Turbo charging vs. Supercharging

[KenP]

Let's see if I an get this answer for you guys. If the HP at the CRANK is the same for a Turbo and SC application, then they're putting out the same HP.

However, in order for the SC engine to reach that same crank HP, it must make more HP up front because of the parasitic loss of HP from the drive belt turning the SC. A turbo doesn't have that problem. It's making free HP using the spent exhaust.

sin, you're wrong in many places as was pointed out above. Speaking from personal experience with street turbo applications, I know something about them. I can also compare them to a SC since I have that now.

My turbo car ran 10.17 @ 135 in 1989 on street tires with a V-6. I never had a problem with the Garrett or the adjustable Deltagate. We did not have an oil cooler. When the car was just in the mid-high 11's it was a daily driver and I saw no adverse effects on the oil. Ever.

In short, I never had any problems with the turbo. There just aren't enough moving parts to break. FYI, I couldn't imagine anything slipping through the intercooler and getting to the engine.

Of course, I love the SC in the H2. It functions great and does it's job to a tee. The price is the best part because as I mentioned before, no one has a single turbo with a warranty for a comparable price.<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content"> H2sin posted:
