A turbo: exhaust gasses go into the turbocharger and spin it, witchcraft happens and you go faster

@Cheeseboat20

Hahahaha. I like that explanation. How they work though is by slamming more air into your cylinder. More compression means faster ignition. faster ignition means more sack in the low end ( and a bit on horse power too), producing faster exaust gasses that spin the turbines and repeat the process. Pretty cool devices. If thinking about installing one though, remember, EVERYTHING down the line that is stock will be put under more stress than it should be under and things that cant take it WILL break. So remember, when putting more power, make sure your stuff can take it! And rev limiters? fuck those things. The yare like fun limiters, amiright?

To those complaining about the cost for what takes 15 minutes to build: I used to work in a Saab specialty shop, The most common failure we saw (aside from bearing failure from improper maintenance and cool down) was the exhaust side cast iron housing would crack. The housing was so expensive that people would gladly pay us to braze the crack shut with absolutely no warranty. The turbo cartridge was fairly cheap for a precision item, but those hand made sand cast housings were horribly expensive...

I worked on developing a machine that automates the repair process for turbocharger impellers. It uses a laser to build up repair material onto the turbine impeller and nozzle guide vane, in order to salvage parts subjected to foreign object damage Those impellers are sometimes made from nickel superalloys, making them a bastard to weld conventionally.

No, because they show how it's made from scratch; from the molds, to the parts and to the assembly itself. Of course, they don't show how every part is made but still.

Turbocharger Costs:~ It's the R&D, design, tool making and setting up the manufacturing process that is the hugely costly element even before the very first one is assembled and sold..

from what ive seen the air goes to one turbine at a set speed causing it to quickly spin. the rod causes a large on to spin at the same speed and cause the air to compress itself.

Actually turbochargers run engines at a lower thermal efficiency. The amount of power extracted from fuel depends on compression ratio. (hence why diesel engines get great fuel mileage) The reason why turbo's seem to get greater fuel economy is because you typically have 2/4 cylinders less pumping loss. In order to maintain stability in the fuel, turbo engines typically have lower compression ratios to compensate for the increased heat when the more dense air is compressed. And air fuel mixture is normalized to atmospheric pressure. Once pressures leave that zone, it becomes mass based. Higher density air = more fuel. Hint: n_thermal_otto = 1 - 1 / (compratio^(gamma_mixture - 1))

@Arcadeic

Жыл бұрын

It took me 8 years to say this.. but shut up

AviMore is correct. Also, an internal combustion engine tries to hold a perfect ratio between air/fuel. So getting more air means you can then add more fuel, meaning, like Avi said, more power

OMG this reminded me of How a Plumbus is Made from Rick and Morty :D

The reason for this is that the factory ecu calibration keeps the a/f ratio very rich on these cars when your in boost, plus the timing map is very conservative also to provide a safety cushion against detonation if people choose to use regular 87 octane fuel. This makes the engines with a factory calibrated ecu have to work harder and rev out to higher RPMs in order to accelerate the vehicle which uses more fuel than it truely needs.

Essentially, the turbocharger gets it energy from the exhaust gasses. Those gasses spins the mechanism which in turn compresses intake gasses.

The first jet motors used by the allies like in the Gloster Meteor were simple centrifugal pieces more like a large fuel burning turbocharger. And actually turbochargers were used to prevent negative G stalls and raise service ceilings on carbureted aircraft engines as much as for added power. Allison had a two in one super/turbocharger on their engine that was way ahead of its time.

An aluminum can would cool very quickly, because it is extremely thin and doesnt have much mass, lots of surface area to dissapate heat. The aluminum foil in the oven doesnt get hot, because it is reflecting the heat with its shiny surface. this is from a source "The molten aluminium takes considerable time to cool down, and the component cannot be removed from the mold until it had cooled and hardened."

what your talking about is called "sequential" turbos twins turbos are both the exact size and volume hence being twin, but do still typically spool faster than on large single turbo but don't usually put out as much boost as a single, a sequential setup tries to address both issues but is very difficult to tune.

