Automotive performance, that's just about how well the car is doing. Like "temperature ", "performance" by itself is neither good or bad. But usually when people speak about performance it's taken for granted that it is about INCREASING performance. And yeah, adding a turbo or a supercharger are ways of making a car engine more powerful, which to many would seem like the key part in increasing performance.
Naturally aspirated, which means no turbos or superchargers.
yes. Chargers take turbos and superchargers very well.
Technically yes. But it really would be a waste. Generally superchargers are used when you don't have room for a turbo or because of cost. Todays turbos can match the low RPM performance of root style superchargers and centrifugal superchargers can't really compare to turbo performance. So while you could put on a supercharger and turbocharger, there really isn't much of a point. The money would be much better spent on a nice dual turbo setup.
Easiest/cheapest way for a few more horses are an upgraded performance carb/intake (Holley/K&N, etc) and a less restrictive exhaust (high performance muffler, etc). Then they start to get more expensive - superchargers/turbos, etc.
intake, exhaust, fuel pump, and injectors there a number of bolt ons and theres always turbos and superchargers. http://www.lextasy.com/IS300_intakes_ctg.htm ----
turbo chargers and superchargers do essentially the same thing-- force air into an engine. both turbos and superchargers are made in many different sizes to flow different amounts of air. more airflow=more power=faster, if the tires are able to grip the road.
Yes this can be done...I have a TT kit on mine no, ive looked everywhere for turbos, superchargers, anything, cant find anything, unless you feel like paying alot for someone to make one custom for you.
Sure. Bigger diesels are very often 2-stroke. With forced induction(turbos, superchargers), fuel injection and pressure lubrication they don't suffer the drawbacks of the small 2-strokes of pollution and excessive fuel consumption.
yeah, if your ready to do the field work. this is not easy, like changing a light or putting on a high air intake. im talking compression testing and maybe even boring the piston cambers. but keep in mind you can upgrade any engine to have superchargers and turbos. and lastly even if it does work if you fail to upgrade crankshaft, camshaft, lifters and bearings you could burn it up or worst. but have fun and buy two engines.
The term "twin" on twin turbo simply means there are two turbos on the engine. Both turbos and superchargers compress air into the intake manifold of the engine. A supercharger uses a belt connected to the engine to turn the compressor. A turbo uses exhaust pressure (which would otherwise be wasted) to spin a turbine attached to the compressor. Superchargers tend to offer slightly better performance, but they decrease fuel economy significantly, however you drive. Turbos do not affect fuel economy at all when you aren't using them, and can even improve highway fuel economy. The main advantage of a supercharger is that it works no matter what the engine speed is. A turbo doesn't add much power until the engine is spinning faster than 4000 RPM or so. This does feel natural however, since you feel more power when the engine gets louder. And in a stick shift, there is no good reason why you cant simply downshift to get the engine in the turbo "sweet spot"
Carburettors don't have timing. A carb will only add a proportional amount of atomised fuel to the air that is drawn into the engine, either "naturally" through the action of the pistons, or forced in by the help of turbos or superchargers. You can however adust the fuel/air mixture in a carburetor.
No. No WRX has twin Turbos!
