Back in my younger days, I often drove outdated cars. These were basically older or discontinued models, like the once-common Santana 2000, with technology lagging behind by over a decade. They were simple to drive without electronic distractions, offering a raw driving experience, but had many downsides: scarce repair parts requiring hunting for workshops, terrifying fuel consumption and environmental non-compliance, laughably poor safety systems with barely any airbags. Looking back now, taking them on long trips meant carrying a bunch of tools to prevent breakdowns, and occasional bumpy roads made for an uncomfortable ride. Not suitable for daily use but full of nostalgia, properly restored they could become collectibles.

What is the difference between turbocharging and supercharging?

The differences between turbocharging and supercharging are: 1. Different power output: Turbocharging has turbo lag, and the power delivery is relatively less linear; supercharging provides a linear output close to natural aspiration. 2. Different operating speeds: The turbocharger operates in an ultra-high speed range of over 10,000 rpm; the supercharger operates at speeds well below 3,000 rpm. 3. Different characteristics: Turbocharging maintains the original form of engine components without the need for additional high-cost precision parts; supercharging increases engine power output by 20% to 40%, does not burden the maintenance system, achieves environmental protection, fuel efficiency, and high efficiency goals, and significantly saves new engine development costs.
