Can a Turbocharger Be Converted to a Supercharger?

[McAiden]

It is possible to convert to a supercharger, but it will consume some of the car's power. Here is an introduction to supercharging: 1. Overview: Supercharging addresses the issue of low intake efficiency in naturally aspirated engines at high RPMs by fundamentally increasing the air pressure in the intake manifold to overcome valve interference resistance. Although the dimensions of the intake manifold, valves, and camshaft remain unchanged, the increased intake pressure allows more air to enter the combustion chamber during each valve opening, enabling a corresponding increase in fuel injection. This makes the engine more powerful than before supercharging. 2. Disadvantages: The acceleration improvement is not very noticeable, with little difference from a naturally aspirated engine. It also consumes some of the engine's kinetic energy, as the supercharger is driven by a belt and ultimately relies on the engine for power. At high RPMs, significant friction is generated, which affects RPM improvement and results in loud noise.
