- Turbochargers Explained | How Single, Twin-Scroll, VGT & Electric Turbocharger Works?
Turbocharger:
A turbocharger often called a turbo, is a gas compressor. It is used to force air into an internal combustion engine. A turbocharger is a form of forced induction.
It compresses the intake gas forcing more air into the engine to produce more power for a given displacement. They have greater power density, and they are more efficient. A turbocharger is connected to an engine to give it more power.
At the most basic level, a turbocharger consists of just three major components: the turbine, the compressor, and the bearing system that supports the turbine shaft, connecting the turbine and compressor wheels together.
Working:
As the engine is running, the exhaust gases would otherwise be wasted, but on a turbocharged engine, these exhaust gases pass through the turbo, which spins one fan called the turbine.
The turbine wheel is responsible for converting heat and pressure into rotational force. As the turbine wheel rotates, it spins the turbine shaft, which spins the compressor wheel.
As you see, the compressor wheel has a fixed connection to the turbine wheel via a standard shaft, so when the turbine wheel spins, the compressor wheel also spins. The compressor’s job is to suck air into the turbocharger, pressurize it, and force it into the engine intake manifold. And from there, into your combustion chamber, this air compression helps turbocharged engines produce more power at normal atmospheric pressure.
Components of Turbocharger:
Other main components of a turbocharger are a wastegate, intercooler, actuator bearing system, and oil supply. The wastegate is a valve that controls the number of exhaust gases that flow through the turbine. It regulates the boost pressure and prevents the turbocharger from overspeeding.
Intercooler: An intercooler is used to cool the compressed air from the compressor before entering the engine. This helps to increase the density of the air, which results in more oxygen available for combustion and more power from the engine.
Oil supply and Drain: Turbocharger needs lubrication and cooling. Thus, it's connected to the engine's oil supply system to provide lubrication and cooling to the bearings and shaft. Also, it has a drain system to remove the oil that has circulated through the turbo.
Bearing system: The bearing system is a set of bearings that support the shaft and allows it to rotate smoothly and efficiently. The bearing system also helps maintain the turbocharger's proper operating conditions.

Fun fact: The Roots-style superchargers are older than the piston engine itself and were first in use to pump air into iron furnaces.
A roots supercharger is a lobe pump, they already existed before piston engines, it was only when one was fitted to an engine that it started being called a supercharger. Centrifugal compressors also existed long before, as did turbines. Again it was only when one was fitted to an engine that they started calling it a turbocharger.

I love that i can sit here for 18 min while watching this and stay fully interested, but i cant pay attention in class and fall asleep lol
Perfect, very well explained, this is the type of channels that must be supported. Knowledge is Power.
Glad you liked it
Thank you very much, I am learning a lot from the videos posted on this channel
You´ve missed the Saab 99 Turbo, developed in 1977, and introduced their 99 Turbo in 1978, with a wastegate, in a ordinary familycar.
Thank you for pointing that out, the Saab 99 Turbo was a significant development for Saab and it was fitted with a turbocharged version of the 2-litre engine. We'll make sure to include it in future videos.
Saab Turbo was my first experience with a turbo vehicle. It was a fun car to drive. I loved feeling that Turbo Power kick in.
In Australia, when a saab arrives off the boat, it takes about 6 weeks before it can go on the sale lot, due to the need to do rust repairs on them. the company I worked for use to do about 20 a week.
@@TheEngineersPostaàa is
Facts born from Jets brother everybody keeps forgetting about them they call them GM but it wasn't jam it was saab opal they are the reason why almost every car on the lot now is turbocharged
Good information.. Keep up the good work
So interesting. Very cool video. Would’ve liked a few more examples
Well explained ❤❤❤
자동차 기술이 대단하십니다
I'm a commerce student but I still enjoy watching engine related stuff
Same here 😎
That's great! It's always good to have diverse interests and expanding your knowledge in different fields. I'm sure your understanding of engines will come in handy in your commerce studies as well.
@@TheEngineersPost yeh for some personal projects 😎
I am also mechanical engineer and my own car workshop I lv automobile very much ....m
software developer here, also love learning about automotive technology
A turbo with a motor that can eliminate lag and become a generator is the smartest yet so far.
Thanks for explaining easily👍👍👍
you're welcome
Loved it!
Thanks for the insight.
The electric ones work ok and may the next to be installed in cars, trucks etc .You can get them as tween turbos as well.I have seen them installed in a Chevy Volt here on CZcams but it was a little crazy but it worked on the 2.2 engine .Single one was 2500 dollars and th tween turbo kit double price as the single turbo kit .
g3
Understandable way thank you
Very good video
Man I love your channel so much thank you for your dedication to this channel❤️ one thing and I don't mean it as a criticism - as I'm sure it has been said before - but is there any chance on changing the automated voice?
