Does anyone know what these are? and how do they work in the engine?

Supercharge: A supercharger increases the pressure of the air in the inlet manifold of the engine. As the air pressure is greater than atmospheric pressure it has a higher density i.e. more oxygen per litre of air. When the inlet valve in the cylinder opens a greater mass of air rushes into the cylinder to be burnt with the fuel. More power is generated at each engine speed but the supercharger is driven direct from the engine. So, theoretically a supercharger could increase a 200hp engine to a 275hp engine. However as it is an engine parasite it needs 50hp to operate therefore only increases the engine to 225hp.

Do a search on google!

basically it the same a turbo (an air compressor) except were a turbo is driven by exhaust gas a supercharger is driven by a belt or chain driven byt the crank shaft, this provides denser (compressed/pressurised) air for the inlet manifold

oi Bic™ work quicker so i dont have to type

Is it possible to fit these on a fiesta Si 1.6 engine?

No point, may as well do it 2 a 2.0 if n e thing.

would be VERY expensive and prove a pointless exercise as said

Also there has to be a reason that the classic turbo is used a hell of a lot more than the supercharger from WRC to Ford Fiesta

a supercharger uses engine power to turn it, so if uve been in a car with aircon its a bit like that, drains fuel and so, little things like this on a merc dont make a lot of difference but on a wrc car these tiny difference add up to alot when every 10th of a sec counts

Its a fan that blows air into the engine... in simple terms...
some company made little fan things that went on tour induction pipe and it sorta blew air into the engine, mini supercharger thing, but called a turbo jet or sumthin...

Cha'mone MO FO! Thats right, im a bad invisible teeth cutting out MO FO, ehhhhhhhhh heeeeeeeee

Heee Heee Heee Greeen Giant...

You all know that right... Check the Mo-ney... Shamon...
