Hello My wife's son is building an Audi 5-cylinder 10-valve (petrol) turbo engine, 2144cc. The cylinder head will most likely retain stock size valves, but will receive a mild porting job by a professional (in order not to kill off-boost performance, porting job will not be done to support...

Here's a pic of the said chamber circulated in red. I hope this clarifies the location of the hidden chamber. Please follow the link below, and while on the picture hosting site, click "VIEW FULL SIZE" -option (located on top right corner).

I spotted an additional exhaust runner resonance chamber on BMW 450cc motocross bike engine, see provided link. I have tried to wrap my head around the design function of said chamber with no results. This does not seem to be an anti-reversion chamber. I have however seen similar chambers on...

I know of diesel tuning enthusiasts who have installed PWM controlled variable geometry turbochargers onto engines that are purely mechanically controlled. They've replaced the vacuum operated actuator with an actuator from boost pressure operated wastegate. Plug in the pipe onto intake...

I have noticed turbochargers for diesel applications to have their turbine wheel diameter to be more generously sized as their petrol/gasser engine counterparts. Diameter increase of turbine wheel over compressor wheel varies from about 10% up to 30%. Gasser turbo's have somewhat equally sized...

I understand it's 30% less inertia opposed for all available exhaust flow. Otherwise quicker spool theme would not materialise. Do we agree(?)

I thank you John. That made my day :)

I know of Toyota's system. They shut down other turbo at lower revs, so it'll receive all of the available exhaust gas flow. The remaining turbo will jump in as engine revs clime up. BMW's latest 335i does not have this above mentioned arrangement. It just simply has two small turbo's working...

I've been pondering whether two small turbochargers would offer any benefit over one large turbocharger. I've ploughded throught the net, and found some material suggesting that two small turbo's are a better way to go than one large turbo. Please have a quick peek at linked forum thread. I do...

I thank you folks for a good flow of responses. Let's continue forward. I am seriously playing with idea of two-stage turbocharging (i.e. turbo compounding, which actually does mean connecting turbo mainshaft mechanically onto gearbox, but let's not get into that today..) my small German made...

The very dilemma I have, is to gain a better realisation on differences between diesel engine turbocharger characteristics and petrol (gasoline) engine turbochargers. After some time consuming browsing over various turbo models, end result indicates differences in turbines. Diesel engine...

Thank's.

Does anyone have commentary over this book: http://www.conceptsnrec.com/pdf/FundamentalsofTurbochargingBook.pdf I am a hobbyist, who is looking more detailed info than what "Corky Bell / Maximum Boost" can offer. Recommendations on any turbo books are welcome.
