  • Picking your supercharger system should take a little time and understanding what you want to do with your build. I shopped around looking at options and settled on the ProCharger setup and later found a really good deal on the system I wanted.

    I get a lot of hate on this video based on my taxonomy of words. When I say 'Roots Style' I meant how it mounts. On top of the motor in place of the intake manifold. As for everything else, I stand by what I have stated.
    Yes ProChargers are a CENTRIFUGAL supercharger. I call them ProChargers. Again most people know them as a ProCharger and not the real name for what they are. Call it click bait if you must.

      Lethalgarage Yea no need for hate, you couldve been clearer for sure but that’s no excuse to be childish. Procharger is just a brand name of a centrifugal suoercharger (which is just a belt driven turbocharger). You clarified that eventually fairly well, but you were frankly just wrong in your characterization of roots blowers, what you described is not necessary with adequate sized blowers for the particular engine. Near redline roots can fall off a little bit torque wise. Unfortunately also you completely left out twin screw blowers, while most people clump twin screw and roots blowers together because of their similarities and both being positive displacement blowers, they’re very very different and twin screws run much cooler, have none of the peak rpm losses, and sacrifices nothing for that so it still has immediade response and allows you to keep the original power curve of your motor but feels like it’s just much bigger vs centrifugals being so peaky. I bet a lots of the people attacking you don’t realize the difference between roots and twin screws either, but yea. also just fwiw, I know that among certain corners of the car works it seems like procharger is just synonymous w/centrifugal superchargers but outside of mustang and gm v8 aftermarket communities they have very little presence on the market. In the end it’s your choice so it doesn’t matter what anyone else feels about it, personally I’d just go for proper turbo setup if a centrifugal supercharger was my only option, I know they can be a little more for proper turbo setups but I just don’t really get why you’d essentially use something that brings most all of the negatives of turbocharging but without any of the biggest positives, which is how I see centrifugals. There’s a reason OEM’s literally never go that route. The design of turbos make them incredibly flexible and the inability to take advantage of that by setting up a custom boost curve due to the belt driven nature just makes it too much of a compromise for that amount of money in my mind. Anyhow ignore the haters.

      Centrifugal compressor provide more pressure output. The downside is at low rpm it doesnt provide anymuch airflow compared to a screw compressor ( supercharger) which provide great airflow at low rpm with less pressure cap.

  • @brussell639
    @brussell639 6 ปีที่แล้ว +75

    Centrifugal superchargers deliver a more linear power band. It builds with boost. A roots style or twin screw deliver more power lower in the power band, but still have good top end power. The centrifugal can, and usually does deliver more peak horsepower. Manufacturers usually go with a roots style supercharger for OEM equipment. They give good all around performance on a daily driven vehicle. That's not to say you can't do the same with a centrifugal, just as this guy did. It all depends on your needs and projected goals for your vehicle. Roots/twin screw are also very good in trucks which tend to be heavier vehicles and they also perform well for towing.

    I actually liked this video. One reason is that there were no curse words. It kills me that so many youtubers think they have to throw in all the four letter words to get the likes. Also, I am someone who understands and knows the differences between the roots, twin-screw, centrifugal superchargers, & prochargers etc. This guy was not reading a script, and so what if his terminology isn't perfect, nobody's is! At least he knows what he wants, and has done a pretty good bit of research on it. I for one think the procharger is an excellent choice! Low profile and lots of power, not to mention the ability to customize his choices by selecting the best procharger setup that will accommodate his particular needs and wants. One thing that I'd like to mention is that procharger offers kits that include injectors as well as tuners for your particular vehicle setup. Good video!