Soo precisely explainedd ❤️
Glad you liked it
I never have knew so much like this before😮
Very Creative Technology Products Video Review......!
Work for us a series of all injection systems and their types in the engine (diesel and gasoline)
Thanks for the suggestion!
Holy crap, 1962 was the first water meth type intake type lol. That's cool.
Good job.
Thanks!
great video, i have a 2021 Mazda 3 with a Turbocharged 2.5 inline 4 (250HP & 320TQ)
I have a 2007 Ford Focus St 2.5 five cylinder turbo running 340bhp
I got a 2017 q60 3.0t it’s a v6 twin turbo with 300whp. What I love about the car is just full bolt ons and a tune, and it’ll get 450 whp or 530bhp
Nice information
After watch this I understand concept
Awesome human creation
I need to learn more about automotive to get better on automotive and to work
how to determine extraction rotation of compressor wheel during overhauling
Nice
thanks for explain that was perfect video
Please your videos are watched all over the world. So please some conversions in brackets can help people that doesn't use imperial systems . Thanks 🙏🏾
No one uses the Imperial system since England and Canada switched to the metric system. Here in the States, we are slowly losing our American Standard system which is a shame as it is really suited to the US needs which the metric system cannot fulfill.
very educational, thank you very much.
Electric driven turbo charger is promising and should be further developed by using vfd motors electronically controlled with respect to engine speed or throttle. .Anyway, thanks for the knowledge!
What is the cause of not functioning of the lever of the actuator of the turbo

Thanks for watching
I love mu turbo diesel it just floats up the mountains
Thanks for "tuning" in. I see what you did there.
Would you consider joining our "intake" ?
Nice power
Is there a way to put both systems?
If it gets to be electric, then we can even use a reciprocating pump, eliminating rotors altogether. Far more efficient and a small pump can produce all the pressure needed. In fact, a little cylinder can store a certain amount of compressed air to open up and supply the extra air to the engine as soon as it starts up.
What is the operation of the VGT at maximum pressure and minimum pressure and what is the position of the vanes when the engine is off?
3:01 - I always thought the wastegate was on the cold side (compressor) of the turbo. But the video says it is on the hot (turbine) side.
Nice❤
Nice vidio very nice
Turbos power in insane😍
Back in the 90’s you could buy a turbo go a car and it was called ‘TURBO ZET’. They were electric and worked well, you could get a kit for loads of cars!! Dunno what happened to them??
BMW M50D also has 4 turbo’s on a inline 6
Can you make a video about how does an Airbag System works?
Thanks for the suggestion!
Yeah you hit stuff the crash beam gets damaged and you get hit and probably die or get a severe concussion
Mercedes were using forced induction in the 1920's, but that was a supercharger, coupled directly to the crank via electric clutch.
That merc with plate licence PDN was from Philippines, wow
Op power 👀👀
Hii dear, can just tell me when we are putting massive turbo in car like 103 mm inlet hose, should engine need tuning like crank, cam, valve piston and con rod replacement.
The best
So you hook up your turbo to the air intake and the exhaust manifold? Why doesn’t that make sense to me.
Basically...
The exhaust spins it
The spinny thing is now spun
Air doesn't like to be spun as it gets hotter.. so its fed into a intercooler
Then if there to much air it goes su tu tu tu
Cannot be simpler
@@nolesy34 lmao perfect "su tu tu tu"
colder air is denser air = moar air. otherwise its all just hot air
Turbos are all fine and stuff, probably all engines should have them.
Thanks 🦾🦾
Saying that turbos are more compact than superchargers is wrong. The full assembly of a supercharger literally comprehends the supercharger and the pulley with the belt. A turbocharger unit in the other hand consists of the turbo, the whole intake manifold, the exhaust from the engine to the hot side of the turbine, the wastegate, the oil line to the turbo and this is the essential; imagine the space that this system occupies with all the sensors and electrical harness, the intercooler, and the pop-off valve with the screamer exhausts.
What turbo system would you recommend for a Mercedes ce230 w124 1998? 2.3L
4m40 engine turbocharger how to service it?
Great video. Can you notice an e-booster for motorcycle? Thanks.
Idky I'm watching this when ik all this already 🤣
Hi i have a Q ... i have a 2004 toyota camry 4 cylinder can i install a single turbo to it ?? Or do i have to change things in the engine as my engine is stock
I want to learn about turbocharger from basics to professional level. where do i start from? also suggest me some book or website where i can get more information. Thanks
Lose the synthetic voice.
