What is a centrifugal supercharger and is it different from a regular mounted belt-driven supercharger?

There are three general types of supercharger. Roots, screw, and centifual. They are all belt driven. Both the screw and roots bolt directly to the manifold. Where as a centrifugal is not. Also a centrifugal psi output increases in direct relation to engine RPM. Screw and roots generally produce peak psi mid way through the rpm range, but are more stressful on the engine.

Will a supercharger from another car fit your 2001 ford mustang GT?
Depends on the type of supercharger. Roots or centrifugal. A roots sits on top of the motor and either bolts on to the intake manifold, or the supercharger has the intake as part of the unit. Unless the roots supercharger is from another 4.6L modular than the answer is probably no. Unless you're a good machinist. If its a centrifugal type supercharger, which looks more like a turbo off to the side of the motor. Then you can probably buy an installation kit for your car from the manufacturer of the supercharger. The superchargers from a single model line are all the same. Its just how its mounted to the individual car that varies. Either way if you search around you may be able to find a mounting kit for your application.
What is a overhung pump?
A centrifugal pump whose impeller is mounted on the end of a shaft that overhangs its bearings.
How many fuel pumps does 1998 jaguar xjr have?
The XJR model has two fuel pumps due to it having a supercharger. The XJ8 model has only one. They are both tank mounted.
Where is the oil fill plug located on the supercharger for your 1994 Pontiac Bonneville ssei?
The oil fill plug is located at the base of the nose piece of the supercharger, near the pulley facing toward the front of the car. It is usually a flush mounted plug with a hex wrench hole in it. Be sure to use a sealer or teflon tape on the threads when you put it back in. Incidentally, a little oil leakage around the front of the supercharger is considered normal by GM.
Can you supercharge your 300zx twin turbo and take the turbos out and put a supercharger in or are they permantely mounted?
The turbos can be removed and replaced with an upgrade. So surely you can remove them out and run the car w/o. The question is, why would you want to?
What is the different between recessed mounted surface mounted?
Recessed mounted is inside a box with 1 side open, have louver then mounted inside the ceiling facing the opening downward. While surface mounted is directly screwed on the ceiling.
How do you know if your Buick is supercharged?
The Buick that was supercharged was called the Ultra. On the engine there is another unit mounted on top of the engine. It is driven by a separate belt from the drive shaft. The engine without the supercharger has only one serpentine belt.

What is centrifugal coupled pump?
You may mean a "close-coupled pump" in which case, that is a pump which is mounted directly on the same shaft as the driving motor: i.e. there is no baseplate or coupling to join the two shafts, drive and driven, and the pump hangs off the notor frame. A centrifugal pump is a type of pump where the liquid is forced to travel by an impeller which is inside a close-fitting chamber, or "volute" - it is probably the most common industrial and domestic pump type.
What does a supercharger do?
Simplified they are air pumps driven by a belt connected to the engine crank, that force air in to the engine. There are 3 different types of superchargers(belt driven) The original was the roots, it has to 2 rotors that push air into a special manifold. The supercharger pushes more air into the engien than the engine can consume, which increases the pressure. They are the lowest costing, bulkiest/heaviest, least effiecent, has instant boost and looks cool. Twin-Screw supercharger. Looks like a Roots but works alittle different. It does produces boost by packing the intake manifold with excessive amount of air(producing boost), but it also has an internal compression. It does this by having its roots twisted( like screws) which internally compress the air into a tighter twist. It is more effiecient, can produce more power, more boost and is smaller than the roots. Still has instant boost but is usually the most expensive(2-3x more$ than roots). Third type is the centrifugal (vortech, paxton, procharger), it is basicly a belt driven compressor side of a turbo. It internally compresses the air. Has gears and pulley ratios to get the compressor's rpm in the 20,000-60,000rpm range(depending on size). It is more effecient than either of the other 2. It is smaller in size and since it is not mounted on top of the motor, it is easy to intercool(to make even more power/effiecent). Down side is the boost is not instant, it is linear. Example: 7psi kit, 7psi at 6000rpms, down at 3000 rpms only have 2-3psi, 0 at 1000rpms, others would have 7psi. Turbocharger,is not belt driven, is an exhaust driven version of the centrifugal supercharger, only get boost when underload so it is the most fuel effiecent. Down side is that the turbo needs to spool up first to make boost. Always a delay from flooring it until you get boost, can be .2 of a sec. (small turbos set up) - 2 sec. large setup. Do get more mid rpm boost than centrifugal superchargers, but more $$, need exhaust manifolds, waste gates to control boost level.
Where could one buy wall mounted fish tanks from online?
Wall mounted fish tanks can be bought online from many different stores and retailers. Some examples that sell wall mounted fish tanks include Overstock and A Trendy Home.
What can outdoor wireless security cameras be mounted to?
The location of outdoor wireless security cameras depends on the area in which the camera is located. In a residential location, the camera can be mounted to a building such as a home or other building. In an area where a building is not available, cameras can be mounted to a different object, such as a tree.
