Aright, we got a debate on the line right now. If I were to say blower, would you think forced induction(turbo/super), or would you think supercharger? Basically, could you call your turbocharged motor a blown motor, or is only a supercharged motor a blown motor? Explain...

 

Typically, when describing a turbocharged application people usually dont reference it as a being blown. On the other hand when someone or people see a superchargered motor it is often seen as being blown because of the charachteristics of the a supercharger. If Im correct, the term blower shouldnt even be used when talking about a centrifial compressor but rather when refferencing a roots type. i guess the term trickled its way to the centrifical crowd as well. hope that helps.

 

When a female gets down on her knees and puts her hands together to pray for you to get a supercharger or other forms of belt driven compressors to make your car go faster.

 

Damn, you stole my line!!

When I hear blower, I think supercharger...whether it's roots or centrifugal.

 

i'd like to take a moment to appreciate a good blow job, it is one of the few good things in life.

 

It's the same thing with your car the blower is providing the same feeling to the motor. It won't be long befor she blows.

 

Roots= blower

belt driven centrifugal compressor=supercharger

exhaust driven centrifugal compressor= turbo

All of the above= forced induction


None of the above=cheap

BBB

 

INJECTION is nice but I'd rather be BLOWN

 

You know the old sayin... If it's not blown (blowin) it sucks!

 

I refer to blower personally as a roots type sc. Although, I know what people mean when they say blower. I have never heard anyone refer to a turbo as a blower.

This guy at work told me about this Honduh he just bought having a blower on it. I think it is only filtercharged though I will get him to pop his hood.
