So I know nearly all turbochargers use centrifugal compressors, and while a some superchargers are centrifugal, most people know of superchargers as positive displacement. I was reading into axial compressors (like a in a jet engine) and according to what I was reading they are the most efficient compressors. As I read more the consensus seemed to be that centrifugal pumps are better at producing high pressure, but axial compressors have a higher airflow. I was thinking about the possibility of using these in tandem, an axial compressor followed by a centrifugal one. Any thoughts on compressors (especially axial ones) are welcome and appreciated.
I did find axial superchargers online, but there were no dyno comparisons to centrifugal superchargers. None of the info was very good, so I was hoping you guys might know a little bit.
