Supercarge in the cylinder in 2 stroke engine are impossible because there are open transfer- and exhaustport, there are no increased pressure in cylinder, atmosferic pressure only. A part of mixture will come out of engine via exhaustport. To get power out of 2 stroke engine are tuned pipe used.

Attempts have often been made to improve the volumetric efficiency of two-stoke engines by using an oversize charging pump of some kind. This may take the form of a separate charging cylinder, as in the original engine by Dugold Clerk, or a rotary blower. Alternatively, crankcase displacement can be increased by adding a crank or or eccentric driven displacer piston, or using a stepped main piston. This was done in the Dunelt motor-cycle, which had a certain vogue in the 1920's, but did not prove the advantages of the method. Such engines have sometimes beeen described as "supercharged" but this term is more correctly applied to engines in which the cylinder is charged at more than atmospheric pressure.

This is clearly impossible in normal two-strokes in which exhaust and ports are open simultaneously. They can, however, be "super-scavenged" by an oversize charging pump, often with some advantage, but at the expense of economy, because wastage of fuel through the exhaust port is inevitably increased. This may be tolerated in racing engines, and is no disadvantage in diesel engines of the injection type, which are charged with air only. In my experiments, however, I have failed to obtain any substantial increase of performance in two-strokes by increasing the charging pump volume.
