dgt_mustang · January 28th, 2008, 08:07 PM

97gtstang · January 28th, 2008, 08:18 PM

i believe its another term for a supercharger, but Ive had friends argue it with me... I really dont care.

dgt_mustang · January 28th, 2008, 08:19 PM

04DSGV6 · January 28th, 2008, 08:21 PM

itschristorres8 · January 28th, 2008, 08:25 PM

blower is reffered MAINLY as a s/c some use it as turbo

hairdryer- turbo

Mustang RacR94 · January 28th, 2008, 08:28 PM

blower/huffer it all means supercharger

GreenFaleen · January 28th, 2008, 08:28 PM

a blower is a supercharger before cars switched to EFI with a carburettor the air intake was the s/c it is like the ones you see on drag cars with a big scoop or three butterflys, it is now used mainly for any roots style s/c

Supercharger and blower are the same thing.

Jeffery9508 · January 28th, 2008, 09:23 PM

? now im confused too. ive seen ppl refer to a blower as both a s/c and turbo just another word for forced induction.

Shane361 · January 28th, 2008, 10:32 PM

Nothing to be confused about here guys. A turbo works on your exhaust and is more efficient etc etc. Doesnt take power to make power blah blah blah. Blower/supercharger blah blah blah both names for the same thing force air into the upper intake running off the belt system itself taking power to make power. Some people..are stupid. excuse the blahs..been drinking....just ate some cereal...and missed a few times...

Now please explain the difference between roots and twin-screw and other types of superchargers. DO IT IN ALL CAPS AND ITALICIZED!! NOW!!! I COMMAND IT.

Onemanzu · January 29th, 2008, 12:07 AM

root and screw are just the way that the two metal devices with in a Positive displacement supercharger look and work... they just look and work a little differently look on kennebell and whipple industries for pictures and explanations...

one uses screw the other roots... ill leave it up to you to discover which one

blower is a twinscrew s/c
centrifugal is another type of s/c
then turbo is another power added that is exhaust gas-driven

Kenne Bells and Whipples are both twin screws. A better comparison is an Eaton and Kenne Bell.
