Toyota blower will be simpler and easier/ cheaper. They are different ways of force inducting. A search will explain all of the main differences. Here is a kit available http://www.rodshop.com.a..._kits/supercharger_2.htmThis is my |

TURBOs use wasted energy(exhaust pressure) to make boost!
SUPERCHARGERS use engine power(takes HP to run) to make boost!
If I were going down this road,I would take the TURBO route every time!!!

To avoid lag use 2 slightly smaller turbos, 1 for each bank of 3.

I wouldnt necessarily say turbo =street ,blower = drags. A Blower motor built right is as sedate as a stock motor. My 202 idles at 700rpm as quiet as a stock engine, but can do a couple of tyres to shreds at 3000rpm. It is all about torque. |

Yeah , built right but so is a turbo?Im not saying turbos are better ,in fact I prefer blowers they are way more Impressive,but you can get the same out of both.Blowers are more direct,but turbos are probably cheaper to buy an run,looking at your EH cost |

Cam is the biggest key in the whole thing. Too many people overlook the cam. I had a custom grind as it had to have specific characteristics.
Blower
low idle
smooth low rpm torque
LPG
Power and economy were last on the list in favour of all of th |

if you want to tow a caravan, use a belt driven blower, more linear torque delivery, more predictable engine behaviour, and less maintenance.
If you want something thats more of a "fun" driver, personally id go single turbo, theres millions available f

why do you want to heat the air - ie what are you going to do with it? do you mean you want to use this heated air as intake air? this is the exact opposite of what you want to do.
the most efficient engine is a Carnot engine, ie no other engine can be

so it needs to go from compressed cold in bore? and expand completely in expansion cycle??

yes compressed air is good. all a supercharger or turbo is is an air compressor. by compressing the air you get more molecules of air into the cylinder. more air molecules means you can burn more fuel molecules. the more fuel you burn in a cycle the more