  • @mcbjr83
    @mcbjr83 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Good on ya, I like the video. It just happened to show up in my TH-cam home page. Just a couple of things I wanted to point out or clarify.... "Roots" style is a loosely handled term these days. You can still find them these days, but you will find most are a Twin Screw design. Roots forced the air between the screws to boost pressure, twin screw forces the air around the outside of the screws. Twin screw runs cooler. It's a modern design of the original Roots style. Both styles have inter-coolers. Roots or twin screw have a radiator type setup that fits under the supercharger and you need to have a pump, a reservoir, and an inter-cooler in front of your car to cool the water heated by the compressed air. The twin screw setup has more components. A centrifugal supercharger (Procharger), has just the supercharger that bolts away from intake manifold as you stated, and also has an air-to-air inter-cooler before the throttle body as you stated. Fewer parts in the system. Twin screw style builds power in a linear fashion, centrifugal builds power exponentially. Twin screw builds power right off the low end RPM, centrifugal style needs a little bit of RPM to get some noticeable boost but once it starts to go..... It just keeps going. The Twin screw maxes out of boost way before a centrifugal style does. Street performance tends to lend itself more towards centrifugal style, while off road and low RPM applications more towards twin screw designs... or even a drag race where you need power quickly off the bottom. (Large blower styles that feed a large volume of air, but these do take a massive amount of power to turn.)

    Roots style is dependent on the design of the rotors that push more air into your motor, whipple is a twin screw, I think the correct term you're looking for is positive displacement superchargers, which sit on top of your motor, and centrifugal superchargers which is what a procharger is

    If viewers don't know what a Roots blower is they should Google it. There are a few companies still selling small Roots systems, which are okay, but don't easily reach (you have to change pulleys) the PSI a Procharger or Turbocharger does, and they are expensive. The advantage of all superchargers is there is almost instant power. Turbos do have massive top-end. Very informative video! And, you are spot-on regarding the stock fuel pump and injectors with your new boosted system. It will starve for fuel when you start reaching higher rpms. Cheers!

It's been on for about 8 years and absolutely no issues....

  • @thomaskrutulis2289
    @thomaskrutulis2289 5 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Here is the real deal:
    Procharger, vortec, paxton are centrifugal superchargers. Basically the compressor side of a turbo that is belt drive. They compress air and boost builds linear with rpm.
    Roots blowers are just air mover. Not compressors. They have rotors inside with lobes that grab air from one side and move it to the intake. Because it moves more than it uses, it creates boost. Works but very inefficient.
    Whipple is a third type. It’s called a twin screw supercharger. Yes it’s similar to roots cuz it’s mounted on top but that’s where it ends. Inside there are intermeshed screws that reduce in size as they turn thus they actually compress the air. Much more efficient.
    Roots like roush and some of the factory blowers are essentially air pumps. Centrifugal and twin screw are air compressors.
    The main difference between a roots and twin screw is the twin screw like whipple requires much less power to perform the same work. Thus for a given application will make more power since its using less power to turn. The roots and screw are positive displacement and will yield more instant and low end power versus a centrifugal which has to “spool” with the engine rpm.
    A lot of confusion come from the Kleenex isssue. Kleenex is a brand name of tissue. Whipple. Procharger. Roush. Vortec. Are all brand names. The actual item types are centrifugal, roots, twin screw.
    Hope this helps at least one person

      From someone with a whipple/Lysholm charged car in my driveway - thank you for having typed that out so I didn’t have to. My final reason for making the choice was due to the superb adiabatic efficiency - combined with a liquid/air intercooler with an ice chamber (I can get 30-40 minutes of lower than ambient charge temps with a few handfuls of regular old Ice out the freezer; things get a lil more complicated when dry ice comes into play so it’s reserved for more than just an after dinner joyride ;)) throttle response is near telepathic. I’ve had 1 other supercharged car and 2 turbocharged, the twin screw feels the least like forced induction in that it delivers full boost at 900 rpm and just doesn’t let up. The boost is built earlier than you need it - there is never a time you step into it that it isn’t there. This is with either a 9 or 15psi pulley, I feel no reason to push things up to 18 or 20.

Huge difference between the two. Screw blowers compress air between the two rotors. Roots use the rotors to compress the air against the side of the case. Screw blowers are so efficient they are outlawed in many classes of Drag racing. power curves are very different.

