Supercharging history in drag racing and how they can be properly applied to vehicles.
For some time now, supercharging has been very prominent among drag racers who are aware that sufficient airflow to the cylinders cannot be delivered by mother nature. Within the NHRA, superchargers are available in several categories which are frequently utilized by most OE automobile producers to enhance the efficiency of street and track racing.
The output is being increased by supercharging through the introduction of pressurized air into the intake of the internal combustion engine. However, the introduction of the supercharger will double or triple the torque and horsepower.
Contrary to turbos which are driven by hot exhaust gasses, the blowers are directly driven into the crankshaft. This implies that the engine rpm is directly proportional to the speed of the supercharger. Considering this, the parasitic drag usually results from mechanical loss, but its benefits are … Read More
