  • The difference is quite simple between each other supercharger gets intake by control of crankshaft supercharger is controlled by it and when we want more from the engine then it automatically breath to its intake and similarly turbocharger is works like supercharger but it controlled by a pressure regulator vacuum valve and also it's dependent at ratio of the rotary and the number of blades and angle of its that all

  • supercharger will take its power from the crankshaft whereas the turbocharger will draw power from exhaust gases that result from combustion. Superchargers will spin with speeds up to 50,000 RPM. The turbocharger is not connected to the engine and can spin much faster.

  • Supercharger and turbocharger both are power enhancer product and give a better pickup for vehicles. Supercharger is power oriented less efficient and give thurst of 40-50 % increase in power.and operate from engine pulley. Turbo charger is mount on exhaust and power efficient that supercharger and have ability to increase thusrt about 20-30 %

  • The main difference is that the turbo charger uses exhuast steam for its energy whereas super charger uses crankshaft for its enegy. Turbocharger is not connected directly to the engine whereas supercharger is directly connected with the engine through a belt. The former has smog altering equipment that lower the carbon emission whereas the later doesn't have a waste gate , so the smog emits from a supercharger.
    additionally; using a turbo charger, high pressure, preferably cooler air pushed into the cylinders.a larger turbo charger takes a bit longer for the turbine to spool up, until the exhuast gas flow and pressure reaches the expected level.the time until turbo spooling, is what we call turbolag, where the intake air pressure is actually lesser than desired.
    An intercooler is used for the same purpose of cooling air in superchargers , as with turbochargers. Due to its installation method, there no turbolag, since the supercharger is not in anyway connected t the exhaust system. A supercharger provides a huge shift in torque and power curves across the revolution range.

  • Generally both of them does the same job which is allow the engine to breathe more which means to increase the charge(air-fuel mixture) at the intake,the only difference is how both of them achieve it.A supercharger is powered by the running engine itself while on the other hand a turbocharger is driven by the exhaust gases which otherwise go waste,hence increasing the mileage to some extent.

  • Of course it is quite interesting topic sir ...If u need a clear clarification just type in YouTube as difference between super charger and turbo charger ...u may have a animation videos ...

  • super charger will take power from crankshaft. turbo charger will take power from engine for exhaust

  • There is a little difference between turbocharger and supercharger. Turbocharger is driven by the hot and high pressure exhaust gases while the compressor of supercharger is driven by other external means like electric motor.

  • In supercharger thier is charging of air which is preheated and in terbocharger we increase the density of air to increase the efficiency of engine

  • Super charging means forcing air into air fuel mixture to improve air fuel ratio Turbocharging is placing turbin to the exit means taking energy from exhaust gasses to run turbine

  • Superchargers and turbochargers are mentioned almost in the same breath by many people in the auto industry. There is definitely a difference between the two of them. Either one will deal with power. Turbochargers and superchargers are known as forced induction systems. It means that either will compress the air flowing into the engine, which provides more power to the car. This creates a considerable amount of boost, which can be as much as 50% more power into the engine. This makes a luxury car or high-end sports car roar like a lion whenever the owner is tired of the engine purring like a kitten. A main difference between the turbocharger and the supercharger lies in the power supply. A turbocharger uses the exhaust stream for its energy. The exhaust will run through a turbine that will itself spin the compressor. The turbine spinning can be as much 150,000 RPM (Rotations Per Minute). To put that in layman’s terms, the turbocharger is able to have an RPM speed that can be almost 30 times faster than an ordinary automobile engine. It does take a little while for the turbine to produce the boost, and can result in the car lunging forward when the turbocharger kicks into action. The size of the turbocharger can impact power with a smaller one producing more boost faster. A turbocharger is particularly effective at high altitudes where other engines experience difficulty. Because the air is less dense a normal engine gets a smaller amount of air. Turbocharged engines do not suffer a dramatic reduction in power since the turbocharger is more capable of pumping thinner air. The source of the power for the supercharger is in a belt connected directly to the engine. A supercharger will compress air of the atmospheric pressure, and create the boost by forcing air into the engine. The supercharger can add as much as 46% more horsepower because the increased air will allow more fuel to be added to the combustion charge. Like the turbocharger, a supercharger will do well in high-altitude. Looking at the difference between the two the supercharger will take its power from the crankshaft whereas the turbocharger will draw power from exhaust gases that result from combustion. Superchargers will spin with speeds up to 50,000 RPM. The turbocharger is not connected to the engine and can spin much faster. Both will produce large amounts of power. A supercharger doesn’t have a waste gate, which means that smog will emit from a supercharger. Turbochargers on the other hand have smog altering equipment to lower the carbon emission of discharges. Turbochargers will run extremely hot and must be well insulated. In deciding on which is better will depend on the vehicle itself. The reason why turbochargers are used most commonly in India is because the engines are small and four cylinders are standard. Superchargers can deliver their boost at lower RPMs then a turbocharger, whereas the turbocharger works best at high engine speeds.Turbochargers are quieter and superchargers are more reliable. Superchargers are easier to maintain than the complex turbocharger. I thin tata motors is 1st introduced supercharger in india.

  • Both the device is used to increse the volumetric efficience thereby increse of hp. The basic differece is that a supercharger takes drives from engine as a result some part of hp is cosumed where as a turbocharger do not take drive from engine .it utilise the waste gas of engine for it drive thus no hp is consumed. Supercharger is not used now a days.

  • A Super charger is crankshaft driven where as the Turbo charger is exhaust gas driven and as mentioned they fall under the forced induction category.

  • supercharger is driven by crankshaft pulley...and the turbocharger by the power of exhaust gases. rpm is 2.5 lakh

  • Well both are forced inductions for an engine the shortest way to increase your horsepower and your efficiency. Difference is that turbocharger consists of a turbine which is turned by the exhaust gases of the engine. The same turning is attached to another which turns to suck in more air and send it into the intake. While the supercharger serves the same function but it uses a timing belt attached to the crankshaft to rotate the turning to perform same operation, thus producing more horsepower. Turbocharger has a disadvantage that it takes time to Spool up and create necessary boost this us called as turbo lag, while the supercharger is directly loaded on the crankshaft it's has a slightly parasitic effect and does not produce as much power and is not as efficient as turbocharger. If you want more information please let me know I would love to speak more on this topuc

  • Super charger and Turbocharger both mechanical device. The only difference between these two is, turbo charger is driven by exhaust gas from the engine and super charger is driven by crank shafts.But by application wise both are used to boost the air intake into the engine

  • both are increses the efficiency fo engine with the help increases the air supply intake to the engine,The super charger is running through main drive of engine (i.e belt drive from crank shaft) and turbo charger is running through exhaust gases.

  • Surper charager is similar to Turbocharger.Only difference is External heating of Exhaust Air
