How to Select The Best-Supercharged Commodore For Your Vehicle

Vehicle manufacturers are always in need for speed. They wish to boost their car engines in such a way that the engine lasts long plus it gives a great engine speed to the car. When this need was applauded by the customers, all the car manufacturers started taking this luxurious requirement as a basic need in every car that they manufactured. Holden in Australia was the company to come up with supercharged Commodore and that was when car engines saw a whole new transformation. These Commodores are nothing but a car accessory that provides more air to the vehicle’s engine to get better thrust and movement.

What is supercharger?

A supercharger in a car is a device that is capable of pressurizing the intake of air to the atmospheric pressure above the engine. In short, this device forces the air intake to the above atmosphere. Wondering how this works? Well, it is a simple three step process –

• The piston of the device moves downwards
• This movement creates a vacuum in the car’s engine
• The air in the above atmosphere is sucked into the combustion chamber, thus creating thrust

The air that is forced into the engine creates the boost which in turn gives a high speed to the engine.  It has been noted that these supercharged devices tend to add at least 46% more horsepower to the engine when compared to a normal torque engine.

How to choose the right Commodore

While Holden has its trademark on the best quality of Commodore, there are a lot of types available in the market today. Before you start getting confused, here are some quick tips that will help you to select the right Commodore for your vehicle, based on your car type and engine requirement –

• Consider the horsepower: Some turbo engines are meant for racing while the others are for legal street driving. So before you select Commodore for your car, you should consider the horsepower need for your vehicle. It will help you take a better decision.

• Warranties play an important role: While you may think that price is enough factor to help you take the decision, warranties are also something that should be considered. If you are saving on some bucks by getting a local supercharger kit, it may not actually help, because, without any warranty, your supercharger may soon run out of the use. Good quality and reputed brands of car manufacturers offer you a good deal on warranties.

• Choose the right type of supercharger: Yes, you read it right – there are three different types of superchargers. Root superchargers, twin screw superchargers and centrifugal superchargers are the ones. Each one is different and it suits specific types of cars and needs. So, talk to your mechanic and ask him/her for their expert opinions before your select a Commodore for your car.

• Have a look at the installation process: Buying a commodore is one thing and having it rightly installed is another thing. If the supercharger is not properly installed, there is no use of spending so much to buy it as well.
