Wouldnt putting a turbine cause an 'obstruction' since it's powered by friction from escaping gases. Would the pistons slow as they return to he top of the cyclinder as the pressure would be greater in the cylinders?

[@802Garage]

It does create a restriction, but this is how any turbine works. It restricts flow to some degree to turn linear flow into radial motion. It doesn't create nearly enough pressure in the exhaust path to slow the pistons moving up significantly. Part of this is of course the turbine shaft riding on a very low friction bearing of some type. Think of it like blowing through a straw or blowing through a straw that has a tiny fan in it. The air you blow will still go between the fan blades with pretty minimal resistance, but it will also spin the fan. It's not like trying to shove play dough through a turbine or even water, because gasses can both compress and change direction quite easily. Hope this makes sense. Basically, there are some parasitic losses, but they aren't drastic and the power added by the boost is far greater than the losses.

How oil end up inside turbo , one that sucks the air and sends it into the engine ? Where is the leak? Where is that oil coming from?

[@802Garage]

If you have oil in the compressor housing of your turbo, there are a few possibilities. 1. You have a PCV line routed to the intake, an engine vent line, and because of the boost you are pushing oil vapors into the intake before the turbo. 2. Your PCV is not adequate and you are pressurizing the oil pan and therefore the oil return from the turbo which is pushing oil past the compressor side piston ring in the turbo. 3. Your drain from the turbo is not large enough or flowing well enough and oil is backing up in the center housing and going past the piston ring seals. Can also be too much oil supply. 4. The turbo bearings have been damaged and the compressor side has too much side to side play, allowing oil to pass the piston ring seal.

[@XSR_RUGGER]

How does it compress the air? I just bought a vehicle that has a turbo charger and I know very little😂. I know it's used to increase the amount of air for the fuel/air mixture. (At least that's what my understanding is but I could be wrong).

[@802Garage]

Yep you got it. As many people like to say, an engine is basically an air pump. More air in means more air to mix with fuel means more power. The amount of fuel is increased as well to keep the ratio appropriate. The air is compressed by the turbo because the pinwheel shaped compressor wheel is sucking air in and spinning so fast that it pushes a huge volume of air into the intake tract after the turno, but before it goes into the engine. Similar to if you directed all the air from a large fan into a small tube it would create really fast flowing or high pressure air. The air going into the engine has nowhere else to go, so it builds pressure. Hope that makes sense.

[@XSR_RUGGER]

@@802Garage Thanks! I was wondering how the pressure was maintained after it goes through an intercooler. As it cooled it would lose pressure but if there's back pressure it could possibly maintain some increased pressure but then it would lose velocity. 🧐 I'm probably over complicating it but once I read some things on it I became very intrigued in how to make it as efficient as possible 😂. Your presentation was great by the way! I should have said that first and foremost.

[@802Garage]

@@XSR_RUGGER Basically the intercooler piping, intercooler, and intake manifold are all the space that the air gets shoved into and compressed. Pressure always wants to equalize in a system. The compressed air is allowed out when the engine's valves open to let it into the cylinders. That's how the boost actually adds more air to the combustion process. It is true that it loses some pressure as it is cooled, but that effect is minor and the denser air actually has more oxygen molecules per volume, so it allows even more air into the cylinder to be burned, that's why it is cooled! You are taking basic scientific principles and applying them to a complex system, which is great. The full picture is just a bit more of a give and take and while each principle has an impact, no single change completes or negates the effects of compressing the air to add power. Hopefully that makes sense. Basically cooler air means denser air means more molecules per volume. More molecules per volume in the cylinder means more fuel can be added per combustion event and burned efficiently which means more power. Cooler air also means cooler cylinders and engine components which means less chance for overheating and most importantly detonation which can damage engines. Detonation is when the gas ignites from heat rather than the spark as intended. It creates massive pressure spikes at the wrong time and it is crucial for turbo engines to avoid detonation. Hope this all helped!

[@XSR_RUGGER]

@@802Garage it absolutely did help thank you! It makes much more sense now. I've been rolling through my brain most of the day today lol. I can't express enough how appreciative I am for this explanation, it made it all click. I read that engines get better hp in colder weather as well which this explanation clears that up too. Then I got to thinking that trying to not only cool the compressed air down but also trying to decrease the ambient air temperature before the turbo should theoretically help and also getting some of the heat out of the turbo body itself from the exhaust gasses and the compression would theoretically help as well but those have probably already been thought of and refined. I even thought about rerouting an AC vent into the intake either pre or post air filter to cool that down before going into the turbo 😂. My mind has happily been going crazy with this stuff. Thank you again sir and sorry for the rambling.

