Turbo and Superchargers

Turbo and superchargers are engine components that pump pressurized air into the engine via a compressor. Their function is to increase the power generated by the engine by providing it with increased air pressure inside the cylinders.

Where is the PCV valve on a 1999 Saab 9-5?

On a 1999 Saab 9-5, the Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) valve is typically located on the engine's intake manifold. It is usually found near the rear of the engine, close to the cylinder head. To access it, you may need to remove some engine covers or components for better visibility. Always consult the vehicle's service manual for specific details and diagrams.

Can you have a twin turbo and a supercharger in a car?

Well, isn't that an interesting idea! You see, having both a twin turbo and a supercharger in a car might be a bit tricky. It's like having two happy little trees next to each other, both trying to grow big and strong. It could work, but you'd need to make sure they don't get in each other's way and that your engine can handle all that power. Just remember, there are many ways to create a beautiful masterpiece on wheels, so feel free to explore and see what works best for you.

What is the valve clearances on a 407 Ade turbo?

Oh, dude, valve clearances on a 407 Ade turbo? Like, who even knows that off the top of their head? You'd probably have better luck asking a car manual or a mechanic who isn't me. But hey, good luck with that!

What year did Datsun come out with a twin turbo?

Datsun came out with a twin-turbo model in 1987 with the release of the Nissan 300ZX Turbo.

How does a turbo work?

A turbo uses the exhaust gases to spin a turbine wheel which is connected to the compressor wheel. As it speeds up the compressor wheel draws air in a compresses it in the compressor housing. The pressurized air is forced into the engine, increasing volumetric effiecencies and cylinder pressures which increases the torque output of the engine.

In a nutshell, it forces a higher amount of air/fuel mixture into the cylinder during the intake cycle.

What are project (Turbo electric propulsion)?

Novel uses of turboelectric propulsion : • Turboelectric aircraft system studies, Core turboelectric new systems, and Megawatt- research facilities. Turboelectric systems are electric propulsion systems that use turbines to drive the electrical generators that power electric propulsion, which in turn drive propulsors (as propellers). These systems are probably the only approach for developing electric propulsion systems for a large passenger aircraft that can be feasibly achieved in the ongoing years. The use of other technologies, turboelectric systems could potentially reduce fuel burn by lots to 30 percent or more compared to aircraft in service today.

These projects would include research to better understand the benefits and design trade-offs related to line aircraft systems and the creation of system research facilities to better develop the core megawatt- line systems for turboelectric aircraft propulsion.

How do you get the turbo actuator part of the turbo back on with the turbo still on the motor?

The turbo actuator is a critical component for a turbocharged engine and it can be tricky to put back on with the turbo still on the engine. To ensure the job is done safely and correctly its important that you follow the steps below:

  • Disconnect the battery to ensure that no power is running to the engine.
  • Locate the turbo actuator and loosen the clamp that holds it in place. You may need to use a wrench or socket to do this.
  • Carefully remove the turbo actuator from the engine and set it aside.
  • Clean the area around the turbo actuator and make sure it is free of debris.
  • Reinstall the turbo actuator and tighten the clamp.
  • Reconnect the battery and start the engine.
  • Check the turbo actuator for proper operation.

By following these steps you should be able to successfully get the turbo actuator back on with the turbo still on the motor. Remember to take all necessary precautions when working on a turbocharged engine and always have a qualified mechanic do the job if you are not comfortable doing it yourself.

How a blower works?

A supercharger increases the intake by compressing air above atmospheric pressure, without creating a vacuum. This forces more air into the engine, providing a boost. With the additional air in the boost, more fuel can be added to the charge, and the power of the engine is increased. Supercharging an engine adds an average of 46% more horsepower and 31% more torque.

How do you convert a non turbo car to turbo?

the 300zx is cheaper to buy a turbo'ed engine and all the managment that goes with it. otherwise you have to buy a differenct ecu and a turbo. modify the block and run oil breathers and all the running gear, intercoolers and sensors.

Can you put a blow out valve on an automatic turbo?

yes you can put a blow off valve on any turbo application, A blow off valve helps relieve boost pressure spike/surge when the throttle is quickly closed, helps prevent damage/excessive load on the turbo and throttle body.
