Turbocharger turbine wheel clipping, the insde story!

Ever wondered what a clipped turbine wheel was? Why was it done? In this video I will go over the basics of this topic. Be sure to leave a comment if you have a question, I will be happy to answer them. Hope you all have a great day! -Reed

Great simple video.

It was a trick that was employed a lot back in the DSM modding days with the Mutt and Frankenstein turbochargers so you got a Garrett compressor in a Mitsubishi turbocharger that bolted right onto a ported exhaust manifold and ported O2 housing.

Good video. Would love one going over that G-series turbine you showed there at the end👍

looks amazing

Had a "greddy" turbo kit on a h22 prelude years ago. Big compressor small turbine. It was "happy" around 260whp dynojet around 10psi boost. Against my suggestions, he had the small turbine wheel"clipped" and lost around 10 wheel hp everywhere

Well done. Visually seeing the difference through the housing shows how much flow improvement 10deg can get you! Are you concerned about the tips degrading on the machined clip where it appears sharp?

I have a hybrid turbo ready to go on my car. It has a clipped turbine wheel, and a large and lighter compressor wheel. What are the chances it will greatly impact lag/spool response?

[@user-nf3oq2ge3g]

Clipping is when you are putting a smaller turbo on a big engine and need more flow. Not needed on a 4 cylinder when you are trying to extrapolate as much power as possible. Clipping anythjng will ruin your power band.

In smaller applications its not going to respond as well and wont sppol up to it's normal operating curve. Rather buy a slightly larger turbo more consistent with your applications. Just saying.
