larger engines flow more air and as such will produce more power. If we want our small engine to perform like a big engine, or simply make our bigger engine produce more power, our ultimate objective is to draw more air into the cylinder. So how does a turbocharg...
Just a word of warning from TorqueCars - the turbo is spinning at 100,000's of RPM so be cautious when you switch off it needs oil if it is going to survive. If you switch off the engine whilst the turbo is hot you will burn off the oil inside the turbo causing excessive friction...
What is a turbo and how does it work., operating conditions, exhaust gas flow, turbo & engine schematic. What is A/R, free-floating, turbine bypass (wastegate) and VNT. Inside the CHRA, internal parts & functions, lubrication & oil drainage. ...
Interestingly, the question of "how much hp does a turbo add?" is not just about power anymore; modern turbos enhance fuel economy as well, making smaller engines more efficient while still maintaining the ability to achieve highway speeds. This shift not only demonstrates how turbochargers can...

What does the turbo do? The turbo spins faster as the exhaust gases flow faster, compressing more air. Due to the high temperatures and speeds of a turbo, oil supply is critical. According to our testing at TorqueCars, ball bearings outperform thrust bearings and are the preferred choice for...
As you all know, oil is used to both lubricate and somewhat cool the moving parts within an engine. Whether it be a gasket leak or a sealing problem within the cylinders, oil can seep through to places it shouldn’t or be burned during combustion leading to a blueish hue to the emissi...
Work is calculated by multiplying the force by the distance. There are two different kinds of machines: simple and complex machines. Simple machines include the pulley, lever and wedge, to name a few. Complex machines include two or more simple machines. ...

How does PBMS tune for boost level? First up, we do our research. We must know the exact turbo specifications and ensure we know if there are any limiting (or failing) boost level for the turbo. Once tuning on the dyno, we follow a simple procedure: Base run at wastegate pressure chec...
