Coming from a 15 y.o car enthusiast, loved this episode of Boost School and can't wait for the next one! Liked and subbed. Question: Can you address the way F1 cars place their turbos in an episode? (Elongated turbo shaft)
@Pandacat 666 that's a Polish surname for you :) I came back from Gdansk yesterday and regardless I'm going there at least twice a year since 2007, I still can't read it and barely survive with the few words I remember by sound, LoL. Just imagine one of their decently large city I stopped-by going back from Torun to Gdansk is named "Bydgoszcz" which is like a joke to non Polish speakers :)
Sunday morning D4A lessons are the best. On a related note, ATS’s CT-21 Blackjack turbocharger upgrade is everything you want in a stock chassis upgrade. It comes on sooner, blows harder and doesn’t fall off at redline. I’ve only got about 3k miles on mine but I’m very glad I chose it.
@@d4a SW20 MR2T and G5-6 Celica GT-Four. I’m not sure if they make a version for the other CT-2x chassis turbochargers in the G4 Celica, MKIII Supra and Hilux platforms. Their exhaust housings are all single entry.
@@d4a Not at all. This is my local tuning house but they’ve been improving this design for close to two decades now. I should note that I sprung for all the upgrades. Machined exhaust housing for better flow, ported wastegate, upgraded wastegate actuator (1 atmos), coated exhaust housing and the billet compressor wheel upgrade.
Just got my first turbo car (an STI) and I already know like 3x as much as a did a week ago from this and your EJ engine video. I can't believe how great this channel is. You're the man!
Thank you for the content. I'm from Singapore 🇸🇬, and I just came to know about your channel. Just wanna say your content is so solid with a lot of in depth explanation. Definitely widens knowledge of many others like myself who are interested in learning more. 👍🏻
I'm a great fan of your videos . Amazing that your'e able to make a near-20 minutes video regarding con-rods, and every second is a pleasure. Keep up the EXCELLENt work
I was considering making this exact comparison video in the future, but I think you did a way better job than I would! It is crazy the value proposition of these turbos. If you want to learn way more about turbos than you thought you could for free, I highly recommend the channel TurboDirect S.A his videos will blow your mind with info. The one other area I'd like to know about on these turbos is if the wheel is from a forged billet or not. Obviously a forged wheel is even another step up in advantages!
Thanks for making this video, just rebuilt my turbos for my 3000gt. I assumed billet turbines had an advantage, and you're the first person to confirm this, thanks for the info. 👍
Do they have different micron ratings on those filters? I understand the idea is to get as much fresh air in. So this I guess should also depend upon the surface area? Truly I have no idea as I'm running OEM. I'm at high altitude and am just looking oxygen lol.
That's what air filters are for....the manufacturer coated the wheel so that people would think it's stronger..and it would be distinct and stand out.. there's no real benefit to coating the wheel other than that... it's already a billet wheel...it's as strong as it's gonna be.....
@@boosted2.4_sky Filters still pass particles, especially in off road applications. Titanium is a surface hardening treatment. You don't normally see the compressor anyway, so why do it just for looks.
Thats why i always laugh at people when they say running a BOV/ BPV Blanking plate and forcing the Turbo to Flutter/Surge is fine and that it dont harm the Turbos lifespan. But they dont realise when you say making 15psi boost and let off the gas, the air that makes turbo flutter and stall is coming back at 15psi its no different to taking a rubber mullet and wacking the compressor wheel directly with 15psi of force (if its 4" squared surface area thats equal to hitting compressor wheel with 60 pounds of force with a hammer.) Over short time it DOES Damage the turbo and bearings in it, Specially Journal Bearing Turbos which are not designed to take in /out thrust loads Rough Guide for average Turbo Life Span is (only for new water/oil cooled turbos given a proper warm up & cool down periods. - Journal Bearing Turbo (like a TD04 on Subaru) Should Last 300,000km - 350,000km without issues till the Ring Seals Wear out. - Ball bearing Turbo Should last 150,000-200,000km Without issues until the bearing need to be replaced. (Journal bearings tend to last Much Much longer in ALL Applications and why they are used in train axles as BB Can't Take the Loads. While Journal bearings actually have Zero contact Parts and Float on a Film of Oil, where as BB turbos roll on little ball bearings, just like a Train Axle there is no Ball Bearings in there as they cant handle 20 tonnes per square inch like journal bearings can handle much higher load up until oil in squeazed so hard it boils or ignites)
6:31 titanium coated increases blade strength if running a pre turbo water setup make sure to run distilled water in a water setup you’d be surprised how much calcium wears out that wheel
So I have an idea for a video I’d love to see from you. A video on brakes would be killer and it could be done through different videos. Like what the differences between blank slotted Drilled and slotted and just drilled rotors are. As well as what the differences between stock brakes and a big brake kit is as well as what’s in different brake pads and so on. It would be a neat series. I really enjoy your videos and in my opinion you are one of the best if not the best channel for explaining parts and everything in a way that is exceptional for visual learners!
