    using an established and credible publisher. Authors Theodosios Korakianitis and T. Sadoi write about the relationship between engine size and turbocharger size in their article, “Turbocharger-Design Effects on Gasoline-Engine Performance”. Their research examined overall efficiency and performance of differently size combinations of engine and turbochargers (Korakianitis, Sadoi, 2005, p.525). This article proves to be an effective rhetorical analysis because the authors examine an important topic

    Superchargers and turbochargers both are methods of forced induction. Forced induction is delivering compressed air to the engine. The reason for forced induction is simple more air means to more power. When the engine is using the compressed air, it is called boost. Superchargers and turbochargers are the two common types of forced induction. A supercharger is driven by a belt like an alternator. A turbocharger is driven by the flow of exhaust. The debate of which is better is one of the most talked

    perhaps add a personal touch. This type of activity might be mistaken by many to be reserved for racing “junkies”, but if we take a closer look, it actually proves to be quite beneficial in terms of fuel consumption and safety. Superchargers or turbochargers are known to increase engine efficiency and power, whereas advanced suspension and braking tend to drastically upgrade handling and thus safety. A carefully designed exhaust system can

    Supercharger The process of supercharging is to increase the increase the amount of air intake in an engine by making use of a compressor. This compressor is also called a supercharger. A supercharger works by increasing the pressure or density of air supplied to an engine, which allows for burning of more fuel per cycle by the engine because of the increased oxygen with the increased amount of air being supplied to the engine. The compressor takes in the air from the atmosphere at atmospheric

    engine mods are more helpful to that matter. Turbochargers are the most common for the fact that they only rely on the exhaust stream to power them. There is some downsides, they have a thing called “turbo lag”. A turbocharger needs to get up to higher RPM for it to work. There is a few ways to fix that though, the most common is a twin turbo. It needs less RPM to get up to speed and in turn gets the RPM higher quicker than lets the larger turbocharger do its job. Another problem is that it has to
