A Motorsports themed introduction to turbine fundamentals part 1
I’m trying to not make each part too long, and my grammar is not perfect. (I’m human lol) and I do most of these off the top of my head like I’m talking to someone on the phone. Hopefully this series helps remove some of the black magic behind the power side of the charger.

How to think about mpg and look for ways to improve it on a diesel.

It’s a question that is often asked but semi difficult to explain over the phone. So I made a video on how to break down what and why of mpg in your engine in a simplified fashion that’s easy to use.
Is boost pressure really a restriction?
มุมมอง 2213 หลายเดือนก่อน
A non animated attempt at changing the way we look at “boost” pressure. Yes there are a handful of mistakes verbally. Lol. Yes there are a million other things missing. It’s a extremely basic template that I use weekly to start to convey to owners of what boost is and why we need as much of it as is realistically possible for free.

This is a practice in estimations w/o having a afr/lambda sensor or maf. It is not meant to be exact. As the charts did not show afr nor was I able to come across any N/A dyno runs with such then it becomes a practice in estimation.

Sxe?
Calculating pressure ratio is clearly not the way. Yes it will help you out, but not if you are not planning to install interstage cooling. If you want a properly sized setup that can be staged as double in terms of flow, you need to use density ratio and not pressure ratio. Density ratio will determine if your hp stage shaft speed will stay in its designed rpm range and efficiency.
Add to this comment of mine. People need to do math backwards! 1. Set your power goal 2. how much mass airflow(in LB/min) 3. What rpm, pressure and IAT I need to make that much of mass air flow with chosen engine. 4. Get your compressor maps out and look where your turbos are most efficient (in regards to PR) 5. If you're Not cooling the interstage small turbo needs to be flowing more than half of the LP stage. 6. If you are using the interstage cooling you can have HP turbo with half or even less flow than LP turbo. 7. Choose turbochargers that should stay within 80% of their maximum mass flow. 8. Don't be suprised how big turbos you really need for LP stage. 😅
can someone please explain why everyone is so excited about turbo charging ??? super charging should better because it doesn't restrict the exhaust. -am i missing something???
@@------country-boy------- absorbed work to drive the compressor 👍
I need to send you an email. I have a stock HE351CW but I’m doing a 6.7 swap and I’ve been thinking a lot about turbine and housing restrictions while trying to decide on a setup for the new engine. Thanks for the timely video, your explanation makes sense but without data it’s all just guessing.
@@88NX250 the modded 351’s work extremely well on the 6.7’s up too- the compressor limit. The 6.7 just runs through the equation faster. But depending upon your goals and main intended use they can be amazing to drive on. I do 1~ a month ish for a 6.7 when the criteria is matching with the owners goals.
Can you comment on split ring seal end gap orientation? I can’t find this information in the Holset manual. I can’t tell from the video how you orient the split rings. Also, does the orientation of the gap in the journal bearing retaining rings matter? Don’t these retaining rings spin freely? Thanks!
@@taylorbohach5386 yes but I don’t really want to do it publicly. I promise it’s not a trick. Dm me on Insta : savage Fabrication or fb Bradley carter. Or text my cell 2094844227. And I can give you my data/ Setup on those. You are correct in that their is no call out for it in the manuals. If the retaining ring is easy to spin, replace it with one that fits with more tension. The retaining rings are not designed to spin, and it will either remove itself or weld itself to the bearing journal if it does.
Do that to my truck
👍👍👍👍👊
👍👍👍👍more math and algebraic expressions 😆🤣..i would've guessed your conclusion would b that turbo tuning determines the best economy and not specifically the injector....all the aspects play a role as u mentioned...is there a magical timing sweet spot for best economy in an inline pumped engine?... Perhaps i should rewatch the video 😆...but anyway, thanks feller..your knowledge and info is invaluable 👍👍👊
@@elroyelblander6277 not really~ it is pretty standard on a oem injector on a p7100 to net best mpg’s around 16-17* but once you change the injector due to all the differences between manufacturers it gets kinda tough to simply state a “this is best” answer. Pair that with different spill port closing settings on the pump depending upon its re calibration and it’s different yet again. 😬😬 it really is just messing with it to find that happy medium zone

