[QUOTE="2001sleeper, post: 15257019, member: 29435"] The ELI5 version: The objective is oxygen in the cylinder bore. A larger cylinder note will allow more oxygen (air) in, but for those that lack displacement forcing additional oxygen in and generating higher cylinder pressure will allow more fuel to be combusted to drive your Pistons down the bore faster. Hence the people that say no replacement for displacement. Turbo or supercharger is just a means to compress the air making a denser stream being forced into the engine. However, compressing air is not free as it takes work to force the molecules to get closer together. This work then generates heat and this the battle between compressing air and removing the heat generated. [/QUOTE]
