What type of supercharger should I use on my car? There are a lot of options for forced induction, whether going the turbocharger or supercharger route. Superchargers typically will offer better throttle response, and can offer better low-end torque, however they ultimately are less efficient than turbochargers. But if you decide to go the supercharger route (great decision by the way), what's the best option? In this video we'll discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the four most common supercharger styles for today's cars: twin-screw, roots, centrifugal, and electric superchargers.

Positive displacement supercharger disadvantages: weight, size, increased specific fuel consumption, noise Americans: "So, basically no disadvantages, then?"

I just like the nyeeeee sound

This video was made purely to show off his supply of eggs and toilet roll over us.

The twin screw supercharger on my E55 AMG spins at 23,000 rpm. Still blows my mind.

There is no one who explains highly technical automotive concepts as concisely as you while maintaining the viewer's interest throughout the discourse. Amazingly informative content. Subscribed!

"Hello seller, Are you accepting low ball offers? Do you know what you have?" LMAO, this is one of the best ads I've seen on Youtube.

The best is the one with the loudest whine

For Science, you should test each of the 4 superchargers on your Miata so we can see the real-world differences ;)
-
Great day... Engineering Explained and Chrisfix dropped videos.

Gale Banks made an interesting video on the roots / screw supercharger comparison. The whipple screw type was alot more efficient putting far less heat into the charge air.
-
I laughed a bit to hard when you showed the Tesla Supercharger 😂
-
Thank you for this video. Years back it took me hours of wading through useless forum pages and somewhat obtuse manufacturer information to learn the difference between the roots style and twin scroll superchargers. Finally, now it is concisely compiled here in one video!
-
"whenever you want!"😂 That's gonna be so fun on your mx-5 - so thankful for the knowledge you dropped in this video as I'm in the market to buy a supercharger💪🏻
-
I love how you explain things, so that they are easily understandable.

For those of us who live at altitude (ie, I'm in Denver at about 5,200 ft), can you discuss how this affects NA, supercharged, and turbocharged engines? Thanks!!

"Whatever You Want" "Whenever You Want" cool
