When the Yoda talks - you listen. Nuf said.
Talks he does, listen you must
When the Yoda talks
You better listen to him
When the Yoda talks
You better do what he say
didnt say what turbo i put in the sti :)!
Could listen for 50mins easy.
Always listen to anyone that has hands that grubby. Would love to actually see a full turbo system breakdown, going from where the bov goes in the system, pipe sizes intercoolers and manifolds. I was hoping this was it, still great Yoda sage wisdom.
Turbo yoda is the kind of guy that when he speaks you listen
GURU AL
Sorry TURBO Yoda...
Indeed.
Unless you heard it all before over the years already on mcm
TY is a god
When turbo yoda says it “Doesn’t work”
It does NOT WORK!
But, but, but I read on this Honda forum that if you just.......
Anders Juel Jensen but turbo yoda said No...so its No!
I would love to see a “how to read a compressor map” video 👍👍👍
Automobile Addict There are a lot of things that I have googled that I would still like to hear Al's personal take on.
"Don't email us about what turbo to put in your STI," Turbo Yoda knows Subaru owners too well lol
But will it fit my Honda?
Been literally waiting forever on this episode! Turbo talk with the Turbo Yoda, you can just tell Al could easily make this into a 90min episode and not a single one of us would find it boring
A junkpile of turbos is such a nice pile of junk to have
Spot on. Nice to see someone on CZcams telling the truth from experience, rather than the bullshit 99% of CZcams and everywhere else say. Especially about the importance of the turbine side, and the facts that BB cores aren't magic spool devices and a wheel made of billet isn't magic power devices.
BraaapStuStuStu: a Choo-Choo How-To
that... is a bloody good title for a turbo install video.. I'm going to use that if I ever get the funds to buy a bigger turbo ahaha "A Choo-Choo How-To"
dootu i do
That fucking comment threw me back in bed and made it throw a skid.
You have a great day when you get to learn something. Thank you Al
So, the real question is whether or not Cheryl is a single entry, or twin scroll?
The Cheryl I know is a 3 entry lol
Excellent episode! For someone who has never owned a turbo car and never really given turbo charging much thought, that is the best 24 minute introduction I could ask for. Lemon squashes all round!
Please understand Al, your detailed explanations are SO brilliant, gladly received and enjoyed. It is easy to simply rate a video clip by the numbers of views and ratio of approval clicks, but this does not truly reflect the value or appreciation that is gained from those of us that follow the MCM main channel but so often wish that the real mechanics (meaning engineering rather than people) of systems such as the turbo were expanded upon. An example is the variable turbo - I've read up on this subject before from Volvo - but your simple comment about why it's not used so much in petrol engines cuts through to the meat of the issue. Just the simple things about demonstrating how the valve moves to control boost is gold in helping to communicate what is happening as the engine runs. You must have felt that 25 minutes on this is a long time but honestly a few hours just on the housings and port design would fly-by. Can I ask that you do a similar exploration on exhaust pipework both from cylinder to turbo and on the tale-pipe please. Back in my early days of playing with cars 20 years ago I learned about patching exhausts to cure power loss it was educational then - even though I used an old pineapple can and jubilee clips to effect my repair. Cameraman: Hold the close-ups and insert stills to support Al's explanations, using some sectional cut-outs and milled exposed components would be super juicy too!
I have seen many videos with turbos explained, but this one was just the best. Simple and easy to understand. Al easy could be a teacher.
Al's delivery skills are top shelf. Thanks for sharing your Turbo magic with us.
incredibly educational. thanks for the video and your hard work!!
Thank you Turbo Yoda! Very well done. You have given me a much better understanding of the science and mechanics of turbos. Best turbo explanation on the Interballs BY FAR!!!
Wow - just wow Thankyou Yoda for enlightening us - so informative and well presented
Dude this was so good, I've seen so many videos on 'Turbos Explained' but none of them went into this much detail, and this filled in so many gaps that most people never explain on other videos. So much of it makes total sense, you shouldn't be giving this knowledge away for free!
Good video. I have a 6.7L Cummins diesel in my truck with a Veritable Geometry Turbo and the variable fins allow me to use engine breaking for when i'm towing down long hills. This is very beneficial for my break temps when towing big loads.
great video guys! Really informative
Great video and great rambling!
Awesome video I sat I listened and Al knows his stuff, a man much knowledge
How sick would it be if Al started doing some teaching at the local TAFE, apprenticeship numbers would go through the roof!
Excellent video! Been waiting for a video like this for a LONG time on the Interbutts. I knew MCM would be the first to release a more in-depth video re: turbos. :) Thanks so much!
Very interesting. Learned a lot. Thanks.
Love the episode guys keep at it. As I always say one of the best car shows on CZcams. And I don't have to ask what turbo to use on my build because I'm building a 1uz you did that already.
Learned so much, great video, thanks
Already knew about turbskis.. but learned a little more! That valve turbo is crazy, never seen one or heard of. Thanks Al!
Super interesting, thanks Al!
Thank you for video. Very informative.
Well done mate...The point of having a change in cam design lowering boost pressure was an insight for me, thanks again.
Very informative thanks boys!
Excellent educational video. Thank you 👍
Love the videos you guys have been pumping out. Keep up the good work boys
Great great explanation. I hope you guys will make more videos like this!
Thanks for the info. I am learning about fabrication and turbo charging. I enjoy the ‘ use what you have ‘ attitude.
That was a great video, i cant believe i self taught myself a lot of that 20+ years ago
It is information i no longer really need, but i appreciate hearing it from a guru
Takes me back. Thank you for making it
Great video, learnt a lot new stuff.
Wow I could sit here for ever and listen to you learning so much from you thank you 🙏🏼
More like this! Very well done. Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge.
