AUTOMOTIVE HOW TOS | GUIDES | HOW STUFF WORKS | PROJECT CAR BUILDS and MORE: www.boostedautos.net/youtube We all know that turbos make cars go faster, but how exactly is this achieved? An engine can be thought of like a pump. On the intake stroke the engine draws air in. This air is mixed with fuel and compressed as the piston rises, a spark ignites the mixture and forces the piston down. As the piston rises back up, the waste products from the combustion stroke are forced out of the exhaust at high temperature and the next cycle begins. A turbo converts this waste thermal energy into kinetic energy, which can then be used to pressurise the air entering the engine. Pressurised air contains more oxygen, and more oxygen means a more powerful combustion is possible, thus increasing the power output of the engine. In this quick video I run you through the fundamental components of a turbocharger and how they combine to generate boost pressure inside your engine. Including Compressor and Compressor Housing, Turbine and Turbine Housing, Internal and External Wastegates. I also go through the differences between different types of turbochargers,and how the correct turbo is chosen when designing a car or turbo kit. In the next video I'll take it once step further and pull the turbo apart to show you how everything works at a component level, so make sure you subscribe to the channel so you don't miss it. _____________________________________________________ Got an idea for a video? - Let me know in the comments below Check out the Boosted Autos Website: - http://www.boostedautos.net Enjoying the free content and want to support this channel? https://www.patreon.com/boostedautos Get involved on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/boostedautos Follow on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/boosted_autos !!!DON'T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE!!! https://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=projectbrz ]]> Sat 18 Feb 2017 21:13:32 +0200 https://www.gnarpowpow.com/videos/10138/how-a-turbo-works-hands-on-explanation/ https://www.gnarpowpow.com/videos/9916/turbo-vs-supercharger-how-to-choose-the-best-kit/
AUTOMOTIVE HOW TOS | GUIDES | HOW STUFF WORKS | PROJECT CAR BUILDS and MORE: www.boostedautos.net/youtube FULL ARTICLE HERE: http://www.boostedautos.net/choosing-the-right-turbo-or-supercharger-kit/ Choosing a Forced Induction kit for your car can be a difficult process. With so many different options now available to boost Naturally Aspirated cars, and so many different suppliers all claiming to have the best product, filtering the facts from the marketing spin can be a tricky process. Most of us would agree that part of the reward comes from doing the research yourself, so rather than just compiling a list of recommended power kits, I’ve decided to write a definitive guide to boosting your car in the hope it will empower you to ask the right questions, and make well informed decisions about the path to take with your project. If this sounds like something that’s of interest to you, this video and article are for you... _____________________________________________________ Got an idea for a video? - Let me know in the comments below Check out the Boosted Autos Website: - http://www.boostedautos.net Enjoying the free content and want to support this channel? https://www.patreon.com/boostedautos Get involved on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/boostedautos Follow on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/boosted_autos !!!DON'T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE!!! https://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=projectbrz ]]> Thu 16 Feb 2017 20:34:36 +0200 https://www.gnarpowpow.com/videos/9916/turbo-vs-supercharger-how-to-choose-the-best-kit/
