A lot of you may want to look through used car places to find a fun car that can be tuned up and driven as weekend cars. A bit of sharp cornering, blazing straight lines and amped up torque and horsepower is best matched with a classic used car. As part of the performance upgrades, you may have come across turbos. There are two options- a turbocharger and a supercharger. Both systems do one thing, increase the power output of the engine without modifying the engine block itself. When done right, it can output up to 50% more power.
A turbocharger derives its energy from the exhaust. This exhaust flows through a turbine that in turn spins the compressor. The turbine can spin as fast as 150,000 RPM.
In case of the supercharger, it gets its power from the crankshaft, and forces air into the engine by compressing it. This boosts the horsepower as the increased air allows more fuel to be injected during combustion. These spin at around 50,000 RPM. Turbocharges get extremely hot and need to be well insulated, unlike superchargers which deliver high results at lower RPMs. Superchargers are also much easier to maintain than turbochargers which are more complex. Turbochargers though, are much quieter compared to superchargers, and are known to be more reliable.
