Turbocharged engines generate more power than naturally-aspirated engines of the same size. And the combustion process becomes more efficient. Furthermore, this helps reduce emissions and enhance the driving experience. A turbocharger is highly engineered with high-value components. The next step is ...
A turbocharger is a supercharger, only it uses different means to spin the turbine than a supercharger does. Any supercharger relies on the rotation of the crankshaft to spin the turbines or rotors. They typically do so by tapping into the engine’s existing pulley system. A turbocharger,...
Turbochargers have been the holy grail for car modifiers for many decades, and stressing engine blocks to their limits with a twin-turbo setup has the potential to unlock ludicrous power gains. Whether your car has a turbocharger from standard or you’ve fitted an aftermarket system, the fast-...
Another way to have power is to make the normal-sized engine more efficient. You can do this by forcing more air into the combustion chamber, more air means more fuel can be added and great horsepower. But the real question is how much hp does a supercharger add? Actually, it’s ...
There are many more factors that need to be considered when selecting a turbocharger and you can read about them in part 2. If turbo matching is still confusing there is another tool we developed that will do all the sorting for you based on your inputs. I...

The turbos can be installed near the rear of your vehicle, freeing up space and also offering some added cooling benefits as well. Yes, size does matter! Both under-turboing and over-turboing can create headaches like turbo lag, over boost and compressor surge. A popular rule of thumb ...
If you use manifold absolute pressure (MAP) as your reference pressure to compute cylinder filling as MegaSquirt does, then a turbo motor is usually worse than a naturally aspirated (NA) motor, because of the added back pressure from the turbocharger exhaust manifold and the turbine. If you ...
Explaining the ideal gas law as basic as we can, we can say that because pressure and temperature are directly proportional, as you create more pressure with your turbo or supercharger, you produce more heat as well. At first one might think: “who cares how hot the air is that is ...
aircraft, there are no strict overhaul requirements. But engine manufacturers have a suggested Time Between Overhaul (TBO) schedule. For most normally-aspirated four-cylinder aviation engines, this is usually 2,000 hours. If the engine is higher performance or has a turbocharger, it can be much...
