  • ''exhaust gas in diverted to the turbocharger, witchcraft happens and then you go faster''

    -Jeremy Clarkson

  • because racecar

  • its-turbo

  • ...wow halfway through this video i realised i dont give a shit how they work just as long as i can fly

  • Some on here seem to think turbo charges use fuel, but they do not.

  • Comment removed

  • @kalijasin depending on the boost level, it actually increases it.

  • @COR3YlD How specifically does it increase it?

  • @kalijasin Turbochargers increase thermal efficiency by creating useful work out of wasted exhaust gases. Using the heat and force of the exhaust gases leaving the engine, the turbo sucks in air that otherwise is done simply by the piston moving down. Turbo's greatly improve volumetric efficiency. Also, turbo's allow for the use of smaller engines (with lesser frictional losses than large engines) that create equal power to larger engines.

  • @EngineeringExplained Thanks :-)

  • @kalijasin depends on how you drive. if your hard on your car, then you have terrible fuel economy. if you drive casually, then turbochargers actually increase your fuel economy.

  • 18 people still dont get the point of a turbocharger.

  • Comment removed

  • i think im going to have to change my pants

  • After turning off your car, you'll have to wait 2.3 min. because the oil need to coll off the turbo....

  • @Tiho2011 Actually, to be more specific, after a heavy run, for example motorway driving, BEFORE you switch the car off you need to let it idle for a few minuites to cool down the oil as it will damage the oil seals inside the turbo and may also harm the propellor

  • @tabanji thx for that information.....

  • If there is an obstruction, such as a banana or banana peel, remove for closer inspection.

  • "Listen carefully" whilst wearing ear protection.. -_-

  • 16 people are still inept

  • does high boost can increase oil pressure im not talking about rpm of the engine simply the boost?

  • @XxMusclecarsxX boost increases rpm, oil and oil pressure only changes with the rpm of the engine.

  • @1tirefryer so more boost and a better oil pump can increase rpm limit? ive been wondering that for the longest time now, I wanna get my 2002 camaro rev limit to 8500 or 9000( if thats even possible...Ive seen a v-8 get to 9000 before)

  • @redghost105 im not sure how to tune it, but if you want to increase rev you have to set the rev limiter higher.

  • @1tirefryer I mean safely increasing it, I could take the rev limiter off and it might get there...but it would explode

    I would imagin a very light cam shaft, strong heads and pins, bigger fuel injectors and better oil pump to safely get to 9,000

  • @redghost105 i dont have a camaro, but i drive a turbo 350z, in order to put my rev up, i had to put a engin management aka computer, your stock EMS wont let you bypass it. it cost around 1200 and i dont recomened it but if your into racing its worth it but its very hard on stock internal engin components. if you do have money, talked to someone in this field of work, if you do have a lot of dow, i would recommend maybe forged piston, rings, connecting rod, better head.

  • great, thank you =)

  • 1:37 is that the anti-lag system?

  • Newer superchargers are far more efficient than a 50 horsepower lag.... most are less than 1 hp

  • @xXxWildxChildxXx 1hp lag... Your getting a little carried away.

  • faaaaaaaaaaaaaack that shit is older than t-rex

  • i think the problem is your driving a cartoon truck

  • @blackbone88 Damn man, you're a mechanic! You've identified the problem Lol

  • HAHAHA "The Inefficient Supercharger is an Engine Parasite" LOL

  • more people should watch this so that they stop thinking nitrous is turbo

  • ok so if i have a problem with my turbo diesel, i just have to take out the engine first

  • 14 people like horsepower loss from superchargers

  • @RubMyLemons maybe they like the lagless power

  • so, you could put a vacuum cleaner motor in your intake, and it would be forced induction. DIY turbo :D

  • great video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    

  • I want a Turber charger!

  • stupid question but i'm a noob so um. from the animation it seem that the turbo has pipping from the itself to the engine then itself again. My question is where is the intake how does air enter the turbo.

