What is a hybrid turbo ?

A hybrid turbo is based on a specially adapted turbocharger design for to receive internal components that differ from the configuration d’origin’. Depending on the modification, changes may relate to the compressor impeller, its geometry, its dimensions, the casings, the turbine impeller, the thrust bearing system or the balancing.

The aim is d’adjust the compression capacity and flow rate’ dair. However, a hybrid turbo is not defined solely by the appearance of its impeller: the consistency between the components and the settings remains crucial.

MFS compressor wheel: standard or Performance ? ?

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

An MFS wheel Performance may use a geometry suited to the intended application, such as a specific profile, diameter or blade configuration. 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 dair.

A flow rate d’The higher air pressure can enable the engine to produce more power when combined with a suitably sized engine upgrade, although no specific power gain can be guaranteed by the turbo alone’.

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 its blades influence the aerodynamic behaviour of the compressor. The right geometry can move more dair under certain operating conditions.

The result also depends on the compressor housing, the turbine section, the boost pressure and the engine tuning. A larger wheel therefore does not automatically guarantee better handling in all conditions and may affect response time.

Reliability and balancing of the hybrid turbocharger

The 360° stop fitted to each documented stage helps to distribute the axial forces around the axis. It contributes to the mechanical adaptation of the assembly 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. The aim of this operation is to minimise vibrations and mechanical stresses during operation.

Engine remapping and tuning

The mapping and management of boost pressure need to be adjusted for make the most of the hybrid turbo’s features. Depending on the level of preparation, the fuel supply and the air cooling dThe intake, exhaust, clutch or transmission must also be checked or adjusted. The turbo control settings must be adjusted during engine installation and tuning.

How do you choose the right turbo ?

Check the part number marked on the turbocharger dthe original, then compare it with the OEM and manufacturer’s part numbers listed on this sheet. Also check the make, model, generation, body style, engine type and power output of 140 hp, the assembly period and the engine code BMM or BMP. Having the same engine is not always enough to confirm compatibility.
