Hello,

I would like to see in this discussion peoples knowledge on turbos.

How they work , diagrams of intercoolers and all other relevant diagrams related to this topic.

I would hope it be in laymen terms or close. Does anyone really understand them?

I am interested myself, but have problem identifying part and where they fit.

Dumps,front pipes, actuators inlet turbine exhaust turbine ,sizing metric and imperial.

If you are able to show these on cars like a gtr or gtst it would help people even greater,

Hi mate here is a basic diagram of the systems hope this helps. click on link to view

turbo basically uses the exhaust gasses to spin the impeller wheel, which sucks in and compresses air and pretty much forces it into the engine, meaning you get more compression pretty much.

Intercoolers, basically they are a heat sink. You have your sort of solid rows in the middle which the compressed air goes through, and then you have like this see through mesh bit. The air passes through this, cooling the metal and the surrounds, including the compressed air. etc etc etc My brain hurts too much to explain any more atm :)

also check out http://www.prestigemotorsport.com.au/modules/turboTalk/

good info in there

howstuffworks.com will give you a good insight into how they work and the most common questions and follows up on turbocharging and supercharging if you are curious

Thank you all for that info.

Cheers

It was not the purpose of this thread, I knew the function of turbos and how they worked

Pipe names, terminology used was more my interest.

Sizes were also important showing us volume and turbine speed

Anyway thanks again for the input guys

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
