how the turbo work

[GCMaxProductions]

My initial thought was it puts more oxygen into the combustion chamber but I wanted to know the working of a turbo however this is too laymans for me, more physics please!

[tgkg]

BOOST!

[drawl25]

how the english work

[exinco]

what is a different with turbo charge and super charge?

[fruitbooting132]

@exinco turbo is powerd by exhaust and superchargers are driving from a belt connected to the motor. simple explanation

[Jezthevalley]

well the rule of thumb is, you don't put a freakin turbo in your car if you want better gas milage. You put turbo if you want more power. thats it

if you want a better milage, go for a hybrid

[fenix144]

@Jezthevalley I guess that's why chevrolet has a 1.4L turbo engine in the cruise.

[free14402]

bu işler para ile olur para var ise herşey mümkün

[dannyboy485]

this video is very misleading,he doesnt know his asshole from his elbow.Sales-people..... enough said.

A turbo increases volumeteric Efficiency only when on load ie boosting.

Id really like him to explain how a turbo increases gas mileage when off boost when it doesnt do anything except act as a very small restriction.

[dwnrety1]

my turbo works by helping burn up insane amounts of gas and destroying my mpg...

[Tj1056]

@dwnrety1 learn how to tune then... boosting = engine chugging fuel... and that is because more air forced in the more fuel needed... no boosting with a turbo and that = engine works easier and saves more fuel...

[dwnrety1]

@Tj1056 its the stock tune.. i meant that boost too fun to stay out of it...

[Tj1056]

@dwnrety1 when you drive a boosted car long enough you tend to cruise a lot...

[dwnrety1]

@Tj1056 yeah. im saving alot of gas now though..  BHG.. damn 7m's.. im working on getting it going again though.

[Turner9090]

I wish it was just that easy to install and didn't cost 2-3,000 plus dyno time and tuning I'm looking to get a subie if I could just slap a turbo on my TC I'd just keep it

[pdavid24]

Lol who gives a fuck if he said it atomizes the air, at least he knows how to install it. Point is you guys focus on that 1 sentence, whereas the rest of the video is accurate and informative.

[TheAngryoldfart]

Atomizing the air? What a fucking retard.

[oaziul1]

Eu não entendi o quele falou.

[ninjavariation]

yeah... 'atomizing' the air. wonder how that works.. LMAO!

[curtknows101]

ITS NOT A MOTOR U JACKRAGG< ITS AN ENGINE!!!!

[Redcroc87]

this video is a total joke :D I literally laughed my ass off watching this video :D That nigga has no clue what he is talking about...

[badasspr0ductions]

I gotta remember not to go to their shop, LOL

[SIG551P]

Atomizing air? This guy has no education in fluid dynamics.

[monkey8113]

@SIG551P He's a mechanic for god sake=.=

[montey1017]

superchargers...torque FTW

{waits for trolls}

[slipsonic]

1:15 its not a manifold buddy thats called a header, there is a difference, and air doesnt atomize...... fuel does lol

[breetstreet]

@slipsonic actually a header can also be called an exhaust manifold so there isnt a difference.. just depends on what type of car your talking about lol

[AceCampano]

their both the same thing..

[MrPhilodoxical]

@AceCampano *They're

[stuna101a]

I think this guys from M.I.T,

[driftingdonuts]

What is the difference between a Blow Off Valve and a Waste Gate? Or are they the same?

[84benfiquista]

wow dude you are smart.you should go to harvard

[baviaanshit]

can you upgrade a 2.0 diesel with a bigger turbo?

[jayguy173]

@baviaanshit any turbo engine can run a bigger turbo but lag increases with comp wheel size

[moekakke]

Comprimizing ???

[sbghms]

HERP DERP HOW THE TURBO WORK

[wgshooter]

this guy is an idiot

[FlUdDeStRoYeR94]

What if I want to turbo charge my 05 Mazda 6i?

[aLdErTz]

hey, if you have a turbocharger running on your engine connected with the intercooler, does the engine still needs the radiator to cool it down ??

