Increasing of power of piston engines have always remained an actual task. It was tested many different devices, the essence of which was to improve the fuel inlet supply into the combustion chamber – the more fuel is consumed, the greater engine power can be obtained. Increasing the amount of fuel is done quite simple, but the increase in air in practice is difficult to implement. Because constructively engine is designed for a definite amount of air supplied to the combustion chamber, then to increase that amount it is necessary either to upgrade its own system of filing, or to install an additional device. Such devices, or compressors, increase the pressure and air flow at the inlet.

Turbo charging is widely used in modern cars. Many European manufacturers in recent years often equip their engines with turbochargers. Turbocharger is designed to supply high quantities of air into the combustion chamber and uses the energy of exhaust gases leaving the combustion chamber. From turbocharger the torque is transferred to the air pump, which pumps a lot of air into the cylinder. It was suggested at the beginning of the past century to use the exhaust gases leaving the cylinder, having installed a turbocharger on their way. At the same time it was formulated the basic principles of its work.

The construction of turbocharger – is a turbine, which has a common shaft with an air compressor. Untwisting of turbocharger is due to feeding to its blades hot exhaust gases from the cylinders. Unwinding, turbocharger pumps compressed air into the combustion chamber, thereby increasing the volume of fuel-air mixture. And only after that exhaust gases enter the exhaust. The very important for turbocharger is a state of the turbine blades. The exhaust gases leaving the cylinder have a very high temperature and fed under high pressure, so the requirements for elements of the turbocharger are very high. The construction must be reliable and able to withstand heavy loads.

The efficiency of the turbocharger, and hence the degree of increase of engine power is largely dependent on the mode of the engine. Since the main source of energy for turbochargers is exhaust gases, then they will influence on the increased flow of air into the combustion chamber. Running the engine at higher modes, where the fuel supply to the cylinders is maximum, produces more exhaust and turbocharger will work more efficiently. After the transition to lower modes of the engine fuel supply is reduced, output of waste gases is reduced too. The consequence of this may be a delay in circulating the air by turbocharger at the next transition to a higher mode of the engine. It is form so-called “turbo hole”.

To avoid losing of power in transient regimes, it is used a number of constructive solutions. Dimensions of turbocharger are increased that it does not lose turns with a decrease in engine operating mode. To prevent a sharp increase in engine power, together with the turbocharger the control system works that tunes turnovers with the necessary quantity of charge air. Work of elements of turbocharger in extreme conditions increases the demands on their strength and durability. Today many companies are working on introducing new technologies and materials in the construction of turbochargers.

Very often auto owners decide to increase the power of a car engine by tuning and installation of turbo kit. Performing of such works is related to the installation of additional equipment regardless of the type of already installed engine. The term “turbo kit” means a set of spare parts designed to improve engine performance. The kit includes: turbocharger, exhaust manifold or other devices to connect to the engine, intercooler, air bypass valve, the valve for venting air and control system. If the motor vehicle is equipped with a turbine, then all work will conclude in its tuning.

Given the need to add new tuning (they are expensive, because the cost of some of them exceeds the cost of some original spare parts), you should borne in mind that the total cost of tuning can be very large. We should also remember that not every auto master is able to perform correctly and accurately installation and connection of all components of the tuning of this type. Accordingly to the already spent large amount money for spare parts, you have to add considerable costs to the work of repairer, because a specialist demands a high fee for this kind of tuning. Another point of possible costs – is the acquisition of related spare parts, such as gasket, a filter adapter. Please note that the acquisition may also require large financial expenditures.

Installation of all aftermarket parts takes a long time, so you should not count on a quick installation. The fact is that the most of installed elements, despite the accordance of parameters to a specific car, often have to be brought to the required size on site during installation. Sometimes such fits are time-consuming and require considerable work. Many of the components may not meet the stated parameters and require even more attention and time of repairer.

If you want the tuning of the car and further increase of engine performance to be successful, you must determine what equipment and for what purpose will be installed. Making a decision about installing of turbines, we must understand clearly what components should work with it in the kit. If you plan to install a large turbine, you do not have to forget about the manifold, intercooler, air bypass valve and corresponding fuel supply system. The selection of the size of the turbine must meet requirements for the engine requirements. It is better to install smaller turbine, but it will give the optimum increase of power. Only all installed components will allow achieving a positive result. The desire not to spend extra money on a seemingly unimportant detail can lead to increased labor costs or the inability of the work of the system. Getting this kind of tuning, as the installation of turbines, remember that it requires a large financial outlay and may take some time.

The days when people were busy in the engine compartment with a wrench to make the car go faster are probably numbered.

