Elson84 Neutral Newbie July 3, 2004 Share July 3, 2004 TC = turbo charged ? btw wats the diff betweeb turbo charged and supercharged ? all car can fix ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phochem Neutral Newbie July 3, 2004 Share July 3, 2004 Both turbochargers and superchargers are called forced induction systems. They compress the air flowing into the engine. The advantage of compressing the air is that it lets the engine stuff more air into a cylinder. More air means that more fuel can be stuffed in, too, so you get more power from each explosion in each cylinder. A turbo/supercharged engine produces more power overall than the same engine without the charging. The typical boost provided by either a turbocharger or a supercharger is 6 to 8 pounds per square inch (psi). Since normal atmospheric pressure is 14.7 psi at sea level, you can see that you are getting about 50-percent more air into the engine. Therefore, you would expect to get 50-percent more power. It's not perfectly efficient, though, so you might get a 30-percent to 40-percent improvement instead. The key difference between a turbocharger and a supercharger is its power supply. Something has to supply the power to run the air compressor. In a supercharger, there is a belt that connects directly to the engine. It gets its power the same way that the water pump or alternator does. A turbocharger, on the other hand, gets its power from the exhaust stream. The exhaust runs through a turbine, which in turn spins the compressor. There are tradeoffs in both systems. In theory, a turbocharger is more efficient because it is using the "wasted" energy in the exhaust stream for its power source. On the other hand, a turbocharger causes some amount of back pressure in the exhaust system and tends to provide less boost until the engine is running at higher RPMs. Superchargers are easier to install but tend to be more expensive. from HOWSTUFFWORKS.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phochem Neutral Newbie July 3, 2004 Share July 3, 2004 u'll need to change quite a number of things to produce a decent boost; the material strength of the compenents in the engine plays a major part. For stock NA cars not really advisable lah, the components are not meant to work at a higher pressure in the 1st place. Not to forget the cooling department, intercoolers, oil coolers, power steering cooler(this one more for extreme case) and much more. then u still need a programmable ECU to take advantage of all these gains. The cost can be alarming but not sure exactly how much. BTW, whats ur ride??? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marusho Clutched July 3, 2004 Share July 3, 2004 NA means Natural Aspirated... engines that induct air the usual way (normal intake, with or without resonator ). If you add TC or SC, its no longer NA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
