Yes it is possible to run a supercharger and turbo on the same engine but the process is very complicated and is very inefficient. As turbos annd superchargers create heat while they work so when you use both, the air going into will become very hot unless you use a very large intercooler. They do create a wider power band however as the turbo will create power in the high RPM range and the supercharger will work more at low RPM. By using both you can eliminate their weaknesses but as I said it takes a lot of work, money and cooling power!

Can a car run out of turbo?
you cant run out of "turbo" what a turbo does is it forces air and fuel inside the engine faster by spooling up from the flow of the exhaust the difference between it and a supercharger is that the supercharger is ran off the belt not the exhaust gases they produce "boost" (the amount of psi the turbo or supercharger is pushing out) turbo is the shortened name for turbocharger
Is a turbo charger or supercharger better for a 08 Honda Civic SI?
well, IMO a supercharger would be better because it gives you the ability to run your engine safely under boost unlike a turbo that really doesnt have a limit, superchargers also feed of your engine and always have boost applied
Can you run a turbo and a supercharger at the same time on a 1991 talon?
Yes it is possible. You would be better off running 2 turbos.
Can you put a supercharger on a stock engine?
You can put a supercharger on a stock engine it depends on how much boost you run wether your engine can handle it or not.
What is the difference between a supercharger and a turbocharger in a car?
a supercharger is run by belt,turbocharger is run by ex. gases.supercharger is better ........actually it depends on the motor and what kind of turbo/supercharger you put on it,so neither is technically better than the other
If you wanted to put a turbo into your civic sir which is v-tec 1.6 displacement would you have to remove the v-tec supercharger or can you run both and what would be the cost of this project?
There is no suck thing as a vtec supercharger. Vtec is hondas infamous variable valve timing system. Honda Civic SIRs dont have superchargers from the factory unless installed afterwards (ie. aftermarket such as the ones from Jackson Racing). If you have a supercharger installed, it is most likely that you wont be able to add a turbocharger unless you have all the money in the world because it will cost you a fortune to run both. You will run into many problems such as equalizing boost and intake plumbing.At one point in time, Volkswagen was testing an engine that was run by both turbo and supercharger but they abandoned the project because of the complexity and the cost to produce such an engine.
Will you engine work if your turbo is broke?
Yes, The turbo is just a booster but the engine makes a car run.
Can you still run the engine if the belt on the supercharger breaks?
If the belt only drives the supercharger, you should still be able to run it, but expect a drop in performance. Have it repaired as soon as possible
Does a turbo decrease fuel consumption?
A turbo will increase your gas mileage, yes. It does not run off power from the engine, it runs off the exhaust system to boost engine power. Your engine has to work less for the same power.
Does ford focus rs need a turbo timer fitted?
A turbo timer lets some oil run through the turbo after hard use. You can accomplish the same thing by letting the engine run a minute before you cut the ignition.
What is a electric supercharger?
An electric supercharger is essentially an electric motor run off a car's alternator driving a high speed fan which attempts to force more air into a car's air intake. The idea is the same as a turbocharger or supercharger, the more air and fuel forced into the combustion chamber the more power that will be developed by the engine. The only difference between a turbocharger or supercharger and the electric supercharger is that the electric supercharger is limited by how much power the car's battery and alternator can supply whereas a turbocharger and supercharger is limited by the amount of power the engine can supply which is significantly greater in comparison.
Does the 1983 Renault 5 non turbo engine 1.4l have the same exhaust gasket as the turbo model?
No, it is different because the Renault 5 gt turbo was made for the exhaust fumes to run through the turbo creating boost. On a non turbo version the piping will be made simply to leave the engine directly out of the exhaust.
