Superchargers are basically air compressors driven by the crankshaft of the engine. There are two basic types;
Centrifugal - Centrifugal superchargers are similar to the intake side of a turbocharger driven by a gearbox instead of the engine's exhaust. In order to keep the compressor from over-revving, they are geared to operate at their speed limits near the redline of the engine. As a result, they aren't going fast enough to produce reasonable HP gains at lower RPMs; they are very "peaky".
Roots Blower - Old-school airscrews that draw in a fixed volume of air per engine revolution. They make the engine behave like a larger displacement version of itself. At higher RPM, the efficiency of the Roots blower decreases, but at low- and mid-RPMs, where most street cars are driven on a daily basis, they are the best option for moderate HP gains.

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.
Whining noise when excelerating grand prix gtp?
This car is equipped with a Supercharger. All superchargers whine. This is normal and is inherently something you live with when you drive a car equipped with a supercharger.
How much does a stock size e supercharger add to your bhp on a stock normal car?

What kind of car does Spencer Andersons have?

How do you install a supercharger on a fuel injected car?
First you have to find a supercharger designed for your specific application. You take the old intake manifold off and install the supercharger. While somehow finding a belt that connects from the supercharger to the camshaft. Then reprogram the computer that controls the engine for the additional airflow.
Can a turbocharger and supercharger be used at the same time?
Yes. If the engine is built to handle enough boost. Volkswagen makes a production car with a twincharger (supercharger and turbocharger). The supercharger helps cancel out the turbo lag at low rpms
What are the uses for a Eaton Supercharger?
The Eaton Supercharger is used to increase the overall torque power and driving ability. This also increases the economic benefits as the use of a supercharger leads to small cylinder tanks which is a good thing for your car.
Can you put a v8 supercharger on a 4 cylinder car?
no...... you tear the engine up
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
