Can you hypercharge a car

Answer 1

The correct terms are turbocharge or supercharge. Although the two havr similar outcomes, they are vastly different. Turbochargers are any various sized turbines, that bolt into your exhaust. When exhaust rushes through the pipes as you accelerate, the turbine(s) spin at a high rate causing a vaccum in the engine, thus pulling in morr air and fuel and allowing the engine to reach maximum rpms much quicker. A super charger is similar, however, has nothing to do with exhaust. There are two linds of superchargers. 1st, the older roots superchargers. The roots superchargers sit on top of a cars intake, this typically can only be done on domestic or australian vehicles. The air passes through the screws when accelerating, cause the same effect as a turbo, forcing more air and fuel into the cylinders via a vaccum effect. The 2nd is a newer model which is smaller and can fit on most modern domestic vehicles called a centrifical supercharger.
