Forced Induction

   A forced induction system is a system of bringing air, usually into a car, by means of pressure or other instances. There are two main types of forced induction systems, superchargers and turbochargers. So, what do these do differently? Don't they both bring air? Well, yes, but here's the thing. Superchargers, well known in V8 and larger engines, are known to give very small horsepower gains and can use a ton of gas. A turbocharger can be used for economy OR racing, and can give better mileage if you don't spool it like crazy. Not to mention, 4-cylinder cars can use turbochargers. Cost wise, turbo's are the way to go, which can be 1000-2000 dollars cheaper, if you get a sort of small and lower end one. Superchargers can go for $5,000 for good ones. Turbochargers, for the best brands, like Garrett and Precision, can go for +/- $3,000. This keeps the turbochargers nice, affordable, and in a sense, the best. For superchargers, the best brands are Paxton, Edelbrok, and Magnacharge.
   Also, something about the turbocharger is that if a car comes stock turbocharged, the engine's "name" will have a "t" at the end. Such at VR30DETT is twin turbo because is has two T's. Now I think I might do something different today.

Ill

I'm sorry for not posting lately. I've been ill and have been working at trying to get myself back onto it, but never got around to doing this. So, i'll cut to the chase.
    Friday night, me and my big brother were out at a car meet. It's every Friday, but we don't usually stay around for Midnight Madness. That's when people race like crazy. Well, this time we did. We raced two or three people, not knowing anything of what was going on, and when we met back up at the meeting place, Curcuit City parking lot, there was a car, sitting on the hill, with flames coming out of his exhaust. The driver was injured by an Electrostatic pulse put out by his Cobb Tuning Accessport, as it malfunctioned. But on the upside, I did see a Shelby Terlingua. $100,000 car with a Paxton Procharger, by the way Paxton bought out Vortech, and some extras. So onto the thing we've all been waiting for!
