In some instances a turbocharger could glow cherry red, so hot from the work it is performing that it becomes a fiery demon on top of the engine. To begin with, a tremendous amount of heat is generated by the turbo as it works its magic.
Okay it all sounds so good, so what's the problem? Well, up until recent years, there were some gremlins with turbocharging. Small turbocharged engines can easily outperform larger, naturally aspirated engines. Turbocharging simply packs more air into the engine, and more horsepower is obtained from a given engine block. This fast-spinning turbine (often close to 100,000 rpm) is attached to a compressor wheel, which pulls in air through the air filter system and compresses it under pressure as it is forced and then mixed with fuel, and sprayed through an injector into the engine for combustion. The turbocharger is powered by the engine's exhaust gases, which turn the blades of a turbine. Instead of relying on a vacuum to pull the air/fuel mixture into an engine for combustion, turbocharging literally rams the mixture into the engine's intake manifold under pressure, and the engine develops considerably more horsepower at a given rpm as a result, much more than would be seen in a non-turbo, or naturally aspirated, configuration. Those early attempts for better performance engines were soon eclipsed, however, by the development of turbocharging, which is a mechanical method of pushing even higher quantities of air into an engine.Īt its most simplistic level, a turbocharger is an air pump, providing the engine with massive quantities of dense, compressed air to mix with fuel. These hood scoops did a fairly good job of ramming large quantities of air into the engine's carburetor at high speed.
Turbosmart e-boost controllers also allow the user to control three different aspects of the boost curve More importantly, this means that you can increase the performance and response from your engine without even raising the maximum boost level. All Turbosmart e-Boost controllers feature our exclusive adjustable gate pressure feature, which improves turbo response by up to 1000 rpm earlier in the rev range. The Turbosmart eBoost range of electronic boost management systems are one of the most popular, powerful, and user-friendly ranges of electronic boost controllers on the market.Įngineered to win, the eBoost controllers give you the ultimate control over the boost curve with innovative features designed for one thing – performance.
