Turbocharger impeller wheels
Turbocharger impeller wheels
(OP)
I want to redesign the turbo impeller wheels in my turbocharger to help the spooling issue that the large turbo has.
I was wondering what material the impeller wheels are made from.
Thanks in advance,Stein

If you think you're going to be able to improve the design you must be a real good engineer!

I just want to exhaust my ideas and I will share my findings and go down with the ship if its a failure. It will be fun if nothing else.
Thanks for the reply's so far, Stein

The ball bearing turbo folks >>claim<< their turbos spool up quicker than those using sleeve bearings.
I have a feeling an exhaust housing with a small A/R (requires a wastegate) and a shot of air injection (ala Porsche in the early 70s) or even NOS just to get the Turbo cranking would yield bigger results.
If your app uses carburetors than manifold length is important too.

Kepp the suggestions coming they are all great.
Thanks,Stein

Here's what to do, and I want a big cut of the profits when you go commercial. Design a variable A/R housing! Much easier/better to improve something stationary than spinning.