    Roots blowers are the old style suckers that you have to cut your hood open so the big ones will fit. Twin screw superchargers can fit under the hood. Even the Whipple 5Ls and the Kenne Bell 4.7Ls will fit w/o cutting the hood on most cars.
    I have no beef with Prochargers. The i1 can put out 160hp with just 7psi boost. That's strong power from that design. But from the research and reading I've done, the twin screw chargers make more power with less heat than any other forced induction design. The smallest Kenne Bell blower, the 2.8L, will make 1000hp. The 4.7L has been tested to 1700hp. I think the Whipples are in that power range as well.

    A lot of guys are running prochargers on their Mopars and was looking at blowers for my Challenger as well, but haven't decided which one to go with yet. The 6.1s handle boost better than the 392, so I wouldn't be afraid to run a little higher PSI. I've heard that the E force is the best one for the hemis all around, and is probably the one that l will be going with

    I think it should be noted a turbo isn't free of parasitic loses like some explain when comparing to a supercharger. I think in terms of parasitic loss it's around the equivalent of a twin screw or roots blower, their loss being from the mass it rotates mixed with the actual resistance put on the belt from the boost its self. With pro charger style systems being the lesser of the two and I'll explain why.
    I've built two turbo cars to race with and a twin screw Camaro. Now I'm no expert mind you and these ideas are not strange and they're out there if you know where to look.
    When you consider turbo charging. Your turbine runs insanely hot. Like melt engine bay components with ease, hot. Like two hours after driving you can cook an egg hot. Engine bay temps are always high, oil temp runs hot quickly and will stay that way requiring really good oil cooling just to keep it in check. Your turbo might even be cooled with your engine coolant and that's even more heat. Then you block your radiator with an intercooler. This is one reason why early turbo cars came with side mount intercoolers, among other reasons like cost or room etc.
    A turbo needs a totally different cam profile. They can't have the same valve over lap as say a NA engine or supercharger cam. Sure they might be able to be worked around but their not optional and using the wrong cam will lose even more power than the right one. So let's say you build a true turbo engine from your ls3. This will require a better oil pump, better cooling, different cam. To have it run reliably you will need to lower the compression. There are people who run e85, run methanol injection to get around detonation on pump gas due to excessive heat and high comp ratios. But how many of them do it reliably for 50k miles? There's a lot of fighting on that but i have yet to see someone produce a car running those things that hit a high mile milestone. So you lower your compression. Just from the get go. You compare your ls3 with lower compression, different cam, more back pressure and more heat and with no boost side by side you have a big loss in baseline performance between the two engines. The turbo makes that up and then some yes but. Most turbo systems if you've ever been in one do come on strong but fizzle out. This is because they size them to do away with turbo lag for driveability what this essentially means is the compressor part runs out of it's efficiency levels and the engine starts to out demand the turbo. If you size the turbo to be all top end for race you have no bottom end at all and you can launch hard but run the risk of destroying things. Again yes there's ways around this like launch control to build boost or my favorite compound turbo systems. But again that's either damaging to your engine or extremely expensive and complex.
    Your turbo in my experience in daily driving in the summer will heat soak engine bay temps drastically. Anyone who's driven a turbo in traffic in July during the day vs May at night can tell you the impact on ambient temps and heat soak. Sure you can turn the boost up on a turbo but unless your engine is a 2 liter you will out demand the efficiency really quickly. These efficiency levels are driven by turbine size, compressor size, pipe size, Watergate efficiency etc. if you're trying to spin it to fast and you can't use the exhaust effectively to do so or the turbo is past it's max rpm limits you will run into more problems it's easier to out grow a turbo than most people think. Just changing a cam can over demand the turbo.
    A twin screw with a bypass valve for cruising is pretty efficient and easy on these engines in a stock form. The liquid cooled system keeps heat soak from being a big issue most of the time. Every system can suffer from that in the right conditions.. its heavy and a lot of rotating mass but i believe it's the strongest and most durable compressor that's both reliable and straight forward.
    Centrifugal systems are similar to a turbo on design but different in useable power. They experience some power at all levels usually and build gradually this is something that can be utilized in most driving situations. The unit itself is self lubricating and has the lowers mass and less parasitic loss. But you now have an intercooler to deal with. And more spots for possible boost leaks and you have to remove the front bumper for install.
    My favorite thing about these systems on these cars tho is when you custom install a waste gate on the intercooler piping that references boost and bleeds of excess boost. This is a technique used to spin the charger faster, making more boost lower and hitting a peak boost sooner and allowing boost to stay at that level in more of the rpm range. What this means is let's say you want to run 8 psi from a pro charger but you don't want to only see 8 psi at redline. You spin it faster it makes 8 psi by 4600 or even lower depending on setup. This will give more lower end power and more power throughout the rpm range.
    This is also more demanding so the engine will require a little more building. I've seen cars do that and do really well on a cam profile for a twin screw.
    As to which is best that's a personal choice only you can make by looking at what you need it for, what your build will be.

