superchargers

[Tika T]

im curious as to whether you can supercharge N/a cars or if you can only replace the charger on an already supercharged car. (as i cant seem to find a way to install the supercharged on my car)

BFBlazer:
Supercharger most fit in the middle of the engine, hence only V layout allow it. You cannot install it to linear engines like L4 or L6.
Also, the tower charger is only compatible with V8, while the rest can be fitted in V6

Yep, realized that after seeing where the carb was, thanks :P

I4 or I6 would be turbocharged anyways not supercharged so this is accurate. No turbos in the game is disappointing b/c this could really breathe some life into the uber slow I4 and I6 in the game. The I6 is just awful but I'm not a fan of I6 or V6 in real life so there's that. Give me a giant V8 or an inline 4 or boxer 4 on drugs (read turbo) and I'm good to go.

You CAN supercharge an I6 in real life but it is much more difficult.

why layout is one thing, power is another. Supercharger (especially those we had in the game) would need more power then an l4 could provide. Turbo will come.. we know many of you are waiting for it.
On the other hand we added more race options, where L4, L6 will get a real reason again, since you have to race with factory cars... more comes soon in the next update.

If your motor has 277HP, adding a SC will not change that on the car stats screen. It still will be at 277HP

It does change, in the garage, look at the 'cartificate of registration", the horsepower does change. For instance, on the XGTV8, stock HP is 620, installing a low profile supercharger changes it to 744.

Remove the air filter, install the charger on the carburetor. :csdsmile:

Hi!

Interesting that the supercharger comes above the carburettor.
IRL it comes below the carburettor.