I think my favorite part is the trBINE.
And the Hybrid turbo ?
Many of the vehicles from WW2 that drove development of turbos were gasoline powered.
I feel like an electric supercharger would be way better then elec turbo because it would take more power to turn but but they wouldn't have to be spun as fast
Which turbo charger used in kia seltos
The Kia Seltos is available with two different turbocharged engines. The 1.6-liter Turbo GDI engine uses a twin-scroll turbocharger, while the 1.4-liter Turbo GDI engine uses a single-scroll turbocharger.
I wonder if there is a turbo attachment that shoots air in the form of pure oxygen, right into the turbo
That Would Be A Supercharger
I doubt it very much. Where would that oxygen come from? You'd need an oxygen cylinder in the vehicle.
Basically what a Nitrous oxide system does.
“Thanks for tunning in to our video” no pun intended 😊
Hi You Forget the BMW 2002 Tii
Gran Turismo games in the future give videos like this to click on in the upgrade section.
You forgot the moste important piece of the turbo system the Waste gate
I though turbos we're just turbos lmao I didn't know there's to much
Ok ji
Why does it sound like this video was recorded 20 years ago? 😆
No, seriously, the video was fantastic; great job learned a lot.
But animation is like 20 years in future
where can i purchase an electric assist turbo for my 1994 2.8 Pajero?
can someone explain why some people use dual wastegates on twin scroll turbos?
1 for each side = everyone knows that !
Svp je veux cette vidéo en français 😢😢😢😢
Waoo
and for turbocharger you need to limit psi because it can damage your engine
1975 911 turbo was 256 bhp not 276bhp
Just a Learning Question on Turbocharger for a V6 3.6l engine in Porsche Cayenne. Can you run an Air Cooler for the Exhaust Gases to help keep the Turbo cool? And Running your Oil through a Transmission cooler be Wise Too? Thanks.
You very much do not want to aircool your exhaust, you're gonna take energy away from it and it won't be able to spool the turbine, plus you'd probably melt the cooler anyway. Consider water cooled turbo. There's also oil coolers if you're worried about overheating your oil. Anyway, if you want to DIY then you have to EXTENSIVELY research the topic of boosting or you risk blowing your engine. Or just give it to someone experienced, boosting is not cheap anyway.
Maaaan... imagine flying at 40,000 feet in a biplane!!! Open cockpit! I get the engine is turbocharged but did they also turbocharge the pilot so he gets air to breathe? People were built different back then.
Why the turbo should not overspeed sir pls reply
i cant beleive turbo but my discover how to make cars very fast i beleive even your engine ahead 5000 cc you loss 12 years discover untill now im using no engine damage
I have no idea how something can spin over 200,000 times a minute.
It floats on a oil film :D the small 0.8 smart engines rev their turbo up to 120k already
You can hear a turbo . Though it can reach higher notes than any singer. Maybe listen to a video with a big single turbo. Less scary RPM.
I used the work for an air bearing company & we made drills that ran over 300,000rpm. Because the bearing is air,there isn't heat build up.
Have a look @ Westwind airbearings.
And yet...
BLOWERS are THE ONLY WAY to make 12,000 HP dragsters work!
Twin turbo diff turbo size and biturbo same turbo size... what?
He’s wrong in that, twin turbo and bi turbo mean the same thing, the turbos are both the same size.
next time metric please
You forgot SAAB!!!!
tur-bine
Ah yes, customers not knowing wtf they are doing and complaining about the cars they bought "not working properly" to the point wher turbos got removed from cars. Classic
Not sure if I agree with a lot of the comparisons to superchargers. The latter can use a standard manifold, downpipe and exhaust, doesn't need an intercooler for lower boost applications, requires less complex vacuum systems, fits more directly to the engine making it easier to install etc.
I suspect the turbo is more common because it can be driven off boost which will fudge the MPG and emissions figures. A supercharger is always on, always adding boost from idle to redline.
In a gasoline engine the throttle leverages the turbo to expand the pressure range. With a supercharger driven of the crankshaft, the compressor and throttle fight each other.
Definitely more power potential with a turbo set up, although at higher cost and more complicated packaging as you said.
You missed-out the MOST IMPORTANT early turbo application in a car - the BMW 2002 turbo, launched September 1973. Europe's first petrol/gasoline turbo, before Porsche (1975) or Mercedes (1978)
Though not the first use of a Turbo on a car.
1962 Oldsmobile Jetfire V8
its my first time lets hope i will won 2023
Haha, 6-8 lbs?? This isn't 1981 with you're Turbo Trans Am anymore....
This is so hard on my ears. Really bends my wookie.
