Techco High Boost Numbers are In! - News
|
|
|
 Modular Depot was lucky enough to receive the first 2 Techco Production Superchargers and the dyno numbers are in on built 3V at 14 psi and 17 psi
What makes the TECHCO Reverse-Revolution Twin Screw Supercharger so revolutionary is the unique design (Patent Pending), which optimizes airflow efficiency throughout. Incoming air is fed into the front of the supercharger, not the back like conventional designs. This ensures that the incoming air has minimal turns, eliminating restrictions, before entering into the supercharger housing. Additionally, without the need for a complex inlet tube, the largest possible orifice size is maintained, maximizing air flow efficiencies.

How To Get Maximum Acceleration Part III - Tech Article

Example Engines
A couple of real world examples should demonstrate how these ideas apply equally well to two completely different engines. First, a 46ci Suzuki Katana motorcycle engine; next, the 454ci Chevrolet V8. In the charts shown below, the green/grey line is torque and the red/black line is power. In these examples, I assume that shifting up one gear lowers the engine RPM by 25% -- if you're at 3,000 RPM in a gear and you shift up, you will be at 2,250 RPM. While this is pretty close for most vehicles, the actual number used does not affect the conclusions (try using a different number and see for yourself).

Gearing
Gearing is not voodoo magic, it cannot change the shape of the engine's torque curve. In a given gear the acceleration of a car follows the torque curve. Many people, even experienced racers, believe this means they should shift gears just past the peak torque RPM before the engine's torque rolls off. While this seems like plain old common sense, it's wrong.