Always learning. Super nice truck owner to work with.
So if i had shims would i leave em out or put them back in for 4ks?
As you said it is and isn’t a measure of restriction. If there was not a restriction the turbo would not even make boost like when a boot blows. Anyone that thinks a lower boost number assuming the air temp is the same will make more power is incorrect. More boost always a good thing for making power until the parts can’t take it or the fuel can no longer inject.
@@bcbloc02 makes sense to me feller 👍👍....the only thing that I knew prior,was that an engine with more displacement can produce the same amount of horsepower with less boost than an engine with less cubes ..
He should tune it na then add boost. That would tell if it needs more timing or not with low risk of hurting the motor.
I tapped the small hole like in madmailer's video and put a set screw in there on red loctite; will that do or no?

@@elroyelblander6277 it is not a lie to say that it is a “restriction” but it’s also not a helpful statement either. Due to it being a gas and not a liquid. A better term would be it’s a measure of atmosphere modification over the base atmosphere available.

How much % are the difference between the small turbo and big turbo?
@@jean786 I don’t think percentages are probably a good way to do it due to scaling. The main goal is to (and it kinda goes against one another) but the atmo needs to be as large as possible on the turbine side to set the system up so the pressure drop through the manifold turbo turbine housing is as great as possible. This is known as the expansion ratio and is important for both mass flow rate aswell as work done to the turbine wheel. But as small as is possible so that the system is responsive and hits target pr as quickly as is realistic then maintains it through the rpm band. This is also mani charger dependent but as of late either through housing size or waste gating the atmo charger and adjusting it’s pr to change the speed of the manifold charger to a better location has been yielding extremely awesome results.
this guy would drive a lip reader insane...
To add to your fuel shut off lever trick, don't even take the lever off. Simply loosen it, then slide it forward so it is still on the key and tighten the 8mm head bolt. That way the key won't slide out and the lever is out of the way enough so that you can remove and install the governor spring cap during adjustment. When working under the hood of the truck, it lessens the chance of losing it.
I make 55 psi quick with my setup.
What if you size the twin turbos for a smaller number, lets say 400-500hp, then compound over them with a big turbo?
You could. It is just the compound triple charger setup flipped on its head, :) Instead of twin atmo’s you have twin high pressures. All the same principles apply.
What's the song
Cant wait to get mine !! Thanks brad🥳
Gawd i need this what kinda turbo?
It is a 60/67/6cm I built for it to try and band aid putting too big a a cylinder head on it lol.
Im putting together a compound system om my Kodiak. Can you go into the possible benefits of intercooling between the atmo and manifold turbo. Seem like there would possibly a bunch of efficiency to gain by doing so. Maybe do a hypothetical with and without interstage intercooling.
Really interesting stuff!
I agree :)
According to your grams/KWh I get it is about 53% thermal efficient. There are I believe two big commercial diesel boat engines banging out about 50% with no nitrous.
Thank ya for figuring that one out. I figured i had it incorrect lol. Still pretty insane though to think about compared to other fuel/combustion types.
good vid.
Thank ya :)
Another thing about twins is if the boost pressure is higher faster that makes the computer fuel quicker too thereby increasing power
Agreed. Works backwards for them aswell for better mpg’s lol
If you are running up the surge line you can always run a slightly restrictive air filter or bush the inducer to force the map to the left. This is of course less desirable than just using a smaller inducer as it has more lag.
I never thought about that, I’ve read about it for aircraft and just never put two and two together for a auto engine haha. Very neat.
Ive got a 4BT in a compactor...4B non turbo... I don't think I'd want a 4Bt in any vehicle cause of the noise and vibration.. idk.. perhaps they aren't any worse than a VW or something...if a person could find a bottom balancer assembly and be able to fit it under the hood cause of the added heighth ,it would probably be better..i just don't have any experience with them in a vehicle.. they're loved nonetheless the less tho ... good little engine... maybe they're pretty nice if u keep the RPMS higher and keep them humming??? Idk, don't matter,but anyway 👍👍👍👊
I have heard the same thing from many about the vibrations.
claims are the fluidampr helps a bunch, more so on the 4 vs 6 cylinder
@@Volksguy1970 4 cyl aren't balanced like a 6 because of the firing sequence...but anyway,fluid damper may help, otherwise alot of 4cyls employ an actual gear driven crank balancer assembly of some sort,...2 shaft's running on each side,or there about, of the crankshaft... Some blocks have supports,or whatever,cast right into the block for the balancer shaft's.. even on the related 6 cyl block..cummins would incorporate an entire assembly that bolted to the bottom of the block for the 4bt..series 50 Detroit uses something like that too...but anyway, sorry for the ramble 👊

