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 ...

Since the invention of the automobile, engineers and enthusiasts alike have been working on squeezing more power from their engines through advanced designs and robust aftermarket add-ons. Options ...

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 ...

Turbochargers are everywhere. In fact, just about every automaker offers turbocharged engines. But just how do these little performance enhancers work, and why are they becoming so popular?

Both turbocharger and supercharger are forced induction systems, which are designed to force air into the engine. The more air and fuel into the engine, the more power it will make. Superchargers and ...

Historically roots superchargers have been used to take big-inch V-8s to the next level of performance. And in recent years automakers have jumped on the bandwagon with the increased use of roots ...

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 ...

When car enthusiasts talk about forced induction, the debate usually boils down to the question: Procharger vs supercharger. Both crank up the power, but the way each delivers the boost couldn’t be ...

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 ...

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. The concepts of turbocharging and supercharging are well-known to anyone who loves cramming things into other things, which, of course, is all ...