[jims72]

@aLdErTz yes you still need the radiator.the intercooler just cools the air going into the intake.

[Naturalhit]

@aLdErTz Radiator is to cool the engine. Intercooler is for the turbo. It cools the air before it enters the engine. Turbo is hot-intercooler is a must.

[watchthisrobotmove]

@Naturalhit turbo is hot but intercoolers dont really have to be used..it all depends on the application on which you are using the turbo.. i had a dodge cummings turbo diesel on my 89 nissan 240sx hatchback and i havent ran intercooler for 3 months.. i started running it after i figured i can drift and race the car.. another car that comes stock with turbo and no intercooler are the old pontiac grand am turbos.. they do not run intercoolers with their applications

[azuritet3]

did you see that new GMO jeep. i can't believe they are trying to play god by using genetics to design cars. they probably cause cancer and AIDS. i don't want to own an abomination. join me brethren and we shall fight the oncoming car-zombie apocalypse. THE END IS NIGH!

[jims72]

@azuritet3 it all started with the Prius!

[Macmizan]

Air Compressor is also known as Impeller.. take that...

[rocker4u123]

Turbo's WILL not give you added gas mileage unless you tune your vehicle to sip fuel which defeats the point of adding a turbo (power). Cars 101 more air=more fuel. there is no way around that unless you want a lean mixture(bad). Anytime you increase air you WILL increase fuel consumption. Proper air mix is 14.7:1. You can increase power & mpg by promoting better atomization but without adding much air. If they could Do both manufacturers would plain and simple.

[RHDMKIII]

28vec, your right about lower compression on oe turbo cars, but they size the turbo to where the power is linear and does a great job at it. When you add a turbo to an na motor it makes for good fuel economy and power because the compression is up and there is less lag. All great comments here!!

[RHDMKIII]

Envie213

Check out my site and email me and I'll help you with that h22. I know what's wrong.

And as for the compression deal, you have better mpg with more compression because you don't need as much throttle. Compression is power, and these days with tuning cars run 10:1 and more straight out the box. Makes for crisp throttle and more power. Turbo at low speeds makes for a better air fuel mixture/burn. We have proven this. Just like if you add a hypertech and don't goose the throttle anymore

[28VEK]

Just one point to make. At low speed turbo does not provide for better mileage. Initially turbocharged engines have to run on low compression. Low compression mean terrible gas mileage. Compression ration within the cylinder does go up as turbo start to spin, at that point you are adding extra fuel to keep up with the turbo. So turbo engines are never good for gas mileage.

[4llifemetal]

@ENVIE213 because you add turbo = more air in motor but you dont add fuel !!

[4llifemetal]

@ENVIE213 Twin pump gas and new injector with a good tuned!! Good recipe

[ENVIE213]

I LIKED UR EXPLANATION BUT I HAVE A PROBLEM I HAVE A 98 HONDA ACCORD AND JUST DROPPED A 92 HONDA PRELUDE H22AAND ADDED A TURBO KIT IN NOW THE CAR RUNS GOOD ON NORMAL SPEED BUT WHEN I GAS IT WERE THE TURBO KICKS IN IT CHOKES ON ME WHAT DO U SUGGEST PLSE HELP OUT.

[RHDMKIII]

4G63 = moron, dumbass!!

I mean it separates the air molecules allowing the combustion to burn more efficiently. Everyone can say what they want, but we test this shit daily both in real world and on dynos. Even after the throttle plate the air is swirling due to the turbo forcing air in, doesn't mean it's making boost all the time. Sorry if I used the wrong wording.

[RHDMKIII]

4g63 = moron, dumbass!!

[4G63PWR]

Atomizing the air?

LOOOL moron.

[towhook]

You can't atomize air you can only compress it. A turbo increases volumetric efficiency in an engine. In plain English, it forces more air into the cylinder than what the cylinder is capable of sucking in on it's own. The fuel injector is what does the atomizing. It atomizes the liquid fuel (turning it into a mist or spray) greatly increasing it's surface area enabling it to burn very rapidly.