Modern electronic control units (ECU) assumed control of almost all aspects of motor control from ignition timing of fuel and much more.

Of course, this means that you will get more power, more complete combustion of the mixture and increased engine reliability. But this does not mean that the tuning is finished.

Please read our article about reprogramming ECU to get more information about how the program of the engine management works.

The term chip tuning is used in a very broad sense to describe any process of reprogramming the engine of the car.

In this article we will focus your attention on the specific action of “chip-tuning” and will not deepen in the reconfiguration.

The term probably has its roots in its youth, when the chips could not been easily reflashed and upgraded.

The only solution in such situations was to replace the chip. Often, the new chip had to be soldered on your own, but it’s pretty hard work. In addition, because of its fragile and sensitive nature the chips were prone to failure.

EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read-Device) was erasable and programmable chips that can be deleted, overwritten and re-installed on the machine.

Replacing the chip was the only way to change the firmware of the machine. But now, thanks to standardized diagnostic ports, everything became much easier.

Recently, we can see the machines equipped with built-in holes (ports) that allow downloading the latest firmware.

You can do chip-tuning easily by yourself, can’t you?

It’s not quite true. All you will need a thorough knowledge of the engine and, preferably, a full set of diagnostic equipment with a stand “rolling road” that will allow you to customize the firmware in real time.

Work will be serious – it is not to simply change a few numbers and get a big increase in capacity.

Doing the chip-tuning by own hands, you also run the risk of “curve recording”, after which the computer cannot be recovered because it is programmed with a parallel erasing the old data. If there is not restoring image, then you have to visit a dealer, and at worst you may require buying a new computer.

The best kind of chip-tuning – is making custom firmware, which will take into account the strengths and weaknesses of your car and any other modifications that you have already done. There is still a few companies can offer reconfiguration of the chip to more sport setting.

Do not confuse this procedure with the additional (subsidiary) chips or replacement chips. They are useful only when overwriting or replacement of a standard chip is impossible. However, in this case it would be better to buy the upgraded ECU entirely and use it.

The turbo systems have one problem – close proximity of inlet charge cold air and hot exhaust in the turbine.

Do not forget that large heating of intake air is from the compression of air, so even the supercharged engine will get advantage from the installation of the intercooler.

If you have ever felt what air outlets from the nozzle of the pump of the tires, then you will understand: when the air is squeezed – it heats up.

We know from the lessons of chemistry and physics, that the colder the air – the more oxygen is in it.

Why is this important?

To burn the fuel, you need oxygen. The more you have of oxygen – the more fuel you can burn, and this in turn increases the performance of the machine.

Intercooler – is, in fact, the radiator, which allows the inlet charge air to be cooled before it enters the engine. Ideally, it is necessary to install an intercooler in the front of the radiator, so that it is blown by a cool stream of air. Its location – is for an air filter and turbo or supercharger.

In most machines intercoolers are installed in front of the radiator. Therefore, they tend to provide better cooling compared to the intercooler above the engine. You should take into account the fact that less air will come to the radiator. Therefore, in extreme cases, you will need to improve the radiator so that it cools well the engine at high temperatures, air and road.

The rational position of intercooler may give an increase in power from 5% to 10%!

In some machines intercooler is installed above the engine. It sucks air through the hood. This means that when the machine does not move, then only hot air coming from the engine compartment falls in the intercooler.

In fact, it can increase fuel economy because the engine can burn less fuel because of the hot air. You do not have to break away from the spot, using the power of your engine, when you stand in the traffic jam.

All the turbo machines will get advantage from the intercooler. You can improve the standard intercoolers installed by the manufacturer of the machine. Do not forget that you want to suck as much air into the engine, so if the inner part (core) prevents the intercooler air flow, you will surely lose some power.

Two factors that make up the work of the intercooler are the characteristics of the inner duct and the cooling fins. Ideally, the fins should be as large as possible surface area, and the inner part – a small amount of tapering curves and the absence of welds, which cause turbulence.

Some argue that the intercoolers restrict the flow of air. But considering the benefits derived from the installation of high quality intercooler and a minimum loss of air flow, inherent to correctly positioned intercooler, you can confidently refute this argument. In fact the use of too large intercooler may obstruct the passage of air. The longer the air is in the intercooler – the better the cooling effect.

When in the turbo engine the throttle is closed (when you discard the gas), the pressure increases, because compressed air is still coming from the turbine.

Overriding of throttle is very similar to tube placement in the sink – drain stops, and the water will come up as long as it pours out of the shell across the top.