I find it to be a lot of fun lol. You get curious when power outputs are always all over the place so that leads to questions and hopefully the questions lead to answers
Good info, nice video.
I have the 68mm version of the VGT, which came later and only comes in a T3. It spools my 62/68 SX-E similar to a stock turbo on my 12 valve, which was slightly disappointing for the price of it. I personally think they were marketed more for instant boost on 6.7L engines, since they are a pretty large housing. The top end is outstanding though; and drive pressure is about 60psi at 70psi boost (with compounds). They also have a newer actuator that they call a “three stage,” which I think helps with more linear vane position. This may have been to help the midrange issues you mentioned, but I’m only guessing on that.
I could see that. Most their marketing and testing looks to be mainly 6.7 focused. I have a little bit of background in what goes into making housings and depending on their moq they had at the time I just wonder if they are kinda stuck with a bunch of them, vs I think I and Brian b agree the housing geometry as it sits is a little off what may be ideal. I call them accel/ decell zones and regardless of the name you want the foot to housing to be the only decell region with the nozzle feed to the turbine wheel to be the only accel region. And it appears to have at least two acceleration locations due to the mold design. Brian is cutting/welding on one it sounds like so it would be cool too see if smoothing that out and possibly reducing the housing volume gets it to play a little more on the 5.9’s
100% correct and its how i mapped my compound setup. People dont seem to be able to separate boost pressure numbers from their PR at sea level for the manifold mounted turbo.
I was guilty of that for a long time lol.
You don’t have to compromise if you run your engine at a constant load and speed. 😎
Haha agreed 😎
“Increasing the head pressure” on the small charger was a 💡 for me
It makes cylinder heads make a lot more sense also :)

Mad spool ! That sounds like it’s eatin
I thought I was the only one that did this 😂
Haha I am glad there are more people out there doing it from a the performance side then just the oe’s
Oh you take the torx screws out around the outer ring and the vgt just lifts out. There is a floating ring in the exhaust housing you have to get the blades back into on reassembly but it’s not bad.
I was going to open it up after testing to see if there was anywhere to maybe fill in or remove to possibly get them to play nice
@@savagefabrication795 I have already been grinding and welding on this one to see if I can’t make it a lot better. The idea is great but the execution not so much. They may have cfd but it is a crazy version based on what I see.
@@bcbloc02 I wouldn’t be super surprised if it had very close relations to the oem s300 vgt
I would like a good look at the turbine entry on that VGT to see if it is as trash as the t4 version which basically runs the exhaust pulse straight into a wall then forces it to double 90 before getting into the turbine.
Haha it does! When I saw that I was like well that’s a cross sectional area problem if I’ve ever seen one lol.
Heck the mid is the only place my vgt works good. Well it does spool pretty good down low but it uses a fair bit of drive pressure to do it. I am surprised they aren’t seeing good boost to drive on that 57-65/14 unless it’s on a 6.7. Mine anything below 2300rpm boost was higher than drive.
I imagine it probably helps with the amount of tuning and time you also put into it. But without that experience maybe for the average owner simply making them spool faster with a housing size drop seems to work well
On the vgt it’s just what I have been told by owners. As I have no on hand experience with them the normal conversation is they are alright out of the hole, a flat mid range, and great top end.
Do you have a VGT on your white truck?...
