Hi, I saw a race between 2 camaros on TV yesterday, they are from an F_Body Club here in Mexico, the objective of the race was to demonstrate if turbo or supercharger was better, in fact the program was so poor in technical information, but the one with the Turbo Camaro, mentioned he went to San Antonio Texas to get this Exhaust Turbo, installed in the Exhaust system and that it adds 50% of power to the 310 HP Stock. This with the turbo won the race. HAve you heard about it? Alex By the way how do i add my sig pic to the posts?

Alex type "[img]" before the link and "[/img]" after the link. But do it without the quotes.

HAve you heard about it?
A turbo charger does run off of the exhaust. Might be just a regular turbo unit he's talking about.

well he talk about it almost as a pilot product, in fact he said that he was one of the first ones in use it, and could be one of the first ones in complain. I think it was installed near bumper by the tips, but i don't know they were not so specific.

So...a supercharger is for induction and a turbo for exhaust??

You're right Herc. I've seen it done on a Lincoln LS. There's nowhere else to put it. It obviously loses some performance by doing it, but it' still an upgrade.

so the supercharger allows to maintain MPG low right?, for example, my GT has the same MPG than a GTP, until they push the gas??

I've never seen a Turbo unit installed at the rear of the car. I don't like the idea of having my air intake at the rear of the car, facing back. Wouldn't that cause the intake to not work at it's full potential? Kinda' drawing air out of the intake instead of forcing it in.

Originally posted by ThunderBat: a supercharger is a belt or gear driven compressor that force feeds the engine...a turbo uses the exhaust gas to spin a impeller that shares a common shaft with the turbine that compresses the intake tract...usually turbos reqire some rpms before they can deliver positive boost (this is where you hear the terms "turbo lag" or "spooling up" where as the belt drive of the supercharger gives instant throttle response because its being driven by the engine itself. The drag of the supercharger becomes higher with rpms...this is why drag racers opt for superchargers and sustained high rpm road race engines usually go with turbos. Another thing to add to this: Turbo lag exists because it takes a certain amount of exhaust output to get the turbo spooled up. When you hear of Twin Turbo cars, often times it will be a small turbo that will spool up first to help with low end, and then a large turbo that will lag until higher rpm's kick it in.
