Turbochargers provides lots of horsepower, but they also have turbo lag, so it takes time for the turbo to spool up and ...

The compressor map is just an estimate that quickly indicates if the wheel in question will work based on two factors. A map is not the end-all turbo-sizing tool. Turbonetics has a Turbo Match ...

The turbo provides the boost and the electric motor gets rid of the lag. In a world hurtling toward electrification, it’s ...

Consult the turbocharger's compressor map (these are typically available for all compressors) using your calculated airflow rate and pressure ratio. The closer the intersection of those two values ...

A production version of this electrically turbocharged engine from Yamaha is still some time away but Kawasaki has already ...

In very simple terms, a larger turbocharger—with larger turbine and compressor wheels—can force more air into an engine, making more power, but the bigger you go in turbo size, the longer it ...

Honda made waves at EICMA last year when it presented its V3 concept, an innovative configuration with an even more ...

Audi solves the problem of turbo lag another way entirely. It uses a small compressor, also powered by a 48-volt electrical system, to essentially "pre-charge" the existing conventional turbochargers.

and then turns through 90 degrees in the plenum to enter the turbo compressor in a horizontal stream. All passages are as smooth in shape and as generous in area as possible to minimize power-lim ...

The power bump comes courtesy of new steel pistons, injectors, and an upgraded turbo compressor wheel. GM also saw fit to upgrade the temperature control features to keep the Duramax humming in a ...

The powertrain also uses an electric compressor in the turbocharging system to add boost pressure at low rpm and reduce turbo lag. The electric compressor can also recover energy from the exhaust.
