Water-Cooled V engines were viewed as superior to Radials, because a V engine could have an aerodynamic cowling.
Kurt's Idea was that, yes the nose would be aerodynamic, but the radiators would increase drag.
His proposal was the Focke-Wulf Fw-190A, which was by it's first iteration a smash hit in the Luftwaffe.
The Bf-109 needed a major update to keep up with Tank's design.
The engine of the plane was the BMW 801, a 14 cylinder Radial engine with a Centrifugal Supercharger.
But this was still made for 4 kilometers to 5.5 kilometers in altitude.
It was only later in the War, when the Moustache Man was beginning to fear the deployment of Boeing's new bomber, the B-29, which was to fly way too high, so the very very bad man went to Kurt, to upgrade his wonder-fighter (wunderjägdflugzeug) and there was 3 preliminary designs for this upgrade:
The Fw-190C was to be equipped with the DB-603, without it's Supercharger, and a big Turo was slung under the Fuselage, but the performance wasn't too good
The B was simply the C, but with simply keeping the Supercharger. This had the best performance potential, but the DB-603 was still new, and had issues, so the D version was selected, which had the Jumo 213, but otherwise the same as the B.
Kurt wanted to go forward with the B variant.

Then there was the further, and final evolution, the Focke-Wulf Ta-152 Series.
The C variant was a Fighter-Bomber, and it would finally go forward with the DB-603.
The H Variant was the machine, which had 3 Supercharger gears, and the damned thing could fly at 10200 meters at full power.

all you need is anti lag on that turbo and you're good to go baby

[danielmatheis]

If you choose your parts wisely you will have almost no turbo lag...bigger is not better. It's better to completely squeeze out a smaller one.

[EliasJoudy-qgxl]

Love how he shows a Tycan when he’s talking about turbos

[gutzee_]

Turbocharger = Top Speed
Supercharger= Acceleration

[gnralnsanity]

I'll always love a supercharger just a bit more because I love the mechanical whine it makes in a v8

[jonasalbert]

And then there is Lancia. They hadnt much interests for the negatives of both. But they had mich interests on much horsepower and the best Performance. Because of this they put both Parts on their Lancia Delta S4 Group B Monster.

[fhgamer]

Turbochargers give high power outputs at higher speeds and RPM as Superchargers give lots of power AND torque at lower speeds and RPMs.

[robertvanderlinden]

Another aspect is peak power, superchargers suffer from parasitic loss as you said and are capasity limited but turbo's can produce way higher airpressure and by that more peak power but spool way slower

[axamesvc]

Turbo all the way. It's the best option for tuners cuz it's customizable.
