Essay on Comparing Turbochargers and Superchargers

Overall, I would say the diesel engine is the better of the two. Of course it all depends on the usage and perhaps the price of the vehicle but overall the diesel engine is more rugged and reliable, long-lasting, stronger, more efficient and requires less

When it comes to gas powered cars, there are some reasons why it’s morely prefered. First of all, the electric car is still relatively new, while gas powered cars have been around since the beginning. The transition to an electric car may not be so easy, as having a gas car is what everyone is used to. The gas powered car can also travel longer distances, due to having more power than an electric car as an electric car can travel about 100 miles in one charge. However there are many other reasons why an electric vehicle is the better choice for transportation purposes.

old muscle cars had carbureted engines and were built specifically to be fast and to be loud along

Turbochargers are bolted on the exhaust headers using exhaust gasses to spin and spool an impellor in the turbo. This is efficiently using energy that would have been wasted. When the one impellor is being spun by the exhaust the other is sucks air in the engine making boost. Since the turbo is powered by the exhaust a lot of heat is made. You do not want that to go through your engine because this could cause the engine to overheat. To prevent overheating problems an intercooler is installed. The air travels through the intercooler during the proses the air is cooled. One limitation of turbo is turbo lag, because the turbo is driven by the exhaust it takes some time for the impellor to spool, but once it is spooled you can get full boost quickly. The advancements in turbochargers have made turbo a lot better

The new "Super Turbo Fire" V-8 was the existing 1955 Chevy 265 cubic inch with a special power pack kit consisting of a special intake manifold, higher lift cam, dual exhausts and a four barrel carburetor. This kit increased the horsepower to 205 which was 14 percent above the 1955 engine at 180 horsepower. If you wanted more power Chevrolet offered a 2-4 barrel (2-four's) that achieved 225 horsepower. In 1956 Chevy was beginning to win the horsepower war both on and off the race

Investing on something that is guaranteed to work is a very smart move. If your car battery is drained of charge and is unable to run the starter car motor, then you will have a solution at hand. The most effective boosters in the market today can provide the necessary kick start quite effectively. High performance boosters are not that

To most people, speed is the only thing a car or truck needs to win a race. One way to help enhance the speed is to add a multitude of parts, some of which are as follows: Super charger, nitrous, turbo, and performance chips. These are just a few of the many options one may run into. Super chargers increase the power of an engine (Harris, William). They do this by increasing the pressure or density of air supplied to an internal combustion engine. Another way that is also cheaper than

During the late 1900’s, fuel efficiency was given very little thought by automakers. Instead, they competed with each other by coming out with larger and more powerful

Gas car vs electric car Many people believe Electric cars are the new way to travel because they believe gas cars are obsolete. It is controversial because people agree that electric cars are better for the environment but they don’t believe that they are practical. People believe that electric vehicles are better for the environment than gas cars but they tend to stick to gas cars because of the hassle free refueling and maintenance. Gas cars pros Most people will agree that even with government rebates on electric vehicles, the cheapest gasoline powered economy cars are thousands of dollars more affordable.

To make the right decision for your vehicle, let’s break down the differences between premium and regular unleaded gasoline.

When it comes to choosing a motor, there are tons of options to choose from. Although horsepower is often the main concern for some people, there are many other factors you want to look at before making up your mind on what you want. During this review I will compare the ls1 and lt1 motors, looking at all the differences and similarities and decide which one has the most bang for its buck.

It’s time for the spring meeting and many of you have already started your T, some never put her to bed and some are yet to give her that first crank. Last fall I began having difficulty with my engine running rough and missing with no power. At first I blamed it on the ignition and though I did have some (well maybe more than some) problems, what I fixed didn’t seem to really straighten it out much. I began to suspect the carburetor. I have an early 20’s Holley NH that is a replacement but that was about 20 some years ago. I have had my Coupe for 10 years now and have never worked on the carburetor.

Some cars can not be compared because they have the same engines and cover the same distances so logically there would be no comparison to make. For example, Toyota highlander and Lexus RX 400h both have 3.3 liter 6 cylinder engine and they both cover 28 city and 27 highway miles per gallon. However, we cannot fail to note that there are some cars that have the same engines but deliver different results.

Imagine roaring down the highway in a Supercharged 5.4 Shelby Mustang, and then a turbocharged civic pulls up honking their horn trying to race. What is the best choice in this situation: one could be an adult and ignore them or man up and show the civic who’s boss. Many of us face these decisions every day, but others do not because they do not drive the right car. For a truly great car it should be high in performance, durable and enjoyable to drive.

The rising cost of gasoline makes many people wince when they are pulling into the gas station. There are also several different types of gasoline available, each with a different price. So, how do you know which type of gasoline is the best for your vehicle and why is there such a difference in the cost of different grades? Is it beneficial to pay a little extra for premium? Here are some answers to the most common questions about the difference between the grades of gasoline.
