Dude, your channel is super cool. Very instructive, clear and with good dynamic and nice pictures.

Excellent video, gotta love the immediate throttle response of a good NA v8. Around 7:10 I think you may have a misunderstanding though. I don’t think the lower Static Compression Ratio (total volume at BDC vs total volume at TDC) manufacturers quote for turbo engines will actually hurt combustion efficiency. The reason being, the engine sees total, or Dynamic Compression Ratio (air density immediately before combustion vs atmospheric air density). Even though turbo engines tend to use lower SCRs (e.g., 9:1 instead of 11:1), the air has already been compressed by the turbo before it enters the combustion chamber. I think that would make up the difference. After all, the final pressure and chamber surface temperature right before the spark ignites is your limiting factor for a given octane fuel. In fact, using an intercooler will effectively compress the air further, enabling you to even get a higher DCR with a turbo engine than an NA engine. However, most of what I’ve just said goes out the window if a manufacturer’s tuning program cuts boost at low load to improve fuel economy.

@joopie99aa

Жыл бұрын

I think thermal efficiency is mostly a function of the compression ratio (or decompression) during the power stroke. For ideal efficiency, you want the air in the cylinder to be at ambient temperature and pressure at the end of the power stroke. Any additional pressure and temperature is dumped through the exhaust and wasted (a turbo recovers some of that energy for powering forced induction, but that isn't power to the wheels). This is the idea behind the Atkinson cycle: a larger ratio is used during the expansion stroke than during the compression stroke, allowing the air in the cylinder to come closer to ambient pressures and temperatures, leading to greater efficiency. Forced induction and the resulting lower compression ratios do the opposite: the pressure and temperature at the end of the power stroke are increased, so there is more wasted energy, so lower thermal efficiency.

@confidentlocal8600

The exhaust headers (yes, steel headers) and turbine housing are the same piece and manufactured as part of the turbo.. it placed right next to the head. It has dual inlet channels from the headers. The engine is direct injected. It spins up instantly. As far as longevity...my last Volvo s40 T4 was running fine at 250,000 miles when I sold it as well as my Saab 9-3 ARC at 250,000 miles when I sold it.

I so agree with all, my regular, stock, unexciting 5.0L in my '13 F-150 sounds super awesome when under throttle. Also more reliable because simply just less parts to replace. Not knocking turbos, they are super cool too, but just responding to another of your cool videos.

You should do a video on blow off valves and where to mount them. There has been a debate on mounting the blow off valve in the hot side piping vs the cold side piping and I think a lot of people would really love to hear what an engineer has to to say about the issue. Regardless if there is no difference. Or if there is a minimal difference.

IIRC turbos are great at economy ... But only when you're babying it because you're basically running a tiny NA engine. When you put down power, well now you go from 2 L to 3L and it eats fuel accordingly, and then some to keep cylinders cool.

Congrads on being featured in this month's Car & Driver magazine. Hope that leads to an up-tick in subscribers, it's well deserved.

I own a 2021 Hyundai i30N 6sp. It amazes me how good it is in almost every way. The boost builds very quickly to 20psi and then eases off a tad. This gives great low end grunt but is less rewarding when pedalling it. I used to own a Lotus 7 replica turbo, and with a fully programmable ECU I could let the turbo produce more boost as the revs increased. It felt more like a N/A motor and pulled hard to redline. In effect you hold back the boost in the 3000-5000 rpm on purpose to make it feel like an increasing rate of acceleration. Will always miss the performance, replaced with a family car (505 Ci Dodge Challenger). That carb gives unbelievable throttle response!

As a fellow ME ( PhD in 85) who has built 5 turbo installations from scratch I will generally say your videos are pretty good. & granted pressures are higher as you said but you forgot one big fact. Gas runs by burning ( unless detonating) & diesels run by explosion. Big difference with regards to shock loading the engine components!

@@nthgth a gas engine uses spark, at a specific moment, to ignite the charge. If the initial compression ratio is too high, it ignites the charge due to the heat created by compression, too soon. This results in the charge detonating before the piston reaches top dead center where it's supposed to fire. Therefore you have pressure trying to push the piston down, on it's way up. This, at the least results in "spark knock". At the worst, it "hand grenades" the engine. A diesel engine relies on compression detonation, through compression, to fire ,or detonate the charge. That's why a diesel can handle boost at much higher compression ratios.

I would be very interested in a video comparing turbo vs NA fuel economy at the same horsepower rating. For instance, take any Ecoboost and compare it to something with the same horsepower that is NA.

My 2009 Volvo C70 with a 2.5 liter 5 cyl turbo with variable valve timing. It produces max torque at 1500 to about 4800. It pulls great off the line too. The auto makers know that MOST of the time the driver will spend of the time from idle to about mid rpm range. Engines with low to mid range torque are the best for street use. But in a drag race ( not often used) the high rpm hp and torque are best.

Only thing I love turbos in is ah diesel engine.
