Wouldn't an E-supercharger be identical to an E-turbocharger? Neither are driven by exaust or a belt...Echargers

 

That's what I thought. And does it come with a speaker that makes the BOV sound? That's my main concern. Who says only Blitz can have a TT STi? I'll make my own.

 

eh, yea, yer right....e-charger.....<shrug> but it says that the kit includes everything needed to complete the install!

i thought the diff between turbocharger and supercharger is turbo is exhaust gas driven and "after" the engine, whereas supercharging is "before" the engine...

 

Exactly, so a charger that is driven by a seperate electric motor is neither super nor turbo. It's a fan.


All three have to happen before the engine, though, so that the compressed air they make can be fed into the cylinders.

 

the only real diff. between the Turbo and Supercharger is how the unit is driven or powered. They both do the same thing as far as forced induction goes. Also, Turbos tend to run at much higher boost levels than superchargers. An average S/C will run between about 8-15psi, whereas a Turbo normally runs around 15-30psi. Depending on the application ofcourse, there are variances to these numbers.

I just thought it was funny, its basically a hairdryer strapped in the intake track. It made me LOL.

Damn! That thing is cool! I wonder if it will make more power than my twin Tornado Y pipe?

 

You should add it to the twin Tornado. That thing would be killer. You'll probably have to take one of them out for traction reasons.
