Default Once again Supercharge VS Turbocharge


Now that we have a market for both areas... (even though the supercharger is still out of mass market) do we have any 'expected final' dynos from either Greddy's Turbo or Comptech's? Supercharger?

From what I understand, it works like this.

Supercharge : Ran by the engine, usually by belt, to force air in from the ground up (meaning all RPM range, the power is there from start to finish).

whereas Turbo: Is powered by exhaust, more exhaust at higher revs, more air forced into engine.... so turbo works best at high revs.


Thats how i understand it. While turbo yeilds lots of power on the high end, the supercharger offers continuous power throughout....

This is why I want to see what a super+vtec yeilds VS a Turbo.

do you have to disengage your VTEC for Turbo Charging? i would personally go with turbo charge. if you dont want that big of a lag then get a smaller turbo that would boost quicker. i would seriously go with Turbo Charging. since when racing ur are always on high RPMs. Turbo is way better in High RPMS

it depends on how you tune it
a good tuned turbo can easily be as good as a supercharger
