why do you guy's like a turbo vs a centrif Supcharger?

So are you speaking from experience?
no

excellent, have at it. (Wheres that popcorn eating smiley!?):happy1:
Ahh, there we go.
I absolutely love the Procharger and or a roots blower. They have their advantages. I have built many of all styles including big nitrous motors! There is nothing more awesome than a 500 hit of nitrous! With that said a roots blower is instant response. A centrifugal thunders as RPM increases and is much like a turbo. Now a turbo is endless power! It just keeps going. Ask any of the guys here that have a turbo V8 Mopar and then ask for a ride and you will believe. The problem with centrifugal superchargers is the belt system. No one has run a V belt since the Kennedy administration. The first centrifugal blower motor I built had a D1SC Procharger. It has a 6 rib serpentine belt and anything over 10 pounds of boost the belt slips. Oh and I have news for you, there are a ton of people running 24 pounds or more on the street, just because you dont believe it doesn't people dont do it. Look around next time your at a drag strip and dont just look at the Mopars. I have at least a dozen friends running more than 20 pounds of boost on the street, on pump gas, with methanol/water injection. I believe that you dont believe what you read. Try reading a book sometime its quite enlightening.

I started to read, but have not been able to get far in the book;
HPBooks Turbochargers by Hugh Macinnes.
After starting and stopping it 10 times, ya know, life gets in the way crap.

Oh and the exhaust gas expanding? Its the same principle that scavenging works on. Ever heard of that? Its all in that book.
Have I ever heard of that?!?! Oh! how snarky. :colors: LOL HA ha ha

Ok... So I have thought about it and there is something called a Hot Flow Bench that turbo manufacturers will use to see what kind of air a turbo will move at set pressure differintials by doing this they can tell you at what psi it will make the coolest air charge and how much boost it is capable of to check its effeciancy and anti surge capabuilities, I guess in theory you could do this to a N/A motor to simulate boost for a turbo and then the same for a blower on the same motor, All things being the same open headers on a dyno there should be no back pressure for either motor. With that said, At a 1:1 pressure differntial the turbo motor is making more power with its spent energy than its using to make it And a blower motor makes alot of power only using some to produce it either way your making more power than you started off with and making alot more that is using to make it. I personally like turbos better but dont have anything against blowers either, If blowers were not so outragiously priced I would have one by now ( I hope china is listining ) In my first hand exsperiance turbos come on alot harder (tourqe wise ) than a blower of the same boost level most blowers keep coming with the rpms where a turbo comes on early and stays there. Sorry if I seemed bent out of shape but I feel like were beating a dead horse with the whole back pressure thing.

Joe,

Sorry about the spelling but my computer at work wont let me download the spell check.

JOE! Thanks. No worries. OH, and by the way;

( I hope china is listining )
