Coming from a 15 y.o car enthusiast, loved this episode of Boost School and can't wait for the next one! Liked and subbed. Question: Can you address the way F1 cars place their turbos in an episode? (Elongated turbo shaft)

@Pandacat 666 that's a Polish surname for you :) I came back from Gdansk yesterday and regardless I'm going there at least twice a year since 2007, I still can't read it and barely survive with the few words I remember by sound, LoL.

This was an awesome video, never knew the turbine wheels were Inconel, cool stuff man!

[@tbas8741]

Thats why i always laugh at people when they say running a BOV/ BPV Blanking plate and forcing the Turbo to Flutter/Surge is fine and that it dont harm the Turbos lifespan. But they dont realise when you say making 15psi boost and let off the gas, the air that makes turbo flutter and stall is coming back at 15psi its no different to taking a rubber mullet and wacking the compressor wheel directly with 15psi of force (if its 4" squared surface area thats equal to hitting compressor wheel with 60 pounds of force with a hammer.) Over short time it DOES Damage the turbo and bearings in it, Specially Journal Bearing Turbos which are not designed to take in /out thrust loads Rough Guide for average Turbo Life Span is (only for new water/oil cooled turbos given a proper warm up & cool down periods. - Journal Bearing Turbo (like a TD04 on Subaru) Should Last 300,000km - 350,000km without issues till the Ring Seals Wear out. - Ball bearing Turbo Should last 150,000-200,000km Without issues until the bearing need to be replaced. (Journal bearings tend to last Much Much longer in ALL Applications and why they are used in train axles as BB Can't Take the Loads. While Journal bearings actually have Zero contact Parts and Float on a Film of Oil, where as BB turbos roll on little ball bearings, just like a Train Axle there is no Ball Bearings in there as they cant handle 20 tonnes per square inch like journal bearings can handle much higher load up until oil in squeazed so hard it boils or ignites)

I'm thinking the gold titanium coating on the compressor wheel might help prevent wear from dust particles, especially for off road applications.

[@inthemaze7441]

Do they have different micron ratings on those filters? I understand the idea is to get as much fresh air in. So this I guess should also depend upon the surface area? Truly I have no idea as I'm running OEM. I'm at high altitude and am just looking oxygen lol.

[@boosted2.4_sky]

That's what air filters are for....the manufacturer coated the wheel so that people would think it's stronger..and it would be distinct and stand out.. there's no real benefit to coating the wheel other than that... it's already a billet wheel...it's as strong as it's gonna be.....

[@vintagetrikesandquads4012]

@@boosted2.4_sky Filters still pass particles, especially in off road applications. Titanium is a surface hardening treatment. You don't normally see the compressor anyway, so why do it just for looks.

So I have an idea for a video I’d love to see from you. A video on brakes would be killer and it could be done through different videos.

As well as what the differences between stock brakes and a big brake kit is as well as what’s in different brake pads and so on. It would be a neat series.

[@802Garage]

I was considering making this exact comparison video in the future, but I think you did a way better job than I would! It is crazy the value proposition of these turbos. If you want to learn way more about turbos than you thought you could for free, I highly recommend the channel TurboDirect S.A his videos will blow your mind with info. The one other area I'd like to know about on these turbos is if the wheel is from a forged billet or not. Obviously a forged wheel is even another step up in advantages!

My only favorite school BOOST SCHOOL with DFA🚘👌🐌🚀

[@jeremywhittler8591]

Break the ceramic portion of a spark plug and throw a small piece at a pane of glass lightly. It will explode with unexpected sound and energy . When the outer surface of cast metal is cooling its trapping heat inside and distorting the grain structure because it's cooling unevenly and trapping forces inside , that's why some parts are stress relieved. Billet has a much greater time to cool then is cold machined in a cnc. The typical culprit of a failed turbo is the chra cartridge failing and allowing the wheel to make contact with the housing. Incolnel turbine wheels are the strongest , typically you fail on the compressor side aka precision turbos vs garett chra center sections. You'll be smoking and breaking compressors way before you'll have a housing failure.

[@smolneko6310]

Heck yea good stuff from my favorite channel.

[@TheGinger1]

Great video. I really do enjoy how you present and explain some complex subjects in a way that a dumb @rse like me can understand. I've learnt a lot through your videos. I'd really like to see more videos in the boost school series. Particularly how to read a compressor map and pick the right turbo for an application. Do you just need a video sponsor to make this happen?

[@stevesolo16]

Journal bearings do handle street abuse better than ball bearings. A racing set-up on the other hand shows the sustained high rpm and abuse are better suited for ball and ceramic bearings. Yes, they cost a lot more money. I am not saying the journal bearings won't work, so I guess it's like buying insurance, ...or bragging rights! Take note, everything spun around has a resonation point allowing cavitation and ware. The bearing turbo will have much less resonation due to better, tighter tolerances Great Video!! You rock!

So, in theory, if Dr. Emmett Brown had a twin-scroll turbocharger with a billet compressor wheel, a stainless steel turbine housing, and Inconel internals in his DeLorean combined with that monstrous flux capacitor, he could've easily had gotten to 88 miles per hour in around 5 seconds. He should've stopped by a tuning shop first instead of looking for Biff and Marty's family!

[@DominoSixO]

Very informative but I wouldn't categorize the cheap turbo as a bad one but as a less performant one, for daily driving and once in a while boost to pass the cars faster is fun enough, yes the risk of damaging it faster than the more expensive turbo is high but for a fun project worth the money even if it blows or cracks. I already got a cheap one and can't wait to try it, if it blows, I'm buying a GTR one. Or I'll change the broken parts to new better ones from my local turbo fixing shop.

[@goatsplitter]

I have a friend that had a 1g eclipse gsx that was built to hell and back. He would only buy the cheapo $100 giant turbos and they'd only ever last a season. He'd then just buy another. I never understood why he didn't just buy the more expensive stronger turbo when over the span of a few years the cost added up to the expensive unit anyway.

I've found component weight makes little difference to spool up time, I went from a td06 sl2 11-blade stock clipped style turbine that weighed 223g to a 9-blade taller and flatter blade discharge angle turbine that weighed 267g and it comes on boost faster, ignoring the extra weight. I'd posit the weight is not far from the centre of the shaft so the effect is small. If you've seen the stock sl2 turbine, it's a crappy design

I have some questions 1. Why don't we see petrol cars with variable geometry turbos 2. How does a twin scroll turbocharger work exactly? 3. Are diesel turbo compressors made from billet because a diesel mostly boosts at 40psi all the time even daily driving, maybe i don't know?

[@d4a]

Those are all pretty big questions and can't fit into a comment. Twin scroll can't really fit into a comment but it's getting a video in the future. VGTs are mostly on diesels because the lower exhaust temps means they won't fail as soon as they would on a petrol. But there are gasoline engines with vgt, but far less common definitely. A typical stock diesel definitely does not boost 40psi. Average factory boost levels are mostly similar or a bit higher than petrol engines.

@@d4a Ok cool i want to ask you another question.

I get 18 psi maximum boost on my 2001 Dodge 3500 with the stock turbo on the 5.9 liter Cummins diesel engine.

With the stock setup I can pull my 30' toyhauler up most any grade while watching the EGT very carefully and making sure it doesn't exceed 1200 degrees F. There are a few grades near my home (within 150 miles) where I need to use a power pedal setting that requires I slow down and downshift to keep the EGT under control. There's plenty of power but it's not usable in these conditions. Have you done any videos on upgrading turbos on a diesel pickup?