[H1tman47]

Hey Sam! You cant atomize air really, I've masters degree in physics and I'm really ito engines so I'm absolutely positive on this. Besides, following to your logic, atmo engines are wasting 30% of fuel right? It'd be rally funny seeing those cars passing emission tests :)The truth is that even on carburated engines, 97-98% of gas is getting burnt, theres simply no more room for improvement, all of gas simply evaporates on compression stroke because the air gets hot when it's being compressed :)

[H1tman47]

Where da hell do you guys read that information? try atleast wiki as a start. Throttle plates before turbo?id bet a lot of money with you on that. No difference in diesels. yeahh :)) they dont even have throttle plates :D But you are absolutely right about same POWER turbo engine being more effectuve than atmo one. But thats only beacuse same POWER turbo is of LESS DISPLACEMENT than atmo engine, and under light load your mpg will be better but just because your effectively running smaller engine

[RHDMKIII]

Hello, I'm Sam M. I have been reading comments and need to correct a few things. As far as what it takes to make power. The more fuel you can burn in a engine, the more power you will make. However, you have to have the air to burn the fuel, so that's why your limited to how much fuel you can burn as to how much power you can make. Air can be atomized when swirled around by lets say, a turbo. Seperates the molecules allowing for a more complete burn, like a fuel injector. H1man47 great job!!

[jdmbayarea]

He's from pinks all out.

[hardboiled89]

The more you know!

***star with rainbow trail shoots by***

[jspagzzz323]

damn prius commercial 

[gaffney92]

turbos run @ 40,000 rpm up 250,000 rpm

[H1tman47]

Turbo atomizing air. Now I've heard everything

[specops3866]

@H1tman47 how can you turn air into a finer form? I think it's impossible to atomize air particles.

[michaelovitch]

@specops3866

not the air but the air/gas mixture in the combustion chamber.

[specops3866]

@michaelovitch yeah that sounds possible... not the air particles.

[michaelovitch]

@H1tman47

not the air but the air/gas mixture in the combustion chamber.

the point is to do like the fuel injector :to atomize, to vaporize.

the turbo will help doing the same to the mixture because it create enormous turbulences in the combustion chamber allowing a better mix air/gas.

to atomize is create more smaller particles and that's what the turbo do to your mixture.

[H1tman47]

@michaelovitch

that explanation also pretty much sucks, turbo compresses only air, not air and fuel mixture, and all of that turbulence is discarded by the throttle plate, which in this case is open only by small amount. I guarantee that there is no way that turbo on an engine would get any mpg advantage over normally aspirated engine of the same displacement. that is a fact actually. It's absolutely different from when they say that turbo diesels are more economical, can explain that also ;)

[michaelovitch]

@H1tman47

I never sais it compressed the two but the turbulences in the compression chamber help to atomize the fuel way better.

moreover the throttle plate is before the turbo so, in this case, that you wrote is not exact.

it's not different from a diesel.

in all cases turbo help to have better efficiency.

the problem is more air means more fuel whatever it is gas or diesel fuel.

more your squeese the pedal less your mileage is high diesel or gas.



[michaelovitch]

at same power turbo engines will always have better efficiency.

a turbo is not only made to have more power.

it's made to have a better quality of combustion too.

the trick is to adapt the size of the turbo to the use and prority : high pic power or torque or efficiency.

that's why variable geometry turbo

they allow more possibilities .

[TrickyNekro]

@H1tman47

He probably means that turbos create turbulence that leads to mixing the fuel better... Still turbulence at the wrong part of the intake system could cause power loss through air drag...

But really now... does this guy looks like he has any science degree? Nop... he just makes howstuffworks credibility lower... Not that I was of high regard to them anyways...

[tenk4444]

@H1tman47 yeah, lol

[ericmck2000]

@H1tman47 look at the poster on the back wall...... He also belives that putting nos stickers on the car is worth 20hp while a carbon fiber wing is worth another 50hp.

[gicrazyeye]

@ericmck2000 LOL yes. somebody finally said it.

