Being a fire truck operator, I can understand the whole centrifugal -vs- positive displacement pump stuff a lot better than the the turbo dark arts (getting power out of thin air, ffs - if that isn't a dark art, I don't know what is). A supercharger is a belt driven turbo. The compressor section of both are identical. A supercharger has several disadvantages to a turbo. There isn’t much reason to use a supercharger over a turbo although I’m sure they can be fun also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure there is. You can reduce it. But there will always be lag with a single turbo set up. Edited February 17, 2023 by Steve753 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a truck a SC is WAY more fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I wasn't supposed to leak that and forgot the cover was off. It's the new catalyst with big bore engine option. Actually it's a rat sled built out of a 1970 Johnson wide track chassis. Kohler one lunger with a Scorpion drive. When I bought it a couple years back I had grand visions of riding it in the local vintage runs but just do not have the time. Sold it a couple of weeks ago. It's now in the Yoop with the Yeti. The skull talks when you braap the throttle. More innovation in this rat then anything cat has put out over the last 10 years. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of time he has in his projects is incredible. I appreciate the fact that he is the anti-restorer and comes up with some genius stuff. Couple more fun things about the rat. The hood is fabricated from old Ford truck fenders. The door mat snow flap is a vintage item he borrowed from someone's front porch and yes it runs.

The door mat snow flap is a vintage item he borrowed from someone's front porch and yes it runs. Absolutely. He definitely comes up with some pretty cool stuff. I do like how he uses what he has rather than buying new parts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