  • @sdozie it enters the turbo from the front

  • @sdozie k, air comes from the front of the car, into the airbox, through the aircleaner, down the intake pipe, into the compressor wheel at the front of the turbo, pressurised by the wheel and housing and forced out the compressor outlet, and either straight to the throttle body or through an intercooler then the throttle body, after which it enters the intake manifold, then the inlet ports, gets mixed with fuel and er, combustion happens, to put it simply.

  • @sdozie it comes in from the other side

  • what does naturally aspirated mean?

  • @duckar naturally aspirated means that the engine does not use either turbo charging or supercharging to force feed air into the engine.

  • @duckar non turbo charged, the motor is reliant entirely on atmospheric pressure and the engines own vaccuum to draw air in, its not forced as it would be with a turbo.

  • yes that is correct....well said old boy..

  • i see what they mean about superchargers. but it depends on what car its for if you're gonna turbo or super it

  • its true that oxygen gets thinner as you climb higher up but how many people do you know that drag race at 15000 feet?

  • @reap62 yeah so how would a plane work???

  • @reap62 It's 15k feet ASL not AGL dumbass.

  • @sqhschief i never said agl? and i know?

  • @reap62 It's not talking about drag racing, it's talking about turbochargers. Yes there are roads that are higher than 15k feet ASL, and yes they have been used by trucks equipped with turbochargers for that specific reason of efficiency. Oh and normally you don't put a question mark at the end of a statement, dumbass.

  • @sqhschief you literally just started an argument over nothing i made a joke i know why turbochargers are used and it wasn't a statement i wasn't sure if i said it and didn't realize i said it hence the question mark, "dumbass."

  • @reap62 Oh it was a joke, haha that was really funny. Dumbass.

  • Now i know why my Typhoon goes like a bat outa hell !! LOL

  • Excellent video on turbochargers....!!

  • on a a diesel can the seals go out bad enough to make it run away

  • turbocharger intercooler in petorl engine jurkyard technologies.

  • @dragonfistSSJ4 The turbocharger intercooler in petorl engine junkyard technologies.

  • really great to watch this video...thanks for upload and detailed explanation!!!!

  • @aniket8747 TURBOCHARGER IS ENGINE.

    TURBOCHAGER THE REBEL OF HOMEMADE BY MECHANICAL WITH PETORL ENGINES.

  • @dragonfistSSJ4 AIRCOMPRESSER SUCH AS SUPERCHARGER

    TURBOCHAGER SPARK COMMONRAIL DIESEIL ENGNIE, TURBOCHAGER TYPE ENGINE FOR AIR CALF 1815.

    SOMEONE PUT IN PETORL ENGINE. SURE WITHOUT KNOWHOW. USE FOR JUNKYARD.

  • @dragonfistSSJ4 TURBOCHAGER 100-100000 HP WITH REAR HP IS 40-200 hp in 100-10000,TURBINE OR SUPERCHAGER TYPE WHEEL 100 TO OVER 10000 hp WITH MAX HP.

  • Turbo's made crystal clear, thanks for this.

  • how does a high altitude flying plane compensate for the drop in oxygen at such altitudes?...is a jet engine itself strong enough to make up for the loss in oxygen? wont the engine suffer at this altiitude causing it o slow down?

  • @kuha5ster that's easy..

    less oxygen makes the turbofan engine recalibrate the fuel flow to get the best mixture and still have loads of power, an aircraft @ 30,000 to 40,000ft uses a 78 to 88% of it's power/throttle to keep it's cruising speed. It won't have the same performance as being on sea level, but it can keep or accelerate from low speeds above 30,000 ft from Mach 0.70 to 0.85 like 700 to 910 km/h (passenger aircraft)

  • @AF401 thanks...r u in the avation industry?

  • supercharger technology is way better these days (as is turbocharger) but now supers only use about as much horsepower as an alternator to power

  • @GHICAGO71 also the 350z is a 3.5L engine and is also naturaly aspirated but produces more hp.. almost 50 more.. and no im not saying the 350z is a great car.. its not at all. but that puts your eclipse into perspective

  • @GHICAGO71 eeeew eclipse.. 3.8L v6 and only 260BHP... thats barely 68Hp per liter.. thats a laugh, AND its front wheel drive and 6.5 seconds to 60 from 260BHP? haha that power to weight ratio is the same on a 350z , 350z are super heavy cars, but at least their RWD. you wasted your money.

