Thu, 25 Sep 2008 02:16:22 +0000 http://twoguysrally.com/?p=36#comment-718 [...] I have gone into detail on turbochargers in the past on how they work, and why they’re used to increase the amount of power an engine puts out. What is different about a supercharger? Well, both compress the intake air to increase power, but the supercharger’s compressor is driven mechanically (usually a belt off the crankshaft) instead of by the energy in the exhuast gas. So instead of reducing the efficiency of the engine by increasing exhaust pressure, energy is taken directly from the engine to increase power. [...] […] I have gone into detail on turbochargers in the past on how they work, and why they’re used to increase the amount of power an engine puts out. What is different about a supercharger?
