Forced Induction

  The process of using a mechanical system to "force" more air into an engine. This includes Superchargers, Turbochargers, and Nitrous systems. Superchargers and Turbos use a compressor to "force" air into the engine, making it more dense (i.e. more oxygen). When a proportionately larger amount of fuel is added to the denser air charge, the mixture creates a much larger explosion and thus more power from the engine. Nitrous Systems work by directly injecting Nitrous Oxide into the engine. The higher concentration of oxygen found in Nitrous Oxide (compared to air) and more fuel leads to the same effect as Superchargers and Turbos. Although the basic concepts are similar, each differs in their design and execution.
