How to choose the right turbocharger || EXPLAINED

O.K. 25 years ago I bought a book and read through it and for me it took some time, this guy explains it so quickly and accurately, he did skip the exhaust housing size, but they are easy to swap, one of my cars I went from a 0.86 to a 1.02 A/R and gained a lot top end and lost very little at lower RPM. Current build is a N54. I'm a full time dyno tuner and a mechanic for 37 years and this was a great refresher

What turbo woul you recommend for a 3.6 Camaro

[@phoenix_NZ]

@@Buddy-nu6le That is an easy question but not so easy to answer, Watch the video, but with the info I have (3.6 Camaro) I'd look into a Garrett gtx3582

[@ΡένοςΟρφανίδης]

How did you become a tuner? Im a young mechanic with 5 years experience and I want to learn that too! Hello from Greece

[@phoenix_NZ]

Buy a second car, preferably turbo cheap and available. Buy an aftermarket ECU and start from there. Knock detection and Wideband is also required. Now days there is also HP academy and they are quite good as well, buy the lifetime membership, the only problem with online courses is they expect everything goes right and nothing ever does

Dude, you filled in so mamy small details that had been perplexing me for so long! Other tutorial videos and articles gloss over so much. You manage to cover it all, in less than 15min! All those little missing details, so appreciated!

[@ShawnFerret]

I just want to share my personal lesson learned from sizing a turbo using this exact method - which resulted in lazy/laggy setup for street driving. I learned that you don’t need peak compressor efficiency at max RPM. It’s actually okay to be tapering off to the choke point at max RPM in a street application, which is what most factory turbocharged cars do. It is better to optimize peak compressor efficiency for the RPM range where you want to make power. With that in mind I would do the calculation at various engine RPM levels and compare the plot - looking for max efficiency at, for example, 5k RPM. It’s a good sanity check to plot the max RPM too, but not the number I’d care the most about.

[@MZopyrus]

This is great, and 100% true.

[@177SCmaro]

I tell people that the basic answer to the right size turbo is the smallest turbo that meant you power needs. Be realistic about your engine's power. Beyond that it start getting mathy.

[@braziliansheetbox2497]

​@@177SCmaro people like to go oversize on turbo, if you live in a area were you don't have a lot of big and long straights is just dumb to have a turbo too big

[@paulomedina953]

Brilliant explanation my friend,everything makes sense now with those calculations, before I did turbocharge with very low psi pressures for engine safety because I did not have the math to calculate the actual turbo speed lines. Now we are turbocharging a suzuki swift gti 1300cc, street circuit race car as we still race them in southamerica, when we live very far from real racing tracks. This year they change the rule book for this championship and they eliminated the 0 to 1300cc class that we used to race for many years , and put us into the 0 to 1650cc class with a minimum 970kg on the cars, wich is to much weight to add to an 750kg light car as ours. So the other option is to turbocharge the car and run the open class that has no limit on weight and we can even make the car a bit lighter and use full slick tires, I have a turbo kit that I had it from another suzuki engine with a Garrett AR 63 inlet turbine and a AR 60 compression wheel, but since it's being sitting around for many years I don't have the turbo lines graphics to check if is the proper one for this similar engine, we intend to get 250 crank hp and change the pistons because now we have 11,5 to 1 compression lower it to 8,5 to 1, I have MaxxECU so I can adjust for the turbo.I think the Turbo that you choose for the Miata it will work on mine as well ,the thing is that I still have to buy that one and I will like to find out if my Garrett it will be similar to that one before I do the purchase. Hopefully you have some experience with this Garrett turbo and can advise me on this set up.

[@Bozemanjustin]

It's fun to understand how something works. In school I was taught how to do square roots in the long hand fashion, just so we understood how to do it. It takes like three pieces of paper to do a small calculation. Therefore, you use a calculator or the generation before mine used slide rules. It was just trying to show you how it works. If you can't understand it, do you know what you should do?.... Call the company that makes the turbo charger. Tell them exactly what kind of an application you have, and they have somebody there that understands, and they will give you the best recommendation. It's not like he's asking you to build your own turbocharger, it was just trying to give you an idea how they work. The companies that make these products know exactly what works with what from experience. Or look up videos of Richard holdener, that guy runs more dyno pulls than anybody I've ever seen. I think he has cam autism lol. He runs every single cam and head combination possible. And he is a wealth of knowledge. He might actually have a video for what you're looking for already.
