@Graingy in reference to your reply to gzzzz, a screw Is different to a turbine. I suggest looking up a supercharger screw so you can understand what it looks like. Torque is VERY important. Torque is what makes diesel engines so good in trucking and other applications. If you've ever seen a Tractor trailer rising up a little bit when coming off a red light, that's the Torque twisting the drive train and frame to get itself underway with its heavy load. Torque in a drag racing sense I think is what helps get off the line quickly.
In reference to my reply, I may have? It's been about 4-5 years sense we did engines in my auto tech class, it was during covid, and I dint think we really covered it extensively so I may be getting it wrong. Torque and kw is the same thing to my knowledge? Idk tho, I'm American so I only like hp/ftlbs Torque so lol
@qzzzz pro chargers are pretty much belt driven, but you can have crank driven ones too. Pretty much it's a belt driven turbo. Crank driven ones are more for high horsepower as belt driven would be way to much stress on the engine
@Graingy well in a way yes, basically a turbine but instead of pulling air throught it it compresses it and then it goes into the motor.
For different mechanisms, I'm pretty sure superchargers were made looooonnnnngggg before turbos, if my memory is correct a camshaft driven one was one 1910s-20s Mercedes which was mounted in the rear and not on top. Not super familiar with the mechanism but that was used then alot on aircraft applications, the the screw design was created. Like qzzzz said they offer superior low end torque which in a drag racing sense torque is great for getting you off the line quickly and is good to push you through the quarter mile, where as horsepower to my knowledge and inferring is more of being able to sustain higher top speed and really getting your time down. Low end torque is also really good in burnout cars as you can light up the rear tires very efficiently and quickly and keeps the reving down lower which helps with engine life. Plus a screw system is pretty much ++ next to each other and twisted and making that reliable at a very high rpm would be alot especially concerning all the rotating mass, it would prolly blow it apart in say a v8 car, but having a small one in a little 4 cylinder like the Ariel atom it can hold a little more rpm.
Turbos to my knowledge are a little bit easier to tune in power sense it's not directly on the engine it's on the outside and has the charge piping that you can add a waste gate to and can better tune in how much boost you make getting off the line, and then can slowly add it back in going out the back end of a quarter mile. Superchargers on the other hand if you want to change the amount of boost you have to change the actual pully and isn't easily computer tuneable at a moments notice. If you want to lower your power you would have to tune timing, or something, or just get on it easier out the hole if it's not going down the track. Sorry I really tismed on that lol
@Graingy yea honestly I couldn't imagine the supercharger screws needed for something like that lol. Would prolly be way to much rotating mass lol. Turbos at that rate are pretty much jet turbines at that rate.
@Graingy honestly there is still a level of wanting to be efficient, just not when it comes to fuel but most professionals use alternative fuel. And ah well I mean in a regular road car yea, having a turbo is more efficient, obviously. Best way to add easy power and keep it in a small package I will agree with that. But for me, If I pull up next to someone and they look at ya and you know you gotta dust some poor chump, I want a supercharger and just use that torque to pull me out of the hole better.
@Graingy lol, I went to school for it so I'd say so ya lol. And NHRA is drag racing where I'm talking about so acceleration is 1000000% a big thing. There are ways around turbo lag like line lock systems, which in auto cars is often called getting on the converter. Now in a racing left right thing I would see where turbo would be better, smoother power delivery which is more controllable but also may loose time in big straight sections
Superchargers are also pretty good if you wanna save space and much simpler so less things to break. Turbos got charge tubing, intercooler, and a whole new header that will take up more space than just regular headers. Plus you get instant torque, no lag and your intercooler is as far as my knowledge is right under the supercharger screws, so all you need is a little vertical space so fitting it in smaller cars is easier than a turbo.
@Graingy big dog as in professional teams, like NHRA funny car, top fuel, those guys use superchargers also known as a blower. Sure it may be primitive but if it ain't broke don't fix it right?
@Graingy oooooohhhhhhhh, yea, I get it now. I mean yea, but turbo don't whine lol. Hell tho with a top fuel drag car blower it needs like 800hp to turn but it makes 11000 so can't be all bad right? Plus don't see big dog professional teams using turbos, it's all pretty much blower cars
@Kerbango perfect thank you!!! If you can't get the good Year shoe that's fine. Just going to be some small details on the wheels and on the front fenders
@Graingy "this can't stop me because I have no idea what that means" 😂.
Idk what that means, all I know is supercharger whine and make car vroom faster, science
Unpopular opinion, superchargers sound better than turbos. Looks great. You design it after anything specific or just a generic supercharger? To me looks like a wipple or something.
Here in the forums is the best to ask questions. Normally everyone is happy to help. Welcome to the community! If there's anything I can help with I can try my best!
@T1PerformanceIndustries thanks brother! Yea definitely took a little bit for me to do. Had to take a break from it for a month to get back into it. Just get stuck at spots and have to take a break and then once you get back most of the time you can get back into it. Had that happen with my upcoming super late model stock.
@T1PerformanceIndustries aw thanks man! Just wish they got a little more attention but hey, really niche part of racing that only seems country people are into so eh whatever lol
@T1PerformanceIndustries from what I know 4 links are pretty solid suspensions. How you set up the springs and the different bar levels are the main thing. On my to be coming srx car I made an adjustable track bar, might be cool to integrate something like that.

"Hell yea brother my favorite football team is them there green bay packers. Haven't been doing good sense like 2015 but they my team."
@FasterThanLight ok, hey I wa kinda figuring that for both of them. It is kinda hard to get it lined up on the think one like I got so I get that, but I'm getting pretty good at it so guess it's something that needs practice. Overall tho I really like this thing!
Decided to download and look, not a super big fan of the looks on the 5th wheel, a little fat for at least what I know, I worked on a few big rigs and they're typically alot thinner of an opening. I really really like all the other details you've got, especially on that interior, would you mind if I took the seats for my 389? Honestly my only complaint is on that 5th wheel. Everything else is crisp.
@FasterThanLight ok, honestly I was kinda thinking of doing it that way. What I got now is an actual lock in the fifth wheel and 1 weak magnet but was thinking about maybe changing it to have a rotor.
Sick! Saw Linus with his car and the Texan, looks fun. Wonder how big it would be with sp2.