  • this is for diesels

  • @kyleisreallycool its for any internal combustion engine durh da durrrr

  • "turbacharja"

  • It really depends man, I highly recommend going to internet forums for the car you own and see waht other people have done

  • lemme guess, u drive a Grand Prix GT lol

  • Comment removed

  • Starting with a 3.8 V6 - you could seriously make a car that will hurt you :D If you're ok with fabricating a manifold and general mechanical stuff, then all you need todo is sort out the fueling and you're away.

    Either try and get your currect ECU remapped on a dyno, or get a piggyback chip, or if you want full control and get it perfect - get a custom ECU/EMS!

  • Assuming you have the money or knowledge and tools you can turbocharge just about anything.

    A 3.8L V6 would be a pretty mental engine to turbo charge - But its hard to estimate how much power you will gain. If you upgrade the internals to forged parts that can take a beating, the power increase will be limitless (will kinda :P) - A simple turbo install running @ about 0.6bar would get you a nice kick :)

  • wasnt that wierd turbo charger called the root blower mostly used for two stroke diesels but now of course they got turbo chargers

  • I have a quad turbo system running in my wrx sti, i have one connected to each individual head exhaust that i welded myself but for some reason the exhaust is leaving through my air conditioning system. Any ideas?

  • huh? umm well lets see exhaust not conected mabey? wait what 4 turbos.....well ummmmm.....why not

  • informative!

  • ohhhhhhhhhh yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • ummmm yaaaaaaa

  • Wow, that guy really loves spinnin' that turbine. :P

  • @NaomiChanX i just happened to pause the video to google what a wastegate was when he was spinnin' the turbine and read this, i lol'd.

  • @NaomiChanX Have to agree ... but he also needs to trim his finger nails ...

  • @NaomiChanX I like to do that same motion to a nipple

  • that explains why it's harder to dreath when i try to reach the cockiejar on the TOP shelf :P

  • This video rocks and it's so easy to follow.

  • ultimate way of explaining the turbocharger...its working and construction....

  • ok correct me if im wrong. the turbo gets spinned from exhaust gases. the spinning of the turbine spins the other turbine thru a crank. so where does the exhaust that went into the turbo go? into the engine again?

  • @aznbenle21

    No out the back of the car. Remember. Instead of an exhaust manifold like an n/a car there is a turbo manifold with the turbo on top of it.

    It's almost as if the turbo is an extension of your exhaust pipe and your air intake at the same time. One side is for compressing the intake air and the other uses exhaust gases to spin the intake to suck in air faster and also hoot exhaust gases out of the exhaust pipe faster.

    Like adding steriods to your intake and exhaust systems.

  • @CCAAASSSCCAAAA i looked through 7 pages trying to find this answer because i knew it would be somehwere :P

  • thats where an air filter comes in dude

  • Epic WORK, BBC quality for sure

  • a turbocharger doesnt afeccts engine life?

  • not if it is used in a reasonable fasion

  • @takle84 depends on compression and amount of boost. if you were to put a turbo on a motor not set up for a turbo it would definantly effect engine life.

  • wouldn't that be the reason for incorporating an adjustable bleed off valve to restrict the air pressure to a safe level?

  • thanks dear for this vid

  • Great Vid.

    Very details information

  • They also make twin charge kits. Supercharger cuts out mid rpm and turbo takes over. As for the gas-mileage. If you turbo a naturally aspirated motor you will get less gas mileage. BUT they can make smaller engines with more power. that's the real benefit.

  • haha, check for restrictions on the 6 inch I.D. pipes....YEAH.

  • @gmtech26358

    Bah haha ha. I was thinking the same thing. That thing is MASSIVE!

  • двигатель внутреннего сгорания отжил себя. это тупиковая ветвь автомобилестроения. залей в него плохую горючку и ему трындец!

