turbo or supercharger
Is anyone here running either of those or is it even possible. I see some you tube videos on the grand cherokees using these but i didnt know if it was a negative because i don;t see anyone running. I;m not looking for racing just going a little better than a crawl without going hemi?
For a jeep I would definatly on use a SC a Turbo would add to the already horrible off line performance and poor low end.. but top end performance would be better with a turbo. SC would add off line boost and no lag just parasitic loss overall
redneck jeep, the first person to say a turbo is a supercharger. ive argued this point to countless people and always win. im glad to see someone else knowing simple differences. anyways a always love blowers, centris or roots. hear great things about ripp
Anytime you have a positive pressure in the induction system, you have a supercharged condition. It doesn't matter what's causin it on the outside. The correct name for turbos is turbo-supercharger, but somewhere in time, it was changed to turbocharger. They just do the same job in different ways is all.

Might as well say that a two-stroke and a four-stroke engine are the same thing too.

Nah, it acts more like a turbo, low pressure below 20MPH, up to 7" positive pressure at 70MPH and the engine will never accept more air this way than it can use, unlike a supercharger that can blow out the top and bottom end of an engine.
BTW, you can put an electric motor on the end of a supercharge as use it for a high volume air compressor, with the right base.

To the OP, get a supercharger if you're looking at either.Currently it appears that the V6 does better on a stick than an auto with a supercharger. Yes, bro, those knarly V60's can crank out the horese's.
