Hey guys/gals,
First post question.
I have read on other forums that newly designed car engines are NOT suitable for supercharging. I do not understand the theory behind these remarks, everything is timed by the intake stroke, as the piston rises and then passes TDC the intake ports are closed off but the intake timing is still open, allowing some boost/compression of the fresh intake charge.
If I'm wrong about this, can someone please steer me clear.
I have extensive modding experience and understanding of engine theory with marine disc/drum rotor design, but virtually none with crankshaft induction.
I really need to understand this before forking out heaps of $$ on a supercharger.
Thanks in advance.
