I wonder why top fuel drag cars use superchargers instead of turbos?
|
Have you seen the flames that shoot out of those things?
There were a few attempts to attach turbos to them... They melted the internals of turbos off...
There is also the reason as some one said... The rules...
As for the person who, at the top of page 2 (for me) tried to quote me saying Turbos make boost from idle... I did not say that at all...
I said there was a lag, but, the way in which a turbo builds boost is VERY quick...
A friends car starts making boost at 2600, it is on full boost by 3400RPM, and the Turbo he is using, is a bit bigger then what he really needs as well...
Also, turbos are a LOT more efficient the superchargers, in the fact that, for the amount of EXTRA air the supercharged engine makes, it makes less power then what the turbo, with the same pressure running...
In an N/A and supercharged exhaust, you do rely on vacuum to try and suck extra gases out (you want the LEAST restrictive exhaust, but not over sized in diameter), yet a turbo, itself, can ADD 2-5PSi EXTREMELY easy, and that is when it is up and nearly on full boost...
Superchargers make a bit more torque down low to what a turbo does, but the moment the turbo spools, power and torque skyrockets above the Supercharged engine, due to the amount of power the supercharger is removing from the engine...