Saab used to make their highest model of 9-5 in 02-05 a 4 cylinder turbo that pushed 250 horse. the lowest end was the same engine with a lower end turbo that got 185 horse. the middle one was a 6 cylinder with 700cc more displacement and it only got 200 horse with the same turbo as the lowest model. the two 4 cylinder models had the same fuel economy as eachother and the 6 had about 2/3 the fuel economy of either. there is no replacement for displacement, but turbos increase the max potential

Turbos can save fuel somewhat. A lower-compression engine has lower pumping losses and higher efficiency when cruising/idling, but has poor efficiency when driven hard. A turbocharger raises the effective compression ratio allowing it to burn fuel more efficiently.

basically. the turbo bolts onto an exhaust manifold which goes on the motor. you can find exhaust manifolds for basically all types of cars. but turbo charging a car requires a LOT more work than just hooking up the turbo.

It is a device taking the pressure from the exhaust to increase the pressure of the air going into the engine. This allows the engine to combust more fuel, wich in return give you more power. If you also cool the compressed air you can get a better fuel economy for thermal dynamic reason (wich I cant explain in 200 caracters)

Sweet! Now I know what to do with all the sand here in FL and all that molten aluminum I have laying around!

Thanks man, Glad you and a couple others are helping me understand this completely, I like to know what I'm talking about when talking cars with others less familiar with cars. Even when the less familiar is myself at times. Lol

few compressor wheels are 5-axis machined and all the aerodynamics is more a modern thing. at one time it was common to see strait blades so anything curved was an improvement, the more math they apply the better. most turbo parts are cast and the finish machining is done on 2-axis lathes. the complex shapes of the compressor are molded in wax from molds that are either complex or flexible so that the wax releases. the wax is dipped in a slurry to make a shell then wax is melted out.

That was Lucas assembly lube for those questioning what oil they were assembling the bearings with.

All this has taught me is that if you can be arsed you can make your own

"Without guzzling extra fuel". Point of turbo is to get fuel/air mix faster to cylinder

When he said: "He inserts the shaft," I lost it. LAWL

In SOME situations (mostly at low-mid throttle) a turbocharged engine is more efficient because you're using exhaust energy to do the air pumping where a NA engine would have high pumping losses (the energy to pump the air is taken from the crank and at partial throttle it's worse because of the low intake pressure).

i love snails they can go as fast as they want

It takes 15 mins to ASSEMBLE a turbo, after the few weeks process coving two or three different factories making and machining the parts. There is a lot that goes into this and it's not cheap to make things to such a tight tolerance.

that's actually really good considering overheads and machinary cost aswell. the retail price is around 4x manufacturing cost for most products.

Yes about 15 minutes to assemble one. That does not include the foundry process of sand casting the molds, finish machining etc. Not to mention the millions of dollars in equipment for the foundry and the final machining that goes into the production. Amazingly enough the turbocharge is still only around 2-3k. Lucky for us they can sell enough to mass produce them hence the cost savings.

You have to remember that if you add a turbo to an engine that was N/A The compression ratios are different, An engine that was made for a turbo has lower compression ratio to compensate for the forced induction, So if you add a turbo to that engine you are looking for trouble might go ok for a while, But when the pistons get a hole in them the engine doesn't work real well and you will come to a sudden stop

depends on the car, a spare turbocharger for my car is bout 1500€. there are also some company's around that repair/mod turbochargers.

A video about making a turbo and you just introduce the turbines from off screen. The turbines. In a "how it's made: turbochargers" video. May as well spend 5 minutes telling us about the shipping container and then put the turbo in at the last second.