[bladecatcherX99]

@H1tman47 yup, its an actual term accociated with forced induction, just cause something doesnt make sense to you doesnt mean its crazy, try the book "maximum boost" by Corky Bell

[orafargolo]

I believe the hot gases, from the emission, heat the new air throught the serpentin. The very hot air and more compression supplied by turbo increase the combustion, like happen on several industrial processes.

I just didn't get how the clean air flowing is regulated to the inside of the motor. Is there any device that controls that?

[stoogeaRS4]

@orafargolo as simply as I can put it: the wastegate controls how fast the exhaust impeller spins, and as the intake impeller is on a direct drive ratio to this exhaust impeller (1:1) it therefore controls the flow/psi of the air on the intake side as well. (I refer to this problem as spiking and a wastegate, in my opinion, controls spiking) also the hot air created by heat transfer from exhaust to intake housing is not a positive in terms of performance, hence intercoolers to lower temperature

[Torcika]

when it's not producing boost?when's that?under 1000 revs?

[xXxchipperchopperxXx]

@Torcika he means high boost assjack

[Torcika]

@xXxchipperchopperxXx Thank you very much dickhead



[xXxchipperchopperxXx]

@Torcika your very much welcome cum dumpster

[calvinblinkee]

@Torcika It could depend on the type of turbo I think. But it is way above 1000 rpm

[del787b]

awsome Explanation man , looks like you guys do good work 

[niz55]

Iranians are very smart people.

[jimjefferson125]

Alsome brilliant video!! Thanks

[electricshockproof]

Atomizing the air?

[JohnsonGetDown]

@electricshockproof

yeah...I noticed that too..makes no sense at all. It compresses air, increasing the compression ratio and adding more air to the mixture ( I think)

[qasdr85elcamino]

haha he said 4 cylinder.

[wlsktr]

this dude needs to be a teacher

[dinosoarskill17]

Da, Ek, Crx, S2k.. so many awesome cars!

[dinosoarskill17]

Da, Ek, Crx, S2k.. so many awesome cars!

[kryptikkk777]

now i know :D

[red666A]

I wouldn't run a stock motor on turbo.... Boomm

[moonerdizzle]

@red666A most stock motors can run a turbo, but with moderate boost, and a bit of increased fuel.

[flinchey]

@moonerdizzle fairly low boost yeah, don't wanna throw a piston. or bend one. or blow the head.

[iroc464]

this guys explanation actually sucks. Atomizing the air?? you mean fuel? he says the only limit to power is fuel delivery and durability of hardware?? I guess this is a good beginnners guide...

[SICKSxNINE]

@iroc464 It's a good general explanation of a turbo, don't be a dick.

[iroc464]

atomizing the air? he means fuel...

[nandiito]

So who's right, the name on the video (TURBO) or the guy talking (SUPERCHARGER)??

[exotorzz]

@nandiito basically both do the same job i.e. forced induction

[RedlightExpressMovie]

wow you made a mistake in the name of the video

[standard235]

I like his explanation. It's not more efficient because it "atomizes" air. Air doesn't get atomized. Fuel does, which has more to do with how much fuel pressure you are running, injector spray pattern, and injector placement. It has less energy wasted. Exhaust that would normally just be expelled through the exhaust is used to push air into the motor.

Boost is addicting for sure. I love it.

[Totenhosen17]

I see a supra at 1:20

[RHDMKIII]

The only time you have to modify the motor itself is if you exceed the limit of boost you can add to any motor. Most all motors can handle 6-8 psi boost with no mods. You will have to program the ecu, and modify the fuel system.

[bensaintss]

do i have to modify my engine in order to install a turbo?

[JJMetalMad999]

@bensaintss Depends on the engine. but in general yeah, you would have to modify it in certain ways.

[chris12123212]

Basically an air compressor that compresses air.....

[Dorisequador]

Very Nice Video thank you now I Understand why it's very expensive to put a Turbo on my  BMW.

[alexjalaff]

@Dorisequador It mostly the face that not many people purchase turbos for BMW's, supply and demand; demand is low, supply is low, cost goes up. While Civic and similar cars, demand is high, supply is high, lower price. Accompanied, with the fact that tuning BMW's ECUs is very difficult, and no well known.

