Turbo Knowledge

[700HP-GTR33]

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

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

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