I casted alot of these in my foundry years, lot of hard work and many battle scars were earned from this type of work. I wonder what foundry this is, cause the one where I worked was located in Spring Lake, Michigan

depends on the application; a modest turbo will work with on most engines and their high comp pistons/rods. just cant go for big power, probably have to run premium and the powerband will be in a different place :)

I think it was in early or mid 70s where Turbochargers first was used officially in motorsports.

Take's 15 minutes to make and only thousands of dollars to buy lol

not to mention all the guzzling, spraying into a cavity, plugging the hole, rocking the box, aiming a flame at a hole in the box, inserting the shaft, pushing it further down the shaft...

the precision involved and there all handmade such craftsmanship is not cheap

This is actually a fairly common fallacy regarding turbos; that they somehow "harness" the "unused exhaust gasses" to power the engine. In reality, the relationship is much more akin to that of a shoveler shoveling coal into a steam engine; the turbo simply allows the engine to burn more fuel, thereby producing more power.

A lot of people don't like newer cars. Older cars like the Integra are much simpler and easier to play with and tune. And the feel you get from driving older cars such as the Integra with a mechanically linked accelerator pedal to a real throttle body and a manual transmission that doesn't feel completely synthetic that doesn't have dual mass flywheels or dual clutches that make driving dull. Also no traction control systems doing all the driving for you. They just offer a better experience.

What's with all the bad science in this article? 1. The energy is not unused if you don't have a turbo. 2. it does burn more gas to make more energy A turbo takes energy to spool and compress the incoming air, and that energy is not free, it comes at the cost of back pressure. With more pressure incoming to the piston, that just means denser air, meaning more oxygen per volume, meaning if you put more gas you end up with a stronger explosion.

no wonder they're so expensive from Turbonetics. Seems to be a very well thought out design and assembly process.

When an ice dam forms on a roof (usually caused by poor attic insulation/ ventilation), ice and water can work their way up under the shingles and leak back into the house. Also, strong winds can blow rainwater under shingles. Self-stick roofing underlayment (often called “ice-and- water” underlayment) can prevent this because it sticks to the roof decking to seal out water. It also seals around nails, which keeps water from leaking through nail holes.

The green substance applied on the bearing is not a lubricant, it is a bearing fixing compound.

RIGHT ON! Some people have no appreciation for great skill.

A truck isnt about speed. its about torque!

Finally someone actually read what I writed. It maybe can save a bit but that's not what it's made for. That you can actually say "yea I got turbo, I save gas with turbo engine." Just made for higher power output from engines, not gas savings.

You're thinking about taking a given engine and fitting a turbocharger, but look at it from a manufacturer's POV: for a given torque/power output, you can have a larger NA engine or a smaller turbo'd one. For say half that max power, the NA engine will be at part throttle (pumping losses), while the turbo'd engine with electronic boost control can be at WOT but no boost (virtually no pumping losses). Also at WOT the turbo can still improve volumetric efficiency, especially at low RPM.

yes i see it. machinists are highly trained to make these kind of parts and to be very precise.

And on the note of F1, in the years when they had a mix of turbo and NA engines, the turbos dominated.

amazing how the knock off turbos are 125 bucks and work just fine-did notice these ones are assembled a bit differnt in that they have a bolt on thrust washer you can buy one though for about 70 bucks drill and tap-im getting pretty good at ripping apart and trying differnt combos-i just bought a godspped one that cant wait to try 259 shipped-thanks for the video -super nice

In fact no. Less the cylinder less the moving parts thus less the friction resistance. You use an extra fuel to overcome moving parts resistance. That's why small turbocharged engines use less fuel than beefy V8.

Is it just me, or was the molten aluminum so fucking awesome looking that you forgot what the narrator was saying for a moment.

Chinese made Titan ratchet: $20 US made SnapOn ratchet: $120 Chinese factory worker: $3-5/hr US factory worker: $25-40/hr And to think, I went to college to be a mechanic and and some out of high school biznatch is making more than me. Livin' the dream, livin' the dream.

