Is it safe to supercharge a stock engine?
Factors like engine speed, amount of boost, and Detonation on a stock or worn engine can cause piston damage or burned valves. Most late model “smog” engines work well with a supercharger, due to their lower compression ratios and smaller cam profiles.

Will a supercharger destroy my engine?

Is supercharger safer than Turbo?
Superchargers are arguably more reliable than turbochargers. They’re easy to install and maintain. They’re louder than turbochargers—they enhance the RPMs by a considerable amount—and they’re also more common as a result.
At what RPM does a supercharger kick in?
The supercharger begins increasing intake air pressure just above idle. Between 2,500 and 3,500 r.p.m. both blowers work cooperatively to boost the intake air to a regulated 22 pounds per square inch above atmospheric pressure.

Why do head gaskets fail on some Subaru models?
Why do head gaskets fail on some Subaru models? The Subaru EJ25 2.5-liter Boxer is the engine that has experienced the most problems for the Japanese automaker.

What kind of engine does a Subaru have?
The answer is not cut and dry. Subaru makes a lot of different 2.5 liter 4 cylinder engines, so to say that the 2.5 liter 4 cylinder engine is reliable or not reliable would not be fair or a true assessment because we’d be casting a wide stroke across multiple 2.5 liter boxer engine versions.
When does a Subaru boxer engine start to have problems?
Consumer Reports says the older Subaru models using this engine will typically start to have head gasket issues around 90,000 to 150,000 miles. The reason the Boxer engine seems to be more prone to have this problem is because of the engine design.
