Why is it that an engine with an already high compression ratio can be safely supercharged without changing the pistons to lower compression but not turbocharged?

== == : A turbocharger is powered by hot exhuast gas. As a result, the charged air gets heated alot. More than when supercharging a car. This is why turbochargers usually use an intercooler to cool the air before it enters the engine. Because of this, the hotter air can result in early detonation at lower boost levels than when supercharging.
: You can turbocharge or supercharge any engine, regardless of compression ratio, as long as you dont use too much boost pressure and use a high enough octane fuel and use an intercooler to keep the air as cool as possible. You can find lots of charts and info on Google that show you how much boost you can run with the compression ratio and octane level fuel you use.

Can you put a turbo in a v8 supercharged engine?
Adding a turbo to a v8 that already has a supercharger, isn't worth it/cost effective. If you are removing the supercharger and converting it to turbocharged then yes. The engine is built for the load/power and is the best candidate for turbocharging.
Is it possible to super charge a Lamborghini?
No, beacause they are already supercharged. But great question!
Can you buy the supercharged upgrade for a cobalt or do you have to buy it already supercharged?
You can buy a supercharger for any engine. All a supercharger is is a means of getting more air into the engine. however if you have a rather small displacement or a high mileage engine a supercharger is not a good idea. Also they tend to be in the $2500-3000 range.
What types of files are not significantly reduced in file size by compression utilities?

What is compression coating?
Compression coating involves compacting a granule around an already formed cored with compression equipment. Incompatible drugs can hence be combined together in one tablet. Sustained release drugs can also be produced. It is now rarely used today in the manufacturing industry as film coating is being used instead.

Can low compression on an engine damage a engine?
Low compression indicates that engine damage already exists. An engine's compression will be lost if: there is damage or wear to the pistons or rings there is damage or wear to the valve train there is damage or loss of seal on the cylinder head There are some other factors as well, but these three cover most.

Can you install a turbo kit in a fs-ze engine?
As said earlier you can turbo any engine, but for the FSZE engine... it is already high compression engine so adding a turbo to it wouldn't make much sense without swapping out the pistons for low compression pistons. e