Yet another awesome installment, ❤ the gold assimilation, I was taking a sip of my drink and almost sprayed it all over! As always your videos are over the top. You are such a talented guy.
" its made of Gold" ......made me laughing so hard :D Can´t thank you enough for all the knowledge you pass on. You are the Turbo Professor any tuning student should sign up for classes.
tip: flip the angles wrench around, with the handle angles towards the thread side, if possible. this pulls the wrench more and more towards the bolt when applying torque, and makes it harder to round bolts!
So, in theory, if Dr. Emmett Brown had a twin-scroll turbocharger with a billet compressor wheel, a stainless steel turbine housing, and Inconel internals in his DeLorean combined with that monstrous flux capacitor, he could've easily had gotten to 88 miles per hour in around 5 seconds. He should've stopped by a tuning shop first instead of looking for Biff and Marty's family!
While everyone was crowing on about hoverboards in 2015, i was wanting Goldie Wilson Hover Conversions so we could all have flying shitbox 90's Hondas.
First things first. Very well made and informative video again right there :) much appreciated! ... And boost is always the solution! Grab the biggest well made turbo that physically makes sense for your engine and turn up the boost to the max! 4,1 bar boost pressure (thats around 60 PSI) help to sort out ANY issues your car might have! cheap pistons, bad rods, weak head gaskets, old and chinsy gearboxes and even some differentials! :D
Journal bearings do handle street abuse better than ball bearings. A racing set-up on the other hand shows the sustained high rpm and abuse are better suited for ball and ceramic bearings. Yes, they cost a lot more money. I am not saying the journal bearings won't work, so I guess it's like buying insurance, ...or bragging rights! Take note, everything spun around has a resonation point allowing cavitation and ware. The bearing turbo will have much less resonation due to better, tighter tolerances Great Video!! You rock!
TiN coating helps with longevity from small particulate like extremely fine dust that can get through the air filter but can be abrasive in large quantity over time.
So basically, get a junkyard LS, buy two cheap eBay GT3582 turbos and absolutely obliterate almost anything that isn’t a serious build for less than this month’s rent (depending on where you live I suppose)
Great video. I really do enjoy how you present and explain some complex subjects in a way that a dumb @rse like me can understand. I've learnt a lot through your videos. I'd really like to see more videos in the boost school series. Particularly how to read a compressor map and pick the right turbo for an application. Do you just need a video sponsor to make this happen?
I have a friend that had a 1g eclipse gsx that was built to hell and back. He would only buy the cheapo $100 giant turbos and they'd only ever last a season. He'd then just buy another. I never understood why he didn't just buy the more expensive stronger turbo when over the span of a few years the cost added up to the expensive unit anyway. I wish I could go back in time 15 years and show him your video!!
Break the ceramic portion of a spark plug and throw a small piece at a pane of glass lightly. It will explode with unexpected sound and energy . When the outer surface of cast metal is cooling its trapping heat inside and distorting the grain structure because it's cooling unevenly and trapping forces inside , that's why some parts are stress relieved. Billet has a much greater time to cool then is cold machined in a cnc. The typical culprit of a failed turbo is the chra cartridge failing and allowing the wheel to make contact with the housing. Incolnel turbine wheels are the strongest , typically you fail on the compressor side aka precision turbos vs garett chra center sections. You'll be smoking and breaking compressors way before you'll have a housing failure.
Its been years since i built a nice knock around sleeper.... and after watching this video i got the itch to build myself a another one. The old one died a painful death when the timing belt broke and bent the valves. I wonder what kind of car i should start with??? Toyota matrix? Honda Civic? Maybe a Kia???
Cool looking turbo: has a golden-plated compressor wheel just because it looks much better!! 😎🌟💯 Also Cool looking turbo: will always remain hidden into an engine bay so that no one will ever see it 🤦♂🤷♂
Man. I remember when factory-equivalent turbos cost a thousand bucks or more. The titanium-nitride coating on the more expensive turbo will survive abrasion better, which means it's designed for idiots who run without air filters to get that extra 1.5hp out of their racing engines.
