Best Answer

A supercharger is controlled by its pulley size. The smaller the supercharger drive pulley is, the higher in boost pressure you will see. Now if you go with a larger crank pulley, this too will cause you to see more boost.

So, in all honestly, the only way to really over boost your supercharger is when you mess around with the pulleys.

(out of it's efficency)A larger supercharger drive pulley was added to the superchargerA smaller crank pulley was added to the engineTo much boost pressure for the by pass valve causing it to open up when you hit higer boost pressuresLeak in the ductingSupercharger is going badThose are just some of the more common reasons.


What is better between supercharge and turbochage?

Better or worse is based on the needed application. However there is very few advantages of a turbo over a supercharger. The only advantage of a turbo is if you are racing the engine over distance in which max boost and max power is required for a sustained amount of time. The heat a turbo creates causes problems to everything under the hood such as wiring, hoses ect... a turbo and a supercharger are totally different applications. a supercharger forces air into the intake with the fuel to make it burn better. a turbocharger works on the exhaust side. a supercharger will make an engine reach higher rpms faster. a turbo will make it pull better


Which is stronger procharged or supercharged?

I think your question is which has more power roots supercharger or a centifugal supercharger. Both are superchargers. A roots type will have the same boost from 1000 rpm and up, the procharger gains boost with rpm so it won't have full boost till over 4000 rpm. both have a purpose. A turbocharger is superior to both. A roots and a procharger both use engine horsepower to turn, a turbocharger uses waste heat and the exhaust velocity to operate. the roots is better for lowend performance, the procharger is best for upper rpm performance. the turbocharger is more complicated but it beats both hands down when setup right with a innercooler.

Horsepower of 97 Ford 460 with vortec supercharger?

The 460 has been sitting at about 250 HP for years with the advent of fuel injection. The addition of low-boost out-of-the-box Vortecs will add about 90 HP, just shy of 350 HP. With the addition of an intercooler, boost can be increased pushing HP over 400. Care must be taken with "adjusting" ignition to take full advantage of the addition of an intercooler.

How to fix a supercharger with rattling in snout of supercharger is there a diagram?

If your supercharger is an Eaton type supercharger and it is making noise that is an early indication that the supercharger might need a rebuild. A lot of times the noise is actually coming from a little coupler that is located in the inside of the supercharger. This coupler has 6 holes in it and over time these rounded holes will wear out and become an oval shape. Once it becomes oval shape the supercharger will start to make a rattle sound. If left untreated the rattle will lead to the bearings going bad and then the seals. You will then need to get a complete rebuilt done on the supercharger. The coupler is easy to replace. You basically have to take the supercharger noise off with the 6 bolts that holds it and then once the two ends pull a part the coupler will be sitting right there. Just slide the coupler off of the pins and replace it. Then slide the two ends together and bolt it back up. You will also need to refill the supercharger with oil.