[Dorisequador]

@alexjalaff True but I still want one for my BMW to make it kick ass ...hehe

[meatdept]

this guy knows his stuff, very good explanation and breakdown =]]

[mbrummal]

@meatdept That guy doesn't know his stuff. The turbo atomizes the air????

The only limitation to power is how much fuel? Wrong. How much air you can get into the engine is the correct answer. Fuel is secondary to air. The more air you have the more fuel you can burn, not the other way around.

[joqute]

@mbrummal more aire is not more power... more fuel does... and that is why its installed the turbo... compress more aire, so more fuel is burned...

[joqute]

@mbrummal more aire is not more power... more fuel does... and that is why its installed the turbo... compress more aire, so more fuel is burned...

[mbrummal]

@joqute What? do you know how engines work? you can dump gallons of fuel into a car engine in a minute or two but it isn't going to make much power if it doesn't have the air it needs to burn the fuel. Therefore air is the limiting factor. Like I said, fuel is important but its still secondary to air.

[LIP15]

@mbrummal

IT's true, this guy clearly aint got a clue. The fuel and air mixture atomize in the intake plenum/manifold, and techanically inlet ports too.

Stand off throttle bodies also atomize the fuel with the air better.

[shadowhunter45s]

@mbrummal They go hand in hand, You need more fuel to make power, But you need the correct amount of air to burn the Gas

[mbrummal]

@shadowhunter45s Yes, they go hand in hand but air is the limiting factor. You need the correct amount of fuel to burn in the available air. All modern gasoline engine control systems only react to the amount of air entering the engine, which is controlled by the throttle body, to keep a constant air/fuel mixture.

[playstationpro13]

@meatdept he is so spanish

[DJRUBEN08]

@playstationpro13 he's actually most likely iranian

[Soundgarden8497]

@meatdept this is a shit explaination

[rocker4u123]

@Soundgarden8497 nice band but i hope people don't watch this and get the notion that they can add a turbo and get 100 HP and some extra fuel mileage.

[Soundgarden8497]

@rocker4u123 possible if the motor is big enough

[rocker4u123]

@Soundgarden8497 do you even know what your talking about. bigger engines allow for higher horsepower (more fuel/air burning) but that decreases fuel economy. Turbo's simply take spent exhaust gases and use them to spin a shaft which spins a turbine which acts as a compressor. if you bolt a turbo on a car w/o changing your fuel management you will blow up your engine. You HAVE to increase fuel to compensate for the boost

[Soundgarden8497]

@rocker4u123 you stupid arsehole... just understand that not every turbo vehicle is a fucking rice burner, they can gain efficiency with a turbo, but it also depends on how good the fuel injection system is. now fuck off

[rocker4u123]

@Soundgarden8497 I never said that dipshit. I'm putting a T3/T4 garret turbo on my truck and its far from a rice burner. YOU CANNOT GAIN FUEL EFFICIENTCY WITH A TURBO UNLESS YOUR ECM/PCM IS TUNED TO DO SO AND THEN HAVING A TURBO IS ALMOST POINTLESS. Turbo's aren't magic moron; all they do is pump more air into your engine. MORE AIR=MORE FUEL. If you disregard this rule you will be rebuilding your engine very quickly As well as having shitty power. Need for speed doesn't make you a car expert.

[Soundgarden8497]

@rocker4u123 excuse me dickface but you overlooked the fact that ENERGY in the form of exhaust gas is being used by the turbo to produce extra air for the intake thus increasing efficiency. go bend over the table while watching another repeat of brokeback you cocksucking paedophile bitch titted cunty fag.

[rocker4u123]

@Soundgarden8497 :facepalm:. you obviously know nothing about cars. I'm not going to argue with an idiot. I'm not saying its robbing the engine of power like a supercharger. What you said makes zero sense for fuel economy. MORE AIR=MORE FUEL.

[Soundgarden8497]

@rocker4u123 you think you know everything about cars but you know nothing about physics. facepalm yourself dickface, go headbutt the mirror 20 times as hard as you can.

