Turbocharging. A turbocharger uses spent gas fumes for energy and drives a fan to get the fresh air into the intake to mix with the fuel that is already going into the engine. A supercharger uses belts and pullys that is constantly connected to the engine and therfore makes the car inject more fuel. A turbo charger can be adjusted wile a super is perm.

What is the purpose of supercharging and turbocharging?

Supercharging and turbocharging are methods used to increase the power output of an engine by forcing more air into the combustion chamber. This results in more fuel being burned, which generates more power and increases overall performance. Superchargers are belt-driven by the engine, while turbochargers are powered by exhaust gases.


What are good ways to upgrade engine for more horsepower?

To see significant horsepower gains, the way to go is forced induction (turbocharging or supercharging). not every engine can handle forced induction, though.


Is turbocharging possible in petrol engines?

Absolutely! Turbocharging gasoline engines is a great way to make more power or better fuel economy, depending on the way the turbo is setup.


Does supercharging increases fuel efficiency?

Depends entirely on how you use it. One of the challenges with a combustion engine is to make sure that it's actually combusting every bit of fuel that it has sucked in, which it might not always do. Often there's a bit of unburnt fuel vented out with the exhaust gasses. Supercharging can, by providing better conditions for combustion (higher pressures/temperatures), make the engine able to burn a higher percentage of the ingested fuel, making it more fuel efficent. The bigger the combustion chamber, the harder it becomes to get all the fuel burnt. By using a supercharger on a smaller engine you can get the smaller engine to make as much horsepower as a bigger engine - but at a cleaner burn. Again, resulting in better fuel efficiency.


What feature in a car fuel makes it more fuel efficient?

A car has to be fuel efficient. It means it has to completely burn the fuel.


How are cars made more fuel efficient?

Lighter weight, more aerodynamic, and more fuel efficient engines, transmissions, and tires.


Is indirect injection more fuel efficient?

Yes, the indirect injection is more fuel efficient because it provides stability to the engine.


Is Freightliner the most fuel efficient brand of semi truck?

There hasn't really been a brand of semi trucks recognized as the most fuel efficient. Since they run on diesel a more efficient fuel, semi trucks already are more fuel efficient than cars in terms of size and power.


How do you get more power out of my 06 dodge hemi?

Many options out there for you; ranging from a new Air filter and intake setup (K&N on mine and love it), to tuning the engine and transmission (Diablo tune here), replacing exhaust components (headers, cats, mufflers), to supercharging or turbocharging it... Endless opportunities, limited only by your wallet.
