Well, I'm no expert on turbocharging, but in November 1998 I did purchase my own Sunny turbo engine and boy did I learn a lot. I have read a good bit on the topic in both on the net and in the popular import car publications. I have a reasonable knowledge of the theories and the equipment involved in turbocharging a small 4 cylinder engine.

I would like to say first and foremost, turbocharging a naturally aspirated vehicle is not as simple as buying a kit or engine and bolting it up and driving. There is a ...

In a previous article I covered the industry-standard process of forging aluminum for use in everything from aircrafts to pipelines. Forged materials are up to 15% stronger than their molded counterparts and the process results in a product virtually free of imperfections, which is ideal for cosmetic surface requirements. This same process can also be applied to other metals, namely brass.

Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, and is often used as a decoration due to its gold-like appearance. It is most notably used in the manufacturing of bathroom accessories such as faucets and pi ...

A turbocharger is a small radial fan pump driven by the energy of the exhaust gases of an engine. A turbocharger consists of a turbine and a compressor on a shared shaft. The turbine converts kinetic energy from the engine exhaust's velocity and potential energy from the exhaust's higher-than-atmospheric pressure into rotational kinetic energy, which is in turn used to drive the compressor. The compressor draws in ambient air and pumps it into the intake manifold at increased pressure, resulting in a greater mass of air entering the cylinders on e ...

Forging is one of the oldest known metalworking processes. It is the process for shaping metal by using compressive forces and increasing its strength by hammering or pressing processes. Forging parts can range in weight from less than a kilogram to 170 metric tons. Forged parts usually require further processing to achieve a finished component. Forging results in metals that are stronger than cast or machined metal parts. This is because during forging the metal's grain flow changes into the shape of the part, making it stronger. Many metals are forged cold, but iron and its alloys are gne ...

In the search for power reserves in a turbo loader, the turbine is not the only part optimised. The "cold side", the compressor, is also included in the  optimisation. Although compressor housings were simple castings until a couple of years ago, not least because aluminium was the material used, today, they have developed into more demanding parts, fulfilling far more than just the compression function.

Different channel geometries and combinations may be obtained close to production by direct mil ...

A turbine is a rotary engine that extracts energy from a fluid flow and converts it into useful work.

The simplest turbines have one moving part, a rotor assembly, which is a shaft or drum with blades attached. Moving fluid acts on the blades, or the blades react to the flow, so that they move and impart rotational energy to the rotor. Early turbine examples are windmills and water wheels.

Gas, steam, and water turbines usually have a casing around the blades that contains and cont ...

This is an air brake compressor housing for an over-the-road truck manufacturing application, a four-position hydraulic fixture. A lot of the challenge that this part gave us was that we have to run 15 different part numbers on this fixture. And the configurations of these parts, as you can see by looking at the ends, that there are two different configurations on this particular fixture; the motor adaptor housing, depending on who he was selling the part to, be it Brand A truck or Brand B truck, they a ...

Let's start with the similarities. Both turbochargers and superchargers are called forced induction systems. They compress the air flowing into the engine. The advantage of compressing the air is that it lets the engine stuff more air into a cylinder. More air means that more fuel can be stuffed in, too, so you get more power from each explosion in each cylinder. A turbo/supercharged engine produces more power overall t ...

A system is disclosed for use in assembling a plurality of rotatable elements in the assembly of a turbine engine. The system includes an initialization unit, a measurement unit, and a processing unit. The initialization unit is for entering initialization data into a database. The initialization data includes a first set of initialization data that is representative of characteristics of a first rotatable element, and a second set of initialization data that is representative of characteristics of a second ro ...