[rocker4u123]

@Soundgarden8497 jesus christ you really are retarded. I do know physics and cars, and both say you cannot increase air without increasing fuel you retard. Why are you arguing this you dumb fuck. Its common sense. You cannot increase air without increasing fuel in any significant amount. If you slapp a turbo on without increasing fuel have fun rebuilding your engine. It causes pre-detonation moron. If you could slap one one and get better mpg the manufacturer would do so.

[Soundgarden8497]

@rocker4u123 ever heard of compression?  DICKFACE

[rocker4u123]

@Soundgarden8497 jesus christ you must be 12 and brain damaged. enough with this shit

[Soundgarden8497]

@rocker4u123 yeah but i still enjoyed raping your mum

[rocker4u123]

@Soundgarden8497 yeah my moms dead you sick fuck. I don't find necrophelia cool

[Soundgarden8497]

@rocker4u123 i do

@rocker4u123 maybe he was fucking her dead body

[hexarage]

@rocker4u123 how was he supose to know your mom was dead?

[rocker4u123]

@hexarage it's a joke

[scrokostas]

@rocker4u123 sory for ur mum man...

[tienshenhan86]

@rocker4u123 i had a sicko once tell me It's not necro it the're still warm. D:

[sl0wm03]

@rocker4u123 He's just pissed because there's an imprint of the vein on the bottom half of my shaft goin across his face. it's why he says dickface and mum.

and ofcourse the fuel to air ratio would need to be increased when adding a turbo. He's a dumbass, he got hit too hard, it was like a giant cock baseball bat.

[rocker4u123]

@sl0wm03 LMFAO. Thats a good one

[StephenNorman]

@sl0wm03 lol, you know it's still gay if you're the one slapping a dude with your cock right?

[sl0wm03]

@StephenNorman haha, that's not gay. the one with the dick on his face is gay. dude with my main vain going from his left cheek by his ear, then goes up across is forehead then to his other cheek... an then down to his chin, is pretty gay. The head busted em right in the adams apple and he started to choke like a fat hooker on the 4th of july, he even got two black eyes and a swollen nose

[xxxxdarksidexxxx]

@meatdept except proper english in the title lol

[RIPPERTON]

34 sec. Off boost. you cant atomize air.

This wont happen in an injected engine, only a draw through carb engine and then the air fuel mix might be better atomized. Carbs dont exist any more.

[bigdaddylovestori]

dude if the compressor wheel is spinning its atomizing

[cmax1966]

@RIPPERTON

Carbs dont exist any more***********

I disagree, i just put the finishing touches on a carb motor that should make approx. 675 hp. i will dyno it after proper break-in. cards do make very good non-boosted power.

[clicktosaad]

Awesum xplaination bro,,,

I'm the guy in the video, and I wanted to say these comments are awsome. I haven't heard dick face in a while. lol. Keep up the debates and Merry Christmas.

[LSXgoat]

supercharger=bottom end turbo=topend

[ERIK5564]

So what do you think is more powerful a turbocharger of a supercharger send me your opinions.

[gaspower70]

@ERIK5564 supercharger

[SuPrAmAd101]

do you understand the difference? Turbo is top end performance and supercharger is bottom end.

Super charger is belt driven, so there is no lag with supercharger as it kicks in soon as the belt turns.

[EXTREME4YEARSTOCOME]

holset turbo is the best

I think you can't READ. I asked how it work. not what the turbo for. Lol. Learn.

[hitmangui2]

thank you for the tip.

[hitmangui2]

if my car is allready turbo, but want more. HP. what can i do.

[KixmixaGTR]

Get a bigger one, duhh.

[light351]

Bigger turbo,or do a cut out on your exhaust so you can spinn it quicker

[Smuczerproductions]

go to the airport, jack a plane take of the turbine engine and hook it up to your car, or hook up 50,000 fireworks to it.

[56nelson]

upgrade your ecu.

you'll get more boost out of it

[DurtyTurBen]

Put a bigger turbo in, and install an intercoooler.
