1.Precautions on handling
(1) The engine oil used for the engine equipped with the turbocharger is used for not only lubricating the engine but for lubricating and cooling the turbocharger. As the engine Read more Precautions for Turbocharger
Water-cooled Type Intercooler
The water-cooled type intercooler utilizes coolant to cool the intake air. Although it utilizes coolant, the intercooler has its independent cooling system, not introducing the coolant from the engine Read more Water-cooled Type Intercooler
Variable Nozzle Vane
The variable nozzle vane changes the flow speed and direction of the exhaust gas to optimize boost pressure from low speeds to high speeds using the engine ECU to control the pitch of the nozzle vane, Read more Variable Nozzle Vane
Turbocharging Indicator Lights
1. Turbocharging indicator lights
The turbocharging indicator lights are built into the combination meter, and inform the driver about operating condition of the turbocharger with green and amber LEDs Read more Turbocharging Indicator Lights
Boost Pressure Control
The turbocharger attains a high output by pumping compressed air into the cylinders. However engine parts will be unable to withstand the explosive force if the boost pressure rises too high. In this case, Read more Boost Pressure Control
Lubrication and Cooling System
1. Lubrication system
Engine oil is supplied from the oil inlet pipe to lubricate and cool the full-floating bearings inside the center housing. After that, the oil passes through the oil outlet pipe Read more Lubrication and Cooling System
How to Increase Fuel Injection Volume
An engine equipped with a turbocharger or supercharger forces a greater volume of air into the cylinder. The power output does not increase until the intake air is burned completely. For this reason, it Read more How to Increase Fuel Injection Volume
What is Turbocharger ?
The turbocharger is a device which uses the energy of the exhaust gas to rotate the turbine wheel at high speeds. There is a compressor wheel on the same shaft as the turbine wheel which compresses air Read more What is Turbocharger ?
Features of Turbocharger and Supercharger
Both the turbocharger and supercharger are a kind of air pump, which force the air into the cylinder to increase the mass of the intake air. The conventional engine draws air in, using the vacuum generated Read more Features of Turbocharger and Supercharger
Necessity of Turbocharger and Supercharger
The turbocharger and supercharger are devices that force air into the cylinders creating a pressure that is greater than the atmospheric pressure in order to increase engine output. Generally, the engine Read more Necessity of Turbocharger and Supercharger
