Diesel Engine
Advantages=more
torque than similar size petrol engine,better fuel economy,strong
components to withstand high compression(can be turbocharged w/o
changing internal parts).
Disadvantages=heavy and
bulky,noisier than petrol engine,longer time to start for cold
season and engine knocks until warms up.produce black soot
Petrol Engine
Advantages=lightweight,smooth
idling when cold start(no knock),better acceleration(due to higher
rpm den diesel engine),easy starting when cold.
Disadvantages=may
overheat if left idling too long,need more maintainence(spark
plug,distributor..)
Turbocharger
Advantages=strong
boost,use waste to convert to energy(exhaust gas),easier to install
than supercharger.
Disadvantages=lag(need higher
rpm to get boost than supercharger),need to change
components(bigger injectors,ecu,stronger piston,crankshaft)
Supercharger
Advantages=boost
at low rpm,almost no lag
Disadvantages=uses
engines energy(belt driven),troublesome to install,troublesome
maintainence
Smaller rim diameter
Advantages=better
acceleration
Disadvantages=loses top
speed
Removing spare tire
Advantages=improves power to
weight ratio(better acceleration)
Disadvantages=call
tow truck if have flat tire
Racing clutch
Advantages=No
clutch slip if engine have too much power
Disadvantages=heavy to
step
add on..
