What is a hybrid turbo ?

A hybrid turbo utilises a suitably adapted turbocharger design for to receive modified internal components. Depending on the course, the preparation may involve the compressor wheel, the turbine wheel, the casings, the thrust bearing system and balancing.

The aim is d'adjust the compression capacity and flow rate' d'air to meet the requirements of the preparation'. However, a hybrid turbocharger is not defined solely by the appearance of its impeller: the geometry of the impellers and their integration with the housings are crucial.

MFS compressor wheel: standard or Performance ? ?

MFS stands for ‘Milled From Solid’, meaning a wheel machined from a solid block. This manufacturing process does not, on its own, guarantee an increase in throughput d'air'. A standard MFS wheel can retain a geometry equivalent to that d'origin'.

An MFS wheel Performance may have a geometry suited to the task, in particular in terms of its profile, the height or width of its blades, their arrangement or its diameter. On this product, the MFS wheel shown is made of forged aluminium; it is lighter, larger and taller than the one d'original'; the product data indicates a further 15 per cent compression.

A standard MFS wheel can be just as shiny as an MFS wheel Performance. It is not its appearance that determines its performance, but its geometry and its ability to move more d'air'. A higher flow rate may go hand in hand with an increase in power when the engine has been properly tuned, although this alone does not guarantee a specific result.

Why does the geometry of the blades affect the flow rate? d'air?' ?

The compressor wheel draws in and then compresses the air fed to the engine. Its diameter, profile, height, width and the arrangement of the blades all influence its aerodynamic behaviour. The right geometry can move more d'air under certain operating conditions'.

The result also depends on the compressor housing, the impeller and the turbine housing, the boost pressure and the engine tuning. A larger wheel does not automatically guarantee better performance and may affect response time and range d'optimal use'.

Reliability and balancing of the hybrid turbocharger

The 360° bearing stop distributes axial forces over a wide area. It helps to adapt the bearing system to the stresses of the preparation process, without making the turbocharger insensitive to faults in assembly or lubrication.

The rotor is balanced at high speed, up to 150,000 rpm, on a Cimat VSR test bench. This operation is designed to minimise the vibrations and mechanical stresses generated during rotation.

Engine remapping and tuning

Making use of characteristics d'A hybrid turbo requires appropriate engine management'. The mapping, boost pressure and wastegate settings must be checked when remapping the ECU.

Depending on the level of preparation, it is also advisable to check whether or d'adjust the fuel injection, exhaust, cooling, intake and, if necessary, the transmission'. The editing d'A hybrid turbo does not automatically guarantee a power boost without the right set-up'.

How do you choose the right turbo ?

Check the part number marked on the turbocharger d'origin and compare it with the OEM and manufacturer part numbers listed on this sheet'. Also check the make, model, generation, engine type and power output in hp, the assembly period and the engine code, where available.

The same engine can be fitted with several different turbo set-ups. The single designation 1.6 D, , JTD or Multijet is therefore not always sufficient to confirm compatibility.