In the car when the engine does not burn fuel, it also does not consume oxygen. As a result, all turbo system will be under pressure, causing a rupture of pipes, or damage of the turbine, as the air tries to go back through the turbine, making a random noise, known as vibration of the compressor.

Sometimes it causes the turbine to stop or even worse – to rotate in the opposite direction that is a huge burden for the impellers, shaft and bearings in particular.

There are several reasons why the installation of air bypass valve – is a good idea.

Air bypass valve releases pressure of the boost, leaving the turbine in the free rotation in a vacuum. This prevents significant turbo pit and allows the turbine to rotate faster.

Another valve helps minimize the load on the turbine components, thereby extending its operation. That’s why such a vent valve is needed, it will help extend the life of your turbine and reduce its response time.

The lower part of the air bypass valve is connected to a pipe with a pipe before the intercooler, and a small vacuum hose leads from the top of the valve to the intake manifold of engine. Inside the valve there is a diaphragm (usually made of rubber) and a spring with a small insert for supporting the diaphragm, which is placed across the valve body.

When the throttle is open, boost pressure, which goes to the upper chamber above the diaphragm is equal to the absolute pressure in the intake manifold. Because of pressure is equal to or above atmospheric pressure, the spring holds the diaphragm and the valve on the saddle that prevents the output of compressed air.

When the throttle closes the channel, the absolute pressure in the intake manifold – vacuum, and the diaphragm rises from its seat, allowing boost pressure to go outside.

Air bypass valve produces excess pressure quite simple or quietly into the pipe at the turbine, or in the atmosphere with the characteristic loud whistling sound.

Your car will sound like a taking off plane that, of course, is cool.
Hearing the sound, the old lady would jump on the benches, and children – cry. So the attitude of other people to you will not be the friendliest.

With the opening of the throttle the pressure in the air bypass valve becomes greater than atmospheric again; the spring pushes the diaphragm into place, stopping the release of boost pressure.

Almost all cars with turbo systems are equipped with some simple safety valve to avoid all the related problems. Standard valve normally releases excess pressure in the intake system before the turbine (in the part which is not under pressure), and in case if the throttle is opened again, partially compressed air is efficiently absorbed into the new.

Without waste gates the boost pressure, which is created by a turbocharger, will depend only on the pressure of the engine exhaust.

This happens because exhaust pressure varies with engine speed (measured in rpm). This means that with increasing engine speed, turbocharger will produce more boost pressure.

The problem is that the engine can handle only a definite amount of boost. Most mass-produced units can sustain only about 0.7 kg/cm2, if not less.

In order to adjust the value of pressurization of the engine, the bypass valve acts as a door, allowing only a certain amount of exhaust gases passing through the impeller of the turbine.

Once the engine begins to give more pressure of exhaust than bypass valve allows, opens a valve, which directs emerging from the engine exhaust gases to bypass the turbine blades.

There are two types of waste gates.

The first type -is the internal waste gates. Internal relief valve – is a component of the turbine. The valve is opened by means of actuator (drive), which has a diaphragm device.
In this case, the extra exhaust gases are vented straight into the exhaust system.

There is also a so-called external waste gate. In contrast to the internal valve, it is located separately from the turbine. Excess gases can be produced either in the exhaust system or directly into the atmosphere.

In systems where it is important to obtain maximum performance, it is used the second option.

Most mass-produced systems are equipped with an internal waste gate, because this option is best suited for systems with low-pressure turbo charging. However, many systems on the market show the best performance with a separate external waste gate that makes it an ideal choice for those turbo systems that creates pressure in the range from 1.4 kg/cm2 to 2.1 kg/cm2.

Screamer pipe – is a tube that is attached to the waste gate and comes into play only at the maximum level of boost pressure, not when you are resetting the gas. For example, such Screamer pipe is installed on the Ferrari F40, where it looks like the third exhaust pipe behind the car.

Screamers are extremely noisy and technically should be withdrawn in the exhaust system before the catalyst.

If reasonable accommodation, they may slightly extend the rotation of the turbine and speed up the feedback between pressing the gas pedal and the turbine that makes it possible to eliminate turbo pit.

Screamers that go into the atmosphere are incredibly loud and sound like a jet engine.

Due to the prohibitive level of noise they are banned for use in the vast majority of roads with noise limits, and because they bypass the catalyst (if you make a screamer in the form of a separate exhaust pipe), the machine just will not pass any test for SB.

The concept of “tuning” has become usual for us, though often this implies only the presence of plastic lining on the body and tinted windows. Concretely the tuning may involve quite serious changes in the design of the engine, suspension and other systems of the car.