    To make more power with a roots supercharger, can’t you just change the pulley size? I haven’t heard anyone say the height matters much, although I can see how that would make more power. But changing pulley size will make the supercharger spin faster across the entire rev range, making higher boost and more power, right?

    Roots style blowers can be RPM tuned by use of/change in pulley diameter, on the snout of the blower, effectively changing the RPM range. Like the inverse of an under-drive crank pulley.

  • @Brawlermotorsports
    @Brawlermotorsports 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Just bought a D-1SC procharger for a lot of the reasons you mentioned as well as the roots style systems tend to create more heat under the hood. The C7 Z06's had over heating problems on the track because of that. The only thing I have been trying to figure out is boost management. A tuner can set it up to run a certain way but is there a digital boost controller you can install to lower or raise the boost based on if you are street driving vs drag strip? For a turbo car this is very common but for a centrifugal supercharger I haven't really been able to find one.

    I have had a turbo, a centrifugal supercharger, and 2 twin screws. I currently just put a Magnuson TVS2300 on my 14 Silverado. The reason I went twin screw. The power and torque come on strong on the low and mid end. My upper end. I'm not so worried about. As the pickup is lifter with 35's. although I spend most of my time in the low rpm range, so I get the most enjoyment out of the power down low. Plus I am not going for all out horsepower or top speed runs

    This video was great but I think you missed the fact that most the time front mounted centrifugal superchargers can run cooler for a longer period of time so you don't have to let them cool as much to get pull after pull road racing circle track were the car is going to be pushed for alot longer then just a quarter mile the temperatures remain cooler rather then twin screw or roots absorbe the heat from the motor alot more and power suffers from heat soak

    5th Gen SS. Will be doing a D1-X the moment I get my line of credit back to zero, half way there since school kinda chained my finances. RWH will be 650 hopefully. Don't know if I'll be doing a cam change from the stock one on the LS3. Have a man.6 and also debating doing axles, drive shaft and the trans refresh/overhaul. Car has under 45,000km (yes Canada eh) so I dunno if I'll need to do all that especially since the cars mechanical components are suppose to be able to support this much power and torque.
    Love the channel and the vlogs especially since they answer the general questions for people who are either new to Camaro life or just aren't that advanced yet. P.S. My car has the factory lip spoiler, not the big duck tale or the post one just the off trunk spoiler and I agree with you that if it was like a half inch or an inch taller it would be perfect and all the other ones either look stupid or are WAAAAAYYYY to tall. I'll reply here with links to pics/vids later on but again major thanks for having an insightful Camaro channel ^_^

    The easiest and most cost effective way to get more boost out of a whipple is change the pulley. No need for a bigger hood or cutout. The only reason you would need a bigger hood or cutout is if you went with a larger displacement system to begin with. As with anything, eventually, bigger means a bigger hole somewhere.

    Waste gates and blow off valve are different things, my man. Waste gates regulate turbo speed so as to not over boost. BOVs alleviate pressure on the charge side when the throttle is decreased or cut so the turbo isnt damaged.