    турбина не лучче начнет пропускать масло и сгорит - нада двигатели другого типа сторить например "Стирлига" или хотябы роторный

  • Turbocharger > Supercharger

  • @monsterenergy0102 I guess you should go tell that to the guys with the fastest cars in the world A.K.A. Blown fuels, let me know how many times you get beat for saying that.

  • @monsterenergy0102 Yes don't even know why people still use superchargers anymore.

  • @monsterenergy0102

    In short, yes

  • @monsterenergy0102 i guess in terms of efficiency 

  • Lmao, I was watch prety much the whole video withour sound.... lol, I thought there was no sound.

  • So... all a Turbo does is just inject more air into the mixture?

  • it compresses air, effectively allowing more air into the mix

  • What about gas milage? Better or Worse?

  • much better if youre driving normal.

  • I am not a mechanic, so this may sound like a silly question, but if a turbo forces air into the intake - would this not weaken the air/fuel mixture? Modern fuel injection may automatically compensate for this but how would it affect a carburettor engine?

  • well i think when theres some compressed air over the fuel explosion, the explosion will go more down againt the cylender.. really i dont know xD  just a tought

  • Thanks.

    1100cc Scooter...........(*-*)

  • there's usually a screw type mechanism that increases the flow rate of the gas from the carb.

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

  • @ERIK5564

    Neither really. Turbos are more powerful at high rpms, superchargers at low revs. Imo Turbos are better tho, much more efficient

  • true supercharger is cheaper then high end turbo, also give good HP boost. The downside about SC is that it stress the engine sences its pully on the belt. More stress on engine less life it lives.

  • ive always wanted to know how turbos work thx for posting this

  • sir can anyone answer my question and send me a message... sir is CT-9 turbo for toyota 4afte is slight loose? i mean is if you move the turbo shaft sideways i moves a little some say it is clearance is it true?

  • slight shaft play on most newer [90's] Toyota Turbos is very normal. There is a tolerance you can get from Toyota so that you can measure the shaft play and decide whether or not it needs to be rebuilt

  • He said something that i believe is wrong:

    Turbocharger doesn't take power from the engine

    Turbocharger does take power from the engine while the piston goes up and pushes the exhaust gas to drive the turbine that is linked to the compressor.

    In other words the air resistance on the compressor is felt by the turbine then by the exhaust piston

    I think the turbocharger is only using the surplus of enthalpy from the high temperature exhaust. It is like converting the heat into work

  • Turbo's don't take as much power as you think... as you accelerate any unburnt fuel and gases will then be pushed back into the cylinder to be burnt properly until the turbo spins up on higher revs. because as you said, the exhaust drives the turbine, so there will be back pressure when the turbo isn't on high speed

  • i learn so much from this video .. i want to put one on my car now =D i feel cool now i love this shit

  • In Europe they don't bult superchargers on cars. But I think a supercharged engine would produce more torque becos its connected directly on the engine. The turbocharger need exhoast gas to power it up. So the power of the turbocharger will not be directly available. Variable turbo helps that a bit but even so the turbocharger is more directly

  • yea they do? Vw fx have G40, G60 and TFSI engines, and then a lot of people fits aftermarked superchargers..

  • Thx for posting this. They somewhat victimize superchargers in this vid, but in all reality, modern superchargers can also be quite efficient as well.

  • imagine fighterplane turbochargers they had used in the world war. since the higher altitude has low oxygen, i guess they'd need huge turbos haha.

  • I may be wrong, but I think I see a couple of phonies on this thread. If you are going to attempt to correct someone you might want to make sure your grammar is somewhat correct. At least that way they can understand you when you try to school them. I'm sorry for nagging, but it gets on my nerves when people try to act smart and talk (or type) dumb. Otherwise that was a good clip. It needs an update on the animations though. Haha

  • -_- What the fuck, That made no sense

  • i take this video and good knowledge only thank you.

  • Yay I live in Florida, yay! Therefore more oxygen! Now I just need a working car, and a turbo.......

