Installing and using of turbocharger

acegem84 SG

eh kinda wondering issit possible to install a turbocharger on a vios ?

1)will it overstress the veh's engine?

2)can we adjust the amt of performance the turbocharger can provide ?

3)will it cost the veh's FC to increase?

Gedanken SG

What's the point?

1) Possibly - the pistons and con rods may not be designed for the stresses that come with the increased compression.

2) You can install blow-off valves, but considering there's probably precious little you can get out of it as it is, would you want to do that?

3) Of course.

in fact, thrs a vios turbo in the thai market.. u might wan to find out more abt it.. [/quote]

vios engine compression ratio too high… or can consider compressor.. aka SC

After you add in the aftermarket turbocharger, you can consider getting an aftermarket engine to go with it. Laughing

Izit tat once u install a turbo in ur car then it will hav "psst,psst" sound? What is turbo lag? Lastly, turbocharge n supercharge which one is better?

Balfa SG

the phssst sound is the blow off valves dude…

ditzy SG

sbs buses also have, but no one gives a damn. Laughing Its a lag coz the turbo can't spin as fast when you just get it start spinning. Of coz supercharge lor, if turbo was better, superman should be called turboman.

i like this. Laughing

Hahahah what the hell man ditzy. Anyway, acegem, why don’t you consider saving the money for something better?

whats the pt? if it was a good thing to have on yr car, your vios would have came with a turbocharger to begin with.

sorry to burst ur bubble dudette. heard of the vios turbo? puts out 150 horse from the factory over the stock 105 me recalls. Wink

dude;

1) u can't "increase" the compression of an engine by turbocharging it. compression is a measure of the cylinder vol at bdc over tdc remember?

2) blow off valves do not limit performance. it just relieves pressure in the turbocharger when throttle is off. a boost regulator/ waste gate is a more appropriate device to limit performance.

afaik, theres a few force inducted vios' plying the local streets already. not something entirely impossible.

aiyoh..... turbo lag....

turbo works by using engine rpm to drive air in faster and achieve a higher compression ratio. this small efficiency machine can generate up to 40% more horsepower than non-turbocharged cars.

but since the ability to drive air in is dependent on the rpm of the engine, when you just take off with a lower rpm, the extra air and oxygen still has not come into the engine cylinders to give the engine the turbo boost, hence the "turbo lag".

Kr0n SG

Erm, not really, tamago. I think you might have gotten it mixed up with a supercharger.

In a supercharger (SC), it is dependent on the engine's rpm. This however, as tailslide has explained, does nothing to increase compression. I think you might have confused it with the resultant increased pressure in the combustion chamber.

The Compression Ratio is that of volume of cylinder at bottom dead centre : volume of cylinder at top dead centre. This can't be increased/decreased just because a turbocharger or supercharger has been added.

The turbocharger makes use of the pressure of hot exhaust gases to spin the turbine. This turbine sucks in the air, which is compressed during the suction process, resulting in its temperature rising rapidly. The air then goes through an intercooler, where it is allowed to cool before being sent to the engine.

Pros, please correct me if I'm wrong.

like that we put neutral gear and rev up rpm first leh?
then when rpm high enough put to first gear, still got turbo lag?

TC only 150bhp? waste of time. if its so good they'd put it on the base models, or at least make more of it.

^tamago^ SG

haven't try before... Laughing

no turbo lag, but i'd like to see how your clutch copes with trying to engage at high rpms. Laughing won't last long for sure.