Very informative but I wouldn't categorize the cheap turbo as a bad one but as a less performant one, for daily driving and once in a while boost to pass the cars faster is fun enough, yes the risk of damaging it faster than the more expensive turbo is high but for a fun project worth the money even if it blows or cracks. I already got a cheap one and can't wait to try it, if it blows, I'm buying a GTR one. Or I'll change the broken parts to new better ones from my local turbo fixing shop.
Honestly I clicked on this expecting to hear about the compressor's ability to create a low pressure zone where strength was related to power, but the structural bits were interesting too.
I've found component weight makes little difference to spool up time, I went from a td06 sl2 11-blade stock clipped style turbine that weighed 223g to a 9-blade taller and flatter blade discharge angle turbine that weighed 267g and it comes on boost faster, ignoring the extra weight. I'd posit the weight is not far from the centre of the shaft so the effect is small. If you've seen the stock sl2 turbine, it's a crappy design
Hey buddy, I currently run the OEM VF53 twin-scroll turbo on my 13' STI Spec C. Will the Racing Turbo GT 28 do more boost? I love the work you do. I just subscribed! Cheers!
I get 18 psi maximum boost on my 2001 Dodge 3500 with the stock turbo on the 5.9 liter Cummins diesel engine. I really would like more boost but not for increased power but instead more boost for the same power lowers the Exhaust gas temperature. With the stock setup I can pull my 30' toyhauler up most any grade while watching the EGT very carefully and making sure it doesn't exceed 1200 degrees F. There are a few grades near my home (within 150 miles) where I need to use a power pedal setting that requires I slow down and downshift to keep the EGT under control. There's plenty of power but it's not usable in these conditions. Have you done any videos on upgrading turbos on a diesel pickup? I want to run a twin turbo setup with a large atmospheric turbo and a smaller compressed side turbo, basically in a series setup. I'd like to know if you've done any videos on setups like this.
What if I purposely want my car to make a loud stututututu from compressor surge, if I upgrade my turbo can I make this possible without damaging anything?
45 psi is actually quite realistic; look for the video "Mit 3.3 Bar durch die Waschanlage", it's from the german tuning/car youtuber Marco Degenhardt (5ZylMarco) and shows his Audi Coupé with a turbocharged 5 zylinder engine which had 3,3 bar of boost pressure (or 48 psi) and the engine lasted quite well

I'm thinking the gold titanium coating on the compressor wheel might help prevent wear from dust particles, especially for off road applications.
You wont be sucking up any dust through the turbo cause of the air filter
@@thaton3guy100 Air filters aren't perfect, and over time dust can erode an aluminum compressor that's spinning at 80,000 rpm.

Hey buddy, I currently run the OEM VF53 twin-scroll turbo on my 13' STI Spec C. Will the Racing Turbo GT 28 do more boost? I love the work you do. I just subscribed! Cheers!
please make a details video on super chargers
What about compound turbó charging?
A 360 degree thrust bearing from a TD04 rebuild kit is a common upgrade for these maxpeedingrods turbos.
I get 18 psi maximum boost on my 2001 Dodge 3500 with the stock turbo on the 5.9 liter Cummins diesel engine. I really would like more boost but not for increased power but instead more boost for the same power lowers the Exhaust gas temperature. With the stock setup I can pull my 30' toyhauler up most any grade while watching the EGT very carefully and making sure it doesn't exceed 1200 degrees F. There are a few grades near my home (within 150 miles) where I need to use a power pedal setting that requires I slow down and downshift to keep the EGT under control. There's plenty of power but it's not usable in these conditions.
Have you done any videos on upgrading turbos on a diesel pickup? I want to run a twin turbo setup with a large atmospheric turbo and a smaller compressed side turbo, basically in a series setup. I'd like to know if you've done any videos on setups like this.
What if I purposely want my car to make a loud stututututu from compressor surge, if I upgrade my turbo can I make this possible without damaging anything?
good question
Thank u 💜🙏
45 psi is actually quite realistic; look for the video "Mit 3.3 Bar durch die Waschanlage", it's from the german tuning/car youtuber Marco Degenhardt (5ZylMarco) and shows his Audi Coupé with a turbocharged 5 zylinder engine which had 3,3 bar of boost pressure (or 48 psi) and the engine lasted quite well
There was a famous 1.9 Tdi that ran 90psi boost.
Only made 400ish hp.
But made 1100tq
Aw... no tutorial for the exhaust side? The process and tools used for the blades are pretty entertaining to watch