  • im learning this cuz im makeing a like turbo for a gokart and stuff

  • rokaa cariiii .. jaja traballa traballa tassstimuu

  • Someone talking sense on one of these how things work videos, finally!!!!!

  • holset makes the turbos that go on the cummins right.

  • Someone explain why i cant supercharge a twin turbo engine...

  • of course you can!

  • you could but you might loose power or not be able to start the engine because an engine can only breathe so much thats why engines dont have like 10 valves per cylinder.

  • Go with a small t3/t4 with a supercharger and you wont be disappointed. you have the supercharger there for low end torque start, then as you get to about 3k/4k the turbo and supercharger work together, and if you tune it right, it can be very powerful, but terrible for gas mileage.

  • ok boosting a supercharger with a turbo if you really think about it the supercharger will only boost what it is capable of and pushing boost through it would not work the padddles inside would slow the boost and probably build up and blow a housing know im not gonna gonna say you cant boost a turbo but why twins or a reasonable single would do the job

  • I already have the design laid out in my head, I just don't want to explain it on the interwebz, lol. It is very possible though, it just takes some keen engineering. Most don't do it because its too much work, but if you have the money time and smarts to build it, it will work, and epically at that.

  • you can

  • You can but it would take up tons of space and you will blow your engine. Just leave the twin turbos on you will get more horsepower than a supercharger anyway and faster acceleration. Thats just one reason.

  • Turbos have lag, superchargers don't. The hybrid in theory could eliminate the spool...or you could just use nitrous like most...

  • twin turbos have almost no lag on the other hand. superchargers don't but if your running your supercharger on non highway type areas then you will lower your gas mileage. most engines weren't built to handle super fast accelleration all of the sudden for that matter and lots of people don't know when to inject it therefore blowing a valve or something of the like.

  • Sequential turbo works more efficiently eliminate lag, twin turbos are the same turbo X 2. I understand they would spool at the same rate and produce 2 X as much power; however, with the MR2 turbo they used sequential turbos and it did well.

  • Yessir and with a twin turbo (parallel) you usually put a bit smaller turbos on and with the right tuning you will get perhaps 30psi boost or more and spool start at about 2500 rpm some cases even better. Therefore for twin turbo would outperform most supercharged/nitrous/single turbo/sequential turbo setups but weight and balance is also an issue to keep in mind (manifolds/tubes/large turbos, etc.)

  • MR2 was only Turbocharged in the MKII MR2 where it used the same CT-26 [older models] and CT-20b [Newer models] turbochargers that are found in the Celica like mine.

    They were always twin ENTRY but never twin or sequential Turbo.

    If you want an explanation of what twin entry is I'd be happy to help you out with that.

  • im lookign for a turbo charge for my 1969 camaro and it has a 396 big block engine...how would i beable to find out what turbo i should get for it?

  • google " (Your engine here) turbocharger kit"

  • There are so many possible variables in that question, it would be impossible to properly recommend a turbine size without far more information.

  • it would take alot of work and money nd time. u can compund charge 1 turbo nd 1 supercharger

    nd it would be next to useless cus ur compressing the air a certain amount, then trying to compress already compressed air- which wouldnt really do much, if u think about it- a supercharging spinning as fast as the turbo is spooling, the supercharger would just slow down the air, and provide intake stuggles/restrictions-it would be as if if air filter is clogged- it makes it harder for air to get in

  • finally! This is exactly what I always wanted to know. Now I understand!

    Thank you very much!

  • ther only good for mountain sleds

  • This is the best explination i've see about how turbochargers work.

    5 Stars!

  • turbocharger also have weakness lol .turbo lag... good video though

  • thats why they make twins on small one big small one spools quick

  • this is sick!

  • Great video :D

    Thanks a lot !

  • Yes! I get it! 5*+favorite, thank you!

  • thank god.... Finally a video that teaches morons a turbo actually works. I hate when people start talking like they know alot about cars, when really they have no idea on how a car even works

  • amen =]

  • this is good, but the basterds protected it with DRM!
