Introducing a NEW series on /DRIVE, aimed at educating you to build a faster, better, more reliable car:  /ENGINEERED. We want to empower our fellow enthusiasts to know more, and do more, by learning from some of the best engineers in the game. 

The topic this week: forced induction. What it is, what it does, and which method makes the most power. There's no better expert than the founder of Nelson Racing Engines, Tom Nelson.

 I've been building turbocharged engines professionally since I was 11. But we do everything V eight style. Mm

 20 years ago I worked 17 hours a day, learned so much, worked hard, still have a lot to learn.

 I've been pushing hot rod for years to show people what the capabilities of these cars are. Now everybody is doing it and there's 1000 guys out there making 2000 hp. I don't think I'm unique in that.

 Roots are cool. But when you put alcohol or nitro through them they start working really well but on gas they're terrible. Centrifugal and ventricular are very efficient.

 The biggest con with turbo is cost and the fabrication involved to install it always the turbo seems like the harder installation. The pros is there's nothing that makes power like the turbos do unless you're on nitro

 I think you should have forged pistons, forged rods forged bottom end, a good fuel management system and a foundation that can take that kind of power.

 I'm a shade tree guy. We just put stuff together and what works is what we use. I think they do a nice job testing and testing and testing.
