Freiburger Explains Supercharger Basics - Roadkill Extra 

I tend to agree. :)

Eh depends what you have i4-V6 or v10-v12 I would turbo v8 would be the only thing I would supercharge and even then the whining gets annoying after like that a hour

As the El Paso Taco girl says. Por que no los dos? TWINCHARGING!!!!

Yes sir...no doubt👍😎

@catalyst_99 I agree turbos are better , but not as cool looking as a 871 supercharger setting on top of a 426 Hemi in something like a 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner

mopar guy here too and i love that muscle truck.

Hey guys, old school muscle is old school muscle. Things were simple back then.. Die-Hard Mopar guy myself as well, but you just can't beat a SBC/BBC for that ratty, cheap fun!

thats why i like mother mopar and im a chevy guy

@@Ecosse57 the Muscle Truck is cooler than show trucks that sell for 5X what the MT is worth.

Hey mopar made the 440. Thats a big American rusty V8.

That would be the pulley/belt combo.

aah , the whine.. the whine

intimidation factor of pulling up on the line with your shiny fuel delivery system sitting above the hood and the blower whining away.

@@CarsandCats It's a combination of things. Yes, the belt is part of the equation. I had to run a 16 rib belt on my 10-71 a few years ago at a local event when my belt broke. I had a new in a box, but it was damaged. A guy there had a set of Whipple 16 rib pullies he lent me so I could run. The sound changed surprisingly little. I have a three lobe high helix Blowershop blower, and those rotors scream, they scream a lot louder than the cogged belt.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

The blower whine is awesome, screw type though, powaaaaahhh

Twin Screw are more efficient and just as instant.

Lifted_Above yea but they dont look as cool.

Which is very important when the hood is down and you're looking down the highway 1/10th of a mile for cops waiting to ruin the fun.

As long as it can fit under a 2 or 3 inch cowl hood.

That mostly depends on the blower type. I was under a thunderbolt 1000 with a C series blower and the buzz on that thing was incredibly loud. Then another time I was under a 1000t with a 6M blower and it was a lot quieter. There’s another siren that uses a supercharger to add noise and it’s called the ACA hurricane. They’re almost all gone now though.

you could have also cited two strokes, with their scavenging trickery and dynamic CR.

Musta been an old auto class. N/A engines regularly exceed 100% VE these days. Even a strong street engine will hit 105%-110%. When I worked with sprint car setups, they commonly hit 120%+ if I remember correctly. But I do have an old (1962 I believe) Ed Isky book about valve timing. And on one of the first pages he says flat out you'll never exceed 100% VE. Just old school thinking.

yeah, with tuned intake ports a n/a enging can reach more then 100% ve... basically the same as an expansion pipe on a 2 stroke

isn't it all in the exhaust scavenging for N/As? so that like in a two stroke the exhaust pulls the intake into the chamber (pushes it because haha physics) although to a much smaller degree than on a 2t.

jacob fraser Doesn't take tuned intake ports. It can be done on old V8s without any kind of fancy intake. Just takes the right setup. Done properly. Good cam, heads, intake, exhaust. All working together. Vicious Slayer It's not ALL in the exhaust scavenging. But the only way to get 100%+ VE is to flow more than the cylinder holds. Obviously that air has to go somewhere, generally out the exhaust (I won't get into variable compression engines). Scavenging does refer to the effect of having an exhaust that flows properly to pull air from the intake behind it. But in order for that to work. You have to have a cam/heads/intake capable of doing it as well. Exhaust can't pull from the intake if the valve is closed for example. At the same time, the piston/intake also works with scavenging to create higher VE. It just doesn't contribute as much. But once again, can't work if the engine isn't setup properly. ChrisHallet83 Well, it's obviously physically possible since engines do it all the time. Especially in the muscle/hot rod/racing car world. So you're statement is flat out wrong. You're not creating something from nothing. The engine is simply moving more air than the cylinders can hold. There's no magic there. VE doesn't refer to how much air the cylinders can HOLD it refers to how much air the engine moves in relation to how much air the cylinders hold. More air moved than the cylinders hold? 100%+ VE. This is a basic engine concept, so I suggest you learn more about them before making an obviously wrong statement.

Beat me to it! steve

Nice

Israel Cardona That’s correct. Roadkill Extra airs every weekday on Motor Trend On Demand and just Saturdays on YT

he doesn't need your approval if its correct or not.

Burning Mysteria . lololol

Big_Adam_2050 kick loguc to the cerb bo the impossible

I don't know if that'd make a difference, as it's the same volume of air going through. But then again, if it's under the supercharger, the velocity would be lower. Perhaps that would actually hurt atomization.

@Elmer Cricket That's a nice vette!!

N/A cams are usually "hotter cams" than for boosted applications. The longer duration and larger overlap will increase your top end power, but reduce vac at idle. Should not compromise accesories unless you go for a serious N/A race cam.

I hope youre right, diesels are pretty straight forward

On a 2-stroke Detroit Diesel it's a blower, not a supercharger. It's only job is scavenging - clear all exhaust gases from the cylinders and fill 'em with fresh air. "Airbox" pressure will be above atmospheric, but very little. A 2-stroke Detroit without a turbo (or turbos), is naturally aspirated.

My god....I'll be back going to the garage

Didn't they already do something similar with the boost caboose?

Syncing blower drive engine RPM with primary engine RPM would be a headache.

Yup.

Kevin Opalka Kind of, but this would be so much cooler

That's basically what modern Volvo engines do, only there's no button the computer controls everything.

Redneck Chevy funny u ask Freiburger and dulcich just finished a 16 part series on every little thing u could possibly ever need to know for building an engine starting with picking it up from the machine shop

724 Street Cars then I'm getting mtod. That is the useful information I'd pay for. Thanks

Except putting in the cam.

Did a lot magically resurface in the hot rod scene?

That's absolutely what happened to them
