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 type of supercharger should I use on my car? There are a lot of options for forced induction, whether going the ...
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 ...
Q: Greg, I think I can stump the professor. Who was the first racer to utilize a GM 6-71 blower? I have a six-pack riding on this. Also, what do you feel is better? Supercharging, Turbocharging or ...
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 ...

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 ...
Understand the real difference between a Procharger and a supercharger. Learn how each boosts performance, power delivery, ...
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 ...
