rt24596 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2012 So, you want to turbo-charge your car and you dream of sub-seven second dashes to 100km/h. There are many hatchbacks and sedans in India that have had successful after-market turbo jobs, but each one of them required a huge investment in time and money. Adding a turbo-charger to your car is a serious modification and lack of knowledge, expertise and appropriate parts can lead to disaster. This compilation covers some things to look for before you buy a turbo and the simple ways to check a turbo install job. Before you choose a turbo make sure the following is checked: - That the ECU has the ability to handle turbo-boosting; - That the injector has enough size to supply extra fuel; - That you use fuel of the proper quality, pressure and volume; - That knock sensing apparatus is equipped; - That there is available space in the engine compartment; and - Whether the compression ratio has been brought down to at least 8.5. How to choose the right turbo: - Pick one that is designed for the engine capacity of your car. The chart below can be used as a rough guide; - Make sure that the exhaust side (or turbine trim) is designed for your engine capacity and that the intake side (or compressor trim) is larger; - High-quality turbos have ball bearings and water-cooling while lesser ones use roller bearings and have no water cooling; - Does the turbo have an external/internal waste gate and at what boost does it open? Here is a chart to help you choose your turbo trim, assuming you know how to calculate your engine Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
