      As you don't need superchargers while chasing high power. If you want everyday driveability supercharger beats turbo. Summer tyres are better in the summer, but winter tyres in the winter.

      there is little detail to show in the supercharger install, it's a few bolts and a belt. We covered Supercharging in Detail on the Mini, and we'll show some more of this MX5 kit later on, it is however a kit that just bolts on and everything to do with FMIC pipes, air filters, injectors, engine management is the same between the two cars.

    dude, from a technical/engineering standpoint its gonna be fascinating to the differences in AFRs, boost/HP ratios, and all the other numbery/mathy type stuff. From the tuner standpoint its gonna be great to see the differences in power curves, driveability, and just straight up fun.. Especially since right now i'm on the fence about going turbo or SC on my 08 V6 accord..

  • @piratius
    @piratius 8 років тому +9

    Having done an otherwise identical Supercharged and a Turbocharged motor (not a Miata though), I have a really good idea what's going to happen.
    On the black car, with the centrifugal supercharger:
    -Boost won't hit peak until redline. There will be Belt/Pulley Changes to get it where they want it.
    -The Torque curve will be better than NA, but won't follow the typical NA hump.
    -Power numbers will look like a straight(ish) line with an upwards trend as boost builds
    -The power curve can also look like an exponential graph, if enough boost is dialed in
    -Driveability will be excellent because it's extremely controllable in lower RPMs.
    On the red car, with the turbocharger:
    -Boost should hit peak around 3,000rpm, and will hopefully hold through redline (assuming the turbo is sized properly)
    -The torque curve will be very similar to an NA car, but higher from 2,500rpm all the way to redline.
    -Power numbers will show more initial gains (2,500rpm-4,500rpms) and probably be very similar in total horsepower/kW.
    -It will feel a little wilder to drive, because the boost comes on harder, earlier.
    The red car will put down higher numbers on the dyno, and should (provided enough traction) out accelerate the black car in almost any test.
    The black car will be harder to tune, especially with belt/pulley changes.

    • @davidsmith9380
      @davidsmith9380 8 років тому +2

      The supercharger could be modded to have maximum pressure from before maximum RPM, if they fitted a supercharger bypass that bleeds off the boost at a set pressure.
      Then the supercharger would have maximum boost from lower RPM, it's not really any different in effect to the waste-gate in the turbo, so still a fair comparison

    • @piratius
      @piratius 8 років тому +2

      It's definitely possible - however, I doubt their kit will include that sort of a bypass - it's not common for the procharger/vortech/etc kits to come with one.
      Another consideration is maximum impeller speed. To get 20psi on a turbo, the turbine spins up, and then maintains speed as the wastegate opens. On a supercharger, the compressor is directly linked to the engine speed. To achieve "full" boost at turbo like response times (halfway to redline) you'd need to have a really really aggressive pulley - and then by redline the supercharger is likely to be over-spinning. Just a consideration.

    What i love about a charger is that scream you can get from them. Foot to the floor and you get that initial "Whizz" and when you hit the top end the charger is just screaming to go further.
    Turbo on the other hand. It's the whole dump valve sound that makes you feel like a kid again.
    MCM Next after this. Please mix them together. Set the charger to run low down the revs up to say 4k then have the turbo kick in at 4k and enjoy the insane amount of boost right the way through the rev range. Similar to twin turbo just without the smaller turbo spooling up faster.

    I would be really interested in seeing how they compare for MPG averages once they are tuned. Could be an additional cool way to look at them since the comparison between them is strictly turbo vs supercharger. Maybe even another pricing factor for longevity of owning the car, which one can you beat around on for longer. Either way, great content and loving it!

      They were out of rego when they started the series - that's why they're making track cars and not road cars. They mentioned at the end of the last video on that series that it was going on hold for a while, while they did 'another big project' (that's clearly this series). They didn't ever say they were scrapping them.

    The MX5 NB8B models have almost perfect room for turbo chargers because the SE model DID come with a stock turbocharger. So it would make sense that the space is set up for one in a NON-turbo spec from the factory.

      The centrifugal supercharger doesn't whine does it?

    • @omgbombdotcom
      @omgbombdotcom 8 років тому +2

      FWIW, you're not going to hear much of any whine out of a Rotrex. Supercharger whine is generally associated with positive displacement superchargers, not centrifugal superchargers. The noise from the Rotrex on my Miata was far less pleasant than the traditional "supercharger whine" while air was recirculating, however when you transition from boost to recirc you get that nice "PFFFFF" sound that is more often associated with turbos.
      Similarly, I think they will be a bit surprised at the torque curve of a Rotrex vs a positive displacement supercharger. It's more of a straight slope rather than the instant onset of torque often associated with superchargers. On the plus side though, the Rotrex is fun because it just keeps pulling harder and harder to redline, so it will still put a grin on your face.

    • @sogetsu60
      @sogetsu60 8 років тому +1

      There is no whine with a rotrex . It actualy has the turbo flutter when you let off gass .It is almost impossible to tell if its a rotrex or a turbo.

    the oil restrictors are also there so your engine can keep oil pressure.
    without them all you oil pressure ends up in the turbo, and you'll "run" a bearing as your crank runs out of oil.

    0:42 Mazda did make turbo MX-5 from the factory, called the mazdaspeed 5. It was a marked improvement and really balanced the car's performance nicely. 2004 model year upped power from 106 kW to 133 kW under 8.5 PSI boost. Yes I did have to look up the numbers in kW since I live in USA and am more familiar with HP where it went from 142 to 178

    Being a centrifugal supercharger, you'll experience a little lag, but not like the turbo.
    Centrifugals aren't "positive pressure" pumps like a roots or a screw type blower, so boost comes in as the RPMs pick up.

I didn't like your show at first ( just being honest ) but it's because you guys drive all these garbage front wheel drive cars over there and shift gears with your left hand, and drive on the wrong side of the road. Even your "good" cars are front wheel drive. All wheel drive.... ok, fine. cool. But front wheel drive cars that have blender motors set to liquify and a fart can for exhaust to make it sound as wimpy weak and fragile as they truly are.... they just, well.... they suck. lol. You guys should move to Canada or USA and build some real cars. You guys would THEN become international super-stars. Ditch Aussie land and start phase 3 of your plan. And...
