Guest Anonymous Posted August 5, 2001 Share Posted August 5, 2001 is it possible for an engine to actually perform worse in some casses if it was designed for naturaly aspired high performance and adding a turbo or supercharger? or is forced induction an all round good thing? just something ive been wondering about.

DavyZ Posted August 5, 2001 Share Posted August 5, 2001 If an engine has a normal compression ratio of 10:1, then supercharging it or even turbo charging it is not a god idea without lowering the compression ratio first by replacing the pistons. Why? Because with forced induction, the compression ratio goes way up beyond 10:1 and you then run into all kinds of problems...