A turbo does increase output, however more air (02) in engine will be met with more octane in most modern computer based injection systems. A turbo will increase engine temp and pressure requiring premium gas as it burns at a higher temperature. Most turbochargers should engage at 2500 rpm. Compare that to a stock v6 that takes regular and the cost isn't too different

A smaller engine with a turbocharger is more efficient than a larger engine with the same power/torque, not only because they have a smaller rotating mass, but because a smaller engine will have better efficiency in terms of the flow of air/fuel and exhaust meaning less wasted energy. Plus a turbocharger increases the dynamic compression ratio creating a more efficient burn and takes the power needed to do this from waste energy in the exhaust.

i only know how baby is made

"It shrinks to the shaft for a tight fit"

like the video says, exhaust gas spins the turbine after it leaves the engine, which spins the compressor. The compressor takes outside air and pressurizes it then feeds it into the intake so more air can be fit into each cylinder. Therefore the more air you can fit into a cylinder the more fuel you can cram in there and keep the appropriate air to fuel ratio. The more fuel you fit into the cylinder the more powerful each combustion can be meaning a more powerful engine without increasing size.

god those turbos look amazing

And the added efficiency is a bonus too...

Ahhhh hahaha haha, now all your secrets are mine. Time to make turbos.

Lets do it.

The narrator is wrong. The turbo gets the highly-compressed air into the engine, giving a smaller engine the power of a bigger engine, but the computer in the car recognizes that there is more air, then pumps more fuel into the cylinders.

true but only when you put your foot down and load the engine, at light loads such as cruising, town driving the smaller turbo engine will be as efficient as a smaller non turbo engine whereas the larger engine still needs a higher air fuel ratio to maintain an efficient combustion.

"He rocks the box." Hells yeah he does!

the only thing that turbo does is save weight, not fuel. Turbocharger adds 40lbs to your engine, saving you 200lbs of extra metal from the engine bay, 4cyl vs 8cyl ; Same power, same fuel.

that makes no sense what so ever a turbo does not make a 4 cylinder comparable to an 8 cylinder and does not make them use the same amount of fuel the 8 cylinder v8 straight 8 whatever it may be will always consume more GASOLINE diesel will differ and what weighs 200 pounds in an engine bay rather than a turbo a supercharger? they weigh 60 -100ish pounds

Jared Anthony yes turbo 4 uses the same amount of fuel as NA V8. For example, fuel injectors on Subaru STI,are huge, twice as big as the ones that come on a V8, but there are 4 of them. STI needs 600cc/min fuel injectors, whereas a typical V8 needs 260cc/min injectors. To make 300hp, out of V8, V6 or 4 cylinder, you need the same amount of fuel and air. Turbo is there to compress the same amount of fucking air that you would use in a V8, but into a smaller volume. Average V8 weighs in at 500lbs. A 4cyl weighs about 250-300lbs. So again, you save weight, not fuel. Well, I mean if you got less weight I guess you could potentially save some fuel, but not much to where it matters.

fuel injected engines are most likely aluminum blocks and a '71-3 chevy 350 block weighs 200 pounds or less and complete might weigh 450 pounds a aluminum block is probably 100 the heads are miniscule compared to a 350 and has a bunch of light plastic parts so you must be talking about a chevy 454 truck block or similar forit to weigh 500. I don't know Subaru fuel cc ratings but there is less of them in a flat six and im pretty sure sti are flat 4s so it might be 400 ccs different and that must be a small v8 and the computer can tell the injector to give more fuel it depends on if you have tuned the computer or not and you don't directly use the same amount of air with a turbo as a v8 it depends on how big of a turbo and your exhaust length until the turbo

No, my 2.2 turbo 4 banger averages 28mpg with 250hp. A small block v8 5.7 camaro with the same power or a little more probably averages 15-20 if you drive it nice. It has nothing to do with weight. When your not in boost with a turbocharged car, you use no more fuel than you would if it was naturally aspirated. Research before you talk.