Thank you very much for thus video. I have learned so much.
I do love acquiring new knowledge and appreciate the time you took to share it. I still want a screw type blower on my V6 but still an amazing watch
Good explanation! Cheers Al.
Great video Al. I now know a lot more about turbos then I did before.
Nice one Al,interesting stuff.
Super informative video! nice!
Mans a legend 👌🏼 best series on CZcams by far 👍🏼
I learned more than I thought I would. Thanks Al. I appreciate this information.
thanks alot guys !!
thnx Al to explain it all good info about the working from a turbo
Interesting post. Thanks
That was an AWESOME video!
I guess that was as plain and simple as it could get.
I needed this vid, so educational😀now i know alot more about turbos😎 THANK YOU
I have watch this prob a half dozen times over the years great every time.
Love these kinds of videos, this kind of knowledge is almost impossible for me to learn from a book so some visual representation really helps, thank you!
The presenter is great. Very relaxing to listen to and great explanations!
This was more informative than I expected it to be. 👍
I love hearing this guy explain things; so relaxing
Yesss!!! I need more !
Thank you Al.
The best explanation of how turbos work, thanks a lot
Good video al about to share with someone else. Massive thumb up.😉👍👍👍👌
Awesome video, great explanation from a pro. If you do another one of these in future could you include information on why you want multiple turbos?
Really good explanation
Very interesting thanks
I could listen to this guy all day long!
Well said, Turbo Yoda! Thanks for sharing and as always Keep Building. Listen up folks!
Thanks Turbo Yoda!!!! Well put
This was actually really helpful.
And I say that as someone who read Corky Bell's Maximum Boost cover to cover.
I didnt k ow this channel exists and this is awesome!
turbos... the only thing so far that can make Al "ramble" awesome video!
More of these episodes please!
Great info. I have never seen a veined turbo setup on a non industrial turbine before so it's great to learn something new!!! I wish y'all could have had more time to cover modifications to turbochargers like clipping the turbine blades or porting the housings and talk about the effect it has on the torque curve and flow characteristics
O_O there was a lot more to turbos than I expected.
Straight Talking as ever, very refreshing chap cheers.
Another master class
Thank you so much
... i Never thought someone would talk 30minutes about turbos and get me listening straight through the complete video....
„Ba-Ba-Ba-Booooost“ - Freiburger 2015.
On the medium duty diesels, compound turbos replaced variable pitch turbines on International MaxxForce 7 diesels. I could notice a performance difference when the MaxxForce or Powerstroke turbo vanes seized-up, but barely. And that was in medium duty trucks and very heavy light duty trucks like F-450s. I left the heavy equipment stuff behind in 2016, and it was crazy how technology is evolving in modern diesels.
Always enjoyed these type of videos from al. Matter of fact all their content. Anyway when can I expect to to the rest of the barra Bedford build. Dunno if I missed episodes but it seems that all wasn't released as yet
That is awesome info Al! I never knew any of that, not that I'm into turbos yet!
Very good info. I know very little about Turbos (yet I own a twin turbo V6 Ford). Thanks Turbo Yoda, nice'n helpful.
Great vid! Never heard Al talk so much!
I love the way Al explains the different ratios in housings... and how efficiency is directly related...As someone that's been involved with Turbo cars and tuning for over 20 years... And Aircraft for 25 years plus.....Alan is telling the truth..!!!!. simple explanations on what.. means what and dispels the BS when it comes to turbo size... especially nowadays with the technology being as good as it is... Would love to spend a month in Al's workshop being an apprentice again!!!
Please please go on for hours. Really enjoyed that. More like this plz
Excellent tutelage from Turbo Yoda! Awesome! 👍😁👏
hey al, id just like to explain the point of vnt on a diesel engine. yes part of it is emissions, but some of it is also boost vs demand capability. this is how my tdi operates, the more throttle, the more boost demand, shuts vnt down and compensates with fuel as boost comes up. big trucks work the same way. so instead of fueling to get more boost, your boosting and compensating with fuel through electronic controls. not only does it make them more responsive, but also helps emissions, as air/fuel ratios are much more stable then trying to get spool from pushing more fuel. it does also have to do with egr functions too. also cat used twin scrolls for a LONG time, they may not be the originators, but they are the oldest engines ive seen with them, like 70's or earlier. wonderful video!
Legend 🙌🏾
Finally, somebody that gets it!
Variable vane does allow engine braking which is nice.
Thanks turbo Yoda.. that was really helpful :)
These are the most useful videos to our collective. Educating people that talk out their @$$ is the greatest service any of us can do!! Thank you Turbo Yoda and the MCM crew
thank you, thank you, thank you! in the process of learning all about turbos so i can boost my r31 wagon's rb30e... this video couldnt come at a better time :D
Mean yoda u are the wisest thanks enjoyed that
Mind now boggled!
This was a good video, I feel like it touched the topic enough to answer the standard questions but it definitely left me with more questions than I started with and I've had similar stuff before.
For instance in the initial build of 2Sexy, Marty said "Yoda said this intercooler is too big for the application so we're going for this one instead." My thoughts that came from that were, why? What factors make this too big? What range of intercoolers would work best? Why did they choose the one they did go for? Etc.
If this video is used as an information base point for people to get a generic understanding of turbos and then in build videos you explain, briefly or otherwise, why you've chosen the setup that is in it, it will bring that educational side to bear and really allow you guys to demonstrate the knowledge that you have whilst maintaining that entertainment style you have.
thank you !
Cheers al you have convinced me to up my turbine housing. I never wanted to loose my response but over looked the spark advance i could add to compensate . Rb30e+t vn spac is getting turned up
Al, that was great, you are a fantastic presenter.
thanks Al
