my topic is about the turbo chargers that you can install into cars.

In recent years, engine downsizing becomes popular in modern vehicles since rising demands for less consuming vehicle and more stringent emission regulations. Along with this trend, turbocharging also gains popularity as a method to increase the output of small size engine hence enables it to produce comparable output to bigger displacement engine.

A turbocharger is a device fitted to a vehicle's engine that is designed to improve the overall efficiency and increase performance. This is the reason why many auto manufacturers are choosing to turbocharge their vehicles. The new Chevrolet Trax and Equinox are both offered with turbocharged engines and as time goes on, more and more...

A turbocharger is made up of two main sections: the turbine and the compressor. The turbine consists of the turbine wheel and the turbine housing. It is the job of the turbine housing to guide the exhaust gas into the turbine wheel. The energy from the exhaust gas turns the turbine wheel, and the gas then exits the turbine housing through an exhaust outlet area.

A significant difference between a turbocharged diesel engine and a traditional naturally aspirated gasoline engine is the air entering a diesel engine is compressed before the fuel is injected. This is where the turbocharger is critical to the power output and efficiency of the diesel engine.

It is the job of the turbocharger to compress more air flowing into the engine's cylinder. When air is compressed the oxygen molecules are packed closer together. This increase in air means that more fuel can be added for the same size naturally aspirated engine. This then generates increased mechanical power and overall efficiency improvement of the combustion process. Therefore, the engine size can be reduced for a turbocharged engine leading to better packaging, weight saving benefits and overall improved fuel economy.

How Does a Turbocharger Work?

A turbocharger is made up of two main sections: the turbine and the compressor. The turbine consists of the turbine wheel (1) and the turbine housing (2). It is the job of the turbine housing to guide the exhaust gas (3) into the turbine wheel. The energy from the exhaust gas turns the turbine wheel, and the gas then exits the turbine housing through an exhaust outlet area (4).

The compressor also consists of two parts: the compressor wheel (5) and the compressor housing (6). The compressor's mode of action is opposite that of the turbine. The compressor wheel is attached to the turbine by a forged steel shaft (7), and as the turbine turns the compressor wheel, the high-velocity spinning draws in air and compresses it. The compressor housing then converts the high-velocity, low-pressure air stream into a high-pressure, low-velocity air stream through a process called diffusion. The compressed air (8) is pushed into the engine, allowing the engine to burn more fuel to produce more power.

There are two primary advantages turbocharged engines give drivers. They have greater power density and they are more efficient, the latter of which might mean more to more people. Basically, a turbocharger is connected to an engine to give it more power. This allows smaller engines to put out more horsepower and torque than they ordinarily would. Turbochargers utilize the engine’s hot, expelled air to spin the compressor wheel and take in outside air. This reduces the amount of waste produces. So, when driven carefully, a turbo engine can actually be more efficient than a naturally aspirated one.

You should remember that a turbocharged car's efficiency will dip if you drive aggressively. That's the case for most vehicles, but it's especially true with a turbo engine. Take it easy on the pedal and don't go nuts if you want to achieve maximum efficiency. When driven right, a turbo engine can give you a more powerful more efficient drive. Sounds perfect, right?

The price of a turbocharger typically starts from $400 and goes up depending on the make and model of your car.  For smaller cars such as an Audi A4, or a Subaru Impreza you can expect to pay less for a replacement turbocharger.  If you have a big truck or a sports car you will be looking into the thousands for a replacement turbocharger.  And, if you have an industrial vehicle or a tractor, the sky is the limit on the price for a replacement turbocharger.
