The Age Old Debate: TURBO vs SUPERCHARGER

Turbo with a meth habit

Show me a turbo that can go 0-331 mph in 3.6 seconds.

Build two engines with the same HP. Install a blower on one and turbo the other. Adjust both for the same boost. I would bet on the turbo as the blower draws power to build power. The turbo uses wasted exhaust to build boost. Just my opinion.

I believe the blower would make more power at the same boost psi due to volume of air. Turbos make great power at higher boost psi...Blowers make great power at low boost psi....I could be wrong.

It takes 500 HP to run the blower on a top fuel engine. Just a little info.

May be true, but it helps it make 11,000. From an investment standpoint, it’s a no brainer…

I prefer turbos, specially in rotary engines.
