Default What does a SUPERCHARGER sound like?

Out of Curiosity I was wondering if a supercharger made any sounds as far as noise is concerned or does it make the whistling sound like a turbo or what? Anyone have any ideas? Like the JRSC, does it make any sounds at all? Thanks.

The m62 emits a very noticeable whine when creating boost. Sounds awesome. I, and many others, like to compare it to a power drill on crack. I used to always get looks of,"WTF!?!!?!?!" when i would lay on the gas with my engine bay right next to somebodies open window. People had no ******* clue what it was, even most of the Honda guys i did it to were clueless.

This is a M45 on a d16. The m62 doesnt sound quite so much like a buzzsaw, but its pretty close.

Cool posts! That'll sure scare the hell out of the other guy if he/she doesn't know what it is. Totally sounds like a screaming cat or something. I wonder if it sounds as loud with the hood on.

Yo , (Strng1dah) Are you planning to add Turbo while your supercharger is installed? I think I read somewhere where they did that to a car. Forgot what it was tho... thankx... and does it totally make that psssshhhh sound when you shift? I thought that was only on turbos?

No he is getting a turbo, and no superchargers do not have a BOV.. and i doubt he is going supercharger and turbo..

and that video sounds nothing like a JRSC on a B18C.. that sounded like a damn hair dryer or something, sounded like ****! the b18C sounds tight as hell with a SC though..

nah man i already sold my JRSC to newgsrdriver on this board. The only way a SC would have that psshhh sound would be if the header was seperating from the block and exhaust gases were escaping

importthugs, yes you can intercool a supercharged car, and yes it does increase the power.