It will be discussed in this article about interesting solutions and designs in the field of fine-tuning of cars, even if sometimes they seem controversial.

Turbine supercharger, or just turbo charging, was known in the beginning of the century. Swiss engineer Alfred Byuhi put the first experiments till the First World War on the aircraft engines. But the main problem for widespread use of turbo charging was the absence of inexpensive technology of precision casting of high-strength materials. The first more widespread use of turbochargers in mass-produced passenger cars occurred at plants in Bavaria in 1973.

As it is known, the amount of fuel that can burn in the engine cylinders are rigidly connected with the volume of air sucked into the engine at start-up. Mass ratio which is about 1 kg of fuel at 15 kg of air should be kept very strictly, further enrichment of the mixture leads to a decrease in power. To overcome this obstacle, you must submit to the barrel more air and pumping it under excess pressure. In this case, with an increase in air pressure at 30%, there is adequate growth of capacity and accelerating dynamics.

The principle of operation of the gas turbine compressor is simple. On the exhaust manifold it is attached turbine casing, inside which there is the turbine wheel, and with it it is mounted a compressor wheel. Under the influence of the flow of exhaust gas the turbine spins, the moment is transmitted through the shaft to a compressor impeller, and it, sucking air through an air filter, under pressure pushes it into the carburetor, increasing the filling of cylinders.

Thus, we upload more of the working mixture in one and the same amount of cylinders. As at the usual engine only 25% of the injected fuel into the cylinder burns due to lack of oxygen. Improving filling with the air, there is proportional increase of burning gasoline mixture that leads to an increase in engine efficiency. Thus, for the same period of time compared to naturally aspirated engines, we upload large amounts of fuel, while increasing the torque characteristics which are reflected in the accelerating dynamics. The idea is simple, but it is very difficult to put it into practice for a car. I can only say that only a few automobile companies manufacture turbochargers.

The main complexity of installing and adapting turbo petrol engine is that the temperature of exhaust gases, which the turbine must withstand, is equal to 900-950 C, while the working speed of the rotor with the impeller are calculated by dozens and even hundreds of thousands of turns per minute. At the same time, the limited capacity of the engine compartment space requires from manufacturers to fit the unit into this framework. Thus, the unit must have a high heat resistance, be compact, carefully balanced and at the same time affordable.

If you go back to your childhood, then you will probably remember the windmills, with which Don Quixote fought. Imagine a windmill with two propellers arranged back to back. When the wind spins the first propeller, the shaft rotates the second, and it will drive the wind in your direction.

The turbine consists of two impellers placed in the exhaust stream and in the way of the intake air. The impeller rotates with the exhaust side as you progress through the exhaust, forcing the other to turn the impeller inlet. Thus, effective absorption of fresh air is achieved.

Thus, the turbine produces energy from the exhaust gases. Although, barring the way to the exhaust flow by the propeller, thereby you reduce the efficiency of the exhaust; increase in capacity compensates it generously.

Flying of planes on fuel was limited in height because of the discharged air and insufficient content of oxygen in it. With the use of turbines, the air could be driven by force in the engine, allowing the aircraft to move on higher altitudes and fly faster on low ones.

It was not long before someone saw the use of turbines in automobile engines, and we became the witnesses of growing popularity of installing of turbines at the well-known cars. Nowadays manufacturers have to produce more efficient cars.

With the turbine you get more energy from each cubic centimeter of volume that increases the engine performance. This is the increase in capacity, in which any fan of tuning is interested the most.

Turbines allow small and light engine to generate the same power as that of large engines, while consuming less fuel.

The potential of increase of power after the installation of turbines is huge. Most engines are designed with a solid margin of safety and without any problems will withstand increase of capacity by 30% -50%. Some engines can withstand even greater increase of power. Seriously revised unit cannot do without a turbo system.

With the advent of modern computer control of motors, we have a method to obtain maximum power from the turbine. For example, when reaching a certain level of boost, an extra exhaust gases are deflated from the turbine. With reprogramming you can overcome this limitation. Fuel delivery should also be aligned to avoid the depletion of the mixture.

Are there any shortcomings in the turbo engines?

Until the exhaust will start passing fairly quickly, the turbine will not be useful. It is shown with the so-called “turbo hole”, in which the engine seems to be “dead” until the inclusion of the turbine (jerk). The larger the turbine, the greater the “pit” is.

Large turbines also are in demand – this is the path that usually people who improve their turbo system pass. There are even the systems consisting of 3 and 4 turbines with boost controller, placing each separately with the increase exhaust flow for a uniform increase of power.
