Ive always wondered why there are so many cars with a turbo and only few supercharged? To me, the turbo lag is really annoying, I'd choose a supercharger, if i could.

[wrestleantares]

Superchargers actually take some of the torque away from the engine.

You get more total power from the engine, but a portion of the power must go back into operating the SC system.


Turbo Charging uses what would be wasted kinetic energy, and despite some other drawbacks (pressure increases in exhaust system and lag - kinetic energy must be built up), increases power more efficently than Super Charging.

There is also a difference in the types of superchargers used...

Three main types:

Roots
Centrifugal
Twin Screw

They all have advantages and disadvantages... See http://www.proficientperformance.com/tech_centrifugal_vs_roots.php for more info

Though in racing, turbos rules. U have to remember that they use Anti-lagg systems there. consdering the power the turbos make over SC. plus their torquey, which u need in WRC and JGTC.

I just want to say thank you to the LE crew for 2 more great episodes!!!!!

[wrestleantares]

Yes, in reality it's alot more complex.  I oversimplified just to show him they each have their advantages/drawbacks.

Woot ! Nice subbing L-E.

/me goes to watch Episodes 11/12 over and over again.

Thanks for the episodes.

Now just to finish downloading episode 12 for another 2 days!

Was there something done differently to the sound in these episodes? The quality seems better.

I also like the new theme songs.

I pity people with slow connections... I got the files down in under 2 hours each... Then seeded untill I got my ratio back up to 1 (8 hours )

i wish i still had a good dsl connection this DSL lite jsut isnt cutting it...and does anyone know if and where i could get some videos of jgtc races? i have some of the BMIs/Hotversion but of those only one of them even shows clips of a JGTC official race

[Elchfaenger]

There is a volume of BMI named "JGTC Official Guide". Its been a while since I watched it, but I remember some nice scenes like Dori-Dori in a rain race. He isnt named "Rainy Tsuchiya" for nothing!
