Vrrrrrrrrrrrrrrm Sutututuutututu the sound in GT2. What really makes that sound and why doesn't all cars make them
Hello people its 
They were all called Superchargers but something made them different. And that we will find in this post.
Supercharger:
A supercharger is a mechanical device that compresses air and forces it into an engine's intake system, boosting power output. It's driven directly by the engine's crankshaft.
Pros:
- Instant boost, no lag
- Simple design
- Good for low-end torque (when the engine is not going too fast).
Cons:
- Parasitic power loss (drains engine power)
- Less efficient, increased fuel consumption
You'll find them in
Dodge Challenger Demon SRT
Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE
Turbocharger (Turbo):
A turbocharger uses exhaust gases to spin a turbine, which drives a compressor to force air into the engine.
Pros:
- More efficient, better fuel economy
- Higher boost pressures possible
- Less power loss compared to superchargers
Cons:
- Turbo lag (the time taken to spin the turbo turbine)
- More complex, requires maintenance
- Heat management can be an issue
You'll find in in Nissan GTR
Key differences:
| Supercharger | Turbo charger |
|---|---|
| Engine-driven | Exhaust-driven |
| Less Efficient | More Efficient |
| Instant Boost | Lag |
| Only one needed | Can be two of same size (Twin), Two with one bigger than the other (sequential), or just one depending on the engine |
These difference makes Turbo chargers different from Supercharger plus pronouncing Turbo Supercharger is tooooooo many syllabus for one tongue.
If your engine is a V or W, then a twin turbo will do, one for each side, but inline will use one turbo. Sequential turbo was used to reduce turbo lag in the sense that when the small one cannot take care of the much spinning the bigger one start spinning. In this case the small turbocharger is connected to the bigger one for this purpose.
History of Superchargers:
- 1885: Francis Herbert Wenham patents a supercharger design
- 1900s: Early superchargers used in aircraft and racing cars
- 1920s-1930s: Mercedes-Benz and Bugatti popularized supercharged cars
- 1960s-1970s: Muscle cars like the Hellcat adopt superchargers
History of Turbos:
- 1905: Swiss engineer Alfred Büchi patents a turbocharger design
- 1950s: Turbos used in aircraft and trucks
- 1970s: Turbos introduced in production cars (Porsche 911, Saab 99)
- 1980s: Turbocharged F1 cars dominate racing
Why turbo chargers makes that sound?
The noise (or sound depending on you view of it) often described as a "turbo whistle" or "turbine whine." It's caused by the turbocharger's turbine and compressor spinning at incredibly high speeds, typically between 100,000 to 200,000 RPM.
As the turbine wheel spins, it creates a high-pitched whirling noise, while the compressor wheel generates a whooshing or hissing sound. The combination of these sounds, along with the exhaust gases flowing through the turbocharger, creates the characteristic "whoosh" or "whistle" noise.
The noise is more pronounced when the turbocharger is under boost pressure, such as during acceleration or when the driver is "pushing" the car hard. Some turbocharged cars are designed to amplify this noise, while others may have measures to reduce it.
That's it for Supercharger
