Air Intake Temps- Stillen SC

MoulaZ · 01-05-2017, 01:28 AM

I'm kinda new to Superchargers, but I know having a Turbo in the path of exhaust also also robs some power, curious how much though, like 15-30?.

And as for Superchargers I think 80hp is a bit high though for the V3, if I had to take a punt I'd say in the region of 50hp.

I've heard some general rule of thumbs like '5hp per PSI' for a Supercharger or 'for every 100hp you make, it cost 30hp for a SC & 10hp for a Turbo'. Just wonder how applicable those are to our circumstances.

Turbos basically use exhaust gas, eliminating that parasitic loss from the drivetrain. It's like a free 80hp by comparison.

In a nutshell there is your instant difference between the two, and why supercharger tend to put out less than their turbo brethren. And as far as supercharger go th V3 is more efficient than most of the other types at 78%.
