What do numbers on a turbo mean?
A turbocharger's A/R (aspect ratio) typically is the number that is cast into an exhaust-turbine housing that identifies the size of the housing, from the inlet to the radius from the center of the turbine wheel. Basically, the larger the number, the bigger the housing.
What is the difference between a T3 and T4 turbo?
In general, T3 class turbos can deliver air volume for applications in the 200 to 300 HP range. On the other hand, the T4 turbo has a larger turbine on the exhaust side and larger turbine fins on the intake compressor side. ... Generally speaking, T4 turbos are usually for larger motors and use a different exhaust flange.
How do I know what size turbo I have?
The calculation is simple: Divide the absolute outlet pressure that you think you want (14.7 + boost pressure) by the absolute inlet pressure that the Earth says you can have (14.7) and you've got your pressure ratio. Limiting yourself to a reasonable number is the hardest part.
How much power can a T3 T4 turbo make?
While power output varies wildly based on the engine the turbo is hooked up to, plus any supporting mods, most vehicles using a T3/4 are operating around 300-400 horsepower.
How many MM is a T3 turbo?
STS Turbo Journal Bearing Turbocharger - 48.4 mm T3/T4 - 0.36 A/R.
What number is turbo the Snail?
As a normal snail, Turbo has the number 5 painted on his real shell and he tries to practice racing.
What does AR stand for on a turbo?
A/R stands for Area over Radius. It is defined as the inlet (or, for compressor housings, the discharge) cross-sectional area divided by the radius from the turbo centerline to the centroid of that area.
What does GTB turbo mean?
GT simply stands for “Garrett Turbo” 25 refers to the “frame size” of the turbo, based on the turbine wheel inducer (the inducer being the top of the blade). 60 refers to the compressor exducer size, in millimeters, of the compressor wheel.
What is matching of turbocharger?
Turbocharger matching is the process of selecting the optimal compressor and turbine combination to reach the engine performance requirements. ... A suitable compressor will be selected based on the maximum torque and power target at a given engine rpm.
What happens if your turbo is too small?
2) Undersized turbine housing (too small A/R) will give more immediate boost response, to the point of jumpy boost response at throttle tip-in. ... 3) Oversized compressor wheel and undersized A/R will tend to exacerbate the compressor surge by making it come up on boost quicker. Surge can damage bearings.
How do you know if a turbo will fit?
If you can't find a turbo to fit, divide your airflow figures by the number of turbos you want to use. Two turbos flow twice as much air as one, and smaller turbos have a wider efficiency range relative to absolute airflow than smaller ones.
How much HP does turbo add?
A turbocharger works with the exhaust system and can potentially give you gains of 70-150 horsepower. A supercharger is connected directly to the engine intake and could provide an extra 50-100 horsepower.
How much boost can a T3 T4 turbo handle?
These high-boost turbos share the same low inertia and T3 turbine wheel and T4 compressor to make this the best choice for those wanting to make 300-500 horsepower. The high-boost turbo is designed to spool fairly quickly and can support up to 500 horsepower.
How much HP can a T4 turbo make?
T4 turbos are usually for larger motors and use a different exhaust flange. T4's can deliver enough air for applications in the 400 to 800HP range. T4's have been very popular in full tilt 2.5+L Subaru setups to make loads of horsepower.