[@802Garage]

​@@XSR_RUGGER Hahaha so often I try to figure out how a system works and it can be stuck in my brain for hours until I do more research. You are correct that ambient temperature affects performance. The colder it is, the colder the air charge starts out, the colder it will be after the intercooler, and also the colder air makes the intercooler colder in the first place. The temperature delta however, how much the temperature changes before and after the intercooler, will likely be lower. The hotter the air is, the more willing it is to exchange its heat, essentially. For example if it is 50 degrees out, the air after the turbo might be 200 degrees and be cooled to 100 degrees after the intercooler, a 100 degree delta. If it is 100 degrees out, the air might be 275 degrees after the turbo, but cool to 125 degrees after the intercooler, a 150 degree delta. The temperature is still higher than before, but the intercooler has done more cooling. This is a gross simplification of course and depends on tons of factors like how efficient the intercooler is, how much air flow it is getting, and if it is already heat soaked or not. You'll be interested to know the Dodge Demon actually can use the AC system to cool the supercharger! Just keep in mind the AC system also uses horsepower to run. Enjoy the rambles!

[@802Garage]

We definitely like our shortcuts! I think many German phrases are also much shorter in English. Front heavy may have at one point been heavy in the front or heavy in the nose, but front heavy means the same. Sequential twin turbo charger system is essentially the same as twin turbo. Interesting stuff!

Important question is a oil catch can important when putting a cold air intake on your turbo ???? Please answer asap

[@802Garage]

@@heroesofruin27 Sort of a complicated answer. Depends on the engine, how much boost you are running, what your intake setup is like. The PCV return is likely routed into the intake pre-turbo in which case you can either retain that system or switch it out to a catch can that way you aren't sucking the oil vapor into the turbo. If you are pushing a lot of extra boost you almost definitely want a catch can because it is going to pressurize the crank case. It basically just ensures you don't get oil and vapor everywhere and that it is routed to where you want it to go instead of where you don't. The more boost you run the more vents you likely need as well like in the valve cover as you see on a bunch of high-powered cars.

[@heroesofruin27]

@@802Garage ok thank you for the answer

[@802Garage]

@@heroesofruin27 Sure thing. Basically if you are making an NA car turbo or if you are upgrading a turbo car, a proper catch can or air oil separator is a good idea.

@@802Garage I have a 2020 Chevy Malibu Lt I put a cold air intake on it and there is no oil catch can for it should I just put the stock air system on that has a catch can on it or is it that big of a deal ?

[@802Garage]

@@heroesofruin27 I would try to retain all of the stock functions and just keep the intake as well. If there are missing provisions for tubes and hoses that go to the stock PCV system, I would try to add them back as they were placed in the stock system.

[@EARTHKEENING]

Can bad/leaky TD03 turbo mix coolant and oil within the unite it self ?

[@802Garage]

It's possible, but it would generally mean the center housing is cracked or had a factory casting defect. I would consider this very rare. One way to test would be to remove the oil return, close off one coolant passage, fill the other coolant like, pressurize it, and see if coolant leaks from the oil return.

Only a couple parts to it, what could go wrong? 😳

[@802Garage]

I know you may be joking, but they are surprisingly simple machines! A journal bearing turbo really only has 6 or so key components to stay functioning. Turbine wheel and shaft, compressor wheel and nut, a pair of journal bearings, thrust bearing, thrust collar, and piston rings. There are of course the housings and oil control components as well as a heat shield, but as long as those parts are in tact, it just needs a good oil supply to stay functioning.

How can u lengthen the life of a turbo and look after it

[@802Garage]

Great question! The number 1, 2, and 3 answers are oil, oil, and oil! Make sure it has adequate oiling, make sure the oil is changed, and make sure it has adequate oil drainage. Clean and consistent oiling means a happy turbo while a proper drain means no smoking. The next answer is heat mitigation. You want the CHRA to stay cooled, which is primarily done via oil. Keeping oil temp in check will make a big difference. Allowing the turbo to cool before shutting down will reduce oil coking inside. If the turbo has provisions for water cooling, they should be used. Next is making sure it has proper filtration, don't let foreign objects in. Also make sure there are no post turbo boost leaks as those can create overspeed conditions. Next would be making sure it has adequately sized exhaust and proper waste gating. Don't want too much restriction and don't want leaks or boost creep. After that it's making sure it's sized properly for the engine and boost levels. Too small and it will overspeed and self-destruct. Too large and it can surge. I'm not going too into detail on the final points, but most important is definitely oil!

[@nealhemminger7604]

I wanted to learn about turbos it looks like something wore out causing mine to blow oil onto the engine.

[@802Garage]

@@nealhemminger7604 I'd check how much play there is in the shaft. Take off the intake and if you can wiggle the shaft in and out more than say half a millimeter there's likely an issue, and if you can wiggle it side to side enough for the blades to touch the housing, it's fully blown and I wouldn't drive in it more. Or if you can see damage from the blades touching the housing. If it has a lot of wobble, not just a little, but isn't touching, it may just need a rebuild. The other option is that oil is backing up somehow and the drain is not draining properly.
